I have been to San Antonio. There are more pressing issues. Get your heads out.

Why the GOP is Schizophrenic…Summary Of A 1993 Republican Health Reform Plan – Kaiser Health News
Summary Of A 1993 Republican Health Reform Plan – Kaiser Health News.
This was their plan in 1993. Universal Health Care. Read it and weep.
Tell me now how this isn’t about race. There is no other answer.
Seriously, I was alive in 93 and I don’t recall ONE person hoohawing about Health Care.
It is almost verbatim the PPACA. Derp! That the GOP would shit on Health Care Reform that they basically wrote belies mental illness on their part. Ironically, that would be covered for treatment were they to pass the bill Obama put forth OR the bill THEY put forth.
Boggles the mind.
Come on “conservatives’, hit me with your best shot.
This is what a professional dog trainer looks like.
Don’t be fooled by imposters! Anyone can say they are a professional. Look for credentials like Lauren Hays, M.S., C.A.A.B. 512.663.6364
She’s the real deal!

Please contact your Senator and make them explain their nays. Reiterate the message at the next poll.
We are in the 21st century. Let’s start acting like it. I will try to update this post with contact info for each Senator. I would appreciate hearing what you find.
I’m back! A blog of re-introduction.

Welcome back Joe! Don’t ever change.
Check out my friend’s blog. He is straight up the real deal. Nice work Joe!
Bam! That’s logic fo’ ya!
After battling with Atheists for what seems like months, I took my questions to the man. That is Dr. Glenn Joy. I don’t expect you to accept my adoration for him as credence but I think it is fair to note that, not only is he the best Logic instructor I ever had, he has been a Professor of Philosophy since 1965. His specialty is Logic but we had a heck of a time together studying Religion Vs. Science. (Best class ever!) He is my Annie Sullivan. I owe him a great deal and I am eternally grateful for his continued support on my journey. Dr. Joy is a joy, that is for sure.
At any rate, this is for my atheist friends. The irony about Atheism is that there are a variance of ways that people define it. Some say it is a disbelief, some say it is a lack of belief, others say they claim there is no god, while again others aver that they never make claims. Who is right?? Aye dios mio! Pun intended. Its wrecked out there. In the highest form of irony, each Atheist with each competitive view asserts their definition is the ULTIMATE one. Adorable!
Ok, shall we? The three following issues are what come up most often:
Some atheists contend that atheism is a “lack of belief” (which is harmless enough I suppose), but then make the broad leap to universality and so “deduce” that anyone who lacks a belief in god is an atheist. This is not a valid argument.
Secondly, some atheists contend that atheism is not a choice. Which is ironic because they usually do so after telling you about all the evidence they’ve weighed (weighing in itself is a choice, hello), yet still somehow attempt to conclude that despite having researched and pondered that no choice was made to OFFICIALLY call oneself a distinction that was not innate. Innerestin’.
And thirdly, and the only point I have ever tried to make, yet Atheists get distracted by argumentation, is that I just find it truly ironic that Atheists hate the idea of god but have molded their entire lives around disputing what they consider a myth. This is the argument for Conditional Dependence. They are verily dependent upon the concept (not existence, just the concept) of god in their very own Self Definitive Terminology. No one else finds that absurd? To define yourself, make a twitter account, FB, tumblr, just to defeat what you think is a myth? Is it that you can’t find any better way to help the world than arguing for your disbeliefs?
What a waste. Religion is a symptom of the problem. The problem is a failure in logic, until we address that, Religion is just a distraction and Atheism is part and parcel of that distraction.
And yet in another case of irony; Atheists use the same logical structuring in their arguments as Theists. The rub is that Atheists have attempted to hijack Logic and make it mean what ever they want it to. I feel sure it is because they have never attempted to reach outside their own consciousness and that signals to me a resignation of critical thinking. But don’t take my word for it. Here are 3 questions I posed to Dr. J. The same questions I have been posing to atheists for months. If any one atheist can dispute this, I will praise your name across the interwebs.
Another for your brain

Ok. This one is just for me.
Is it (can it be) logically supported to say:
It is possible for a belief to exist without a countering disbelief to exist yet impossible for a disbelief to exist without an initial belief?
And for giggles, what is your definition of Atheism.
Bonus: Do you think a disbelief and a lack of belief are the same?
Sorry, but I am needing some logic or my brain is going to collapse.
Hope you’re well. At your leisure, naturally. Have a great day!

Hi,
I’m giving a logic exam as I write.
People have believed in the external world even when there were no idealists.
Since it is an “ism” I think it involves the actual disbelief in god/gods. Babies aren’t atheists.
People can lack a belief in the existence of other galaxies without disbelieving their existence.

I am most grateful. Logic, indeed is my religion! Praise Venn!

Morality.
This is a response to a huffpo thread that was moderated (surprise) but fortunately I copied it. It best represents a small part of my views on the illegitimate use of the Bible as a substitute for personal responsibility.
My morality does not come from a 2000 year old news report. When I determine what is right, it is by critical thinking that utilizes awareness, philosophy, science and compassion as a common sense. I cannot refute [your] quotes because you obviously wish to leave the burden of your choices and their ramifications at someone else’s door. I don’t do that. I own my mistakes. I do not praise or blame a book for my failings. So I am sorry, but your inability to express your moral system without the use of a guide written 2000 years ago precludes us from having any rational discussion on the matter of right and wrong in this Current Era. I shan’t waste another moment of your time.
St. Thomas Aquinas argued that the greatest gift God every gave humans was the Gift of Reason. I find it not only a shame, but the ultimate disgrace to God when humans disregard Reason in pursuit of segregation and intolerance. But that is between you and your God. Best of luck.”
