Barack Obama Praises Kenya’s Draft Constitution Allowing Unlimited Abortions

*** begin quote ***

Nairobi, Kenya (LifeNews.com) — President Barack Obama has come under fire from pro-life members of Congress for his administration potentially illegally spending as much as $10 million promoting the new pro-abortion constitution in Kenya. Now, in a new interview, Obama himself carefully urged Kenya residents to support it.

Obama officials were thought to have spent $2 million but Rep. Chris Smith says that figure could exceed $10 million.

A new interview conducted Tuesday with the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has Obama actively promoting the constitution, which would have the effect of overturning the nation’s pro-life laws that prohibit most abortions.

*** end quote ***

Are you kidding me? This is a joke. Right!

Two or ten matters not. Why is Taxpayers’ Money being spent on this?

As a Pro-life Pro-choice fat old white guy injineer, I don’t want to pay for this immoral activity. Abortion is a horrible event. To have the Gooferment involved in it is abhorrent. It’s a terrible choice that a woman has to make. In a perfect world, we’d have lots of resources to make it unnecessary. (That’s the pro-life part of me!) In that perfect world, the Gooferment would have an interest in preserving the life of a future citizen. But we are far from perfect. The Gooferment should butt out because it can’t even find it’s own ass in dark closet! Best leave it to the woman and those she chooses to involve. (That’s the pro-choice part of me!)

Us, little L libertarians, are pro-choice on everything.

(1) Doesn’t OBH44 have enough to do here in this country?

(2) Why are we meddling in Kenya’s affairs?

(3) If he wants to run Kenya, he should grab his birth certificate and run for office there!

(4) As a pro-life, I object to using my tax dollars on something so morally offensive.

(5) As a pro-choicer, we in the USA should MYOB!

Argh!

Obama Administration to Spend $125M to Defend Pro-Abortion Health Care Law
by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor
June 7, 2010

*** begin quote ***

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Obama administration is unveiling a new $125 million publicity campaign over the next five years to promote the pro-abortion health care law. Obama officials are relying on a pro-abortion former senator and a former official of a top pro-abortion group to make the case for the law.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

Where does the gooferment get off using tax money to propagandize the electorate to convince them they are wrong!

It’s immoral.

RECOMMENDED: PAYTRUST

The Rewards of Routine Maintenance

*** begin quote ***

I used to make fun of my cousin, Nick, for this. Nick has tens of thousands of dollars in the bank, yet he’s always getting late fees for things like the electric bill. “What the heck?” I asked him once. “How can this be possible?” He shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said. “I get the bills in the mail, put them on the table, and then I forget about them. They get buried under other mail. It’s only three or four months later that I find them again.” This used to baffle me, but now I understand.

*** end quote ***

May I make an unusual suggestion? (It’s unusual for me. Not that I’m making a suggestion. I am after all a “know it all” and never leave a suggestion unexpressed. — “That’s supposed to be a joke, son.” Yosemite Sam — I try ONLY to suggest things that are free. This ain’t free.)

PAYRUST

It costs about 15$/month. For this, they will receive your bills by USMAIL or over the net and put it in your “inbox”. It can automatically “action” your bills; paying them in full or in part. And, it emails you weekly summaries, reminders, and such. You pay them on their site and they send the checks or e-payments.

All very organized.

I recommend it highly. Especially if you’re disorganized, travel a lot, or have psych issues with bills in the mail.

It’s a great service.

At the end of the year, they will send you a CD of your stuff for 20$. It’s all very useful.

And, I recommend it. Highly.

INTERESTING: Write your own obit

Monday, June 14, 2010

One thing that I have learned form reading all the old Jaspers’ obits is that you should write your own.

You should have your own “doomsday book”. It will come eventually to all of us. The financial writer all advocate having all your details in one place for your executor to access. Passwords as well.

I’ll have to start working on mine.

What color should it be?

Black? Nah, too somber. Inside I was a barrel of fun.

White? Nah, too pure. I certainly wasn’t that.

Pink? Nah, too gay. Not me.

Blue? Nah, too stodgy. That’s not the fun loving guy I was.

Paisley? Nah, too frivolous for a serious topic. I was always serious.

Guess it will be a recycled Green. For Jaspers. And, cheap. I was never cheap except in my old age.

Now where did I put my “treasure chest”. All I need is the eye patch to match my scar.

Argh!

QUOTE: “I never questioned my decision in letting her go”

Monday, June 14, 2010

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100612/D9G9N3BO0.html

“I never questioned my decision in letting her go,” he told reporters Friday. “In this day and age we get overprotective with our children. If you want to look at statistics, look at how many teenagers die in cars every year. Should we let teenagers drive cars? I think it’d be silly if we didn’t.”

Laurence Sunderland, the father of 16-year-old Abby Sunderland,
who failed trying to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe solo.

p.s., Interesting quote

*** begin quote ***

The Australian maritime authority did not say how much the rescue mission would cost but said it would not be seeking compensation for the search, which initially fell just outside of Australia’s search and rescue region. It was not immediately clear if the French vessel would seek compensation.

