As the voice of the loyal opposition, traversing Route 95, I see some outrageous driving by moron-o-cycles. So, I think that we should feather back the soundbites. Remember NO politician who wants to be reelected will EVER mention “retesting”. As a little L libertarian, I think the Gooferment should leave driver “licensing” and auto “registration” to the evil insurance companies. And, “no victim; no crime”. If you have an accident, then it should be restitution. Speeding tickets and red light cameras are merely about revenue; not safety. If everything the State makes illegal (e.g., seatbelts), then my generation should have ended the human race. Argh!

RANT: More Gooferment sex scandals
Wednesday, November 14, 2012News Alert
from The Wall Street Journal
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Tuesday asked the Senate to put on hold the confirmation of the top commander in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, as the new NATO supreme allied commander for Europe following the discovery of allegedly inappropriate communications between the general and a Tampa social planner.
The planner, Jill Kelley, is at the center of a scandal involving Gen. Allen’s predecessor as the top coalition commander in Kabul, Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned as CIA director last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.

Isn’t amazing how these “big” smart powerful men can not control their urges?
Stunning!
Isn’t NATO an idea who’s time has passed any way?
And if Clinton’s affair was “OK”? Why are these any different?
Argh!

Hillary’s Next Move
By GAIL COLLINS
Published: November 10, 2012
Times Topic: Hillary Rodham Clinton
*** begin quote ***
“Maybe I’ll get a decorating show,” said Hillary Clinton.
It was a few weeks before the election. Clinton was flying back from an overnight trip to Peru, talking — without any great enthusiasm — about the topic that would begin to obsess the American political world as soon as the presidential ballots had been counted: Will Hillary run in 2016?

POLITICAL: Do “We, The Sheeple” understand that no politician “gives” anything
Monday, November 12, 2012FROM BHO44’s FACEBOOK:
Forward
As usual the rightwing propaganda machine has been spreading misinformation about the election.. So just for the record.. The polls were correct.. Romney was never in the lead.. The jobs numbers were right.. And not only was this election a Landslide.. It confirmed that Obamacare is here to stay.. Giving America Healthcare.. Something Presidents from both parties have been trying to accomplish since 1912.. Barack Obama is the first Democrat to win two terms with majorities in both the Electoral College & the Popular Vote.. Since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.. When you add to these things all of his many accomplishments.. You come to the realization that not only has he solidified his place in History.. But He will go down as one the greatest Presidents this Nation has ever had…
# – # – #
Presidents, or any politician and bureaucrat, don’t “give” “US” anything. They merely STEAL from the haves or the productive and REDISTRIBUTE to some ill-defined population while RETAINING a large portion for themselves. And, expect everyone to ADORE them for doing this.
As far as OBAMCARE goes, it’s an economic certainty NOT to work. While will a reduced number of doctors (some fraction will retire rather than work for less than their expectations) be able to SERVICE about a THIRD more people who know have FREE healthcare. We learned in ECON 101 that medical care is an INELASTIC good people will demand it regardless of supply. SO look to the VA, MEDICAID, and the NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN HEALTHCARE systems for how it’s going to be. Long lines, killing delays, and “death panels” deciding what will be provided for the MUNDANE class; while the rich and the politicians are treated differently.
Argh!
And, FYI, I didn’t like either choice. I voted for Ron Paul!
Did everyone overlook that we’re broke and in hock up to eyeballs to China?

RANT: Veteran’s Day
Sunday, November 11, 2012RESPONDING TO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY WISHING ALL VETS GOOD THOUGHTS FOR FIGHTING “FOR US” POSTED ON FACEBOOK.
Dearest Amy: As a Vet, who never really left the continental US, it’s only the “for us” that I have a problem with. Many times, say since 1860, but most definitely since 1900’s, and most recently in VietNam, as well as all the wars recently including Iraq, AfPAk, Libya, and on and on, have not been “FOR US”. Our political leadership have used the military as a tool for their own personal ends.
It’s a national disgrace when we have to have a “wound warriors” charity to take care of the women and men sent in our name for an unagreed ill-considered stupidity. (You know I’m a Ron Paul advocate.) We should have and should be bring every one of the boys and girls home. NOW!
I really laugh when politicians run as “peace candidates”. Even funnier, is when they say it with a straight face. Our leader’s foreign policy is to kill people. Even American’s. In cold blood, without even so much as an acknowledgement. “Collateral damage”.
The supposed anti-war movement of my generation and current is nothing more than an astro-turf wing of the liberal socialists in the Democratic Party. At least, the Republicans, with the exception of ROn Paul and the now small Taft-ing of the party, don’t even pretend to be at peace.
Finally, no one seems to see that via a policy of “abortion as birth control”, the USA has committed a genocide on itself. With an welfare / warfare state, the USA has impoverished future generations with a debt that can never be paid off. With a dumbed down State Indoctrination system called “publik eddykation”, the USA has become too stupid to think for itself. With Obamacare, you’ll now have the “best” of Soviet style medicine for the elite.
I’m sorry that past generations, including me, have failed to preserve the USA as the land of opportunity. For that, I apologize and wish you youngsters all the best in fixing our stupidity.

