ELECTION

 PART 2

No matter what the election results are...

We must do our part to preserve and protect our "recreational community" way of life.

We all moved here, or most have, for a sloer paced relazed way of life. We have seen those few who have moved here from urban areas and have brought  that stressful way with them.   The increased "enforcement"  of covenants is part of it.  Killing trees and harrassment of RV folks and now lighting issues only makes more stress. Most of us who live here full time, have had enough stress in our lives, and most part timers come here to get a break from their stressful lives.   We must resist those who want to change our community to the city ways. We like it just fine the way it has been.  I suggest that those who want to chage our way of life...You have moved to the wrong place.  Go back to where you came from, and leave the rest of us alone.  Rlite are not welcome here. We were just fine before you came, and we will be just fine after you leave.

Nobody agrees that the budget surplus from 2020 needs to be refunded to us members? I'm surprised.

During a 60 Minutes interview just over a week ago, Senator Kamala Harris was asked whether she would bring a “socialist” perspective to a Biden administration. She laughed, as if it were an absurd question.

It’s not.

Whether she embraces the label “socialist” or not, Harris’s stated agenda and Senate record both reveal her to be positioned a long way to the left on matters of economic policy.

From health care to the environment to housing, Harris thinks the answer to almost every problem we face is simply more government and more taxpayer money — raising taxes and further indebting future generations in the process.

Vote wisely!!!

It's ironic that not long after Biden became the Dem. Presidential candidate, the pandemic hit the country. For those whose health insurance is based on their employment, many have lost those jobs and health coverage. Many poor folks still have no insurance, and the Trump admin. seeks to eliminate Affordable Care coverage, including pre-existing condition coverage, in the U.S. Supreme Court in a week or 2.

With about 8 million infected and 240,000 dead, there is a surge in the virus, killing 900 to a 1000 daily. It has never been more obvious how urgent it is that ALL Americans have healthcare coverage. In the world as we now must exist, we are only more safe if our fellow citizens are healthy, able to be tested for viral disease, and treated as national mandate allows.

All of the Democratic candidates stressed the urgency of establishing health coverage nationally for all, through one means or another. The Biden camp is entirely transparent as to what his platform includes, detailing their plan to provide a Medicare option for all who want it, and allowing private plans for those who prefer their current plans.

But the fact is, the Pandemic is changing the quality of care in established insurance plans. In-person visits are being cut back on, elective surgeries postponed, and specialized care requiring lengthy waits. This is because of runaway viral infections and the need for greater isolation of those with pre-existing conditions. It is also ironic, that once infected with Covid, we have a pre-exiting condition permanently.

I doubt that anyone has had a problem putting Federal checks in their bank accounts. Stimulus money is "Socialism". Social Security, Unemployment Ins., Food Stamps, Food Banks, all are socialistic in nature. Contributions by the populace are augmented by Federal funds, and distributed to the citizens by an equitable system of assistance.

Socialized medicine has many variation s around the world. Some work flawlessly, some less so - but it is widespread because the basic premiss is so sound. Your health is in jeopardy when your community is ill due to lack of healthcare, regardless how good YOUR insurance is.

Those who fear the very word "socialism" equate it with totalitarian regimes around the world, when it has no direct connection. When carefully administered, such programs work very well. The Biden agenda seeks to blend different views and approaches to find hybrid solutions. Economic experts have advised that a large stimulus such as the Congress passed last May, has been our best bet at avoiding financial calamity in the near future. The Heroes Act has sat on McConnell's desk since May, the Republicans unwilling to even consider it.

There is no evil Democratic Plan, no Cult of Blood-drinkers, no plan to end law enforcement in our communities. It's all a smoke screen created by Trump, Fox news, and the internet. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, all provide the same news daily, vetted daily for accuracy, never "fake". When errors are made, they are acknowledged without shame. So many Americans live in fear due to their distrust of real news, and embrace of phony conspiracy theories like Qanon. It's like we're going back to the Middle Ages.

Oh Steve! The virus started the minute the impeachment failed. I don’t consider social security a government handout! Paid into it every year to the maximum. It’s depleted because of the government and all that coms out of it now.
No way can you ever convince me that socialism is good.

To suggest that anyone intentionally infected the U.S.is ridiculous. You are truely a moron. That is so idiotic, and a big fat excuse to ignore Trump's DECISION to let it run rampant. You are so poorly informed by REAL news, and obviously steeped in internet bullsh*t. Yeah, all those boogiemen out there, no facts, just goblins. You are pitiful.

Obvious Steve you are the true Socialist Democrat, Social Security is not an entitlement as all you Democrats believe! I paid into that fund for 50 years and there is no way in hell Biden, Harris, Pelosi, AOC will ever take it away from me and give it to illegals!

Your hero Biden will be declared incompetent if he is elected President (HAHAHAHA) and Harris and Pelosi the two craziest politicians every to grace the American political system will be in power. AOC will then take crazy P’s place.

The only decent Democratic President in 60 years was JFK, to bad he didn’t get to actually make a difference!,.

Hope you have enjoyed all your prosperity and freedom, Socialism is the first step to Communism. Not that the Democrats will be elected, but that’s just for you to think about.

