    And your taxes still go up, grams still loses her current medicare plan, your bosses taxes still go up and he takes it out on you, some guy in a marble building in a blue suit will tell you you have to buy approved health insurance, all while we run up debt to do it.

    The Declaration grants us this right also.

    That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on

    such principles*

    and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

    The left has spent 40 years miseducating young minds in the classroom to not look at things like that.
    We need to reclaim the schools and deprogram students. They deserve a proper education. It is vital that they understand history and government. And how important the Constitution is.

    only if it’s done quickly – ie, before the govt option gets into full swing. once you have a significant portion of the population on the dole, there’s no getting them off. case(s) in point, social security and medicare.

    We need to reclaim the schools and deprogram students. They deserve a proper education.

    Life after school tends to wake them up, but for a large portion of the population its already to late. Once you have a generation or two hooked on govt. crack, you are not going to ween them off despite reality or consequences as the fear of the unknown will keep them in big brothers basement forever (while they suck the rest dry). All the while the demogogues keep their fear in the fore front with the “right wing boogey man going to take your benefits” tripe.

    Like Ayn Rand once stated, “you’de be surprized how many people would trade free speech for free dentures.”

    Correct. And I’d love to go into a 21-gun rant here, but let’s just say that the fact that this is happening is just as much the fault of the GOP as the donkeys. Reagan talked about reforming insurance and did nothing. They’ve had 30 years anyway, in which to change tax law and create a more rational system of incentives based on the concept of catastrophic insurance coupled with MSAs. But it was never a priority.

    The last chance to make this rational will be to introduce legislation that undoes this monstrosity in stages while at the same time incentivising catastrophic insurance/MSAs. If they don’t, the donkeys are going to be back, and next time, it’ll be worse.

    Politics: The water spigots are back on, at least temporarily, in California’s Central Valley. Turned off to protect a tiny fish, they happen to be in the districts of two congressmen “undecided” on health care reform.

    This isn’t the first time. To get them out of the “undecided” column in last December’s House vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership promised $500 million for a new University of California-Merced Medical School. Costa and Cardoza then voted “aye.”

    It’s the new “transparency”.

    I think not only health care but package delivery and education need to be turned over to the private sector. The private sector small and large businesses need to be turned loose on a host of services and technologies. The government should rather be focused on encouraging industries such as the semiconductor one to return to the States.

    POLITICO Breaking News:

    House Democrats have picked up critical health reform “yes” votes from a group of anti-abortion lawmakers, including Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, according to senior Democratic aides. Democrats believe a breakthrough with Stupak’s group – based on the promise of an executive order to be issued by President Barack Obama reinforcing a ban on federal funding for abortion – will help give them the 216-vote majority needed to pass reform on Sunday.

    DEMOCRATS ASKING FOR DEFEAT

    By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

    Published on DickMorris.com on March 21, 2010

    The Democratic Party’s decision to deform our health care system in the name of reforming it amounts to a suicide pact. With America decrying the legislation by 60-40 margins, the legislators lined up and dutifully drank the Kool-Aid.

    A few traitors who had previously passed themselves off as opponents of the legislation in the November vote turned their coats and revealed their true convictions by switching and voting no. These Congresspeople – who, at the moment, include Murphy (NY), Kosmas (Fla), Boyd (Fla), Kucinich (Ohio), Boccieri (Ohio), Nye (Va), and Markey (Col) – have made themselves special targets for our political wrath. They have painted targets on their backs with their cowardice in November and perfidy in March.

    The anger of the voters at this total disregard of public opinion will power Republican candidates throughout the nation and will impel one of the greatest reversals of Congressional alignment in history.

    But the aftershock of this political earthquake is yet to come. It will be upon us in the fall when Congress must decide whether to proceed with the Medicare cuts (particularly to cut in doctors’ reimbursement rates) or to postpone or cancel them and add the cost to the federal deficit.

