"We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move"


stunning truth...  to bad to many Americans already feed at the government trough...  or else they might get voted out of office...

Is Rush an Asshole?

its

That is the poll question on a facevook poll.  So far two thirds say he is an asshole.  I voted No.  In the comments this lovely individual gives this little comment.  Let me say upfront I do not mind all his misspellings, as I am no one to talk...  I will assume its just quick netspeak that caused all the errors...

Wesley KraaySep 7

i can understand why all the racists and so called religous right people love him because they also think that nobody has the rigt to live unless they agree with what they want. will be intresting to see them explan to god why they were so filled with hate towards any one that they disagreed with. i find it interesting that consertive

will trample all over the rights of anyone they dont like and cry like little babys if everything doesent go their way.its also amazeing that facts only matter to the morons on the right but if you check the facts as reported on fox news its understandable because they dont check the facts. in ther narrow tiny little minds if they lie and preach there hate it must be the truth and all the midless follewers of theres

repeat all the lies and contiue spreading the hate .

What boggles the mind is how do they come up with this stuff?  Group racists with the "so called" religious right...  Then state that they love Rush because they also think no one has the right to live unless they agree with what they want?

WTF?

Is Rush and the religious right pro abortion?  Are they the people who believe in eugenics?  Are they the people who are saying for the other side to "shut up and move out of the way"?

"will trample over the rights of anyone they do not like"   

WTF?

Name someone Rush has denied their rights.  

 also amazeing that facts only matter to the morons on the right but if you check the facts as reported on fox news its understandable because they dont check the facts

What?  So facts do not matter?  Because only the morons on the care about facts?  But then you are a fact checker of the facts on FOXNEWS....


Wow...  Who is the moron?

Yglesias...

There he goes, whitewashing the unethical.  In his post Strange Hypocrisy he sees nothing wrong with the powers "that be" changing the rules whenever it suits them.

In 2004, Massachusetts changed its laws to prevent Republican Mitt Romney from appointing John Kerry’s replacement in case he became President. Now it’s 2009, the Governor of Massachusetts is a Democrat, and Ted Kennedy is dead so the state legislature is considering changing the rule back so that Deval Patrick can appoint an interim Senator to serve in Kennedy’s place.

 This is being described in some quarters as “hypocritical,” which really strikes me as silly.

Probably there should be a uniform national system for filling senate vacancies. But instead, we leave it up to state legislatures. Given that legislatures have been granted this discretion, it would be perverse of them to refuse to actually use it when doing so is crucial to advancing what their constituents want.

 I wonder who he thinks "we" are?  Oh but come on...  The people have spoken, we all know they want what the Democrats want!!!  In this case the Constitution gives each state the right to create it's own system...  So go ahead and abuse that power.  I assume he is right though, in that the people of Massachusetts wont give a rats ass about how unethical this is. They wont be turned off by their politicians as long as they keep scamming to stay in power...  Ethics are for losers!

Once it is politically expedient Yglesias will be defending the opposite position...

The Left is looking for an exciting news story.

Moe Lane has it right.  this clip is so distorted...  Then the comments are so far off what they are really showing...   What can they want, if not atleast an attempt to be made?  This is so made up and out of thin air...  Those of us who have seen the uncropped video know it is a black man...

Stunning...

What? I do not believe it!

"(Canadians) have to understand that the system that we have right now - if it keeps on going without change - is not sustainable," said Doig.

Who is Doig you ask?  Only the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association.

 "We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize," Doing said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

Yet the Liberal progressives are running towards such a system.  Read the whole article.

A few words from Obama

"Health care is really hard. This is not easy. I'm a reasonably dedicated student to this issue. I've got a lot of really smart people around me who've been working on this for months now," he said. "There is no perfect painless silver bullet out there that solves every problem, gives everybody health care for free. There isn't. I wish there was."

Oh, OK, what was I thinking?  My uneducated, misguided self must hand over my right to dissent and disagree because he knows what he is talking about...  and if he doesnt know, He has "really smart people" who do.

Go ahead, take capitalism out of healthcare...

,,,Hell, Hand basket.

Don't go Crowley

"After all, I first proposed that Sgt. Crowley and I meet as early as last Monday," Gates continued. "If my experience leads to the lessening of the occurrence of racial profiling, then I would find that enormously gratifying. Because, in the end, this is not about me at all; it is about the creation of a society in which 'equal justice before law' is a lived reality." 


Huh?


