- This is priceless. The people that see the problem in black and white finally got a taste of what the other side thinks. This is not just a Mexican problem, there are other types of illegal immigration.
What is the Meaning of Freedom and Liberty?
Mon Nov 2, 2009
- All things are not as cut and dried as it may seem. For instance you used to smoke. What did you think about your freedom to smoke then? I don't mean that as a rude question. I just wonder if a part of you understands the hold it has on a person and the struggles it takes to quit.

- I believe in Freedom and I believe in personal responsibility. Can you have one with out the other? I will use the smoking as an example as I quit 2 years ago. Are you free to smoke, you bet you are. You are free to put all those nasty chemicals in your body if you want to.

- It is my opinion that this is one of the reasons that our government is so corrupt. There is no accountability for contractors or for the politicians themselves. I think that President Johnson said it best

- You go away to do business for a while and come back to something like this. What in the world is going on? I am both disappointed and appalled all in one. Why would you want to destroy on of the best social news sites on the vine.
Simple Question

- Mostly we spend the majority of our lives chasing after the elusive security. We want to leave to our children a legacy of prosperity. What we fail to realize is the it is illusion. Who really gets an inheritance, you or the government? Do we really appreciate it if we don't work for it?

- River, I haven't commented on your posts for a long time, I don't know why, maybe because I have been caught up in the health care reform issue. That is neither here not there.
ACORN Officials Videotaped Telling 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' How to Lie to IRS
Thu Sep 10, 2009
- I am actually surprised at all of you believing this video. With the ability to manipulate images and video these days I don't believe a word of it. This could be a very good fabrication. I watched the video and I don't see any real connection to the office of ACORN.
Making case for leadership, not just health bill
Thu Sep 10, 2009
- I want health care reform, I want the blood sucking inhuman ghoulish private insurance companies to go out of business. I had an employee that was "rescinded" due to a small clerical error, something he didn't even know about, after 10 years of paying premiums.

We often use the expression "Free as a bird." It occurred to me the other day, that the bird may not be so free as it seems. He may have a wife an kids to feed, back at the tree.

Isn't There Room on Newsvine For Us All?
There has been a spate of articles lately condemning and praising various types of articles. Apparently, some Viners feel that the polls and human interest type articles are not as valuable to the Vine as the more serious articles.

Comments & Feedback

cactusflower18 I am so glad to hear that you believe this

Govt was not created to control, regulate and run our lives or businesses

So you are saying that women should have the right to get an abortion and that gays should have the right to get married, and adopt children. Because right now our government is regulating the last two and if the right has its way they will regulate the first thing I talked about. I am not trying to change the subject, I am trying to point out that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want government out of our lives for health care, you have to let things like I mentioned alone. Unless you mean to say the you only what the government not to regulate the things that you don't like and screw the rest of us....

I apologize for not getting back to you. I did not see your request until today, heck, I did not know this part existed. Newsvine is my first blog experience.

My answer (& I did go back and post it on the blog) is that I don't think govt has any business regulating any of the 3 things you mention and many more you didn't mention.

I have a question: Did I say something in a difference comment to make you think

Unless you mean to say the you only what the government not to regulate the things that you don't like and screw the rest of us

Army Reports Suicide Spike In May - CBS News

As an ex military person I am concerned that we are not doing enough for these brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day. We put them in harms way, which can be a very intense situation and then when they get home we expect them to instantly revert to normal.
