Wayne, sounds like you know alot about drug dealers, prostitutes, bums and queers. What keeps you close to home with your long-suffering wife, while you color your hair, put on her lipstick, try on her wigs, lift your chin and wait for her demise just so you can get out there in the “real world?”

lillymouse, “Mr.” Levy’s posts are not even worthy of your consideration. A wise one once said, “You cannot argue with ignorance.”

I hear nothing here but Rush Limbaugh and America Live being replayed . . . all because Mr. Levy (and I use that term of respect reservedly) can’t think or research things on “his” own but prefers to have his facts “spoon-fed” to him.

Unions are big enough that they can stand on their own. We are already forced to pay them from our paychecks. Why must we also pay a couple of CEO’s from our taxes also?

Because I will receive the money from my PERA Pension, I will not receive any of the SS that that I paid prior to becoming a teacher. Many teachers work in the private sector during the summer and pay into Social Security, but will not receive the benefit. There is a calculation that can be done to determine if you are eligable to receive Social Security, but it is almost impossible to receive both the Pension and Social security. I don’t know of anyone who has received both. As I say the calculation makes it pretty much impossible. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but that is the way it is.

IS THIS GLEN BECK

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

you either live under a rock or you are another fox news brain washed tea bagger that cares for no one but yourself. capitolism is not just for the rich.

then they came for the military veterans and active servicemen…

Alan, Alan, Alan. I glean information from myriad sources. Unlike, apparently, you. You still haven’t researched anything, apparently. Really, the information isn’t THAT difficult to find. nnUnless you actually want to enter into a real discussion instead of reiterating insults and one-liners, responding to you any further is wasting precious minutes of my life, and, unfortunately, I’ve wasted enough of it on you.nnIf you’re that entrenched in the Fox/Limbaugh & friends “fair and balanced” media, you’re simply way too deep for me to waste my time trying to dig you out. It’s an impossible chore. It’s very sad, really, because there are truly valid discussions to be had on how to solve the country’s problems and it’s impossible to have an intelligent discussion about them with someone like you who just wants to cling to simplistic one-liner right wing talking points with no deep thinking involved.nnYou’ll never even have a clue.nnBye.

Fox News reported that Kevin Jennings, an Assistant Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Education, was informed by a 15 year old boy that he was having sexual encounters with older men. Jennings didn’t report this conversation, and Fox News proceeds to harp on how much of a tool he is. What they didn’t bother to find out is that the kid wasn’t 15, he was above the age of consent.n n nIn March 2009, Fox News made it seem as of Joe Biden was parroting the line that made John McCain look so out of touch during the campaign to try to inject false hope into the ailing economy. In fact, Biden never said that “the fundamentals of the economy are strong” in March. That clip of Biden was actually from the campaign and selectively edited to seem more recent.n n nFox News edits Obama’s statements makes it seem as if he wants health care “like in the European countries.”nThis is not what he says at all, he repeats a question he is asked and goes on to say that it is not what he wants.n n nIn an April 2009, the Fox News show America’s Newsroom made the claim that Obama’s $3.6 trillion budget is 4x bigger than Bush’s costliest plan. This isn’t true at all. Bush’s budgets for 2009 and 2008 were $3.1 and $2.9 trillion respectively.n n nMaybe you remember this one from the campaign. The New York Times wrote an article that Fox didn’t like, so they Photoshopped images of New York Times editor Steven Reddicliffe and reporter Jacques Steinberg to make them look ugly and passed it along as news.n n nWhen the 9/12 Tea Party march on DC was being reported by Fox News, the numbers they were parroting were massive: 1.5 million, maybe 1.7 million. In fact, other news organizations were putting the number between 60,000 and 70,000, which was about the size of the National Equality March a few weeks later. Fox News didn’t really talk about that one too much. Too many gay people.n n nFox News and the New York Post reported completely unsubstantiated rumors that Obama was raised in a Muslim madrasah. Naturally the story turned out to be a half-truth that Fox News used to its advantage. nnSource: Google search: “Top ten fox news lies” n nNot good enough for you? Fine, just go to Youtube and type in “Fox News”, hell you don’t even need to add the word “lies”. The video evidence is right, freakin’, there! When they lie, they record and broadcast it themselves, for crying out loud!

