Wrongful Forfeiture

By your government, fedeeral or local. This is abuse. Plain and simple.

UPDATE: Free Speech Not A Right?

Apparently there are 4 NY state senators attempting to make free speech a privilege.

Dangerous road they are on. They should change their minds instead.

Link was misplaced before, sorry.

No Freedom For Catholics

How – repressively evil – of this President and Administration, specifically the Department of Health & Human Services under the guise of Katheleen Sebelious.

That’s right, I said it – evil. They know doggone well what the proposed regulation is about to do.

The proposed regulation, designed to implement part of Obamacare, will require all private health plans in the United States to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives–including those that cause abortions—without charging any fees or co-pay. …..
A “religious exemption” in the regulation is so narrowly drawn that it does not include any lay Catholics, or any Catholic hospitals, charitable organizations, or colleges or universities.

How dare they.

While the First Amendment is specifically intended that the federal government will not establish a nationally recognized religion (check history, because that is the original purpose), this administration is about to impose rules that violate ethics and morality of a specific religion at the very least. By design.

That. Is. Evil.

Notice I am not mincing words here.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does Part 3

Valerie Jarrett said, “The Point of Government Is to Give People a Livelihood so They Can Provide for Their Families.”

And she is a senior advisor to the President? Puh-lease.

Don’t believe this? Video at the link. She said it 9/21/11.

Should Suspending Elections Be Joked About?

Hhhmm, ask the Democrat Governor, Beverly Perdue, of North Carolina what she thinks about that.

Apparently, she thinks it so important to focus on jobs, she “recommends suspending congressional elections for the next couple of years.”

Later in the article, her press secretary said she was joking.

Tain’t funny, Guv. Apparently, you have to have someone else explain yourself, rather than you.

Medicaid Caps Benefits

Don Surber nails it in his post – Gazette misses the story.

But the bigger story was this “he received a notice saying he had exceeded his allowable charges.”

So the recipient had to dig up the data to learn the government was getting billed by caregivers that never visited him. Maybe it is too much to expect the government to find such details themselves, but here Don Surber notes the additional fallacy of the presumption on the part of the news paper itself.

That ” … the Gazette noted that this would not happen if we had universal health insurance.” And who would be the source of the universal health insurance?

Obamacare is attempting to be such. It is the government.

In other words, not only would nothing change, it would get even worse.

New Healthcare Rules

Which one first?

Got asthma? Prepare to have to use new “greener” inhalers. Namely because the EPA is going to ban the use of over the counter inhalers that will enlarge the ozone holes at the planet’s poles. Which means you are back to prescription-only, more expensive, inhalers.

And then, there’s this:
In a proposed rule from Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the federal government is demanding insurance companies submit detailed health care information about their patients.

I don’t know, sounds strangely familiar to something like, registering all of our bodies, as if we were firearms.

I do not trust these people. At all. How about you?

UPDATE: An Idiot Judge

According to Wisconsin Judge Patrick J. Fiedler, you do not have a fundamental right to consume the food you grow or own or raise.

Really? Wow. According to this nimrod, he would likely think we don’t have the right to breathe, either.

Check out, The Food Renegade, for the rest of the story.

Additional links (since someone complained about the first, but it isn’t broken):

When they asked him to clarify his statement, these were his words:

“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;”
“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;”
“no, Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice…”

The Killing of Kelly Thomas

WARNING: Graphic images. Not for the faint of heart.

Solar Poker

And naturally, and succinctly, Hot Air has an excellent summary as well as additional meat (er, links) to tell us about Solyndra’s grant, um, winnings.

You know, I’ve mentioned it before – to others and elsewhere – that this administration headed by Obama, has what I call the Un-Midas Touch. Damned if I’d gamble with these folks.

How many times has the White House handed over lots of our tax money to companies that later failed? Anybody keeping track?

Well, there’s the Caterpillar company, wasn’t that first? But now, with the current one – meaning Solyndra – here we have the FBI investigating the company & the home of its CEO. We hear rumblings how the CEO is such a good contributor to the Obama campaign.

But, oh wait, then why would the FBI raid Gibson and take product – when THAT CEO wasn’t a contributor (yet Gibson’s competition is)????

Perspective, I guess. Not sure I care for 1600’s view on legalities, though. Especially when the prior administration shelved the notion of giving to Solyndra. Yet Obama and company decided not to follow that road correctly.

Amazing.

Remember November 2012.