    Either they will make a shambles of Medicare or a mockery of their pretense of fiscal responsibility. The cuts would force broad swaths of the medical community – physicians and institutions – to refuse to treat Medicare patients. Their cancellation of postponement would swell the deficit and underscore the cynicism with which President Obama characterized the plan as a great deficit reduction measure.

    This vote transforms the political landscape in a way that we have not seen in our lifetimes and the results will be cataclysmic for the Democratic Party. One hopes that the deals that the various members cut with the leadership to sell their votes included generous retirement packages. They’re going to need them!

    They have destroyed the will to work of many, now the ability to find work for many more and still politicians and people don’t get it. It’s not about ‘health care’, ‘racial equality’ or any ‘common good’.

    Iceland: volcano erupts, 500 people evacuated

    Volcano Erupts Under Eyjafjallajökull

    A volcanic eruption has just begun under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. This has been verified by local authorities in neighbouring Hvolsvöllur. Vísir reports that farms in the Fljótshlíð area and by Markarhlíð are already being evacuated. Locals in the area have confirmed that they are viewing flames and a steady stream of lava from the glacier.

    Eyjafjallajökull is an active central volcano. There is reportedly no recorded history of catastrophic eruptions in the area. The volcano last erupted 189 years ago and apparently caused a lot of ash fall in the area. Although speculation on the subject is pretty much useless (especially since your loving team of Grapevine reporters isn’t really comprised of geologists or anything, although we scored pretty well in the subject in high school), folks are saying that besides the ash fall the greatest danger lies in glacier bursts or runs stemming from all that hot hot heat melting the glacier. There might be a bunch of water flooding the area pretty soon.

    Money that is invested in equity is given to a business in the form of capital. The person who owns the equity owns a share of the business, and the value of the equity is based on the businesses’ ability to turn a profit, a portion of which it distributes in the form of a distribution. This ability to operate profitably is the major factor in the context of the value of a share of equity. When a business performs poorly, the value of the equity diminishes. So, at one point the equity can be worth more or less. Until it is made liquid, it only has a market value, not an actual value. That is determined when you sell it.

    @ teacake:

    Teacake, it’s all a matter of geography and the practicalities of transportation. Palin’s family lived in Skagway, Alaska. The town is a seaport, and the terminus of the White Pass and Yukon railway, which was built to access the Klondike goldfields. Whitehorse is on the rail line.

    Skagway had no hospital at the time; maybe it still hasn’t. So residents needing hospital care had to choose between taking a boat or plane to Juneau, or taking the train to Whitehorse. If severe weather was happening, the boat or plane trip could be difficult or impossible, but the train nearly always got through.

    Canada’s Medicare system was enacted in the early ’60s, IIRC, but it does not cover non-residents. So Palin’s family would have paid cash on the barrelhead for such treatment as they got.

    It’s a complete non-issue. The leftards are trying to paint Sarah Palin as a hypocrite for benefiting from Canada’s socialized medicine while opposing it for all Americans, but that is a complete lie.

    Ironically, here in Canada, Premier Danny Williams of Newfoundland is being painted as a hypocrite (accurately, IMHO) for having traveled to the USA to have stents installed in his arteries, instead of going onto a waiting list to have the procedure in Canada.

    From December, but apropos.

    When I consider the question of whether the free market corrodes moral character, I am forced to think very carefully. It is clear that the ferocious competition of interests and passions, the mad rule of money, and materialism as the measure of all things – in short, the free market, released from all rules and governed only by the greed of the most powerful – fatally corrodes our souls. This is what the great Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn thought at the end of his life.

    This view was shared by the family of French thinkers of the 1930s called the “nonconformists”, which included Charles Péguy and a few others. They saw commodity exchange as a source of depersonalisation. It was also the thesis of an entire group of Christian (or simply spiritualist) thinkers who saw in the idea of the “free market” the death of moral values and the end of man’s faith and aspiration to the absolute.

