More symptoms of insanity on the American right

[fpb]

In yesterday's American Thinker, a man with the Italian name of Bonelli wrote the following, extremely offensive statement:

The United States is different from most other countries in many ways. One unique aspect of our country is that our elected officials, officers of the court, and the military, all pledge their allegiance to the Constitution and not to an office, individual or party. This assures continuity of the ideals set forth by the founders.

As an Italian citizen, I have personally sworn to defend the Constitution of my country when I served in the Italian army. The presumption involved in this ignorant display of insular arrogance is an insult to every constitutional government in the world.

My great-aunt did not have the money for the testing she needed. While undergoing treatment the doctor found the money for her, after she agreed to actually go in and have tests run. Is your friend not part of any faith community that she could go to?

No, she isn't.

That's encouraging at least. Maybe if my friend finds a more helpful doctor. By all accounts the ones she's seen up to this point have had a more "revolving door" approach to their patients...

You can also contact the local Knights of Columbus. They may be able to help, or point you in the right direction.
