Just Study The ObamaCare Template -' It's Very Good!'

Hey, He didn't build that!  There's no Building in www.Obama.gov
But Old # 44 went all Billy Mays on America yesterday and I caught it, along with a bugger of flu bug.

"There's no sugarcoating it. The website has been too slow. People have been getting stuck during the application process," Obama said. "There's no excuse for the problems. ... These problems are getting fixed."  . . .

"While the website will ultimately be the easiest way to purchase insurance though the marketplace, it isn't the only way," he said. He added that more staff have also joined the exchanges' call centers, which have been reached by calling 1 (800) 318-2596.

Explaining ObamaCare and the HHS Abortion Mandate

When life needs a guide-book, there is no better source for context or compelling narrative to ease one through the twisted maze than poetry. The Song of Solomon, The Pslams, Essay on Man, Paradise Lost, Absolam and Achitophel, Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot have helped me at times. When that failed, I generally turned to prayer (real poetry) and if that failed, I did some yard work or scrubbed out the shower stall. Poetry generally works.

It is tough to get one's head around the Obama Administration - regime more accurately - and its insistence upon group think and the Constitution.

However, only the poet Adam Rex seems to have his delicate fingers on the pulse political and fully explains the nature and intent of the Obama Regime and Big Government itself.

When Frankenstein
prepared to dine
on ham-and-cheese on wheat,
he found, instead,
he had no bread
(or mustard, cheese, or meat).
What could he do?
He thought it through
until his brain was sore,
And thought he ought
to see what he could
borrow from next door...

Rex 2006

Single User Government Run Hygiene Will Follow the Tipping of Guam

“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” Hank Johnson, (D-GA)

Guam has been occupied by the Spanish, the Americans, the Japanese and is an American Territory. My Dad still carries Japanese grenade fragments that he got as souvenirs on Guam from July 21st through Oct. 1945, with a trip to Iwo Jima in between.

I wrote a novel, read by tens of people, centered on Guam.

Today, a Georgia Congressman warned that Guam might tip over. Thoughtful.

Hank Johnson begged America to get behind Obama Care. This intellectual Giant just might help President Obama earn government control over all of us beasts of the earth.

Hank, you are a caution.

VAT You Say? A VAT of Trouble That Makes ObamaCare Chump Change - "That" You Can Believe In

Andy Stern is driving the bus to a National Value Added Taxe (VAT). Andy Stern of SEIU is President Obama's navigator - on the Campaign Trail, on MSNBC, in the ObamaCare boondoggle and on the Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Really? You bet your life . . .your kids and grand kids as well.

Andy Stern did more to bankrupt California and soon Illinois than any one man.

Andy Stern will do that to America and President Obama is just fine with that too. President Obama is fine with this strategy because it is all about power - control of wages, jobs and everything else that follows.

The VAT is the heart of the snake.

At the start of March Madness, President Obama named Andy Stern to his VAT moving commission - there are some toothless Republicans on the commission as well - like Alan Simpson, but make no mistake Andy Stern is driving this VAT bus.

Fortune magazine warned us about the VAT -

It's not an option Americans understand, or ever hear debated much. In fact, most folks probably never heard of it. And if they had, they probably wouldn't want it, since it's the bulwark of an economic system alien to the American model -- the social democratic economies of Europe.

But the sheer scale of the expected numbers makes it practically inevitable that the U.S. will soon adopt a big VAT. It's the only vehicle capable of raising the money to cover the gigantic projected increases in spending and deficits.

Briefly, a VAT resembles a sales tax passed in the end onto the consumer at the register. But the government collects most of the money during the stages of a product's manufacture. Since manufacturers are writing the checks, it's an extremely efficient, virtually fraud-free way to collect money.

But it's never gotten much support in the U.S. for two reasons. First, it's a regressive tax: Low-earning families pay a bigger portion of their incomes than the wealthy. And second, the VAT -- first introduced by a French civil servant in 1954 -- has fueled the rapid growth of government in France, Germany, and even Japan. In fact, no other country spends the kind of money we're planning to spend without a VAT. The numbers tell the story.

