Self-composed

I never grow tired of explaining why socialism, wealth redistribution - whatever you want to call it - won’t work. This is good because there is a seemingly endless supply of people in this country who don’t get it. They see the government (and some of the less shallow-minded even see the high achievers by extension) as an endless font of revenue that can and should be exploited endlessly until all our wants and needs are met.

Let me guess: The narrative on the left is about to change. So far its been all gloating and giggles and verbal high fives because this joker “was brave enough to express his righteous anger…blah blah blah.” Now it will be all about how horrible and brutally Zaidi is being treated

A man in the UK has strangers - bureaucrats in government making life and death decisions about his health care. They were forced into deciding whether to spend a bunch of money on keeping one man alive or spend the money on the health care needs of dozens or hundreds of other individuals.

The great statesman isn’t off to a very good start proving that he wants to put behind us the “pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics.” (Obama’s words. See the transcript of his victory speech Tuesday night.) He’s damn good at reading the nice speeches written for him on a teleprompter, too bad he can’t remember what he reads and practice what he preaches.

This is Big Brother folks. He sucked you in by promising to take care of your every need, now he’s telling you what your body will be like and punishing you financially if it doesn’t meet government approval.

I got to wondering today - does Obama have anyone in his orbit he doesn’t have to make excuses for, deny affiliation with, or demand is off limits? Is there anyone in this man’s life who has influenced him, taught him, advised him, or just been his friend, who Obama is comfortable putting in front [...]

Thy hypocrisy is stifling. I’ve seen liberals post about what great strategy Obama employed in opting out. Talk about a short memory.

Write this stuff down folks. Put it in a file. Save it to your hard drive. Whatever. It’ll be fun pulling it out in four years after Obama and friends have put this country in the dirt, when America will be desperate to chuck money at and vote for anyone or anything that doesn’t have a “D” by their name.

“These children also could sign up for the HMSA Children’s Plan, which costs about $55 a month.” $55 - that means dropping the premium cable channels, no more going to the theater (or no more popcorn when you do), no more fast food and dining out, two hours of work per week at a minimum wage job, or maybe it means no more smoking, alcohol, or drugs.

I want things to stay as they are where the market is controlled by consumers. But, if we have to go down that other road, politicians shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind those in the media who are sympathetic with them. Liberal dominated media organizations shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind a facade of neutrality.

Something tells me those who promote the Fairness Doctrine will not like my proposals. They like the idea of neutering those who are most effectively spreading the conservative message, but they most definately don’t want both sides given equal time across all formats. They don’t want half of thet New York Times written by conservatives. They don’t want half of the NBC Nightly News hosted and reported by conservatives.

Why this treatment? Because Joe’s message is powerful and they need to defang it. Joe is the face of what’s wrong with Obama’s economic policy proposals.

The fact this private citizen expressed himself while the media happened to be recording is enough mandate to go digging through this guy’s private life and present it to the world.
