i looked at the info on webmd and i listened and read the info suggested by sas... i feel dr. mercola is much more thorough in his explanation of the real threat of the swine flu and the vaccine. it's true, i myself am not a doctor, but when i am a critical thinker and an analytical thinker! everyone should be, govt info has to be taken for what it's worth and often with a grain of salt.

I also just found out that Merck developed a swine flu vaccine 5 years ago!!! This is why we need health care reform. You cant make money in curing something only in treating it! Our wellfare shouldnt be a commodity. They knew this was coming, what possible reason is there a sortage of the vaccine, and why after 5 years has no testing been done on it, go be a guinea pig if you want.

In a year of job losses, foreclosures and bag lunches, Americans have spent record-breaking amounts of money on guns and ammunition. The most obvious sign of their demand: empty ammunition shelves.

I think most of us are simply trying to make ends meet, provide for our families, hold on to our property that we worked hard for, strive to get a raise, you know - common every day things. Feel free to continue stockpiling weapons for that "Revolution". That is your right. But let me add some advice... seek mental health help.

"It was already a political truism that Democrats prompt sales of both guns and ammo. The U.S. government taxes both to support wildlife conservation, and those receipts jumped after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 and after Democrats retook Congress in 2006. "

John, no kind of ammo will protect me from any missile. Who intends to shoot one at me?

Beth, the talk of revolution is serious in my 'neck of the woods'. There are even training camps for the revolutionists. IDK where they are because I'm not one of them. And, in fact, the closer we get to a healthcare bill, the less I hear about the plans. Everybody who knows me also knows that I am against a civil war. BUT, they also know that I'm a gun owner and will have a level playing field if they knock down my door.

OK, I just looked at that website Tina posted and I am truly frightened for the future of this country. One of the women has posted, "Bring on the violence" - helpful, I thought, since it's against her own countrymen and women. Maybe we're all too removed from the horror and death of the Civil War to realize that's the last place we need to return to.

Don't panic, Trina. Tina's "neck of the woods" isn't a neck. It's clearly another anatomical part entirely. Fortunately, it isn't the whole of the US or even a majority component. It's revolting to look at and could do damage before it totally dies out, but the good news is, it is dying out.

I don't believe that a civil war could ever truly manifest again in the United States. Sure we have factions, some of them even violent, but our country is just too large in population and size for a true civil war to take place. It's possible that something could happen in a portion of the country, but believe me the national guard and armed forces would be there immediately. Does anyone honestly think that the US military would let another civil war take place?

Hate groups always increase when the Republicans are out of power. Read the report about the rise of militia groups during Clinton's presidency and now Obama's on the Southern Poverty Law center's website. http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=1092
It's scary to see a militia group on Facebook. So much ignorance in one place. ... See MoreBoggles my mind. People who are drawn to that sort of conspiracy drama should take a day to do some soul searching as to why they feel a need to be followers of hatemongers.

Thanks for the link, Darlene. I'm copying a piece of it in case someone doesn't have time to read all of it:

They're back. Almost a decade after largely disappearing from public view, right-wing militias, ideologically driven tax defiers and sovereign citizens are appearing in large numbers around the country. "Paper terrorism" — the use of property liens and citizens' "courts" to harass enemies — is on the rise. And once-popular militia conspiracy theories are making the rounds again, this time accompanied by nativist theories about secret Mexican plans to "reconquer" the American Southwest. One law enforcement agency has found 50 new militia training groups — one of them made up of present and former police officers and soldiers. Authorities around the country are reporting a worrying uptick in Patriot activities and propaganda. "This is the most significant growth we've seen in 10 to 12 years," says one. "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."

According to the map, there are 20 KNOWN militia groups in my state. I know that there are more that are not known about. The article also backs up what I said in the beginning: ... See More

But militia training events, huge numbers of which are now viewable on YouTube videos, are spreading. One federal agency estimates that 50 new militia training groups have sprung up in less than two years. Sales of guns and ammunition have skyrocketed amid fears of new gun control laws, much as they did in the 1990s.

And they call themselves "The Christian Right" and "The Party of Family Values." How quickly the words of our Lord Jesus Christ are forgotten when they choose to listen and embrace ignorance from the likes of Rush Limbo a Bill O the Clown and Glen Shreck. The previous president sent us to war on fabricated lies, sank this economy to incredible lows... See More, gave no bid contracts to their friends at haliburton with record profits including exxon mobil, and they want to blame OUR NEW PRESIDENT who's been in office for nine months for their hardships.The fear and hate mongerers called republicans don't want you to look at them and their lies, but would rather OUTRIGHT LIE about all the good OUR PRESIDENT is trying to do for our country. BE REAL AMERICANS and cut the crap already. SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT, BE PATRIOTIC and stop buying into the negative rhetoric that republicans are poisoning you with. republicans are about amassing profit and not about AMERICAN PEOPLE. BARACK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT. HE'S BLACK. HE DID NOT SEND US OFF TO WAR. HE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION OF OUR ECONOMY BUT HE'S TRYING TO IMPROVE FOR EVERY AMERICAN. You can own as many guns and bullets as you want. If you pull the trigger, it better be for something better than,"They said it would come to this." They being the idiots who want to continue stealing our taxpayer dollars...the republicans.

Some people still consider it controversial. Right-wingers say it restricts freedom of speech because "one man's proud statement is another man's hate speech." I got that in my e-mail inbox the other day.

Having worked for two hmo's I can say that they don't care one iota for your well being. Only that you continue paying for something you will never get. I've recieved numerous calls from seniors, some war vets, having to make the chooice between groceries and medicine because their health insurance company stripped them of their benefits, their ... See Moremedicines and raised their premiums and copays. As my supervisor said to me on several occasions, "We want members, NOT patients. It may be immoral, but it's legal". For three years insurance employees were denied a raise because of "profit losses" but the president got a 28 million dollar bonus for Christmas. We don't have a "healthcare system", we have a "healthcare market". We are the only industrialized nation without healthcare for all it's citizens. The WHO puts us at 46 after Costa Rica in mortality rate. 62% of ALL PERSONAL BANKRUPCIES are a direct result of healthcare debt. These moronic fools who listen to O'Reilly, Limbo, and Beck are simply sheep who want to make the black man who is OUR PRESIDENT the sole reason for our country's present state. IT"S RACIST. The bigotry these evil people spew is beyond vile. If you're AMERICAN THEN SUPPORT YOUR PRESIDENT like when dubya was in office. You were "unAmerican" and "unpatriotic" if you said anything against Bush or Cheney. APPLY THE SAME DAMN STANDARD NOW AND BE AMERICAN...FOR ALL AMERICANS.
