If I went over the Bret Baier interview with the Ayatollah with a fine-toothed comb, I could probably get a few dozen posts just from the resulting fisking.
But I have neither the time, nor the patience, nor even the attention span for that  (Hey, maybe that’s the ADHD kicking in.  Is that a pre-existing condition?)  So I’m going to take one part of it, and rip it to shreds.  (The transcript of it is here, BTW.)
I’ve got the exact same e-mails, that I could show you, that talk about why haven’t we done something to make sure that I, a small business person, am getting as good a deal as members of Congress are getting, and don’t have my insurance rates jacked up 40 percent? Why is it that I, a mother with a child with a preexisting condition, still can’t get insurance?
Y’know, I’m getting pretty damned tired of this “oh, I’ve got a pre-existing condition I can’t get insurance” whine I keep hearing.
It’s bullshit.  And I’m living proof of it.
As you know, Denizens – that is, if you’re not a member of the Uninitiated™ – I contracted type-II diabetes in 1995.  It’s my death sentence – at some point, I will die from some medical complication that can be traced back to this disease.  It’s about as pre-existing a condition as you can possible get – at least, since 1995.
Since I became a diabetic, I have changed jobs five times.  Four of those changes involved companies which offered health insurance to its employees.  (The fifth one was the preceding one from what I have now, and that was as the next step up from being a pure contractor – no bennies whatsoever.)
I have never  had any problem getting health coverage.  Ever.
Nor do I think I’m the exception – otherwise, why have I never even been called for a pre-coverage physical?
Now maybe there are some  medical maladies which insurance companies won’t cover pre-existing – but then, insurance companies are businesses, too.  They have to make money, just like the companies for which you & I slave our asses off.
So you’ll excuse me if I think the meme about “pre-existing conditions” is nothing but a bunch of hooey.  At least partially, anyway.
As some of you may know, I waste more time than I should in one of the Limbaugh forums on Usenet. In the last week, I have noticed something very interesting.
All of a sudden, there are a slew of Liberals trying to out evangelical the conservative Christians. Of course, their version of the faith looks very little like the faith in which I hope to be ordained one day. Apparently the new tactic is to try and confuse the average Christian into thinking that they are the real deal, and that left wing liberal theology is actually sound, orthodox Christianity.
Unfortunately, the level of biblical knowledge in our nation is such that they will probably have some success.
