Thanks for a great letter! It takes common sense and grit to face down drooling liberals who support these current health care bills. Make insurance available to the poor,but don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Greed and common sense are two different things.

What did you say doc? yadah ,yadah,yadah!

Great letter. Sums it up just right.

Read vsestini's post above. He gets it.

Personally I am for sending the troops to Afghanistan. If we do not draw a line and push back, they will be here before long. Radical Islam is the great threat. Islamists seek global domination, and have no plans to back off. There are some who do not realize this and sincerely think that if we withdraw from all the wars that we will be magically left in peace. I do not believe this. Islam is on the offensive. Muslims are now 1.6 billion strong. It is from this huge number that the extreme fringe emerges. Global domination is their objective. Your personal freedom and liberty,your life, is their target. Withdraw and seek peace at your own peril. There will be no stopping them.

The significant expansion of radical Islam in the world brings with it serious threats. Everywhere Muslim populations grow there are demands that local cultures change to accommodate fundamental Islamic doctrines. Fundamental Islam neither adapts to nor tolerates diversity. Radical Islam demands that those with differing beliefs conform, be silenced, or that the holders of these diverse values and beliefs ("infidels") be eliminated.

Worldwide there are about 1.6 billion Muslims; about 23% of the world's population or more than the population of Communist China. Muslims are spreading out. They are gaining populated footholds in Europe. Great Britain is experiencing serious challenges from radical Muslims to traditional British social, religious and cultural norms. There has been significant growth in the Islamic population in America also. An estimate of the Muslim population in America in 2009 is 7 million.

Radical Islamic jihad has targeted the United States, Israel and Western European nations for devastating attacks. Currently, America is engaged militarily with radical Islamic jihad in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Israel is in a perpetual military alert status against radical Islamic elements from Hamas,Hezbollah,and Iran.

The threat to the United States from radical Islamic jihad comes from both outside and from within. Terrorists who were imported radical Islamists were to blame for the devastation on 9/11. Danger also exists from within America in the form of individual converts to radical Islam, and the prospect of decentralized cells (al Qaida, Hezbollah), waiting for activation by individual Fatwas (calls to jihad) from bin Laden and other al Qaida leaders, or by state sponsors such as Iran.

One must be calculatingly realistic about the global threat from radical Islamic jihad. Only by being constantly vigilant can devastating attacks by these fanatics be avoided. As former President George W. Bush once warned, we must be right 100% of the time, whereas the terrorists must be right only once.

Wishy--washy letter.

So it's open season on Medicare Advantage users.
Why should these people millions of them, be torn away from their existing lifeline to Medicare. This is ludicrous. All of them should be grandfathered in to the Advantage program which should be mandated to continue for current recipients--Obama is full of it when he tells America everyone will be allowed to keep their existing Health care plan.
Who is this new breed of doctors who wantsto practice socialized healthcare? How much BS is that?

Great letter!!!!!!!