Numbers, control and political will by the radical Democratic Central Committee are what it is all about. Jobs? Not gonna happen.

Repeal? Not gonna happen either.

The only thing that can stop Andy Stern's VAT Bus is awareness. People will vote and cat upon what they are aware of - example Chicago's media decided to 'pay no attention' to Lt. Governor Democratic Candidate Scott Lee Cohen. Likewise Chicago's Corporate Media went skittish on inquiry concern SEIU's part in the Blagojevich Fire Sale of Senate Seats. SEIU calls the tune and Corporate Media jigs heartily!

The Corporate Media ( MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC, New York Times, Washington Post & etc.) are on Andy Stern's VAT Bus - it so European.

However, Charles Krauthammer, the dignified medical professional psychiatrist, and political analyst, has been far ahead of the curve in warning about this danger to our country.

Obama knows that the debt bomb is looming, that Moody's is warning that the Treasury's AAA rating is in jeopardy, that we are headed for a run on the dollar and/or hyperinflation if nothing is done.

Hence his deficit reduction commission. It will report (surprise!) after the November elections.

What will it recommend? What can it recommend? Sure, Social Security can be trimmed by raising the retirement age, introducing means testing and changing the indexing formula from wage growth to price inflation.

But this won't be nearly enough. As Obama has repeatedly insisted, the real money is in health care costs -- which are now locked in place by the new Obama care mandates.

That's where the value-added tax comes in. For the politician, it has the virtue of expediency: People are used to sales taxes, and this one produces a river of revenue. Every 1 percent of VAT would yield up to $1 trillion a decade (depending on what you exclude -- if you exempt food, for example, the yield would be more like $900 billion).

You can not depend on the Corporate Media - the Cheerleaders for Doom.

John Kass Presents - Rep. Dan Lipinski, a Principled Catholic Democrat

Character may almost be called the most effective means of persuasion. - Aristotle

John Kass is the only genuine voice coming out of Chicago. He is one tough Greek. Kass has carved up people in public life whom I like, understand and admire and that is Okay, because he tends to be fair. John Kass never seems to begin an inquiry with a pre-packaged answer like most of our lazy and self-absorbed and snotty columnists in Chicago tend to do. John Kass is most like us - the helots - the working stiffs. Most of us try to be fair and sometimes when we are focused on a problem we make people unhappy. Tough.

Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
Aristotle

Like I said, John Kass is one tough Greek. He comes from working class, values working class, speaks working class and gets his hackles up when working class people get abused by Salonistas, Academics, political thieves, hypocrites and incompetents.

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
Aristotle

John Kass does not do group think - he's a tough Greek. Greeks continue to gnaw through the bones to get at the marrow and substance of life.

Congressman Dan Lipinski is Polish and comes from a working class family - the trade is government. Like plumbers, pipe fitters, carpenters, electricians, cops and firemen, government workers whether elected, appointed, hired or contracted know the trade, That is something beyond the understanding of the Progressive.

Progressives call Andy Stern of SEIU a labor leader, though he came to exploit workers as an organizer via Academia. Journalists love that because then they too can play at working class and make lots of money off the working classes.

The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes.
Aristotle


Last week, Congressman Dan Lipinski took a heroic stand against Obama Care. Cynics argue that he had "permission" from Axelrod and Rahm Emanual to vote the way he did.

Nonsense. Dan Lipinski showed me and my neighbors that he cared more for his faith and faith of his fathers than the American Quisling - Bart Stupak or to be thought well of frauds, phonies and MSNBC.

Now, SEIU and the corporate media are going flat-out to smear Dan Lipinski. Tough.

Greek tough guy John Kass presents the hard unvarnished truth -here is a tiny bit of John Kass on Dan Lipinski's heroic vote of principle. Click my post title for the marrow.

