"Who is your employer's disability carrier ?" Same one that insures the teachers and other publicly paid employees in Illinois.


Does your disability policy have an "own occupation" or "any occupation" definition of disability ? That I do not know. What does it mean?

Does raising taxes actually bring in more revenue? I've read that over the past 30 or 40 years tax revenue has been around 18% of GDP. That is through tax hikes and tax cuts. So IMO the problem is our free spending government, for whatever program, the war, SS, earmarks, whatever needs to be cut.


If we dramatically increase the size of gov.

What many Christians see and/or think when they think Democratic Party is:

- removing the ten commandments from a courthouse


- forbidding a creche on the town common


- supporting gay marriage


- supporting abortion


- promoting birth control in schools


- taking "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance


etc., etc., etc. (sorry, I watched the King & I the other night...)


Good post - I think you're right about the perception.


For myself, the separation of church and state is one of the very basic things that keeps us safe and free.


Pilgrims left England because of religious persecution.

fleur, you can resent it if you want, but, for large numbers of self-professed Christians in large parts of the country, those positions are identified with Democrats.
