    ABC BOLG The Note ^ | October 5, 2009 | Rick Klien
    Think the White House may want to work on its vote-counting operation before the health care bill makes it to the Senate floor? Think the CBO might be just as brutal as the IOC -- with scoring that counts just as much? Think the public debate over Afghanistan strategy gets any easier as events shape perceptions? Nobody will much remember a 24-hour trip to Denmark in early fall if, by the start of winter, there's a health care bill in place and a Afghanistan policy everyone in the administration can agree to.

  • Gore Vidal: ‘We’ll have a dictatorship soon in the US’

    Times online ^ | 9/29/2009 | Gore Vidal
    The grand old man of letters Gore Vidal claims America is ‘rotting away’ — and don’t expect Barack Obama to save it. A conversation with Gore Vidal unfolds at his pace. He answers questions imperiously, occasionally playfully, with a piercing, lethal dryness. He is 83 and in a wheelchair (a result of hypothermia suffered in the war, his left knee is made of titanium). But he can walk (“Of course I can”) and after a recent performance of Mother Courage at London’s National Theatre he stood to deliver an anti-war speech to the audience.

    The left is winning the argument on healthcare because they have taken our eyes off the ball. They did this with the racist statments. After that we spent most of our time hearing or reading about the racist or not racist position. Obama's daily average is trending towards positive numbers, at -4 today. We are no longer hearing about any thing that is in the healthcare bill only what we already know.

    I can’t make it to Washington DC today for the national 9/12 march, but I’m with all the marchers in spirit. It’s been an unprecedented year for limited government activism. It would never have been possible without the early initiative of grass-roots leaders in the #tcot community on Twitter, Smart Girl Politics #DontGo — and concerned moms like Keli Carender and Amanda Grosserode who stood up in their communities against reckless spending in Washington before anyone was listening. Before the cable news was paying attention. Before it became fashionable for politicians to latch on.
  • What do the New Black Panther Party and the CIA have in common? (vanity)

    VANITY ^ | September 2, 2009 | Stockpirate
    This is more of a question to FReepers. The New Black Panther Party used men dressed in para-military outfits and carrying clubs to frighten away white voters in Philadelphia, and they are not facing an investigation by the DOJ. Isn't what the NBPP did along the same lines as what the DOJ and the Obamafascists are investigating the CIA about the same in comparision? So, why may I ask is this not being pointed out by our republican leaders and reporters on our side?

    Ludwig Von Mises Institute ^ | 9/28/1998 | Ralph Reiland
    In 1944, Ludwig von Mises published one of his least-known masterworks: Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War. Drawing on his prewar experience in Vienna, watching the rise of the national socialists in Germany (the Nazis), who would eventually take over his own homeland, he set out to draw parallels between the Russian and German experience with socialism. It was common in those days, as it is in ours, to identify the Communists as leftist and the Nazis as rightists, as if they stood on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But Mises knew differently. They...

    His health care bill should include an incentive for old people to go to the great beyond without wasting taxpayers money with costly medical treatments. The way to do this is simple. If the person is over 75 his closet relative would be paid $4,500.00 if the elder opts out of life early for the good of the collective. Henceforth to be referred to as the "Fatherland". If the person is over 85 his closet relative would get $3,500.00 if the elder opts out of life early for the good of the collective. Henceforth to be referred to as the...

    ........Of all businessmen, the small shopkeeper is the one most under control and most at the mercy of the party," recounts Reimann. "The party man, whose good will he must have, does not live in faraway Berlin; he lives right next door or right around the corner. This local Hitler gets a report every day on what is discussed in Herr Schultz's bakery and Herr Schmidt's butcher shop. He would regard these men as ‘enemies of the state' if they complained too much. That would mean, at the very least, the cutting of their quota of scarce and hence highly...
