A true “You didn’t build that” policy

Less than two years ago, Barack Obama said this

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me—because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t—look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own… If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Excuses for that statement flew out of the talking heads in an attempt to explain what he “really meant”. But his policies show that all those excuses were lies.

Richard Griffin, the new general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, wants to give unions a veto over a unionized employer’s decision to relocate. If Griffin has his way, and he most assuredly will, some unionized businesses will be pinned in place at the discretion of their unions.

Is your business being legislated or regulated to extinction in one state and want to relocate to a friendlier governmental climate? That is not allowed in the Obamanation.

Near the end, he attempts to steer the debate towards illegal immigration and gets slapped like a bitch for trying.

Once again.

They forget so soon.

“I am able to read that document. What it says is that Jews supported the Junta in Kiev (the Bandera fascists) and are hostile to the Orthodox Republic of Donetsk and it’s citizens, and therefore must register or be expelled from the Republic and have their property confiscated.”

I guess some truly “never forget”. But those folks seem to be the ones who reminisce about the “good old days” of persecuting people for their heritage.

But what about the kids!?!

University of Oregon professor says college shold be priced so that “all” students can afford it.

Until the money in the budget earmarked for his raise gets re-earmarked to go towards a university paid Fellowship Program.

Then, oddly enough, he thinks the price for a Graduate education is just about right.

Everything should be free, so long as someone else has to pay for it.

I did my taxes months ago

That’s my excuse for failing to put up a post for the 15th in particular. I don’t let thebureaucrats keep my money from me one second longer than they’re allowed.

That, and I’m trying to eke out time to fab up a shooting bench before Boomershoot. I might have pics Friday, so there’s that to look forward to.

So, in true belated fashion, Ron Swanson explains taxes

The non-ID ID card

You can no longer do anything without is about to become your national ID card.

As Republicans push for new voting restrictions around the country, a handful of Democrats have coalesced around an impromptu idea: placing a photo on Social Security cards.

Former U.N. ambassador and civil rights activist Andrew Young — who chairs a nonpartisan voting rights group called Why Tuesday? — buttonholed President Obama and two of his predecessors in Texas this week in an effort to win their support for the concept. Former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter endorsed the idea, while the White House declined to comment.

“It’s just an idea whose time may have come,” said Young, a former Atlanta mayor who was in Austin to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library. “What we’re saying is, everybody’s got a Social Security card. But with all of this identity theft going on, it’s a good idea to have your picture on it.”

The proposal drew praise from some election experts but also prompted immediate concerns on both sides of the political spectrum — highlighting the controversy that still surrounds voting rights issues.

Some voter advocates said requiring such cards could still put poorer Americans at a disadvantage, while conservatives such as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) argued that it could pave the way for a new form of national ID.

If Clinton and Carter have given the idea approval, you know the idea is shit. I distinctly remember being told that the card was never envisioned to be an identification card.

Surprise! Yet another Democratic Party lie exposed.

And then the alarm clock went off

Vermont was dreaming

Of the plans that states have hatched for the Affordable Care Act, none has been bolder than that of Vermont, which wants to implement a single-payer health-care system, along the lines of what you might find in Britain or Canada. One government-operated system will cover all 620,000 of Vermont’s citizens. The hope is that such a system will allow Vermont to get costs down closer to Canada’s, as well as improve health by coordinating care and ensuring universal coverage.

Just two small issues need to be resolved before the state gets to all systems go: First, it needs the federal government to grant waivers allowing Vermont to divert Medicaid and other health-care funding into the single-payer system. And second, Vermont needs to find some way to pay for it.

I’d blame the delusion of something for nothing on unicorn farts wafting north from the District of Columbia, but this nightmare should be taken seriously. As is mentioned in the article, people move to Vermont to live under less of a tax burden. If they aren’t down to fewer than 500,000 residents in five years, I’ll be surprised.

Maybe this was their intention the whole time?

One of the Occupy protesters is charged with assaulting an NYPD officer. However, she can’t be tried at this time because they can’t find enough potential jurors who don’t see the Occupy gang in an unfavorable light.

It is the most important question being asked of dozens of New Yorkers lined up as potential jurors for the trial of Cecily McMillan, an Occupy Wall Street activist accused of assaulting a police officer: what do you think of her protest movement?

Unfortunately for those keen on the swift procession of justice, a series of Manhattan residents who presented themselves at the criminal courthouse this week declared that they strongly disagreed with it – and could not promise to be impartial about one of its members.

…..

And as one after the other was rejected – either by McMillan’s attorneys, state prosecutors, or the judge – a jury selection process that the defence had hoped would be completed in one day reached the end of a second with only seven of the 12 jurors’ seats filled.

When you and your friends refuse to grow up and learn the difference between “Private Property” and “Personal Property”, (hint: there isn’t any) people who have to live and work in the real world tend to not enjoy having to share oxygen with you.

On a different note, why do we have to go to the UK for this news? Is the US media this biased towards the Occupy tweakers that they can’t dare report this?
