Obama has to win a Second Term
They'll gut health care just for spite
Link
Presidents live in a world of wins and
losses quickly forgotten. Rarely are they presented with
the kind of defining moment that Obama experienced when Roberts upheld
his health care law.
It's one that will transcend his presidency, change America's social
safety net and shape how
he is likely to be remembered.
Then there's the catch.
If Obama does not win a second term in November, he risks losing both
the law and the core of his legacy.
Romney will gut the law and impose something else. All the rest of what
Obama accomplishes
will fall under the dimmer view of history assigned to one-term
presidents.
Obama's re-election message is not expected to differ because of the
ruling. But his presidency has changed.
Where others failed, he succeeded, pushing through a plan to get basic
health coverage to
millions of uninsured people in the richest nation on earth.
Obamacare is his Medicare, his Social Security.
This election is the difference between light and darkness.
I hope Obama is able to make that case effectively.

Arizona's Pink Panty Sheriff
Arpaio is a Cruel and Heartless Bastard
Link
In Phoenix, Arizona, a large neon VACANCY sign looms over the Maricopa County jail complex,
home to the infamous "tent city" – a facility as notorious as the tough guy Sheriff Joe Arpaio who
makes it his business to keep it full. Arpaio's methods of rounding up and detaining prisoners, and the
conditions to which they are subjected once inside his jails, have been relentlessly criticized by human
rights groups. Yet, there is no indication that the VACANCY light will be switched off anytime soon.
Inside the Pink Panty Sheriff's jails, the most egregious human rights violations occur. Last weekend,
Reverend Peter Morales was taken on a tour of the complex. Morales said the first thing that struck him
was the oppressive wall of heat. At this time of year, temperatures inside the tent city reach up to 140º.
There are no fans. Needless to say, there is no air conditioning.
Morales spoke to a few inmates and one of the issues they raised was the fact that they are not given
enough time to refill their water containers. They also complain about the food. Inmates are fed only
twice a day and Arpaio has boasted in the past of the food being rotten; green bologna is a specialty.
Is Arizona as fucked as, say, Oklahoma?
Arizona keeps electing this dangerous troll - why?
He's like Jim Imhofe with a gun (not a compliment)
He treats the inmates like animals because most of them "are."
Niggers and Beaners don't deserve to be treated like people, right Joe?
I think institutions like the NFL need to boycott Arizona until this clown goes.

Subject: Why did Justice Roberts do it?
One thing that I think we can all agree on in regards to the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare is - WOW!
Who would have expected Justice Roberts to make that decision. I've been thinking about that all day wondering
what made him do it and I have a theory. I think Roberts had a personal experience with Reality.
I remember when Roberts was sworn in. He was there with his wife and two small children taking the oath and
you could tell that he loved his family. I can't help but to think that Roberts had a revelation and he thought about
the future. I think that he pondered what kind of world he was leaving to his children. He recognized how his
decision he made today would impact the lives of his kids and future generations. I believe that Roberts might
have understood the effect his choice would make and that he just couldn't do that to the future of America.
Morality comes from Reality itself. When one looks into the future and calculates the difference between doing
what is right compared to doing what is wrong one realizes that if we are going to survive and continue to exist
we have to make good choices. We are in fact the descendents of our ancestors who did what was right and
species and cultures who didn't make the right choices are extinct.
I'm going to give Roberts the credit for taking his role in history seriously and doing what was right for his
children and his children's children. I believe that Reality spoke to John Roberts and that he chose to live in
the right relationship with Reality. He was under a lot of pressure to do what was wrong and he refused.
Last Thursday was a good day for America and we need good days if our nation is going to survive.

Paterno: Guiltier than we thought?
Was Joe an active enabler and secret-keeper?
Link
The bottom line is that child welfare services was never contacted. And Sandusky
continued to stalk and abuse the area's disadvantaged boys for seven more years.
The email is devastating on multiple levels, perhaps most for Paterno, who had escaped
some measure of scorn thus far by having played the, in-hindsight-I-should've-done-more angle.
According to Curley's email, Paterno participated more than he ever admitted, including likely
talking Curley – and thus the others – out of the plan to turn Sandusky over to authorities.
Take a second for that one to sink in.
It is now perfectly reasonable to postulate that Joe Paterno protected Sandusky.
Sandusky went right along with his business of showering with boys in the locker room,
of bringing kids to the sidelines during games, of sitting in the press/luxury box area at games.
Sandusky used the program's allure like a lollipop to draw kids into his van.
I guess everyone heard the big bombshell, that had Sandusky taken the stand, his adopted son
had agreed to testify that Sandusky molested him from the age of 7-15, when he lost his kid looks.
What a nightmare, to be adopted by a pedophile.
And Joe, I get what loyalty is about, but how could you look the other way,
knowing Jerry was raping and molesting what might've been hundreds of children?

Der Monkey Fuhrer: Still the Worst
Was there ever any doubt? Delusional wars, torture,
reckless spending and inflexibility equal disaster
Link
To fashion his rationale of success, Bush would make Iraq hospitable to the Western
and the resulting stability would ensure the war's success and serve as regional example
and beachhead for similar Wilsonian initiatives throughout the Middle East.
This was — there is no kinder word for it — delusional.
It was during the second term that things fell apart. The folly of the Iraq war became
increasingly clear, and Bush’s credibility plummeted. Contributing to Bush’s problems
was a personality disorder that hindered his ability to work with Democrats. He brought
to his presidency a high level of sanctimony — an apparent conviction that he operated
on a higher plane of rectitude than other politicians.
Bush’s standing with the American people plummeted through his second term and his
approval rating dropped to the lowest level of any president in thirty-five years. History
likely will view Bush largely as the voters did after eight years of his stewardship.