You are the person who needs to learn something!!!!


I agree 100 percent with Sistertoldjah.  


Don't go Crowley.

Read the cap and trade bill Mrs energy Czar?

The good guys win one.

William A. Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection has a post about the Supreme Court' Ricci decision.  When I think of the case all I could think of was how our society was going to let reverse discrimination stand.  It was going to be OK to deny whites something merely because another race's applicants for a promotion couldn't pass muster.

Whenever a Liberal sees a minority not pass muster the liberal assumes bias in the examination.  So we have to jump through hoops to prove the opposite.  That in itself is discrimination!!!

Perhaps this will led to the end of quotas.

What? Canada Health Care System couldn't take care of newborn??? I am Shocked!!!

I cannot believe this story.....

HAMILTON — A critically-ill premature-born baby from Hamilton is all alone in a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital after she was turned away for treatment at local facility and transferred across the border without her parents, who don't have passports.

Ava Stinson was born Thursday at St. Joseph's Hospital, 14 weeks premature.

A provincewide search for an open neonatal intensive care unit bed came up empty, leaving no choice but to send the two pound, four ounce baby to Buffalo.

Now let's think this through.  Hamilton has a population of 750,000...  But has no open neonatal bed...  Hamilton is over 70 miles from Buffalo...  But just over 40 miles from toronto. Toronto has a population of 2.5 million, but no open bed...  The greater Toronto area is 25 percent of the total population of Canada, but no open bed....

Yet Buffalo did.  Buffalo is the first major city you get to coming out of Canada from Hamilton.  They didn't have to fly into the heart of America to get the care, they just had to cross the border.

Yet people still want that system here...

Via Memeorandum - A north of the border perspective....

I won't get into the relative merits of the American and Canadian health-care systems here. Suffice it to say that there obviously need to be more neo-natal intensive care unit beds up here. Thankfully -- and this doesn't mean that the American system is better (after all, at least the couple and their baby are guaranteed care up here, thanks to our public system, even if it's not perfect) -- there was an opening south of the border.

Such utter crap....  then in the comments...

Neo-natal care for a premature infant? Why doesn't every hospital in North America have specialized equipment costing millions for use in rare cases, which in most communities will almost never happen? Maybe if Canada had some fine American style Republicans to give them millions of uninsured citizens, but at least you can enjoy the tax cuts, if you were rich.

Nice rant... "rare" huh?  Well we better get used to that term, because it will be rare to get good service in the USA once we adopt a system similiar to Canada's.

Wanna puke? read on...

Look at this crap.

California's Fiscal Crisis: The Legacy of Proposition 13

...at the root of California's misery lies Proposition 13, the antitax measure that ignited the Reagan Revolution and the conservative era.

In other words, The reason why California is in trouble is because the bastards in Sacramento can't easily take more of my hard earned money.  Screw you buddy.

raaacism!!!

Skids and Mudflap are evidence that Michael Bay is a racist. Gotta be after all...

"They don't really have any positive effect on the film," she (Tasha Robinson) said. "They only exist to talk in bad ebonics, beat each other up and talk about how stupid each other is."

Hollywood has a track record of using negative stereotypes of black characters for comic relief, said Todd Boyd, a professor of popular culture at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, who has not seen the "Transformers" sequel.

"There's a history of people getting laughs at the expense of African-Americans and African-American culture," Boyd said. "These images are not completely divorced from history even though it's a new movie and even though they're robots and not humans."

Atleast this article points out the truth, that it is making fun of American culture and not just Black American culture.

Actor Reno Wilson, who is black, voices Mudflap. Tom Kenny, the white actor behind SpongeBob SquarePants, voices Skids.

Wilson said Wednesday that he never imagined viewers might consider the twins to be racial caricatures. When he took the role, he was told that the alien robots learned about human culture through the Web and that the twins were "wannabe gangster types."

"It's an alien who uploaded information from the Internet and put together the conglomeration and formed this cadence, way of speaking and body language that was accumulated over X amount of years of information and that's what came out," the 40-year-old actor said. "If he had uploaded country music, he would have come out like that."

It's not fair to assume the characters are black, he said.

"It could easily be a Transformer that uploaded Kevin Federline data," Wilson said. "They were just like posers to me."

Instead of accepting the fact that that style has spread into all races in America, some want to claim racism? I guess it is just par for the course...

Go watch the movie, then tell me you haven't see the same style used by someone other than a black person. The actor points to Federline as an example. How many more can you name? Oh and check this out from the same article...