*** end quote ***

# – # – #

Unfortunately, I don’t think it is fair for the Taxpayer to bear the cost. It may or not have been foolish. But, for sure, it shouldn’t be the taxpayers’ problem. Not that I wouldn’t bust a gut to save anyone. Kid or not. But this wasn’t an accident. The military can use the practice. But Dad should get the tab! He should have found a sponsor to pay for it?

LIBERTY: Markets allow peaceful cooperation

Sunday, June 13, 2010

http://freekeene.com/free-audiobook/

“The Market for Liberty”
Linda & Morris Tannehill (1970)

*** begin quote ***

Government: An Unnecessary Evil

There was once a time when it was widely believed the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth. Now we know better and most reasonable people have rejected these ideas. Similarly, most people have rejected the once widely accepted idea of slavery, and rightfully so. If you’re like most people, your government high school history classes probably taught you that slavery was abolished years ago. Government people wouldn’t lie to you, would they?

The book you are about to listen to explodes the myths of government. Its message is simple:

“Government is an unnecessary evil and freedom is the best and most practical way of life.” Spread this idea, and we can change the world. That is why I’ve taken the time to create this audio book. These days, many people do not have time to read and it would be a shame to allow such a brilliant work to continue to gather dust on the shelves of history.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment is the meme that kills.

It’s hard to imagine a person, killing millions, without the assistance of a “government” to help him.

Genocides, Purges, Killing Fields, and such are only possible by gooferment. Even religious wars can’t match the numbers.

Liberty and Free Markets allow humans to peacefully cooperate with each other.

MONEY: Keep rotating incumbents OUT!

Sunday, June 13, 2010

http://biggovernment.com/jboehner/2010/06/12/washington-democrats-out-of-control-spending-spree-needs-to-stop-now/

Washington Democrats’ Out-of-Control Spending Spree Needs to Stop. Now
by Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)

*** begin quote ***

“Waiting and hoping for the best is no longer an option, not when 43 cents of every dollar we spend this year is borrowed from our kids and grandkids. Our posterity shouldn’t have to foot the bill because Washington Democrats can’t do what they were elected to do or summon the courage to say no to special interests with their hands out.”

— Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) R response 6/11/10

*** end quote ***

Not that the R’s are any better than the D’s.

Our only defense is to start the carousel. Keep rotating incumbents OUT!

A marginal nutcase is better than these corrupt politicians.

Sorry, but, if we cant have NO government, then we have to have a lot less of it.

1. End the personal and corporate dole;

2. Dismiss gooferment public education;

3. Stop the various wars — foreign and domestic;

4. Repatriate the troops home;

5. Downsize ALL gooferments;

6. Eliminate all taxes but tariffs and excise.

and

7. Prosecute the “retired” and current politicians for “treason and sedition” against the Constitution. Make them pay off the debt that they ran up on our “credit card”.

Argh!

Lest you think I don’t have a solution, I do.

Get off fiat money. Go back to the Constitutional gold / silver standard. Payoff the debt by a federal “yard sale” of assets. Issue 30, 40, 50, and 100 year bonds to “paper the debt”.

No more “unfunded liabilities”.

A moral promise was made in Social Security and to a certain extent it has to be fulfilled. BUTT (there’s always a big but) it may not be paid off at 100¢ on the dollar. Especially if your name is Donald Trump. We may have to do a means test on those who have been unjustly enriched by the prior political class decisions.

Unwinding this mess is going to be ugly, but we don’t have a lot of choice.

If they can do it in Chile, we can do it here!

POLITICAL: Remember who discriminates — the Gooferment!

The right to discriminate
Posted: June 02, 2010
Walter E. Williams

*** begin quote ***

An interesting example is found in an article by Dr. Jennifer Roback titled “The Political Economy of Segregation: The Case of Segregated Streetcars,” in Journal of Economic History (1986). During the late 1800s, private streetcar companies in Augusta, Houston, Jacksonville, Mobile, Montgomery and Memphis were not segregated, but by the early 1900s, they were. Why? City ordinances forced them to segregate black and white passengers. Numerous Jim Crow laws ruled the day throughout the South, mandating segregation in public accommodations.

*** end quote ***

The racist need control of the guns of gooferment to make us all racists!

Keep Your Health Plan Under Overhaul? Probably Not, Gov’t Analysis Concludes
By DAVID HOGBERG AND SEAN HIGGINS, INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 06/11/2010 07:32 PM ET

*** begin quote ***

Internal administration documents reveal that up to 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage because of ObamaCare.

*** and ***

A White House official told IBD: “This is a draft document, and we will be releasing the final regulation when it is complete. The president made a promise to the American people that if they liked their health care plan, they can keep it. The regulation, when finalized, will uphold that promise.”

*** end quote ***

Yeah, take a politician’s promise to the bank.

Here we have an example of the deceit of the political class!

INTERESTING: A one minute osprey video

Saturday, June 12, 2010

http://www.flixxy.com/bird-aerodynamics-mastery-of-flight.htm

An osprey figures out how to remove the drag in air-resistance that the fish is causing. From the BBC series ‘The Life of Birds’.

# – # – #

A one minute video that is impressive, thought provoking, and ultimately (to me) very interesting.

Makes me wonder.
