David Leonhardt: Health Care Reform Complaints Expose Problems With Status Quo

Tuesday, October 5, 2010


Everyone will have access to health insurance.
===================================

Actually, that's not true.

It's also not what Obama and Democrats were put into power to do.  They were put into power to get affordable quality medical treatment for all.  Having insurance does not mean that you're able to get affordable quality medical treatment.

This was a great big gift to Big Insurance and PhRma.

The Jewish Problem With Obama: Part One of Five


What do you want, a long report?
===========================

Not necessarily, but if that's what it takes for you to articulate just what they "despise" him for, then take all of time and space you need.  We can't get to living together in peace, not one-on-one or between nations, until we understand what's preventing it.  

Words like "despise" are highly emotion-charged, and there isn't one side to issues like unemployment, the deficit and Israel, so when you toss those issues out as the reason for their "massive unhappiness", it still doesn't give me any clearer understanding of what their beef is about with Obama.  

I know what my problem is with Obama, and I would have thought that those you work with (attorneys) would have that same problem.  Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but I don't think I can get that information from you.

Firefighters Watch As Home Burns: Gene Cranick's House Destroyed In Tennessee Over $75 Fee (VIDEO)


It wasn't a tax. It was a privatized fire department.

Have you ever heard of the Common Good?

You put out all fires because they threaten everyone.

Firefighters Watch As Home Burns: Gene Cranick's House Destroyed In Tennessee Over $75 Fee (VIDEO)


The problem with your logic  is that this guy's house became the fuelant that threatened other houses.  What if the neighbor hadn't paid, and the neighbor's house went up in flames?  Now you have two houses that are threatening to engulf the neighborhood, becoming larger and more unmanageable.   So even those people who had paid, there are just so many personnel and equipment to put out a fire that has grown exponentially, and conceivably out of control.

That's what separates liberals' view of government and conservatives' view.  Services like firefighting, police, 911, etc., are for the Common Good, and should be non-profit.

DNC Raises $16 Million In September

Monday, October 4, 2010


By the way, did you know about this?  Explain it to me if you can:

How a Democratic president, on the heels of the most criminal and corrupt administration in the nation's history, does these things:

Obama didn't replace Bush-era US attorneys so now we get Bush-style obscenity prosecutions:

FYI - Presidents may fire US attorneys, and they do so routinely at the beginning of a new administration.  It is unusual to fire US attorneys in mid-term (as Bush did) except in cases of gross misconduct (which wasn’t the case during the Bush administration).

We need a real Democrat in the Oval Office, and real Democrats in Congress, instead of these DINOs.  With fire in their bellies to go after those who obstruct the People's business (Republicans), and not fire in their bellies to go after the Democratic Party's base.

DNC Raises $16 Million In September


You know yours is a non-response, don't you?

Nobody is more disappointed than I am about Obama's and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party's betrayal of the People.  

And unless Obama's 'most ardent supporters' get a clue, this 'noble experiment', this democracy, is over.  It already may be too late.  They really have gamed just about every angle to bilking every last penny from the middle and poor classes, and will have us in servitude forever.

We have little enough of a Constitutionally-guaranteed role within this democracy as it is.  We have the right to vote, but not to have our ballots counted.  The founders were nothing if not ironic.  

But now, right this very period, the weeks leading up to an election, voting, that's it for making our deals with the candidates.  This election is about what Obama and Democrats did with the mandate given them in 2008.  They're not even running on what they did, it's that bad.  They're running on Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell.  It's fear again, over 2 candidates, both of whom  are unlikely to win.  Even if they did, they're running as Republicans, wouldn't have any power, and would most likely do what Scott Brown did when he won Ted Kennedy's seat: Moved to the left, said, "Sarah Palin, who???"

Do you honestly believe that a girl who has been paying her bills off of the campaign contributions of clueless voters for years is any threat to the institution of government?

Obama sure made some deal with Lieberman -- Here's one of the many 'services' Lieberman has performed for Obama:

After Obama flip-flopped (one of many) on an issue he campaigned on (transparency and releasing the thousands of t0rture photos of detainees), he used Lieberman to slip it into legislation that gave the SoD the power to gut FOIA and bury the evidence forever.
