A Nod To The Gods

I for one have had a gut full of this GOP smarmy bullshit. Time and again we watch as these asshats banter on about standing their ground and not caving into left wing democratic demands. Alas, the rats are swimming for higher ground. Time for the third party  Tea Party to stand up and be counted.

Members of Congress have been on recess for only a few days, but it already seems the time away from Washington means more support for a pathway to citizenship among some Republicans.

In the past few days, two Republican members of the House of Representatives — Daniel Webster in Florida, Aaron Schock in Illinois — have expressed preliminary support for a way to legalize undocumented immigrants and allow them to eventually earn full citizenship. Even the House GOP whip, Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), announced support for legal status, although he stopped just short of supporting full citizenship.

My apologies to Dr. Seuss and the destruction of his work.

THE PRESIDENT:  If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else.  And we’ll lose jobs.  Businesses won’t locate here.

 

 

Had to pile on. Even if he did not know where they were specifically I certainly would not be spouting off locations on national television. Dumbass.

\As if the racial division wasn’t strong enough, these people keep stoking the fires. Isn’t it time POTUS came out and said the trial is over, the verdict is in, get over it. If Zimmerman were found guilty do you think we would be climbing all over the media in protest? Remember the O.J. verdict, yeah, me too.

This son of a bitch killed Americans on a military base and they allow him to where a military uniform with a United States flag? He should be in a straight jacket with a gag. What is wrong with this country? It was bad enough a known terrorist act is called work force violence, but they allow this monster to where a uniform of the United States military? Heads would be rolling if I were in charge.

Another liberal elite useful idiot, backs public schools, won’t enroll his own kids in one.
 

Actor Matt Damon is a strong supporter of America’s public schools. Just two years ago, the star spoke passionately about the importance of public schools at a Washington DC “Save our Schools” rally. In fact, the actor is so impressed with public school teachers that he has demanded they receive a pay raise. That passion and conviction, however, does not apply to Damon’s own children who willnot be enrolled into the Los Angeles public school system.

In an interview with the Guardian published Saturday, Damon revealed that he had just moved to Los Angeles from New York, but that he didn’t “have a choice” when it came to putting his four daughters into private schools.  The multi-millionaire did say that it was “a major moral dilemma” and then made the bizarre excuse that the public schools aren’t “progressive” enough.

This would probably mark the first time anyone has ever complained that America’s public schools, especially in Los Angeles, aren’t left-wing enough.

The Guardian interview is part of the 42 year-old actors promotional tour for his upcoming sci-fi tentpole “Elysium,” which opens Friday.

According to early reviews, “Elysium” is a big-budget action film that condemns a future Los Angeles where the super-rich use their wealth and privilege to separate themselves and their families from the city’s poor.

Nice, that kind of movie should pull the country together…assholes.

If you read one article today, read this. A Nod to The Political Commentator for the story.

With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees… He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, “I am the MFIC.” The IC meant “in charge”. You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent (now more) African-Americans.

The arrogance of this man is staggering.
We can’t afford the government and it’s liberal policies as it is, and he thinks bigger is better? Then he blames the sequester? WHO CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA….oh that’s right, you did you idiot! I have tried staying away from the name calling but this guy is so incompetent and hell bent on running this country into the ground that calling him an idiot is actually an insult to idiots.

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama – citing the job losses since he took office — said “the economy would be much better off,” unemployment would be 6.5 percent and the national deficit would be in decline if there were more federal, state and local government workers.

“If those layoffs had not happened, if public sector employees grew like they did in the past two recessions, the unemployment rate would be 6.5 instead of 7.5,” Obama said. “Our economy would be much better off, and the deficit would still be going down because we would be getting more tax revenue.”

Obama spoke Tuesday at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he promoted plans he said would help the middle class such as corporate tax reform, increased federal spending on infrastructure, more education spending, public-private partnerships and rolling back the sequester.

“Instead of using a scalpel to get rid of programs we don’t need and keep vital investments that we do, the same group has kept in place this meat cleaver called the sequester that is just slashing all kinds of investments in education and research and our military,” Obama said.

“Yet all the things that are needed to make this country a magnet for good middle class jobs, those things are being cut. These moves don’t just hurt our economy in the long term. They hurt our middle class right now,” he added.– Read more .

 

 

“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

—-the beginning of “American Crisis” by Thomas Paine, which General George Washington read to motivate his troops, right before The Crossing of the Delaware. December 23, 1776

Conservative bloggers went wild Monday when they got wind of the Congressional Black Caucus’ suggestion that President Obama pick Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston for the post of Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Rich Cooper, avid blogger for Security Debrief, responded to the news of the Jackson Lee recommendation in a post by saying, “Apparently, it is not a joke. For reasons that baffle any sense of reality, it is a serious gesture on the part of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to encourage President Obama to nominate Rep. Jackson Lee as a replacement for outgoing-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.”

