Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots
Posted by timothy on Saturday September 22, @10:28AM
from the it’s-the-little-things dept.
doug141 writes “A Colorado county put bar codes on printed ballots in a last minute effort to comply with a rule about eliminating identifying markings. Citizens sued, because the bar codes can still be traced back to individual voters. In a surprise ruling, Denver U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello said the U.S. Constitution did not contain a ‘fundamental right’ to secret ballots, and that the citizens could not show their voting rights had been violated, nor that they might suffer any specific injury from the bar codes.”

Are you kidding me?
Seems like a fundamental protection is being violated here.
Maybe it’s just me.

Mr. President, Why Is My Son in Afghanistan? By Anna Berlinrut
Juliet Buck
Radical SAHM
Topics> Foreign Policy, Military, Politics, Diplomacy
Editors Note:
Anna is a member of Military Families Speak Out — the only nationwide organization of military families (and supporters) that want to bring our troops home from Afghanistan NOW and take care of them. There is power in numbers. We now have approximately 4,000 military families registered and about 2,000 non-military supporters. The larger we grow, the more powerful our voice will be. We also want to stop the War with Iran before it starts. That war would also not be in the best interest of our country.

September 17, 2012
Dear Mr. President:
He’s been in Afghanistan for two weeks, but I feel as though I’ve aged 10 years. This is my only son’s sixth deployment in harm’s way.
I was supposed to get together with friends Saturday night. But when I read that two more NATO troops were killed in Helmund Province in a green on blue attack, I cancelled my plans. Then I found out they were Brits. This morning I heard that four American troops were killed by Afghans in uniform. Another mother’s son is dead. Not mine.
I don’t understand why our troops are there. First we were told it was to destroy al Qaeda. But Bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda has not been in Afghanistan in large numbers in many years. They are now scattered around the world in many countries.
*** and ***
My son is an ANA trainer in one of the most volatile regions of Afghanistan. He has left his pregnant wife and two young sons to go half way around the world to a country where many of the people he is trying to help want to kill him. Our President cannot give me a valid reason why he is there. It’s time to bring all of our troops home and take care of them.
Sincerely,
Anna Berlinrut, Maplewood, New Jersey
*** end quote ***
Like Ron Paul said: “We can just march out!”
There is NO logic to why we are there, still there, ever went there.
Argh!
This just proves to me that the “anti-war movement” was astroturf!

CBS Doesn’t Air Obama Admitting Mistakes in Campaign Ads
10:39 PM, Sep 23, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
*** begin quote ***
Tonight, CBS aired a 60 Minutes interview with President Obama. But curiously enough, the news magazine show did not air a clip of Obama admitting to interviewer Steve Kroft that some of his campaign ads contain mistakes and that some even “go overboard.”
*** end quote ***
So what’s the surprise?
Big Media, Hollywood, and the Liberal Left is in full “Relect BHO44” mode.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way aside.
Argh!
No wonder that “We, The Sheeple” are getting shorn and killed.

Yet Another Reason To Torch the TV
Posted by Becky Akers on September 19, 2012 08:10 AM
*** begin quote ***
“Officials in California want prime-time TV shows to help promote President Obama’s healthcare law. … ‘A number of popular television programs and personalities such as Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, the Biggest Loser, Dr. Oz and others will be approached and pitched to incorporate story lines or mentions of health care reform that would reinforce campaign messages,’” according to the “marketing plan” from “California’s insurance exchange — a new marketplace [sic], created by” Obummercare.
Apparently, the idea that propaganda should be subtle and hidden has waned as Our Rulers’ contempt for us waxes.
*** end quote ***
I’ve debated that Obamacare muddles “health”, “health care”, “health care insurance”, and / or something else.
Now we find out that the Gooferment is using / expect Hollywood to brainwash us.
Sorry, but if any of my favorite comedies pick up this theme. They are toast!
They can join Jane Fonda in my dog house!

Every computer user should have a Carbonite or it’s equivalent. Computers go toes up for many reasons. After your platform becomes a smoking hole, or even just a hole when it gets stolen, what are YOU left with? Other than a “woe is me” tale. Astonishing to me is how few people have ANY backup strategy. No “Plan B”. Having paid tuition at that particular division of the University of Hard Knocks, I have no intention of revisiting the panic, dismay, and frustration of losing it ALL. (Not my fault. My employer had an enterprise backup plan. My platform was ‘overlooked’. Good bye 6 months of work. Some irreplaceable.) I’ve experienced this personally — two hard drives, one power supply, and one theft. with minimal impact. So, I am a firm worshiper at the “Church of Belt and Suspenders”! I’ve got layers of recovery. All set on automatic pilot. YMMV! But don’t expect sympathy from me when yours spinns, crashes, and burns.
p.s., I’m not shilling for Carbonite but for 60$/year, why not?

