As I see reflections on the debate- I saw a man come out of a coma |
|
Give this some thought.
I had a young guy who was a motorcycle accident victim this weekend. He's been in the hospital on a ventillator for a LONG time. We've finally weaned him off the ventillator. I told him "When the nice people leave(his grandparents), I'll tell you a dirty joke"
He smiled. His first....but not his last.
This could be anyone's kid. Vote Democratic,folks.Don't let them win.

After last nights debate, how anyone could let one of those people near the WH with a clear conscious is beyond me.
I would've been dead at 28-years old if those people in the crowd had their way. Instead I'm alive and a tax paying, job creating and product consuming part of society.

The fools who cheered and were cheered last night would see things differently in that hospital waiting area.....

6. it's sad how one's perspective changes when they become those they decry |
|
Any of us could be out of work,sick or poor.
They hate when Jesus says itlike it is.
Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

8. "Compassionate conservatives". What bullshit. |
|
"Kinder, gentler". "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps". What bullshit.
I too have been in intensive care, working on a young motorcycle accident patient. And emergency rooms. There is no place for the rugged individual, when people need help.
I hate these people. Yet I know forgiveness is the only thing that will keep me from destroying myself, and turning into one of the likes of them.