Lipinski's real problems are that he voted "no" and he upholds the teachings of his faith on abortion. These must surely be considered grievous secular sins in some quarters of the White House.

"And I thought we transcended the politics of the past. What happened?" Lipinski asked sarcastically.

He reports that in his predominately Catholic and conservative district, the support for his "no" vote is running 3-1 in his favor. If that's accurate, then he did the smart political thing by voting "no."

Smart politics or not, Lipinski is part of a tiny minority in his party. That bothers the White House, but it doesn't bother him.

The Weiners (D-NY & MSNBC) we shall have with us always - Dan Lipinski will have our votes.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Aristotle

Some DUMB Nuns - Back Abortion to Move on Bishops

Most Religious Sisters are the Brides of Christ.

The stupid ones recoil at that sobriquet.

I taught with some great nuns - women who understood their vows as well as the subjects that they taught. They were Sisters of Notre Dame. I worked with Springfield Dominican Sisters and they were equally matched to their vocations and their trade.

However, I have encountered many blithering idiots - females all - who took vows. One was an openly practicing lesbian and loudly bragged to high school girls about vive le differnce and Sapphic truth. She was also as dumb as hammered horseshit, sad to say. Another, allegedly a teaching order nun, wanted no part of the classroom and took to an Ashram - where, no doubt she was beaten to death by otherwise good people trying to find peace in a hostile world.

Abortion is murder. Simple. Just like, well gee, I think that Slavery was wrong. Too many Progressive Hegelian dimwits parse out horse manure that appears in Salon and The Nation and out of the mouths of some nuns.

Some nuns are really dumb. These are girls - probably now the youngest of them in their 50's - who were and are, as my County Kerry grandfather termed them, "Life's Unplucked Flowers." Perhaps they took vows decades ago 'to serve the Church' by being maladjusted pains in the ass and apply the principles of Hegelian Progressive Group Think to get at "The Old Boys Club" - The Bishops.

This is from the Progressive Feminist Nun's best pal CNN (Catholic Nitwit Nuns?):

"We write to urge you to cast a life-affirming 'yes' vote when the Senate health care bill (H.R. 3590) comes to the floor of the House for a vote as early as this week," a group of nuns wrote in a letter to members of Congress released Wednesday by NETWORK, progressive Catholic advocacy organization.

NETWORK said the 55 signatories represent tens of thousands of Catholic nuns in the United States.

The letter argues that the legislation "will make crucial investments in community health centers that largely serve poor women and children."

"And despite false claims to the contrary, the Senate bill will not provide taxpayer funding for elective abortions," the letter reads. "It will uphold longstanding conscience protections and it will make historic new investments – $250 million – in support of pregnant women. This is the REAL pro-life stance, and we as Catholics are all for it."

The nuns are siding with the Catholic Health Association, a group representing Catholic hospitals, which offered its support for reform earlier this week.

Both groups are diverging from the powerful U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which stepped up its criticism of the bill in recent days. The president of the bishops conference, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, said Monday that the bill's language on abortion is not restrictive enough to satisfy Catholics.

My guess is that there is a direct correlation between the Nuns for Obama Care and the Ordain Us Girls Faction. They could never get around to the fact that priests in the Catholic Church - the one that took vows to - are all males.

As it is girls, you took vows. So did I. I honored my wife until the day she went home to Christ and still do. You, Girls, are cheating on your vows - just like a drunken tom-catting husband might . . .but that you do not need to worry about.

What you Penguins need is a healthy dose of what you handed out to us recalcitrant scamps at Little Flower, Visitation, St. Sabina's and Christ the King . . .aside from the sociopathic whackings with rulers, bats and belts . . . a trip to see Father.

I hope the Good Bishops lay into you stupid broads with a will!

Like I said, most Religious Sisters - Nuns - are the Brides of Christ.

NETWORK is the name for the Nitwits
