(No background music) School kids taught to praise Obama
This is an absolute travesty. We need to end “public education”. All they are doing is ensuring that the next generation of “voters” will be too indoctrinated to be free! Argh!

RANT: Liberty; not gooferment
Thursday, September 24, 2009Anonymous said…
*** begin quote ***
The consumer is king? No, he’s not. What’s my choice for electricity and gas? PSE&G or PSE&G? Or I have to move to another state. In many cases, one or two companies have a monopoly of a certain type of business or there is often price fixing and collusion between corporations. That is certainly true of the private for profit health insurance industry.
What the hell is some poor working stiff in West Virginia supposed to do against giant coal mining corporations that are polluting the water, soil and air of their neighborhoods? Oh yeah, they have the option to move from their homes where they may have roots going back generations. We have no choice about how the energy is transmitted to our abodes. The only way to deal with these great polluters is through the power of the government or the legislature. We need a trust busting Theodore Roosevelt and an army of Upton Sinclairs to take on all these giant corporations which are raping the environment and our wallets. Corporate America has too much power, they are unelected but they control the media and have undue influence over Congress and our legislatures, (local, state and federal).
We need strong unions to give workers a voice and to level the playing field.

OK, let’s take PSEG. Who gave them a monopoly? The Gooferment. So aim your ire at the “state”! That’s why you don’t have a choice.
Even when given a monopoly, that still doesn’t completely insulate the monopoly service provider. Comcast was the monopoly. Then, came DirectTv. Then, Dish. Then, Verizon FIOS.
>In many cases, one or two companies have a monopoly of a certain type of business or
> there is often price fixing and collusion between corporations.
There is NO monopoly without GOOFERMENT. Competition disolves “natural monopolies” in a few years. Everyone always cites the Rockyfeller oil monopoly which lasted (I think) THREE years before competitors came in and took percentages.
>That is certainly true of the private for profit health insurance industry.
There is NO such industry. The Federal and State Gooferments regulate EVERYTHING about healthcare. AND, those companies LOVE it. It prevents competition. “Regulatory capture”, restriction on suuply, mandated coverages just make it expensive.
>What the hell is some poor working stiff in West Virginia supposed to do against giant coal
>mining corporations that are polluting the water, soil and air of their neighborhoods?
Where’s the Federal and State EPA that are supposed to be preventing that?!? In fact, the gooferment is the biggest polluter. (Check some of the DOD and DOE sites.)
If you had a fair judicial system, then they’d have a recourse. Read Healing Our World by Dr. Mary Ruwart. http://www.ruwart.com/Healing/chap14.html
>Corporate America has too much power, they are unelected but they control the media
> and have undue influence over Congress and our legislatures, (local, state and federal).
It’s called Facism. Where the State and Business become “bedfellows”.
>We need strong unions to give workers a voice and to level the playing field.
Yeah, right. Like the UAW, Teachers Union, or SCIU are weak. Please, don’t make me laugh. They are AS corrupt as the politicians.
So who’s going to save you now?
The answer is we have to rescue ourselves. It’s our thinking that needs to change. We have to demand freedom and liberty. We can start by voting out EVERY incumbent. Call it voter imposed term limits. Demand TRUE deregulation. No licenses, no permits, no gooferment oversight. Liberty will protect us.

MONEY: Why buy insurance?
Thursday, September 24, 2009Should You Hurry to Buy Life Insurance?
Hough: Policy prices are rising. Here’s what you need to know.
*** begin quote ***
Avoid it <<insurance>>, unless both of the following statements apply:
1. Your death would put someone you care about in a financial bind.
2. You’re not rich enough to set money aside for that person now.
Note that caring about someone isn’t enough of a reason, because insurance is a money-losing proposition, making it a poor gift versus simply saving. The purpose of insurance is to turn the unknowable (the probability of financial disaster brought on by your death) into the known (the cost of premiums today). Buy only enough so that your loved ones don’t suffer financially, not enough to make them feel like they’ve hit the lottery. They’ll feel like lottery winners anyhow after seeing your savings and brokerage accounts stuffed with all the money you saved on insurance. Buy only cheap term insurance, not expensive whole life or anything else that builds investment value, because you can build investment value in your brokerage account with more control and lower fees.
*** end quote ***
I remember the old life insurance salesman’s canard: “A man who dies, leaving his family with no life insurance, doesn’t die; he absconds!”
I think this author nails it.
Worth a quick read.

Perhaps we need to start legally euthanizing the elderly instead of abortions.

I REPLIED:
I’d like the gooferment to stop messing around with human beings. We need all the people we can create. Don’t kid yourself about the “purpose” of contraceptives. And, imho Africa’s problem is corrupt gooferments aided and abet by OUR corrupt gooferment. Imagine what would happen if the world said to the ruling elite of a poor African country, “No, you can leave your squalid little part of the Earth until you clean it up. You most certainly can not bank your stolen treasure here. You can’t enjoy our society while you are robbing and killing your own countrymen.” Argh, like that’s ever going to happen. Ever wonder why the world’s leaders eschew assassination? Not for the benefit of their citizens! Euthanasia, genetic selection, sterilization, and abortion is the complete undervaluing a human life. It’s the path TO the death camps. “Too many kids” from “poor women” is code for we have a gooferment that is out of control. Again, imho.

Fowlkes’ funeral will be Friday at 4 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Gaffney. He will be buried at Frederick Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Veterans’ officials are asking people to line Floyd Baker Boulevard as the funeral procession passes.

