RIDGELAND, S.C. (AP) – As Interstate 95 sweeps past this small town along South Carolina’s coastal plain, motorists encounter cameras that catch speeding cars, the only such devices on the open interstate for almost 2,000 miles from Canada to Miami.

Revenue raising.

What else could it be about?

Selective enforcement, Fourth and Fifth Amendment. Right to confront one’s accuser.

What a joke!

Even the vocabulary is a joke — “catch”. what do they “catch”? Honest folks traveling.

A Middle East Warning: American-Style Democracy Isnt the Answer by Ron Holland

*** begin quote ***

Build your system of government based on the successful Swiss model of Confederation government which gives the people the right to create and cancel legislation and laws when your legislative body or leaders fail to follow the majority will of the people.

*** end quote ***

Yup, the Swiss did “government” better than the USA did. The Dead Old White Guys underestimated the threat of Gooferment. It took more than 200 years for the wheels to come off. But come off they did.

Social Security: How to deal with your biggest problem
Posted by James Leroy Wilson

Quote of the Day: “He who will not economize will have to agonize.” — Confucius [Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)

*** and ***

1. Phase in a gradual increase in the retirement age (Retirement Age)

2. Means-test Social Security benefits to pay less to those who have other means of support (Means-test)

3. Allow young Americans to keep some of their Social Security taxes in return for forgoing future Social Security benefits (Partial Opt-out)

4. Reduce other federal spending in order to maintain Social Security for those who depend on it, while improving the opt-out deal for young people (Budget Cuts)

It’s going to be painful, but what else can be done?

POLITICAL: Feminism another killing meme

Over the years, women in the military have served this country with honor and distinction. As a result, 134 have died in Iraq or Afghanistan, and many more were seriously injured. Many of these women were mothers with one or more children under the age of 18. In contrast, we lost only 16 women in Vietnam and six in the first (short) Persian Gulf War.

Many women in those combat support units have found themselves in fire fights, and they have displayed great courage. Feminists hail this as a victory, and they are willing to step over the bodies of their fallen comrades to achieve their goal of running the military. President Obama and many of our elected representatives in Congress are willing to sacrifice enlisted women to advance this feminist goal. We must not allow that to happen!

The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. Let us not forget that. It is not about achieving diversity on the battlefield and equality in the Pentagon.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but women shouldn’t be deliberately put in combat.

Morally, strategically, and tactically — it’s a mistake at all levels, imho.

In Israel, where there is no safety at the rear, it make sense.

In the USA, makes none.

It’s not that I think that “girls are too weak”. Although a dual standard test is a sham. It’s not that I don’t think the can’t make a contribution. It’s not that I don’t think they can fight. (Insert Mama Grizzly metaphor.)

It’s that they are a distraction from the mission, are targets of rape by our own men, and have a more important mission.

Like it or not, they are the future of humanity. When men can have babies, we can reevaluate the situation. Till then, they have a higher calling.

Making babies and guarding them.

Other than the self-preservation instinct, there is no higher calling than “propagating the species”.

I heard a interesting stat yesterday. Europe will fall to Islam because of the birth rates. The USA and Canada as well.

Interesting that the memes of feminism — career over family, birth control, and abortion — will kill our way of life. Throw in the memes of fiat money, Gooferment runs everything, and “Moms have to work to pay taxes” — the distruction is complete.

POLITICAL: BHO44’s Egypt policy called “flip, flop, flip”

Monday, March 14, 2011

LUDDITE FINALLY FORWARDED ME SOMETHING THAT WAS STUNNING.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9sMo-LTdSc

Naill Furgeson, a history prof from Harvard, (hardly a Fox News contributor), roasts President Obama about Egypt. The MSNBC hosts look like they got slapped upside the head by a 2×4. Obviously smart and deeply knowledgeable about the region and history, he just blew their socks off.

The most important quote: “The military is in charge and that’s not usually seen as a successful outcome of a democratic revolt.”

In a five minute segment, he shows how the American electorate made a mistake that will forever change the world. And, he slammed Hillary, Gates, and the Obama administration’s foreign policy staff as “not even second rate”.

Wow!

And, this made it on to MSNBC? The propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. The crown Jewel of Gooferment Electric. I’m sure there will be a strong memo to follow.

Hey, Fox News, you need to have this guy on more often. He’s as good as Dick Morris as calling folks out about facts.

Indiscriminate Killing

Further proof that the left is no more anti-war than the right. Their problem with the US military is not that it is a killing machine, but that it has been too anti-gay in its hiring practices.

No difference between the D’s and the R’s.

Bring all the girls and boys home.

POLITICAL: Beck is NOT a libertarian … yet

Thursday, March 3, 2011

http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance232.html

imho, Beck is NOT a libertarian … yet. He’s definitely on the path that will lead him there. He’s yet to realize that it’s the Gooferment’s claimed monopoly on the use of force that makes so many problems. When we realize, that forcing people to do anything, just doesn’t work. Ever try to get a child to eat their veggies? That’s why there are drugs in prisons. The human is the slipperiest adapter ever created; you can’t MAKE them do anything. You can only kill them. Government is the meme that kills us. imho

UK: Care and compassion?
Report of the Health Service Ombudsman on ten investigations into NHS care of older people

*** begin quote ***

Sadly, of the ten people featured in this report, nine died during the events described here, or soon afterwards. In accordance with the legislation, my investigations were conducted in private and their identities have not been revealed.

I encourage Members of both Houses to read the stories of my investigations included in this report. I would ask that you then pause and reflect on my findings: that the reasonable expectation that an older person or their family may have of dignified, pain-free end of life care, in clean surroundingsin hospital, is not being fulfilled. Instead, these accounts present a picture of NHS provision that is failing to respond to the needs of older people with care and compassion and to provide even the most basic standards of care.

*** end quote ***

And, we expect Obamacare to deliver something better?

If you believe this, I have a bridge for sale!
