Wow! I didn't see the Glenn Beck show that prompted Donuel to launch this thread, but he sure (Glenn not Donuel) struck a chord didn't he.

George P.: I don't know you. You don't know me. Yet you are emboldened to pose some very personal questions that one could consider none of your business. My private beliefs, my private listening habits, etc. are just that! Personal.

However, since you seem to be such a likable fellow, I will accommodate you with a reply to each of your intrusive questions:

"Do you listen to Rush Limbaugh and believe/agree with what he says?
Answer: Yes, I listen to Rush, and have done so for about the past ten years. If I am in the car and his program is on, I likely am listening to him. As to believing or agreeing with what he says, I know of no one that I believe EVERYTHING he/she says, but I think it would be fair to say I agree with probably 95% of what he says.

"Do you think Obama was born in the United States?"
Answer: I haven't the foggiest idea. It is beyond me why he has not produced an acceptable birth certificate that would put this idea to rest one way or the other. The same with his University records.

"Do you think the Obama administration resembles Nazi Germany.
Answer: No. I do believe that the president would favor converting the United States to socialism from the representative republic which it is now though.

"Do you think Universal Health Care is socialism?"
Answer: Yes.
"Medicare?", No. Medicare is a federal program that is not available to the whole population of the U.S. until he/she reaches the age of 65, and even then, the citizen must have participated in funding the program during their working years. Otherwise, they are not eligible.
"Fire Department?" (That's kind of a reach isn't it?) Answer: No.

"Do you think it is appropriate that the richest nation on earth has millions of people who cannot afford to go to a doctor?"
Answer: No one in the United States may legally be turned away from America's hospital emergency room without receiving care (not FREE care though)for illness, injury or any other malady that requires treatment.

I do realize what you are getting at with your last question, though. Am I so heartless that I rejoice that some of my fellow citizens cannot afford health insurance.
Answer: No, I do not rejoice. I wish they could afford health insurance.

I also wish that I owned a summer home in Ireland, or maybe Scotland, or even Colorado. I also wish that everyone else could afford one too. I wish that all diseases in the world could be eradicated, that there never would be another war, oh so many other things.

There, I think I have addressed your questions. Now that we know each other so well, it's my turn.

Did you have sex with your wife last night? Your girl friend? Your partner? Your boy friend?

Did you attend church last Sunday? If so, did you believe everything that was said from the pulpit?

Have you ever told a lie?

Have you ever cheated on your wife? Girlfriend? Boyfriend?

Do you think you will go to heaven when you die?

There, I think that about does it. I'd ask more but it's time for me to leave for the YMCA to walk the treadmill. Yep, you're right, it's time for the Rush Limbaugh show on radio. I always listen to Rush while walking the treadmill. He won't be there today, though, but Mark Stein is filling in and I like him too!
