Mr. Krinkle's Ghost
Why is beheading so popular amoung the Mexican drug cartels?
Calderon has struggled to maintain support for a fight that was hugely popular when he first deployed tens of thousands of soldiers and federal police to drug-cartel strongholds across the country in late 2006.
Since then, gang violence has become more shocking, with beheaded bodies hung from bridges and police discovering pits filled with dozens of slain cartel victims. Gangs have employed warfare tactics previously unseen in Mexico, including car bombs and blockades in front of police stations and army garrisons.

12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy are the same people who scream bloody murder over a nativity scene in the town square?
Rabidly defending the Mosque, Muslim community center or whatever, just a stones throw from Ground Zero?
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying they do not have the right to build the Mosque. I simply believe that by building it they are showing that they have little or no regard for the families of those who were murdered.
It also appears that those who are defending the Mosque are misrepresenting the viewpoint of those of us don't like the Mosque's location when they infer we are contradicting the first amendment. No one is saying that they don't have the right to do with their property whatever they wish it is just they are doing the wrong and insensitive thing with their property and will in no way promote good will by doing so.

In getting the resources and taking action needed to mitigate damage done by the oil spill.

4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre those who paint conservatives as greedy unaware that Conservatives give more to charity than Liberals?
Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).
-- People who reject the idea that "government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality" give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition.

14 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoGiven the following, is it not inevitable that Obamacare's cost will be measured in lost lives of the elderly?
In 2011: cuts begin for Medicare Advantage; the elderly are no longer allowed to use Health Care Account (FSA, HSA, HRA, Archer MSA) distributions for over-the-counter medicine; Medicare cuts to home health begin; wealthier seniors begin paying higher Part D premiums (not indexed for inflation in Parts B/D); new Medicare cuts to long-term care hospitals begin in July; Medicare reimbursement will be cut when seniors use diagnostic imaging like MRIs, CT scans, etc., and cuts begin for ambulance services, ASCs, diagnostic labs, and durable medical equipment.
And, additional Medicare cuts to hospitals and to nursing homes and inpatient rehab facilities begin after October, along with cuts for dialysis treatment; Medicare will reduce spending by using an HMO-like coordinated care model; new Medicare cuts to inpatient psych hospitals begin in July; Medicare cuts to hospice begin in fiscal 2013, accompanied by cuts to hospitals that treat low-income seniors. In 2014 more Medicare cuts to home health begin.
Or do you believe that the elderly will still recieve the life extending services even after Obama quits paying for them?

3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy are the Democrat lawmakers afraid of trial lawyers?
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, a medical doctor who served as governor of Vermont, said at a town hall meeting on Tuesday night that Democrats in Congress did not include tort reform in the health care bill because they were fearful of “taking on” the trial lawyers.
“This is the answer from a doctor and a politician,” said Dean. “Here is why tort reform is not in the bill. When you go to pass a really enormous bill like that the more stuff you put in, the more enemies you make, right? And the reason why tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not want to take on the trial lawyers in addition to everybody else they were taking on, and that is the plain and simple truth. Now, that’s the truth.”
