» All Falling Down . . .

Integral to public debt are two eternal truths: a public demands of the state ever more subsidies, and those who pay for them shrink in number as they seek to avoid the increased burden.
...
the melodramatic language of people dying, starving, being ignored, etc. increases as the level of government services expands as the fears of public insolvency spread: in the late 1930s our grandparents thought tiny sums from social security were lavish godsends, now we assume a temporary suspension in cost-of-living increases on top of generous pay-outs is nothing short of a national disaster and proof of our collective selfishness.

» It Took Just Minutes To Find Profound Stupidity In Pelosi's Bill

The message of the bill is that whatever you do, if you want to grow your business without paying the health care tax, do not add employees.

Obama does not understand these provisions ... Obama does not understand the difference between profit margins and wages.

I don't think Obama and the other Democrats are lying about this aspect of the health care tax. They truly do not understand how the private economy works. In their blissful ignorance they are designing job-killings provisions which they do not understand.

» The Insanity of the House Bill

To sum it up, the House bill is nothing but a massive, uncontrolled federal entitlement expansion — at a time when the central, looming threat to the nation’s long-term prosperity is the unaffordable health-care entitlements already on the federal books. To create the impression of fiscal responsibility, the bill is jury-rigged with budget gimmicks, implausible eligibility rules, and arbitrary, government-dictated price controls — that have been tried repeatedly without success — to make it look like it costs “only” $900 billion over a decade.

There’s a new, nearly $500 billion income-tax increase, aimed at high-income households. Of course, many of these households own businesses, and so the Democrats are planning a heavy new tax on just the individuals who may be in a position to do some hiring in a recession.

» A vanished Britain:

Imagine a country where doors are left unlocked, children play in the street and people really do look out for each other. Fantasy? No, Britain just 50 years ago.

The authors remember the British society that existed before the infection of liberalism and multicultural suicide. They touch the root of the problem at the end without identifying it.

Teachers who were afraid to discipline thuggish minority of Asian pupils for fear of being branded racist

The authors of this piece came very, very close to some spade-calling journalism. A bold and factually accurate headline would have been:
Typical red-headed white boy Brit, hammered into retardation by gang of muslims.
But I guess they do the best they can under the circumstances.

» Thousands of nursery school children branded racist by teachers... before they know what the word means

After that miserable review of British society, it's easier to just turn over and try to remember the good old days when Brits were hammer-proof, when they had nads ....
It’s very hard to imagine a Captain Freddy Spencer Chapman existing today

Dont 'mis-conscrew' the target of my anger here. I've always admired the British. Imagine the Brits that stood up in the burning rubble of their cities in the 30's and raised a middle finger to the Nazi-Kraut war machine. Contrast them to their descendants who roll over and cower from teenage hoodlums with hammers - and then KNOW that their current state of pussdom is a foreshadowing of America's very near future ... assuming we remain politically correct, obedient and never, ever question our liberal lords.

cuz, ya know, we dont wanna go and insult any minorities by pointing out the obvious. 'specially those 'undocumented democrats' from further south ...

In closing, Noel at ColdFury sezs: The English people used to dissolve governments and elect new ones. Now, their governments dissolve them, to elect a new people. I’m sure it will all work out fine.

Speaking of Krauts and hammers ....

Charles Krauthammer demonstrates, again, his unwillingness to roll over and sing the mmmm mmmm mmmm song ...

» Of course it’s socialized medicine! And that’s a good thing.

I feel much better now, don’t you? Now I understand that socialism is just charity on broader terms. So what if it’s forced charity? And really, it’s silly to worry about the government using the IRS and its penalties to force this “charity” on everybody. ‘Cause really, life in socialized countries is fine. Just ask the citizens of the former Soviet Union, the former National Socialistic Party Germany (better known as Nazi Germany), the former Czechoslovakia, the former Poland, the former Romania, the former Albania, the current China, the current North Korea, the current Venezuela, the current Cuba . . . and on and on.

» Leaked Document Shows Murtha, Rangel and Dozens of Others Are Under Congressional Investigation

The most prominent lawmaker under investigation, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., has been interviewed about his personal finances, the document showed... Earlier this month, the committee announced it authorized nearly 150 subpoenas in the Rangel investigation, interviewed 34 witnesses, produced 2,100 pages of transcripts, reviewed and analyzed more than 12,000 pages of documents and held more than 30 meetings.

Murtha, Moran, Visclosky, Dicks, Kaptur, Young, Tiahrt, Mollohan, Waters, Harman ...
Geez, it would be easier, and quicker, to list the ones that aren't crooked.
