    ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) - A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.
    Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.
    “I don’t think she believes me yet,“ he told the Kingsport Times-News for a story to be published Tuesday. “It’s going to take some more convincing.“
    Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to “to get the word out” about the campaign.
    “I took one for the cause,“ he said. “I can’t give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little.“

Still cant answer the question? What does this make? 5 replies and no answer? Typical. You can personally attack me-who cares- as you are a anonymous coward and the readers are clear personal attacks are all you have.
Going back to my first comment - Hilarious!

And I will continue to hold my anonymity, otherwise I may receive some “teddy Turds” user comments, How was the Surgery Kilo?

I did not realize you were in the top bracket of incomes.

You try to skew what I have said, acting as if a single person will be paying all of this.
Working hard and Prospering? Did I ever state one should sit and do nothing as the Government takes care of you? The hard work provided by labor demands a return, keeping both a living wage and healthcare. You continually attempt to strawman my arguments, saying I wish for extremist socialism (Which if you can do this thing called attentive reading, you’d have noticed I CLEARLY disagreed upon) , and fail, again, continually.

Is not the Goal of Government the protection and continual well being of it’s citizens?

Now you want to talk about medicare? Again avoiding the question of the topic YOU introduced - Health care.
Another example of how anonymity is hilarious. You made two replies, neither addressing the subject you introduced - health care.
You know with all your education and face to face talk B/S, you sure avoid the obvious.
Again, why should the fruits of my education and labor support those who cant support themselves?
You are a fool and a liar if you think Smith was always right.  He has been proved wrong many times and called a Socialist for his beliefs. You learned that in econ 101 I am sure.
Whats wrong? Scared of the Dick Cheney or Bill Gates question?
We are capitalists. Working hard and prospering built this nation, not waiting for the government to supply our needs. It is clear you want big government and wealth redistribution - socialism. I will stick with what our founding fathers had in mind thank you. It is plainly written in the constitution.

Profit is unpaid labor, this is true. The tendencies for monopolies and businesses in general to focus purely on profit, this is true. The belief that Wealth held by a few powerful people is a horrid idea (Even the father of Modern Capitalism and free Markets was in agreement with this.)is true.

You ask for a name to validate my arguments, when it is clear, that they have validated themselves.

Where in the constitution does it state we should have medicare, where in the constitution does it state that we should have a firedepartment, where in the constitution does it state we should have free public education.

The Constitution is a basis for our country, not a stone cold doctrine not to be deviated from in the least.

And where have I stated any propaganda, hmm?

As I said, You have a problem with the constitution(Your last comment seals that deal). You cant have capitalism without capitalists.
Which capitalists do you have problems with? Dick Cheney or Bill Gates? We would love to know!
Not that it matters, as you are avoiding the question and point of my second comment on this thread. That question is where in the constitution it talks about health care and your rights there of at the expense of taxpayers like me.
If want to spread your socialist propaganda then at least have the guts to put your name to the post. Many of us that comment here at the BHC do. It is called accountability, and it works wonders in being taken seriously.
That is why this man who named his kid is being talked about. Nothing anonymous there, he threw it out there for, including his wife, to see. that is more than I can say for the anonymous comments trashing him and his family.

I complain about the inequalities of Capitalism, in a sterile, “theoretical” environment, It should provide the most for all, and it in practice, does not. The problem with Capitalism is not Capitalism, it is the Capitalist.
And quite obviously, we cannot compete as a True Socialist Nation (Which is quite an idiotic idea, and just as problematic as True Capitalism)
The Issue I have is that we do not offer the aid and justice to those who should have it most, the worker.
Profit is unpaid labor, and our inequalities promote Class hatred, instead of a partial,percentage wage (The highest income of one in a company cannot go above a % of the lowest, ex. 500%, 600ět) paid out, we have this gross differences in incomes with skyrocketing profits and the slow growth of ego and greed that eventually takes over the smart business practices one should have (Banks and overlending anyone?)

As to being Anonymous, again, I called your bluff and gave you an address.
And you act like I find being called Anonymous offensive, while that is just the opposite.

And do you truly think I believe that this post on a medium sized paper will change anything, It is but an opportunity for a bit of Knowledge sparring, and I can never pass that up.

Well since you are blinded by your own intelligence I will break it down for you.
You complain about capitalism, that is what this country was founded on. Yes, you have a problem with the constitution. Maybe you have a “strong illness” from your public school education.
Any search of Carl Kilo will lead you to my blog, one of Virginia’s oldest, and my bio, picture, address, etc. My opinions and my picture are glued to me, unlike you and the host of anonymous commentors hiding behind a keyboard.You will find pictures of me having dinner with governors, senators, and Reps from both parties. I frequent Richmond to protest the use of my tax money. I call on both parties and hold them all accountable. You my dear are anonymous. A fart in the dark that no one claims.
Ask any reporter or politician about anonymous complainers. They are hilarious and I said that from day one.

Did you read me complaining about the Constitution? No, so your point is obviously invalid for that. As to your “Paying for anothers healthcare” Yes, wealth should be partially distributed, what right does the wealthiest among us have to Horde their wealth? We do not live in the Feudal systems of Europe anymore, Yes, You’re sure that with Voodoo economics and insurance companies held by a few is a good idea for the cheapest and most reliable healthcare, and it’s a load of BS, look at how this fared with our banking system. Ever read any Adam Smith? He’d be rolling in his grave from this.
If one is to ground up in the Gears of Capitalism, one should at least have their broken bones mended for their troubles.

As to Anonymous Posters, why don’t you stop by HVHS monday and ask for me hmm?
I’d love to be able to both destroy your argument and mock you face to face.
