Folks, it’s not a matter of being “fair” to the pork industry – it’s a matter of not destroying it completely!

Look, my screen name is “Oink.” We have pigs. My kids show pigs in 4-H. My father raised market hogs for DECADES and he never EVER once became sick with the flu thanks to catching it from a pig. NEVER.

But, people CAN catch the flu from swine. It IS possible. As you all know (all INFORMED folks), the issue of catching the flu from a pig with the flu is not new. What is new is the HUMAN TO HUMAN transmission. Culling (killing) pigs is not the answer. The answer would be for the US to not allow folks in from Mexico. That’s where the problem started. It’s fine if people want to go to Mexico, but it will be a different story if they want to come back.

Parents brought to US to seek medical treatment.

Well that’ll be one less worry if the Democrats rationed health care plan is instituted – our medical services will become as sub-par as theirs, so they’ll all stay home.

This flu may become a lot worse…if it mutates. I think that is what is feared in this one. Because it was transmitted from swine to human and now from human to human, it seems to be a very virulent virus. The flu epidemic of 1918 started as something that was mild and not taken seriously. By late summer that year, it mutated. My Dad’s little five-year-old sister died in November 1918 of the flu. Granted, they didn’t know as much about these things as we do, and we now have antibiotics to treat the pneumonia. But we have to take this seriously. Just don’t let it take our eyes off the real stuff going on in DC…that is what they want!

If JanNo is serious about shooting down false labels, she ought to stop the Democratic Party from using its name. Stop them, too, from the bastardization of the words “liberal” and “progressive.”

We could, after the above, revert to using them in their correct meaning and context.

They can use Obamanation. At least as a fairly new word, its import is pretty clear: as a group, members are willing to ignore everything they have learned from history so they can show the world the U.S.A. have a black president, nevermind his criminal past, his inexperience, and his (rotten) personal agenda.
