LIBERTY: give us your tax dollars now and health care will be better in the future

Universal Housing Anyone?

***Begin Quote***

Liberal solutions to problems tend to sacrifice property rights for a future utopia (give us your tax dollars now and health care will be better in the future—we promise).

***End Quote***

I think this usually an IT blogger has hit the nail on the head!

Statists — either liberal or conservative — seem to think that their “latest greatest” idea should be imposed at once. On everyone but them (Look at the Congress’ health care and pensions) for “our own good”. Like we are to stupid to figure it out for ourselves.

And, don’t forget there has to be a big bunch of highly paid gooferment bureaucrats on the payroll to figure it out, administrate it, and extend it enormously.

Argh!

FUN: Middle Aged Woman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1TVOXdNkFo

As a married man of many years, I wouldn’t DARE comment on this. I’ll just politely say “thank you” to Luddite’s wife for sharing this with me. And, hope that that is the right thing to say. One never knows around women of ANY age. :-)

*** end quote ***

I think this is an excellent formulation for as far as it goes.

There’s a few isms that it misses.

Socialism is envy. Fascism is cruel madmen in charge.

And, I’m not sure what ism where have here in current day USA.

Maybe it’s “corporatism” where the Gooferment is in an incestuous relationship with Big Corporations?

The welfare-warfare state. The FDA “regulates” Big Pharma. The Department of Eddycation and the Teacher’s Union ensure that we’re last in the world in academic achievement. And the FCC and Hollywood ensure that morality never gets a positive show with ever more perverse “entertainment”. And, “Law Enforcement” that is corrupt to “protect and serve” the State.

Very interesting. Is this what happened to Rome?

INTERESTING: Don’t worry FEMA will be here soon.

Saturday, February 9, 2008

Old Friends

Don’t worry FEMA will be here soon.

One of the best youtube videos I’ve seen. Not that I’ve watched a lot, but this has the Hollywood feel to it. Is this the deathknell for big budget Hollywood? Might take some time, but it could be. Like looking down the railroad tracks, you can see all the way to convergence. If avian flu, or something like it, doesn’t derail civilization.

RANT: Guess we will get some “interesting” choices this year

Friday, February 8, 2008

Sounds like we will have to choose between “What’s wrong with being in Iraq for 100 years” McC and “tax and spend” O!

Not much of a choice.

Do you want to achieve more self-confidence? Brilliant and hilarious ad, especially the disclaimer in rapid-speak.

RANT: It looked like a “rape” to me

Dial 911 and Be Stripped and Humiliated by the Police

By J.H. Huebert

*** begin quote ***

To follow up on my article on why calling 911 might not always be the best idea, we have a story out of Canton, Ohio, where a woman called 911 after being the victim of an assault — and then…

*** end quote ***

This is stunning and, unless some mitigating circumstance come to light, a lot of these “police officers” should be on their way to prison for a long time.

It looked like a “rape” to me.

I find it hard to believe that anyone watching this would not be moved. It certainly shows the true nature of the gooferment and the “protection” it gives it citizens.

POLITICAL: “Never” means never from the straight talk express

McCain will be in Iraq forever
Posted by James Ostrowski at February 3, 2008 07:30 AM

*** begin quote ***

He says he “will never set a date for withdrawal.”

“Never” means never from the straight talk express.

McCain has zero chance to win in November. He has been decreed by the power elite and corporate state media as a sacrifice on the altar of Hillary.

*** end quote ***

I think McC is nuts. I saw the quote on YouTube about never leaving Iraq.

“We’ll be there for 100 years. What’s wrong with that?”

I think that sums up the candidacy of “everybody but Ron Paul”.

Endless warfare? Right out of George Orwell.

Sigh!

RANT: Why isn’t it “grounding”?

When the quarterback “spikes” the ball to stop the clock, why isn’t that “grounding”?