    It was also – and this should put us on alert – one of the main themes of fascism and one of the reasons the masses were seduced by it. “Stop materialism!” it was proclaimed. “Put an end to destructive individualism and the social atomisation against which fascism presents its good, safe, organic and natural communities!”

    When I was a teenager, we lived in Europe and the black market thrived. My dad, who worked for a major American company, use to pay employees in clothes and furniture purchases to get them to work overtime as the tax rates were so punitive. I also had a friend (not an American) who loved to “game the system” by working for three months and then go on unemployment for 9 months and go on traveling sprees. Mind you, I was a teen at the time, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth for socialism.

    You know, the stupidity never ceases to amaze me. $38.00 per month? Seriously? What a visionary.

    Meanwhile, here in Philadelphia, a bastion of lefty intellect, they are looking to add a 2 cent tax to every ounce of sugary soda. 12 ounce can, another 24 cents. A 64 liter bottle? $1.28. Hell, how many bottles do you think people will buy when the cost of a 2 liter more than doubles in price?

    The sheer eagerness for the kool-aid being ingested over there knows no bounds. I have no idea of what a hoosier’s annual income would be, but I am pretty sure once Obama plans to eliminate the Bush tax cuts in 2011, he can kiss that $38.00 goodbye. Did he also forget, Obama mentioned he was agnostic towards his claim of not passing a tax increase on that $250,000 mark either?

    The pseudo-intellectual, kumbaya Obama circle-jerk is bereft of anything resembling grade school economics over there.

    “Well all I know is I have this extra $38.00 dollars per month now that I did not have before, and life is great”

    Oh, your electric bill went up? Oh, your gas bill went up? Oh, you fuel bill went up? Oh, we are sending our children into financial indentured servitude as far as the eye can see, in order to score political points, put more people on the public dole, and chase business away from this country?

    re: #232 eclectic infidel

    While I wait for the page to load, thought I’d mention that I received an email from a friend who claims that Obama Administration is orchestrating an arms embargo against Israel. Has anyone heard about this?

    Yes. We talked about it here a couple nights ago. Basically, it appears that some website made something up, or misinterpreted a JINSA report.

    There is no embargo.

    One last thing. Obviously, I have now made the mistake of reading over there, and my brain just hurts now. Since there is one way to answer stupidity, here goes: (It is futile, I know)

    As someone who feels they support Israel, (hell, it is in your nic) you need to open your eyes as to the degrading situation of diplomatic ties between the United States, and Israel.

    Open your damn eyes, and recognize that we just excoriated Israel for building apartments. Yes, apartments. That dastardly act of defiance, thumbing her nose to the world, her agreement to the United Nations, and every other act against humanity. How dare they build more housing? Bastards.

    Yet, we ask for unclenched fists, all the while Iran is in violation of her agreement to the IAEA, as well as the United Nations.

    In 2008, we agreed to allow Israel to purchase some serious munitions, obviously on the heels of the Lebanon war, this threat was front and center.

    Well, they are going to protect Diego Garcia now. What will be the excuse when we deny them the ability to fly over Iraqi air space?

    The facts are right in front of you, yet you refuse to acknowledge them. you refuse. We are tying Israel’s hands. The administration is solely responsible.

    We got tough with them over some fucking apartments. You would think a covert nuclear weapons program would at least draw the same ire.

    You are right, there is no monetary incentive for the government to deny medical care to old sick folks who are a big drain on the welfare system and are no longer “productive” as in paying taxes type of citizens.

    And that’s why all countries that have socialized medicine also have “right to die” laws, cause there is no monetary incentive in doing that, its about dignity or something.

    And those liquor and cigarette taxes known as a sin tax, they are there just for shits and giggles. Cause again there is no monetary incentive in discouraging such behaviors.

    It must suck to be quite as dumb as space cadet. But then ignorance is bliss.