Steve Cox said...

You make no sense and don't know anything about anything. You live in fear, a product of the Trump daily hysteria. Trump has allowed a total disaster to grow to dangerous proportions. With expert advice, we MAY survive, following scientific knowledge, not Trump's gut. I'll let you hurry back to your paranoia about smart people.

Live long and prosper Nancy, Alexandria, Hillary, and other Democratic women in politics. The right wingers may call you names like "crazy" or "bitch", they put crosshairs on you, they may blatantly threaten your life, and they may try to kidnap and kill you, but stay strong!

So this is where we have come. These comments flipping out to these extremes. Cox got it right. But the name calling that follows takes the trolley off the tracks. I hope they get it that Biden will be the President for the Trumpers, as well. Just cool off and settle down. The Trumps won't be going away, either. They may continue their antics within the Republican Party to disembowel decency on a granular, local level.

It looks to me like the real story today is going to be how the winners and losers react tonight. So far it looks good that the "fine people" on both sides are restoring the fait in American that we are a nation of decent people. Hopefully, when this election is over, we can return and focus on returning to a decent normal. It appears to me that the people on all sides are against violence of any kind. The real win is going to be against the radical ob all sides.

Is anyone surprised by Mr. Eastern Washington Malley's views? Given always insulting tone isn't also no surprise he would be a Trumper?

I'm curious, did he serve in any of our armed forces? If so I wonder how he handled all that socialize medicine he received.

Newsflash, it's not Biden, Harris or Pelosi you have to worry about taking your SS, it's your boys who keep wanting to do away with it.

Time for a history lesson for him. Clinton came in with the country in a deficit and left with a surplus. Obama came in with huge deficits and left with a surplus. Obviously I judge a President differently then he does. He also gave people health coverage while Trump wants to take it away, DURING A PANDEMIC.

Lastly, when it comes to Communism it's YOUR boy who is kissing Putin's a$$.

And you are a fool if you think for one minute people who served our country get free medical care! My son has to pay his share of the premium to tri care after serving more than 20 years. My grandson who served in Afghanistan! Had no Insurance when he got out after his service! And he had to pay a penalty under Obama care as he couldn’t afford insurance and his employer didn’t provide. Benefits have changed dramatically

No one at the "Observer" would speak so disrespectfully. You may think you're observing, but you are just another anonymous cretan. Both Biden and Harris have impressive backgrounds and careers, something Trump cannot demonstrate or claim in fact. Unlike Trump, they don't have to make grandeous claims ("stable genius")or have a secret agenda. They are who they say they are.

Steve Cox said...

Trump is already calling the election a fraud, unable to grasp how elections work and are tabulated. Nearly every state has different rules, all set according to individual state conditions. Minnesota doesn't begin counting until the day after election. The prez sez the total needs to be announced by the day after. Since the Trump admin. yanked neighborhood mailboxes and high speed processing equipment, no one can predict timely delivery, so the only realistic criteria is postmark by election day. Military must depend on mails, always have - even during the Civil War.

I was talking about WHILE they were serving Einstein so you read it foolishly wrong. Everything you mentioned was AFTER they got out.

Sorry about your son and grandson but like it or not it's the Dem's who are trying to get health care for all while the Red's are taking it away. If they would have gotten what they wanted your boys wouldn't have gone through what they did.

And another fact for you to digest, Obama had to give up a bunch of coverage that he wanted to get the health care plan passed. If it wasn't for Pelosi he would have given up even more.

Looking forward to Biden. As a gov employee, it'll be pure gravy train. Unions will be back on top, and I can sit at my desk and watch youtube all day while the taxpayers pay me, fund my pension, and the union will protect me. Happy days are here again.

Steve Cox said...

A little behind the times 5:39. Blacks were not free until the Civil Rights Act was championed and passed by Lyndon Johnson about 1965. Johnson was JFK's vice-pres., and took over when Kennedy was assassinated. They were Democrats. I don't consider hatred an option and never speak in such terms.

Steve Cox said...

That's complete nonsense. You must think in such simplistic terms. Reality is not so predictably black and white, and what seems appropriate at one point in history is not necessarily appropriate at a different point.

To suggest that there is any controversy as to the wearing of medical-style masks is truely ridiculous. Airborne particles from standard human expiration spreads disease. Idiotic conspiracy spins on a simple proven preventive practice are a primary cause of the runaway Virus. This "you can't make me" attitude defies rational thinking. Over 100.000 people were diagnosed with new infections TODAY. Thanks Trump and anti-mask tards.

Anonymous said...

So, with everyone wearing masks, why have numbers gone up. And Steve, don't say Trump rallies as they show to have gone up in places where none have taken place. Additionally, why haven't deaths had a corresponding increase to cases? And, why are flu cases down 98%, could it be misreporting?

The problem is everyone is NOT wearing masks, that's why the numbers aren't going down. Just look at the White House and how it spread among them there.

And to Mr. Personality. It's George's blog so it is up to him concerning letting anonymous comments. If you have such a problem then YOU need to take your obnoxious attitude and go crawl back under that rock. Says a lot about you that you keep talking about your scrotum.