INTERESTING: What are the odds?
Sunday, November 11, 2012
What are the odds?
Every house on the block, shared with my shore house has damage, but mine.
Note the water line on the outside shower and hot water heater. That’s about ¾ of the way up the black cinder block foundation.
If it reached the top of the black, storm water would have gotten in to the porch, dining room, three bedrooms, bathroom, and one BRAND NEW kitchen.
Very lucky! Very Providential.
I wish everyone hit by Sandy was this lucky. Sadly it’s not so. Some lost everything. Nothing down the shore will ever be the same. Now I have had a little taste of what the folks in Katrina have felt.
Scuttlebutt was that FEMA was going to stiff those with flood insurance if they were part-time resident. Not a lot of happy people with that assertion.

MONEY: Sometimes it’s smart to take the offer?

Don’t Make These Mistakes When Buying Life Insurance
by ROB BERGER
in INSURANCE
*** begin quote ***
3. Holding Out for A Better Offer
The most recent and biggest screw up we saw had to do with a 30 year old female applying for a $1 million term policy. After asking all the basic medical conditions, she gave us the impression that she would get approved at a Preferred rate. With her age and the amount she needed, we anticipated her rate to be about $70 per month.
After the initial paramedical exam, they found that her cholesterol was a little on the high side; and not just a little on the high side, high enough where instead of being Preferred she was rated a Standard Table B (essentially that means she was knocked down four table classes). That means her rate went from $70 a month to $162 a month. The insurance company made this offer without requesting her APS, otherwise known at the Attending Physician Statement. Your APS contains your entire medical background. If you have any medical history, then there is a pretty good chance that the life insurance company will request your APS.
*** end quote ***
I’ve been always been a firm adherent to the “take the deal”. Have to bird in the hand; rather than two in that bush over there.

POLITICAL: The internet is the hope for civilization

A Public ‘Thank You’
by Butler Shaffer
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
~ Margaret Mead
*** begin quote ***
I think it is correct to say that Western Civilization has collapsed; its creative, liberating, and humanizing foundations destroyed by the collective forces of institutionalized violence. American and European countries – long the seats of Western culture – are at the end of an entropic decline. At the same time, however, I have long suspected that we are in the early stages of a transformation in thinking that is producing major changes in how we live and work with one another in society. The vertically-structured systems of centralized authority are being replaced by horizontal networks that interconnect in decentralized, voluntary ways. The Internet – which has expanded the liberating and creative capacities inhering in Gutenberg’s invention – is the most visible expression of what I think of as the “unfolding civilization.”
*** end quote ***
This is a meme shifting paradigm shifting concept.
Without the internet in your caculation, you are doomed to failure.

RANT: The election results sadden me
Thursday, November 8, 2012Huge unemployment, record numbers not working, welfare at an all time high.
Debt soaring, deficits increasing, fiscal irresponsibility.
Foreign policy in shambles. More wars, less peace.
Lying, cover ups, media bias.
Assault on the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments.
Corruption and fraud in the elections.
Obamacare fundamentally seizes control of healthcare. Death panels start killing us. Cost exponentially increase.
Pro-Life and Catholic values rejected. Marriage redefined. I am taxed to fund activities I deem abhorrent and immoral.
A second term of even more radical action can be expected.
Sorry, but the American Experiment in Liberty is traveling down the road to ruin.
If anything, this election convinces me more that we have to figure out how to secede.
Looks like, things are going to get much much worse. As the takers have outvoted the makers. And, like the nursery story, The Little Red Hen, the producers have no incentive to cooperate in the theft of the fruits of their labors.
I’d predict that the “productive class” will coast and the economic will get even worse.
I just don’t understand the logic.
But, I will not be abused. I will not be robbed, I will not kneel.
I do NOT consent.