Murdoch: Scientology "weird, maybe evil"
Are they evil enough to tap your phones?
Link
Rupert Murdoch, who was recently named "Biggest Asshole in the World" by the Brits,
took to Twitter to weigh in on Scientology and sparked a big backlash.
"Scientology back in news," Murdoch tweeted. "Very weird cult, but big, big money
involved with Tom Cruise either number two or three in hierarchy."
"Watch Katie Holmes and Scientology story develop," Murdoch wrote.
"Something creepy, maybe even evil, about these people."
Murdoch is standing by his comments.
"Since Scientology tweet hundreds of attacks," he wrote later. "Expect they will
increase and get worse and maybe threatening. Still stick to my story."
They say sometimes evil people can see evil when us normal people can't.
Of course, all religions exist to comfort you - for a price.
What a scam - you don't find out it's all a lie until you're dead.

Subject: Daniels will screw up Purdue just like Indiana
Mitch Daniels to receive large raise as Purdue president
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels could earn more than five times as much salary
when he takes over as Purdue University president.
A memorandum of understanding between Daniels and the university calls for
a salary comparable to those earned by university presidents at peer institutions,
as well as performance bonuses.
Outgoing Purdue President France Cordova earns $465,000. Indiana University
President Michael McRobbie earns $533,120, which IU spokesman Mark Land
says put him roughly in the middle for pay for presidents in the Big Ten.
Ohio State University President Gordon Gee earns nearly $2 million a year.
Former Purdue University Senate Chairman Morris Levy says he has ethical
concerns about the board of trustees setting Daniels' salary.
Daniels appointed eight of the 10 trustees.
Bart, a lot of people don't seem to remember that "not my man Mitch" was up Bush's ass.
He seems to have genius level talent at hiding and moving around money and saying he is
slashing budgets while infrastructure and services go to hell. He is also a best bud to the wealthy.
Purdue will surely suffer and it pains me being the Boilermaker fan that I am.

Subject: how Obamacare helps poor people buy insurance
Bottom line is they get a tax credit that pays for it, or most of it if they want a fancier policy.
Keep up the good work.

Subject: How the poor will afford healthcare...
Because it will be much CHEAPER FOR EVERYONE.
In 2014 the REAL non-profit health insurers will come onto the exchanges. They will offer better plans
for less money because they don't have $12million annual CEOs to pay, or stocks to sell. You will be able
to get away from the legalized embezzlers that you pay a premium to now. That new insurance won't be
tied to a job.
Those companies will be allowed to merge across state lines to offer larger risk pools which will bring
down the prices even more. Eventually those will merge nation-wide, which is how we get Single Payer.
More people in the pool = more money for health care, and less money in premiums because you will
no longer be paying for the freeloaders who have no insurance. If you want to keep your present insurance you can.
Your premiums should come down either way, but probably it will be a much better deal to go through
the new non-profits unless MONSTERMEGACORPS decide to actually try to compete with them by
lowering their prices. I don't see how they can compete and still make a profit - but who knows?
Obamacare/ACA forces the market to function as a market honestly with no collusion, because it's all REGULATED again.
Did you know that thanks to Obamacare, right now your insurance company
must pay 85% of your premiums on health care - if they don't, they owe you a refund.

Nugent, whining about the media
No-talent Pants pooper throws another tantrum
Link
There is so much good news that goes largely unreported that it makes me want to scream.
A couple of days ago, a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix shot a punk who busted through a door
and pointed a gun at the young man.
This is an incredibly wonderful news story that should be the lead story on the evening network news.
It should be the front-page story in the New York Times. The Sunday morning talking heads should talk about it.
But it won’t be covered by the media. Outside of the Phoenix area and this opinion piece in The Washington Times,
this wonderful good-news story will not be heard or read. What a shame.
Ted, one child murdering another is hardly "a wonderful good-news story."
I own guns, too, but I don't have a celebratory toss-off when one kid kills another.
You and me? We're two different kinds of people, Ted.
And if this is such a wonderful good-news story, why don't those crazy,
bought-off whores at FOX News run the story wall-to-wall?
Half the time you loons are screaming, "FOX is the biggest news network ever,"
and the other half you scream, "We can't get our propaganda out."
Please decide what your position is, Ted, and stop hopping around like a Kansas City faggot.
(This is a test - is Blazing Saddles humor too much for liberals in 2012?)

Obama's Mess: Medical pot in Montana
http://www.facebook.com/tom.daubert
"I might get 20 years in federal prison because Obama
has a problem with the legal pot laws in Montana."
Link
Tom sent me a DVD of Code of the West, (See Trailer here) which features much
of his story, but it's mostly about the insane busybodies who have nothing else to do
but crusade against dying people getting their medicine. Buy DVD HERE
It was so frustrating to watch because it proves we haven't learned anything since f-ing Reefer Madness.
"We have to get rid of medicinal pot because what if our children got hold of some?"
Well, what if your kids get hold of your Jack Daniels?
What if your kids get hold of your Oxycotin?
What if your kids get hold of your Smith & Wesson?
What if your kids get hold of your vibrator?
What if your kids get hold of your car keys?
What if your kids get hold of your porn collection?
What if your kids get hold of (gasp) playing cards and a poker game breaks out - what then?
That's a really stupid reason to ban something, because "what if?"
Republicans ALWAYS want less government, unless the sublect is pot laws or abortion
or nudity or a thousand other subjects when the crazy bastards want MORE government.
Tom is being sentenced in September - for obeying Montana laws.
What's that like - to be facing 20 years in prison when you're a law-abiding citizen?
