Government Service

Confused

Tim recently conveyed to me via E-mail something I think we've  all have observed, in some fashion, over the years. “ I became confused when I heard the word "Service" used with these agencies: Internal Revenue 'Service' U.S. Postal 'Service' Telephone 'Service' Cable TV 'Service' Civil 'Service' State, City, County & Public 'Service' Customer 'Service' This is not what I thought 'Service' meant. But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us. I would hope that you are now just as enlightened as I am. ”

In their own words ...

"... look no further

“ ....  look no further than the recent debt-limit debacle, which clearly showed that we are becoming two nations governed by a single Congress—and that paralyzing gridlock is the result.  So what to do? To solve the serious problems facing our country, we need to minimize the harm from legislative inertia by relying more on automatic policies and depoliticized commissions for certain policy decisions. In other words, radical as it sounds, we need to counter the gridlock of our political institutions by making them a bit less democratic. [nee Obama budget director Peter Orzog]   And there's this: "I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years .... [N.C. Democrat Gov. Bev Perdue]   UPDATE -DESPITE CLAIMS: AUDIO SHOWS NC GOV'S 'SUSPEND ELECTION' -- NO JOKE!...  But wait!— before you think that democrats are thinking what it sounds like they're thinking, Ezra Klein sets things straight. “ “We need less democracy” is a good headline, but if you read the piece closely, that’s not actually what Orszag is arguing. Rather, he’s arguing that we need less Congress. And that’s a bit different. ” Hmmm. Ezra, that's pretty much what we thought he was saying.  That the stinking congress is an impediemt to strict Obama rule.  The kind of Obamathink that's pervading the democrat (not democratic)  debate.  It's been noticed before. Obama’s 2012 Campaign Strategy — Incite Civil Unrest One of our most read articles published in 2010 (EXTRA: Obama Suspends Civil Liberties ) , dealt with a hypothetical scenario where Obama inflamed civil disorder in order to institute Martial Law and in doing so, suspended the 2012 election. Obama Team to Incite Race Riots; Use White Guilt in 2012 Election Since riots and uprisings are now en vogue the world over and with signs that they will soon reach the shores of America, would it be that much of a stretch to suggest President Obama’s election campaign would be willing to incite race riots in the hopes of guilting white Americans into casting a vote for a President who is progressively losing popularity and support at an ever accelerating rate? ”

I feel she needs to know it’s out there. I’m reacting to this as a man would. I don’t know how a woman would react. Please help.

Obamacare and the SCOTUS

Today's HUGE ...

“ Obama administration lawyers face a decision by Monday that carries a high political risk and will probably determine whether the Supreme Court decides on the constitutionality of the healthcare law before next year's presidential election. The Justice Department could ask the full U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta to reconsider a 2-1 decision in August that declared the law's mandate that all Americans must have health insurance unconstitutional. But seeking the full court review could take weeks, or even months, and probably push back a Supreme Court ruling until 2013. Or government lawyers could opt to skip the full review in the lower court and appeal directly to the Supreme Court this fall. That in turn will probably lead to a constitutional ruling on President Obama's healthcare law by next summer. Under the appeals court's rules, the Justice Department must notify the 11th Circuit by Monday whether it will seek a full court review. "My sense is the administration is confident the Supreme Court will uphold the law," said former Solicitor General Walter Dellinger. "I think they want a decision as soon as they can get one." [Full] I don't think I'm close to overstatment by saying the fate of our union hinges on this decision.

Twenty-one out of the 27 General Assembly resolutions condemn Israel — the one true democracy in the Middle East. Well, this is an unfortunate part of the U.N. institution.

SEIUrsly

Forcing non-members to pay for unions’ political advocacy

“ Early next year the Supreme Court will hear Knox v. SEIU Local 1000, an important case about union power and individual conscience. The Cato Institute has joined several other organizations in filing an amicus brief (PDF), as my colleague Ilya Shapiro explains here (snippage below) In 2005, the SEIU initiated a mid-year campaign against two California ballot measures, one that would cap state spending and another that would restrict the use of union dues for political purposes. In states such as California that do not have “right to work” laws, unions are allowed to take dues from non-union workers to finance collective-bargaining activities that, arguably, benefit all employees.  Since 1977, however, unions have not been allowed to take dues from non-union members to pay for pure political advocacy without adequate protections for possible dissenters. To distinguish political money from collective-bargaining money, the Supreme Court requires that a “Hudson notice” be given to all non-union workers. This notice gives non-members the opportunity to challenge political expenditures. But when the SEIU began garnishing 25-33% more wages to fight the California ballot initiatives, it issued no new Hudson notice, effectively forcing 28,000 non-member employees to finance its political speech. ” Obama's Private Army?

“ Mr A may certainly be called down for using crude language, and may even be a racist, but his use of "nigger" is void of  definitive proof that he voted against Obama because of his race, or even voted against him.    Voter B, on the other hand, tells the exit poller that she voted for a candidate because of  race.  She is racist by definition.

My Take on Last Night’s Republican Debate

My Take on Last Night’s Republican Debate Here’s my take on the debate last night. Perry looked like he was struggling to remember his lines but couldn’t quite do it. Romney looked like he could remember his lines since he’s been practicing in the mirror for the past four years. Gingrich looked like he didn’t need lines. He is just going to riff anyway. Bachmann had lines, but unfortunately they were all from the movie Fargo. For some reason, Cain finished all his lines with, “That dog won’t hunt,” which is ironic because he neither has a dog nor hunts. Huntsman was struggling to hold onto his script. His hands were slippery from all the Coppertone. Gary Johnson from New Mexico had a nervous twitch and kept thinking to himself, “Dude, I’m on TV.” Santorum had a good script but he was put out that he actually had to answer questions. And Ron Paul refused all scripts because they are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Merrily