Todd Herrold, who watched the movie in New York City, called the characters "outrageous."

"It's one thing when robot cars are racial stereotypes," he said, "but the movie also had a bucktoothed black guy who is briefly in one scene who's also a stereotype."

Oh, so now bucktoothed black people can't get acting roles? Would a bucktoothed white southern be OK? Did these same idiots complain about Bubba in Forest Gump? If not why not?


Revenge of the fallen... Going to love the movie....

Abortionist murdered.

From KMBC via RSM;

Attorney Dan Monnat said Tiller, 67, was shot at about 10 a.m. as he served as an usher during morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller's wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.

 My take on this is simple.  This is a man who performed legal acts of abortions and was killed by a murderer.  Apparently they found the killer and soon we will know who he is and why he killed Tiller.

Now the wackos on both sides of the right to life debate are coming out of the woodwork...  The abortionist are already using this to try and claim the moral high ground...

I say everyone should wait...  What if it was Tiller's Gay lover?  Not that I am saying it was...  but then what?

Update....  Looks like its a guy named Scott Roeder...  googled him, found this ...

Profile of Scott R.

Full-Time, 0 Years of Experience

I haven't cared for seniors professionally, but am looking for a position to do so. I'm 50 years old myself, and feel I have the life experience, maturity and desire to provide compassionate and complete care to the elderly and those who are in need.

and this. ..

July 7, Kansas: Scott Roeder is sentenced to sixteen months in state prison for parole violations following a 1996 conviction for having bomb components in his car trunk. Roeder, a sovereign citizen and tax protester, violated his parole by not filing tax returns or providing his social security number to his employer.

uh oh...  a wacko, so much for gay lover theory...  More to come
Update 5:44pm pst, looks like he belongs to a yahoogroup called hang2gether ....  its description

Sovereigns and concerned citizens

responding to tyrants in judicial actions.

overturning Kangaroo courts, Exposing

Governmental outrages and restoring freedom to politicaly abused and harased people..

When they took the 4th Amendment away

I was quiet because I didn't deal in drugs...

When they took the 6th Amendment away

I was quiet because I had never been arrested...

When they took the 2nd Amendment away

I was quiet because I didn't own a gun...

Now they have taken the 1st Amendment away

and all I can do is be quiet...

eh, so looks like it was a Right Wing Nutjob who killed Tiller.  Thanks buddy.  Thanks for giving the left another excuse to call all of us on the right loons.

taxes?

So we are going to pay for universal healthcare with new taxes on Soda .  I like what was said in the comments...

So this new tax would only be on the people that use sugar and make over $250,000 per year right, cause I definately remeber Obama saying over and over that no one that made less the $250K a year would pay more taxes...

Ah, but now, just like Clinton



They will start to stutter and stammer and talk about how this isn't a new tax, that it is a fee...  When they lose that battle they will say, "Hey, we were talking about no new payroll taxes, we NEVER said we wouldn't tax you other ways until you bleed!"

Then most Americans will accept the new tax because in their heart of hearts they new when we elected Obama we were going to get fleeced.

Obesity Bailout @ Yahoo! Video

Notice the Idiot?  Then for all of the Universal Healthcare nuts out there...  Did ya hear what she said?

If you Opt out of Medicare and Medicaid and promise to pay your own way......  Oh but idiots like you want there to be only one provider...  who will then set standards and limits on care....

The guy hits it on the head here...  Bad policy, bad way to fund your government...  Tax something and you will sell less of it...  Then you will look for the next thing to tax!!

Monday Morning Web surfing roundup....

First off I need to thank Smitty over at The Other McCain. He adds to me the rule 5 round-up this way....

Kirbside initiates a Rule 5 mystery. One only hopes the answer isn't too anticlimactic.

I know in terms of hit's, 100 in a day isnt much for many, It is the most this little blog has every gotten...  Now the trick is to keep them coming back for more...

Illegal immigrants deserve medical care for swine flu.  Gee thanks for the newsflash...  You are my hero...  I think I need to start a file of people who shouldn't be getting paid for what they do.  I work for a living, this guy is a joke.  Let's see, I have a deadline to meet, what should I write about?  Oh, Swineflu is big...  Illegal immigration is big (both in the news because of outbreak and mayday protests)  Lets combine them and through in Universal healthcare.  He then calls a few people and gets quotes like this...