5 Things I Did In My 20′s That Made Me Rich In My 40′s
by Rob Berger
in Personal Finance
*** begin quote ***
My wife and I just sent our first child off to college, and we’ll send our second to college next year. Through all the things that go with this time of life, I’ve been very focused on teaching my children sound money management principles. And the process made me realize just how much the decisions my wife and I made in our 20′s affect our finances today in our 40′s.
Despite the headline of this article, we’re not quit-your-job rich. But we are comfortable. We have no debt other than our mortgage. We paid cash for our last car (a used Toyota Camry hybrid). We have money set aside for our children’s college education. And we are on track to retire.
So if you are in your 20′s or know somebody who is, here are five decisions that made all the difference.
Decision #1–Earned a VALUABLE degree
Decision #2–Avoided consumer debt
Decision #3–Began investing early:
Decision #4–Bought modest vehicles:
Decision #5–Maintained good credit:
*** and ***
If you are in your 20′s, I hope you’ll give some thought to the above as you make decisions for you and your family. Trust me, you’ll thank me twenty years from now.
*** end quote ***
Not sure if I agree with #3.
And, I’d say that “#0 — Only spend 80% of what you make!” Wish I’d known and done that. My wife taught me that one. She’s save all the bonus money, raises, windfalls, tax refunds, … and a portion of all “big” casino wins.
(If you’re NOT lucky like me, don’t gamble.)
And, NEVER EVER play the state run lotto or numbers. It’s really a tax on stupidity.
Argh!

Who Knew, Redux
*** begin quote ***
It doesn’t take a foreign policy wonk to understand why the Obama Administration is so desperate to “spin” its version of how Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Consulate (and diplomatic safe house) in Benghazi, Libya almost two weeks ago, resulting in the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. As the true details of that incident begin to emerge, one thing is clear: this is a security, intelligence and leadership debacle of the first magnitude.
Mr. Stevens and his colleagues didn’t have to have to die–it’s that simple. There were warnings of a possible attack up to three days prior, from Libyan officials and Egyptian intelligence. There are also indications that the Brits knew something was up and shared that information with us, but to no avail. Ambassador Stevens, who reportedly told co-workers he “had a price on his head,” elected to travel to the unsecure Benghazi facility, with no dedicated security detail. However, it is unclear if Stevens received the latest threat information before setting out for the consulate.
And, it now evident that senior U.S. officials knew the Benghazi compound was under attack as it unfolded (emphasis ours). According to media reports, President Obama was told of the assault between 90 minutes and three hours into the incident. He later went to bed, before the fate of Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues was determined.
*** and ***
Based on what we’re hearing, it seems likely that President Obama was in receipt of similar messages on the night our consulate was breached and Ambassador Stevens was murdered, along with three other Americans. And, if NSA was monitoring terrorist phone calls in the run-up to the attack, there is a very real possibility that the commander-in-chief knew what was going on well before the “three hour” mark. That possibility raises very real questions about what Mr. Obama knew, when he knew it, and his initial response to the crisis.
As Congress digs deeper into the incident, they should ask the NSA Director (General Keith Alexander) about CRITIC reporting from Libya on the night in question. The amount of CRITIC reporting by NSA is very small–usually no more than a handful of messages a year. It won’t be very hard to determine if any FLASH/CRITIC messages were sent to the White House that night; when the President received them, and exactly what he knew before his “command decision” to go back to bed.
*** end quote ***
“… real questions about what Mr. Obama knew, when he knew it, and his initial response to the crisis.”
This is what it always comes down to.
The cover up.
The media and the talking heads roasted Bush43 on the events of 9/11.
Yet, with this, we hear nothing.
Having worked at NSA, I know how serious they are about the mission.
We spend a lot of money on Gooferment. Be nice to know if we got our moneys worth!
FOreign policy has taken a back seat to the economy.
By the way, when was the last time you heard of a Russian Ambassador being touched?
You have to be feared!