If this gorilla is voted into this position we might as well give up on any sanity in Washington. There is a long list of liberal bat shit crazy, but this women takes the cake. If this appointment actaully happens. I give up, we have lost any control of government and it is time for the revolution n to begin.

A few low lights of this public educated wonder:

Jackson Lee currently holds the post of Ranking Member of the Homeland SecuritySubcommittee on Border and Maritime Security … the CBC says she “stands as a strong and honest ‘voice of reason.’”

Readers have encountered this liberal “voice of reason” many times before, as for example when she called for American citizens to turn in their firearms, when she established herself as the Queen of Nastiness, when she took a snooze on the House floor, when she brought a phony doctor to advocate socialized medicine at a town hall meeting, when she diverted Islamic terror hearings into an attack on Christians, when she denounced a bill that would give closer scrutiny to suffocating regulations, when she proclaimed that the ObamaCare penalty is not a penalty, when she tried to arm vociferous American enemy Hugo Chavez, when she went completely off the rails while going to bat for Islam, when she rudely took a phone call while a subject was asking her a question at a town hall meeting, when she revealed in 2010 that South Vietnam was still in existence, when she hijacked Michael Jackson’s hearse, when she moved boldly to terminate freedom of speech, and of course when she referred to the American flag Neil Armstrong planted on Mars.

It’s a special kind of stupid kids.

A Nod To Moonbattery for the quotes and story

Why in the world is it so difficult to manage health care costs? Why does it cost thousands of dollars for an overnight stay at a hospital, hundreds for a few stitches, and hundreds of thousands for major life saving surgery?

Why can’t it be more like auto or homeowners insurance? Surely if you total a fifty thousand dollar car, your insurance company will replace it, less whatever deductible you may have. You are even covered for medical expenses up to your/their limits will pay. That could cover the same costs for major surgery, by why are the premiums so different?

Casualty insurance – homeowners’ and auto insurance, for example – is different. In the casualty market the product being bought and sold is real insurance, providing protection against unanticipated catastrophic loss.

Homeowners insurance, for example, typically pays for losses due to theft, wind, hail, fire and so on. But it doesn’t pay for the normal wear and tear of daily living, such as replacing worn-out carpet or repairing a leaky faucet or an air conditioning system that’s on the blink. Similarly, automobile insurance pays for collision damages, but it doesn’t pay for oil changes, new tires, tune ups or normal maintenance.

Health insurance is different. The typical employer plan, for example, covers general checkups and such routine screenings as mammograms, Pap smears, and PSA testing for prostate cancer. These may all be worthwhile tests, but they are not the result of some unpredictable, costly event.

In addition, many health plans cover the full cost of such tests, with no deductible or co-payment. Under the Affordable Care Act, first-dollar coverage for routine primary and preventive care is required by law.

The perverse nature of health insurance goes further. Many employer plans that provide first-dollar coverage for routine care at the same time leave employees exposed to tens of thousands of dollars of out-of-pocket expenses in the case of catastrophic illness. In other words, the policies pay for routine expenses most families easily could pay themselves, but leave the families exposed to large bills – and possible bankruptcy –in the event of a major accident or illness.

Another unique feature of health insurance is the degree of control insurers have over the services that are provided.

If you’re in an automobile accident, you typically take your car to an approved auto body shop. The insurance company doesn’t tell the auto body shop how to make the repairs, it merely pays for the loss. Similarly, if your house is destroyed by a fire, the insurer doesn’t insist that you rebuild it exactly as it was; it writes you a check for the value of your loss.

Modern health insurance, by contrast, doesn’t write checks based on loss, it writes checks to doctors, hospitals and other providers based on the services they provide. Instead of reimbursing for losses, health insurance pays for consumption – and the amount it pays depends on how much we consume.

The insurer’s job, in other words, as the agent of a third party payer, is to limit the payer’s financial liability by rationing care and limiting what they pay to doctors, hospitals, diagnostic facilities and other providers.

Homeowners’ insurers are not in the home repair business. Auto insurers aren’t in the car repair business. And health insurers shouldn’t be in the business of prescribing – or proscribing – medical treatment; they should be in the business of insuring individuals and families against large financial losses owing to medical conditions.

Like homeowners’ and auto insurance, health insurance should have a limited purpose: providing protection against financial loss. Medical decisions should be left to the experts. read more:

And that my friends is why Obamacare will not work. As a matter of fact, it’s doomed for failure, as we have learned with other programs ran by the bureaucrats in Washington, they couldn’t run a gas station let alone six billion peoples healthcare.