"Swine flu knows no borders," notes Carmela Castellano-Garcia, chief executive of the California Primary Care Assn., an organization of roughly 700 clinics. "It pays no regard to income or immigration status."

So swineflu is just like the workers of the world...  They know no borders... 

Skelton goes on...

One can argue, as I have, that our borders should be protected and respected. People should come here the right way, legally. And, fortunately, the Obama administration has signaled its intent to crack down on employers who illegally hire undocumented workers.

Do we really want someone who's sneezing, coughing and exhibiting flu-like symptoms that are contagious to be trying to ride it out without seeing a doctor? Not if we're sane and attempting to contain an epidemic. Treating illegal immigrants -- or anyone else who's poor and uninsured -- is a practical imperative. Never mind the moral obligation.

All of this is just smokescreen and bullshit.
 
1. If someone is here in this country and needs care, help them.
2. Close the borders.
3. Jail the employers.
4. Deport the illegals.
 
There ya go, my 4 point plan to fix the problem of illegals and the swineflu.  Notice no special plan for the swineflu...  Number one covers it.  Now go ahead and tell me how we cant round up all the illegals....  I will then point you to entire towns of illegals.... 
 
Moving on...
 
On dealing with women...  RS McCain is currently in a heated discussion with some of the women of the Blogosphere  and writes a lengthy post on how to argue with women...
 
Sadly...  He gains no ground with the women in question...  One of them responds in the comments in regards to using the words "slut" and "whore"...
 

I think the terms, as you used them, are both gratuitously offensive and technically inaccurate. FWIW, my husband (a career Marine who's hardly a shrinking violet) agreed with me when I asked him what he thought. My Dad (career Naval officer) would not have been caught dead using those terms either.

Well, there you have it.  RS McCain should bow before such evidence...  Or not.  Sadly Cassandra continues the moral equivalence arguement....  While I have not read the whole back and forth, I did read Cassandra's post linked above...  As a true conservative I disagree 100%.
 
As a Society we have lost the value of shame.  I say call a slut a slut.  Now if your offended by that because men are not equally labeled I can live with that.  I say call them out as well, but do not lose the value of shame.  Problem is I think we have gone so far off the deep end that no one knows what shame is anymore... 
 
When someone promotes Whorism...  but calls it something else...  It is up to the rest of us to call it what it is...  Whorism.

....while surfin

While surfin the web I came accross some topics of interest....

Man shot dead outside London prison  2 things come to mind immediately...  1.  UK's gun control sure is working. 2.  Shouldn't the two bad guys already be in jail themselves?  Afterall it is said that the CCTV Cameras in the UK can follow and track everyone...  Oh let me guess, no cameras outside the PRISON!!!

Free school meals for 30,000 Newham pupils in bid to cut obesity another link about the UK...  but it is so telling in it's stupidity.  If those idiots cared to see what happens when you provide free meals they only need look at the California School system....

Oh yea, it does NOTHING for obesity...  But it does take from the workers and give to the non workers....

"Nationally, one in five eligible children does not take up free meals. Some officials believe this may be because of the stigma attached to pupils admitting they need financial help in front of classmates."

Don't worry, when you start handing it out to everyone they will all soon join in...

The problem with this program is that is won't be used instead of bad eating habits...  it will be added to their eating habits.

Free meals, foodstamps dont make for good eating habits...  it just gives free stuff to eat.  Then add it on top of the bad fastfood choices....

But foodstamps run low...  oh yea, the woman pictured here is starving!!  Or this guys picture of a line for people to get foodstamps in New Orleans.....  looks like they all are starving doesnt it.

Remember these people are food Inscure....   we must coddle them.


Via Memeorandum

MARK HALPERIN: OH NOES, A WOMAN MIGHT GET THE JOB!

Dana, you ignorant slut!!

To be serious for a moment, we should expect a whole lot more of this as the nomination process gets underway. But since there are so many eminently qualified women of all races, I have to assume that anybody who makes this complaint is really just, in their heart of hearts, offended by diversity and equality in representation.

Dana, to be serious for a moment, we on the right should never expect that those on the left would ever understand or care to admit their hatred of white men.

 "equality in representation" is another lefty code for Quotas.  I wonder how many Americans know how large companies are brow beaten into quotas?  How their facilites in geographic areas must match the demographics of an area?

That they can't just put out an ad in the paper, have people show up and hite them?  They are forced to seek out minorities... 

