Let's move on now to more important things. Such as the upcoming vote on the stimulus package. I'm hoping for the best but truthfully I'm a cynic and am expecting the worst.. I agree.

And that accent..ha, yeah, it got me too. And every other American woman he runs into here! ha! Talk about an ego booster..he can be insufferable! ha! We have to stop this and stay on message or we might get a wrist snap from Steve...Sorry Steve, I will behave...=:-C We might be calling two different things “crackers”

And I loved her accent. But then again I've always liked the sound of English girls when they talk. Not the thick cockney but the softer accents. Swedish girls sound cute too when they speak English.

When I was stationed in Germany over twenty years ago my wife and I met a very friendly English woman who invited us to her house for Christmas Eve. It was there that I got to experience traditional English Christmas customs. Such as sausage pastries, mincemeat pies, Christmas crackers, and setting out milk and cookies for Father Christmas. There is definitely something to be said for genuine English hospitality. As for England being transformed by an influx of ungrateful foreigners it's pretty much the same all across Europe from what I hear. My wife's relatives in Sweden complain about the spike in crime in their once quiet corner of the world. And all this was brought about by the same influx of violent middle eastern immigrants. They say the city of Malmo is almost unbearable to live in because of the violent gangs of non-Swedes. As each Swede must get back in touch with their inner viking spirit and take their country back, so too must the Brits. As the combative talk show host Michael Savage once said, "Only the soccer thug can save England." It's sad that it'll have to come to this but sometimes for an indigenous people to survive they have go out and start busting some heads to make the unruly behave or either drive them from their shores in order to reclaim their land and culture. Okay, I've rambled and vented enough. Next time I promise not to be so long winded. Or worded. jobeth, thanks for the reply.

England and the true English are beautiful. I just get sick over what is happening there with the huge middle eastern influx. Hard to get the historic feel of a beautiful old castle or the Tower of London when you are surrounded by half the middle east. Ahh, but such is "progress" (?). (sarcasm) @ Gauge,

Just curious that's all. My late father's side was from a place I think they called Northumbria. I've always wanted to see the land of my father's heritage. But he also had a bit of Irish and Scott in him as well. A mixed lot as the English would say. I suppose the end of Britain as we know it will come when they tear down Lord Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square. jobeth, I forgot to ask, what part of England is your husband’s family from?

But then after spending most of my life dealing with the left I've now come to realize it's all about power. Socialized medicine is such a crock! If it's the best there is to have then why did Fidel Castro have his medical situation diagnosed and operated on by Spanish doctors and not those from Cuba? I would recommend if any of you can, to get your hands on the book 'Mig Pilot', it's an autobiography by former Soviet pilot Victor Belenko who defected to the west in a Mig-25 jet. Of the many passages he writes of life in the former Soviet Union, one is about the condition of socialized medicine. To be brief, he wrote of a situation in which patients with political connections or affluence were seen ahead of other patients of the working class. When the lesser patients complained about the preferential treatment and that everyone was supposed to be equal in the Soviet society, the hospital staff merely ignored the remarks. So as a young child Victor knew that something was definitely wrong with the Soviet system. Too bad the book isn't required reading. But knowing how the lefties think, they'd have the book banned because it shatters all the lofty ideals they hold dear and wish to implement.

That seems to be a favorite there...really. And perhaps a "Chip Buttie" (sp?) as my husband loves. That consists of french fries on bread as a sandwich! Talk about carbs! =:-P ! Nasty ol' steak...(grin) On the blog area of this story in the Guardian (see link above) one guy, who thinks meatless hospital meals are fine and dandy, reminds folks that they can go back to eating baked beans on bread for a tasty meal.

If he doesn't feel he can do that perhaps he or others have another idea how we can work together. Thanks John,

I'll do that. 13 Gauge Range, we are already unfortunately on a slippery slope with the new legislation giving kids (kids up to 30 years old??) free health care. It looks like it's going to pass through no matter what we do. So eventually free health care may happen in our lifetime, it will just happen bit by bit. This is the way Obama did things in Illinois, through incrementing a small piece of legislation every so often. So we can count on the fact that he will do the same things as president.

And will our country not be far behind? While I agree that our health care could be improved, it's still light years ahead of any form of socialized medicine. This past November (Thanksgiving week), my mother went in for a routine checkup and the doctors found that she had arterial blockage of a serious nature. On that same day they admitted her for quadruple bypass surgery. The next day they operated on her and within two days she was up and about. She's recovered very well and although she missed Thanksgiving she surprised us all on Christmas day at dinnertime by announcing her engagement (She'll be seventy soon), my father passed away three years earlier. I credit her strong will to live but also our very fine system of medical care. Incidentally, our family is not of great financial means but the health care we pay for provides great care. I dread the thought of our country going the way of socialized health care. May it never happen in anyone's lifetime. How did the once mighty British empire lose its way?