Well, I guess you decided not to take my advice and educate yourself and research topics yourself and reply again with the same right wing talking points without even bothering to think for yourself. A true patriotic American would put the time in to find out what’s really going on. nnWow – Obama’s destroying the dollar? Where have YOU been for years and years? The dollar’s been declining for a VERY long time. You need to pay a little bit of attention to what’s been going on, Alan, and work on your memory retention.nnInsurance companies invented death panels, Alan. And now the state of Arizona is helping them along with their work. Don’t shove it off on Obama.nnGuess you haven’t been paying attention to your health insurance premiums that have steadily risen over the years with reduced benefits – ya, that was sustainable. And have you REALLY forgotten the world economy was imploding during Bush’s watch? What thinking individual expects everything to be coming up roses just two years after almost sliding into a depression?nnAnd the fetuses? You’re the one who’s the type of person who stops caring about them the second they pop out of the womb – you’ll support cutting off aid to lower income pregnant women for their well-care, early education intervention for children who are less well-off, lunch programs for the same children, intervention programs for domestic abuse, after-school programs, student loans for higher education, and all the other programs meant to give children who are born with less of a chance to live a better life. And then you’ll b—– about people having children that you have to help financially with. Make up your mind, Alan. I actually support a woman’s right to choose – NO ONE knows and understands her circumstances better than she does. I also just as fervently support programs which help the children that are in this world as much as possible to give them a chance at the best life possible. And I even *gasp* support programs that will help adults, who truly need a helping hand and actually USED to be children, Alan, so they can make a better life for themselves also, and contribute as much and positively to society as possible.nnGeez, Alan, READ, LISTEN, RESEARCH – look for yourself – don’t be spoon-fed by Fox & friends & Limbaugh & friends – I know it’s much, much easier for you, but, really, put a little effort into it.

Alan, Alan, Alan, as with just about everything else you’ve posted on here, your “GUESS” is Wrong. nnn nHow can one tell they lie? It’s really quite simple. One only needs to watch/listen to the propaganda they put out or give a platform to, then go out and look at the world with one’s own eyes. n n”Fair and Balanced” what a joke – what a sick, sad, joke!

I’m not doing your work for you, Alan – being the conservative you are, you should appreciate that you have to do the work yourself. Take the time and look it up yourself. If you do it right, you’ll enlighten yourself on a lot of other issues that you are no doubt wrong about.

I left Vietnam and the active Army in June 1969. I later joined the PA Army National Guard. I was forced to take early retirement in 2000 due to disability. I served in Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm (did not end up going to Iraq for that one).nnI checked out Levy. He usually hangs out on Twitter. All his comments to me were nothing but copies of things he said on Twitter. Twitter with a limit of 140 characters is the proper forum for his thoughts.nnYou would probably have been far up northin the Marines or Camron Bay for the Navy. I was with the First Infantry Division right up along the Cambodian border north west of Saigon. Luckily I was at a brigade headquarters. We got rocket or mortar attacks almost every night. They never wanted to hit my small platoon of signalmen but we were always right across the road from something they wanted to blow up. They would walk the rounds right through us. One night they did blow up a 50,000 gallon tank of aviation fuel right across the road from our tents. That was fun. It burned for a week.nnThank for all your time (a lot more than I managed). I am you got home safe.

I thank you SgtCedar. I was in the Marines then later in the Navy. Discharged in ’69. Retired from IBT in 2006 w/ 30 years.We could profess pride in service to our country & pride in working in a union until hell freezes over, but Mr. Levy’s only form of entertainment is probably stirring the pot on this web page or watching Rush & Glen. Ignore him.
