Month: August 2009

This article goes a long way toward explaining why I abandoned left-liberalism after college. One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush’s assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple. “BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE,” read the placard,…

The scary Obama-Joker face seems a perfect fit for this truly awful AFP article shilling for the President. But Obama, hoping to offer healthcare to the 46 million Americans who currently have no insurance, attempted to cool the boiling rhetoric being blasted across cable news channels and conservative talks radio every day. “For all the…

Gerald Celente wrote a book. Trends 2000: How to Prepare for and Profit from the Changes of the 21st Century He has a web site Trends Research More Videos: The coming tax revolt: A series of clips in one video. Gerald says you have to produce your way out of problems: My vote for the…

I found and downloaded the entire text of HR 3200 here. At least, I downloaded one version of it; I understand that there are different versions with different amendments. Mine runs 1017 pages and I haven’t had time to read it. It’s not an easy read; especially because it’s loaded with language like this (from…

This is the same type of “health” board that is in the Obama plan. It will help reduce medical costs at least in theory. SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Barbara Wagner has one wish – for more time. “I’m not ready, I’m not ready to die,” the Springfield woman said. “I’ve got things I’d still like to…

We’ve all heard the expression “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” but in an economic sense, that is not necessarily the case. At least, not according to that trouble-maker of a Congressional Budget Chief who keeps popping utopian bubbles with doses of reality: In yet more disappointing news for Democrats pushing…

I’ve seen a lot of twisted logic in the health care debate, and it especially annoyed me to see opposition to government health care being attributed to racism. I well remember during the 1993 debate over Hillarycare (to which I was adamently opposed), there were a lot of the usual insults, imprecations, and the impugning…

Here is the New York Post article mentioned in the video. I had a few words about it at Palin On The Health Care Bill. It seems that the bill is getting a lot of support from union members. I wonder why that is? Why not let the union guys speak for themselves. Mel Hoffer,…

Over at Daily Kos, Ken Gladney (beaten by SEIU union thugs for distributing Gadsen flags while black) is being mocked for not having health insurance: But there’s an interesting twist to this story. It turns out that Kenneth Gladney is a man without health insurance. And he’s asking for help with his medical bills. More…

Now that you have listened to the CSPAN caller, it may be time to look at who are the real astroturfers. From a Craig’s List ad: Now is the time to work for change We need people like you–lots of people like you–to go out in communities around the country this summer and help make…

Reading between the lines of a story about a woman who claims to have been duped, it doesn’t take much imagination to realize that something sexual was going on here. MELBOURNE – A Florida woman was duped into changing diapers and providing care for a man she met through Craigslist who feigned disabilities. Turns out…

The AP has a story up about evangelicals and sex. Since the AP is charging $2.50 a word for any one quoting five words or more from their stories I will give you just a four word taste. When and Then and can and the I hope that helps. Cross Posted at Power and Control

I’m pretty tired of politics, mainly because it’s so damned redundant. In fact it’s so redundant and so repetitive that I am actually sick of being sick of politics, and most of all, sick of even saying I’m sick of politics. I mean, how many times and in how many ways can I say that…

This is a video of the August 4th AARP Meeting in Dallas. Pay close attention to the Marine speaking about 4 minutes into the video. And if you concentrate on the video you will notice a certain flag that keeps showing up in relation to citizen discontent. Cross Posted at Power and Control

Being trapped on an airplane for nine hours and not being allowed to leave strikes me as false imprisonment, and I’m not sure I’m buying the airline’s explanation that the “rules” required passengers to stay on the plane: 47 passengers […] spent the night trapped inside a small airplane, parked at the Rochester airport, complete…

In an earlier post when I complained about ejected babies crashing into vehicles driven by unsuspecting motorists on the freeway, I mentioned my own “near miss” with a baby in plastic pants crawling on a public street in Berkeley. This upset me so much that I never forgot it, but still, I always comforted myself…

You can see a larger version of the poster and read about the controversy with the photographer at the link. Gerard Vanderleun at American Digest gives his take along with more photos of Obama smoking plus a reprise of the original American Digest December 18th article along with the comments from that earlier post. Cross…

I just came across a most interesting www site. Oath Keepers. Here is how they describe themselves. Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.…

Eric of Classical Values suggested a read of this article about the opposition to Obama’s Health Care initiative. In the comments I came across this interesting thought by commenter RKV who talks about the current attitude of the Obama opposition. Victory is what we’re after. We’ll decide what standards we uphold, and refuse to give…

Eric did a post on Free Will and mentioned that the Koran was supposed to be the exact words of Mohamed as received by him from Allah. That made me think of a post I did back in 2006 which I think is pertinent. == I have been noodling around the net and have come…
