Applied Indifference

But liars figure.

Just got a robocall – an automated survey on “health care reform”.

First question – “Press one if you have insurance through your employer or your spouse’s employer. Press two if you are uninsured or on Medicare or Medicaid.”

I pressed 0 and it hung up on me.

But if you want to know where that stupid fucking “47 million uninsured” shit comes from, this is it. Lump all the Medicare and Medicaid in with uninsureds, and leave no option for self-insureds (even if I had an actual insurance policy, it would still not be “through” my employer, I’m self-employed).

Argentine glacier says “What global warming?”

How many times does a “scientific” theory need to be falsified before the scientists go back to the drawing board?

It would appear that in the case of Anthropogenic Climate Change (the phenomenon formerly known as Global Warming™) that there is no amount of counter-evidence sufficient to require a review of the premises of the theory.

At this point, the warmists are just winging it and hoping that nobody notices.

Given the new rules of the game, I have to say that this cartoon by Lalo Alcaraz is an incitement to shoot Republicans.

Liberal means never having to be consistent.

The double standard of who is responsible for language, that is.

For instance, when an ACORN-affiliated group gathers up a bunch of disaffected citizens to take them on a tour of wealthy financiers houses, there’s no concern from the media (like Don Wright) that someone might do something bad.  In fact, I think Don Wright might be responsible if someone from AIG gets hurt by one of these people.

How about when Obama says to a meeting of the bank executives “This administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.” Hell, that almost sounds like a threat.

So, Don, will you or any of your compadres in Obama’s sycophant corps call him out on his “irresponsible” language if some bank executive ends up with a pitchfork in his belly?  Didn’t think so.

Of course, cops get shot all the time.  Sometimes they get shot by people who can’t be painted with the “dread conservative brush”.  Like Lovelle Mixon.  Suspected in the sexual assault of a 12 year old girl, he was pulled over by Oakland police.  He proceeded to kill both of them, and kill two more before being killed.  Media reaction?  Sympathy.  Indymedia – disgusting shows of “the cops had it coming” and worse.  Marches in support of a murderer, rapist, and thief.  But we’re not allowed to say that media glorifying such behavior influences children.

Nope.  Only Rush Limbaugh can do that.

And you get this shit. (Don Wright)

This is the ultimate endgame of what Jeff has been going on about for some time.

Who controls meaning?  Is meaning guided by the intent of the speaker?  If it is, then the speaker cannot be responsible for the way his meaning is misinterpreted (intentionally or otherwise).  Is meaning controlled by the listener?  If so, when does liability attach to the listener and not the speaker?

Can anyone point me to a single sentence that Limbaugh, Beck, Norris, or Bachmann has said or written that even implies that it’s ok to shoot cops?

Whatever happened to the reasonable man standard? Are we now supposed to limit what we say, what we think, what we draw, based upon how some unbalanced person might interpret it? Should we outlaw dogs because there might be another Son of Sam?  Ought we ban video games because an unbalanced child might decide to kill people at some later date?

Don, your argument is as stupid as it is dangerous. Your abject hatred for conservatives has caused you to draw some pretty foolish stuff before, and no doubt it will again. But for you to imply that someone talking on the radio is responsible for how a deranged person interprets what is said is inherently dangerous to liberty.

The government, that is.

Senators, Congressmen, and the Attorney General of the State of New York are now attacking the individuals who received bonuses from AIG.  These are payments to which these employees were entitled, and which were protected by the very TARP legislation that led to AIG getting billions of taxpayer dollars.  Now these same morons on Capitol Hill who put the provision in there have announced their intentions to forcibly extract that money from those same employees with a special tax.

When Senator Reid launched a personal attack on Rush Limbaugh from the floor of the senate in 2007, it was shocking.  Here was an elected official assaulting a private citizen, and having his assault recorded for all eternity in the Congressional Record.

In the past month, we have had several Senators and Congressmen, the Office of the President of the United States of America, and the President himself viciously attacking private citizens for daring to question the wisdom of bailing out failed businesses while simultaneously setting the country up for disastrous inflation and devaluation of currency in the future.

This is what it has come to.  The government no longer fears us.  The government no longer serves us.  The government no longer represents us.

The government wants to destroy us.

That would be the Greens.

Because of shit like this.

The Greens of the world have made it perfectly clear where their priorities lie, and human life is at the bottom of the list.  As Green policies result in more and more human suffering and death with no benefit to anyone or anything, there will be a backlash.

As more and more Green lies are exposed, and the Green agenda’s anti-human stance becomes undeniable, it’s gonna be a bad time to be a Green.

There are a great many leftists out there publicly decrying capitalism.  They will tell anyone who listens that the mortgage collapse and its attendant banking system failure is a result of “capitalism gone amok”, or that it “proves that capitalism has failed.”

Capitalism did not fail.

Government failed. Government rigged the game to favor losers, and the losers took the whole fucking economy down.

Never forget that.

Vonnegut tells the future.

The thing I always warned would happen, indeed HAS to happen in any government-run universal healthcare system has been proposed.  Now, I always assumed that it was the endgame, but these bastards are actually using it as their opening move!

Now we know how the left intends to handle the retirement crisis.  They’re just gonna let everyone die.