We will not be equal in America until we are judged on the content of our character, and not on the color of our skin or sex.

Fox News Tea party?

If this is all created by Fox News, aided by CNBC, Malkin and others....  Count me in!!!  They can contain themselves....  It is so funny how Bush = Hitler for years and years and years....  and it takes one protest from conservatives to get the MSM to say calling a Leader a Fascist is offensive....  Get a grip CNN.  I hope their rating drop off the chart!!! 

Where was She?

Wow....  calling Obama a fascist is "highly" offensive....  Where was she when they did that to Bush??? (Update: I just read here in the comments that she was joking around with a guy in a bush = hitler shirt at a 2006 protest...  Let me know if you see a video showing this so i can link!!! (WOW, found something.... she calls him a lookalike....   short clip...  but wasn't edited out or called offensive...  yea, she is impartial!!!!  Anti-CNN???  No, they are not Anti-CNN lady....  CNN is Anti-Them.

HotMES

Found HotMES From The Other McCain's Full Metal Jacket reach around award.  I will have to add her to the blogs I read.  The very first post I see feels so right.  The views she expresses are mine as well.

We must all take a stand on the issue of Immigration.  I stand with HotMES.

Bulbs, Lights out

Light bulbs.... My wife is always one to take a deal and run with it... somewhere in her daily life someone was pushing compact fluorescent bulbs and GAVE her a bunch. Fine... As shown in that link the wackos are finding their new bulbs to be whack!! Yet, if it is free to me all I am for it!!! She mentioned we should switch out the old for the new because they would save energy. I explained while that was true the old bulbs were brighter and I already paid for them... Even though it is true that we would save some money in the switch, what are we supposed to do with the still useable old bulbs??? So we have them as replacement bulbs.... Don't worry wackos we do not have many bulbs in our house as it is...

Here is my biggest problem... They want us to recycle them when we dispose of them... I say go back to the fucking drawing board and come up with something that doesnt need to be recycled unless that just means you put it in the blue trash can instead of the black trash can. The environitwits might have the time to sort their trash and hoard broken shit to be taken to a "green day pickup day" but i do not.... and do they really think that the majority of Americans will sort and keep their broken CFL's? Hell I have broken several of these bastards myself already... I know there is mecury in them so I was careful on the cleanup.... but how many Americans will be doing the same? They are forcing a dangerous item into the American household!!!

All Americans know, a bulb breaks... you sweep it up and put it in the trash!!! Not if its a CFL!!!! Get out the haz mat suit and clear the room!!!!! Then clean it up and put all the materials, as well as the cleaning materials into a sealed container!!!! Yea, that is going to happen!!!

BAN THE CFL... go back to the drawing board come up with something that will work!!!

Update

Oh yea, on topic today is the day we are going to have earth hour. oh goodie.... I wonder how many CFL's are going to be broken as they go to switch them off!!!!

According to the article i linked above we should...

Make it fun by having dinner by candlelight, taking a stroll under the stars, or playing card games by a fire

Candles? you want us to burn candles? What about this or this or this?

Playing cards by a fire? You want us to burn a fire to symboloze love for earth? I thought the burning of items was what we were trying to stop!!!!!!

Methinks the nitwits need to circle the wagons and try again.

Now for the record the lights will be off in my house... not because someone told us to, but because we only have them on when we need them... Because we like to save Money.

John J. Miller over at the Corner has similiar reasoning.

Roger Ailes is a moron who thinks.... if it doesnt happen in his life it doesnt exist.

If someone bitches about it on the internet, it must be true.

I've been using CF bulbs for years. I've never had one fail to work or burn out prematurely. In fact, I've bought them on sale (4 for a dollar) and the problem I have is that I've got a bunch of them sitting on a shelf because the current ones haven't burnt out. Based on my experience, therefore, CF bulbs are infallible.

You just happen to be perfect while I suck... So in my suckness when i break a standard bulb I just sweep it up.... When i break a CFL I need to evacuate the area!!!! Being that there are more idiots like me, and not perfect like you... Shouldnt we reconsider the CFL's?

Ah then there is this Freddie doesn't like the article at all!!! He would rather wait for studies that will be slanted to prove that CFL's are great... and they only fail because of the consumer... Notice his comment...

You see, most people are stupid, and don’t have any clue how to evaluate data.

I agree on that Freddie, and that is why CFL's should be banned. Stupid wins out. Stupid will break the CFL's and then let their kids inhale nice quantities of Mercury....