I continue to think that every politician representing that district should be at that funeral.
Both Senators and the Secretary of Defense too.
Why not the President?
Then, maybe, just maybe, they will understand that we are killing our boys and girls.
For what purpose?
It may be necessary to order men and women to go and die for the country. But, boys and girls, that should be a damn serious decision.
Argh!
And, then we can talk about the financial cost!

POLITICIAL: Gooferment insurance!

Helping the unemployed
*** begin quote ***
Wall Street may think we’re coming out of this recession, but there are millions of workers who may disagree. That’s why Congress is considering another extension of unemployment benefits that “would provide 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits for more than 300,000 jobless people who live in states with unemployment rates of at least 8.5 percent and who are scheduled to run out of benefits by the end of September.”
*** and ***
Unemployment is designed to help people as they seek other work
*** end quote ***
“Unemployment is designed to help people as they seek other work”
Herb, herb, herb, typically muddled “liberal” (not classical liberal) left thinking.
“UNEMPLOYMENT” is the invisible hand of the marketplace telling you that it doesn’t “think” it needs what you are selling. You then have some choices. Seek other ways to server your fellow man. For which service, the marketplace will award, or reward, you suficient “Certificates of Appreciation” to reinforce that you are doing “good”.
Thus, “unemployment” is designed to TELL people to seek other work!
Unlike a beehive, we need the individual bee to figure out how to make their contribution to “the hive”. We’ve discovered that cooperation (i.e., division of labor) makes “prosperity” (i.e., support a larger number of people). “Subsistence farming”, as opposed to “division of labor”, which is in vogue in Africa, is less prosperous.
Since humans take direction very badly unless very motivated, it has been found that “liberty” seems to be a very good strategy to get those pesky humans to “produce”. It’s all very messy. And, has all the appearances of chaos. But, like a crowded city street, it does have the result of getting everyone where they want to go. With a minimum of friction.
So.
Unemployment is a necessary evil to motivate those pesky humans.
On the other hand, “unemployment insurance” is a gooferment program that PREVENTS humans from engaging in a host of beneficial behaviors. Saving, planning, training, … just to name a few. That bad gooferment program steals from every WORKER to REWARD unemployment. Also, the gooferment has bureaucrats to administer this supposed “insurance” program. (Note that insurance is for those semi random things that are beyond the individual’s control. Like a hurricane, flood, or other natural disaster. Unemployment is NOT unforeseeable, NOT random, and NOT beyond the individual’s control.)
Imagine if there was NO gooferment unemployment insurance, then workers would save for the future. Those savings would provide capital to the marketplace for growth.
It’s hard to underestimate the damage that these so called “insurance” programs do to the people and the economy. It trains people to look to Mommy Gooferment to “save” us. The gooferment creates the problem and then rushes in to “save” us. Often making the problem much much worse.
Sigh, today’s left liberals have to learn that it is only by VOLUNTARY participation do we secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. (Think I’ve read that somewhere.) Keep your gooferment “solutions”. There’s a reason that African, seeking to emigrate here, to “the land of fat poor people”.

That Sinking GM Feeling

Special to The Libertarian Enterprise
*** begin quote ***
Later he lies again, “So we’re putting our money where our mouth is.” No, you bastard, you stinking lackey of big government, you filthy thief, you aren’t. GM tried putting their money where their mouth is, and they lost. They went under. So now they are putting our money where their mouth is. He isn’t a nice old man, he’s an evil old liar.
*** end quote ***
Absolutely correct.
This gooferment stooge ADMITTED he know nothing about cars. Didn’t do much for AT&T either. Guess he contributed big and get his reward.
Special place in eternity for all of them!

LIBERTY: A real single payer
Tuesday, September 22, 2009http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=109854
How ’bout a real single-payer system?
Posted: September 15, 2009
*** begin quote ***
What did we do, back during the years when most Americans had no medical insurance? I did what most people did. I depended on a “single payer” – myself. When I didn’t have the money, I paid off my medical bills in installments.
The birth of my first child was not covered by medical insurance. I paid off the bill, month by month, until the time finally came when I could tell my wife that the baby was now ours, free and clear.
In a country where everything imaginable is bought and paid for on credit, why is it suddenly a national crisis if some people cannot pay cash up front for medical treatment?
*** end quote ***
We have 310M people with 15M “uninsured”.
So we are going to mess up 295 to possibly “insure” 15?
Sorry, but everyone should just pay their own. And insurance and charity care for the big bad wolf!
Start by making insurance tax deductible for everyone.

Hail to the Islamic Ben Stein!
Nick Gillespie | September 15, 2009, 8:04am
Islamic creationism is on the rise!
*** begin quote ***
Operating from Istanbul, Yahya is the founder of the Science Research Foundation, an impressive publishing empire that boasts more than 60 websites dedicated to his writings. It provides documentary films and audio recordings in fifteen languages, including Turkish, English, Russian, Amharic and Arabic, and claims to sell more than half a million books a year, including the infamous 850-page, fully illustrated Atlas of Creation, which was sent free in two volumes to dozens of universities, libraries and prominent scientists (including Richard Dawkins) across the world. In painstaking detail, with a mass of photos, graphs and statistics interspersed with verses from the Koran, the Atlas purports to prove that Darwin was utterly mistaken, that each plant and animal was created intact, and that no modification through natural selection ever took place.
*** end quote ***
If I was Ben Stein, I’d be upset.
I always thought Ben was thoughtful and accurate.
This fellow may be wrong, But, he’s prolific. He must be funded and have help to do all this.
