The Dung Heap That is Health Care Reform 2009/2010

Given the mood of the majority of the public with respect to Obama's "Bunch of Crap and Special Interest Dung Heap Heath Care Plan", is it any surprise the President is on the offensive defending the pile of cow dung now going through the senate.

Rational Nation USA has no patience, or desire, to comment further on the bucket of crap the President and the useless Congress is about to dump on America. We truly have only ourselves to thank for this useless piece of legislation that will ultimately bankrupt this nation.

As we are led to the den of lions let us remember the words of Benjamin Franklin when asked if the Constitutional Convention had given us a Monarchy of a Republic. To which he replied, "A republic if you can keep it."

My take today is we are fast approaching a monarchy of sorts. Or put another way, rule by the elite.

America Beware!!

    and don't give up the fight yet, my friend. even if it does pass and is enacted as law the fight won't be over until the next elections are decided.

    those elections will truly spell out what the people want not the opinion polls or what ever else is used to determine the will of the prople.

    it will be then we'll know if the people seek repeal or not if passed or if they wish it if not passed by then.

    Nickie - Indeed, 2010 and beyond will be a battle for the soul of our Republic! We have much to do!

    Griper - I shall fight on until my last breath! It is on behalf of our grandchild's generation I will do so. For I wish him (as well as others) to know the American values I love and respect.

Target To No Longer Offer Health Coverage To Part Time Employees...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U SA Purveyor of Truth It isn't like we couldn't see it coming. In fact expect more down the line. It is absolutely no secret that for ObamaCare (ACA) to work will require a huge pool of younger healthier individuals to participate in the Government's Heath Insurance, er Healthcare Plan. How long will it be before businesses decide to just pass it all off the the government? It's anybody's guess, but I'm betting single payer sooner rather than late. THE HILL - Target Corp. announced on Tuesday it would no longer offer healthcare coverage to its part-time employees. In a blog post on the company’s website, Jodee Kozlak, the executive vice president of human resources, framed it as a positive development for part-time employees of the company. “The Health Insurance Marketplaces provides new options for healthcare coverage that we believe our part-time members may prefer,” she wrote. “In fact, by offering them insurance...

Is President Obama Really a War Hawk?...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va) Is it reasonable to argue that the President is, in fact a war hawk? Given his significant increase in drone attacks and his unwavering position he does not need Congresses blessing to wake war against ISIS it is reasonable to answer yes to the foregoing question. Senator Tim Kaine, an early supporter of the President thinks he overreaching his authority. ORANGE, Va. — In June, after he had written a scorching opinion article seeking to constrain the president’s unilateral power to make war, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, one of Barack Obama ’s earliest supporters, buttonholed the commander in chief at the White House for what he called “a spirited discussion.” The militants of the Islamic State were pouring across the Syrian border into Iraq, and seizing cities where so much American blood and treasure had been spilled. But Mr. Kaine said he told the president in no uncertain terms that if h...

Modern Conservatism In a Nutshell...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Conservatism is a reaction to democratic movements that challenge the authority of elites. After decades of "compassionate conservatism," "a thousand points of light," and "Morning in America," dark talk of class warfare on the right can seem like a strange throwback. So accustomed are we to the sunny Reagan and the populist Tea Party that we've forgotten a basic truth about conservatism: It is a reaction to democratic movements from below, movements like Occupy Wall Street that threaten to reorder society from the bottom up, redistributing power and resources from those who have much to those who have not so much. With the roar against the ruling classes growing ever louder, the right seems to be reverting to type. It thus behooves us to take a second look at the conservative tradition, not just its current incarnation but also across time, for that tradition provides us with an understanding of why th...

  When fascism came to America it  came clutching a bible and waving the flag.  On January 20, 2025. When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog  chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. Milarepa   “Just as it is k  na  nown t hat an image of one's face is seen d epending on a mirror b ut does not really exist as a face, s o the conception of "I" exist d ependent on mind and body, b ut like the image of a face t he "I" does not at all exist as its own reality."    Nagarjuna "Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.   Nagarjuna

Will Trump's Economic Policies Make America Great "Again"...

Image
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Presidential hopeful and presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump wants to Make America Great "Again" . His economic policies, analyzed by Moody, paints a not so rosy picture. At the very least Mr. Trump needs to explain in depth what his policies would be, demonstrate why they would be successful and how Moody's analysis is incorrect. Moody's Analytics - Presidential candidates often put forward proposals that are as much political statements as firm policy positions. No one expects that their proposals will get through the legislative process and into law fully intact. But while the policy proposals put forward by candidates are generally well overstated, they are a statement on their philosophy and priorities. Mr. Trump’s economic policy proposals should be considered through this lens. He has suggested that he might be willing to bend his position on taxes and perhaps tariffs. He has even intimated that his policy st...

The La Raza Connection...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth An exchange with one -FJ over at The Daddy Blog . -FJ June 6, 2016 at 12:37 PM LEFTISTS, they will NEVER admit their emperor is naked. Like the Trump-judge story. Trumps raants make perfect sense when you know about the "La Raza" connection. But the Press never makes the connection. It's all a bad-faith by Trump "mystery"... much like all that Chicago gun violence. Rational Nation U S A June 6, 2016 at 1:32 PM At least YOU gave a palatable response. Bias is everywhere and the vast majority, if not all, of the people are biased. Including conservatives and they, as well as liberals, lean towards their bias, reflexively for most. Thanks for your response -FJ If Trump becomes the right's Emperor, which is highly unlikely, I wonder if the right will ever admit he is naked.

The Stupid Party and Impeachment Talk...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth If the stupid party ( republican in this instance ) had any common sense and wisdom it would just let this impeachment nonsense die. Let the dude in office continue to attend fundraisers and do what he does best... TALK . American people are not completely asleep and recent polls show that the President and his policies continues to slip. Sometimes it's just best to keep quiet and let things take their natural course. Washington (CNN) – There’s not a lot of public appetite for a Republican push to sue President Barack Obama, or for calls by some conservatives to impeach him, according to a new national survey. A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday morning also indicates that a small majority of Americans do not believe that Obama has gone too far in expanding the powers of the presidency. Earlier this month, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP's 2008 vice presidential nominee, called for Obama...

14 Points Of Fascism...

from: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Fascism, a word tossed about frequently. Conservatives will say progressives lean fascist and progressives will say conservatives lean fascist. So, what's the truth? Or is there some truth both display some if not all of the characteristics? Dr. Laurence Britt , a political scientist who studied the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet and found common themes running through of all these. He compiled a list called "The 14 Points of Fascism." 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism 5. Rampant sexism 6. A controlled mass media 7. Obsession with national security 8. Religion and ruling elite tied together 9. Power of corporations protected 10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated 11. Disdain and suppr...

A What If From the Conspiracy Crazed Far Right...

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Is it possible to explain delusions such as the following? Undoubtedly fear is a positive motivator, when it is rational. On the other hand irrational fear and fear mongering is a very dangerous. What you read in the following possibly ranks among the most irrational fear mongering published in some time. Who among us thinks that, like the generation fresh from the triumphs of the last World War, our current self-serving politicos have the experience, moral probity and courage to face that choice of evils? Who is honestly sure that they aren’t already preparing an exit strategy that leaves their own factional power intact, even if America is no longer free? What if Obama isn’t looking to his “legacy”? What if the threat of nuclear devastation he helps to arm with this agreement (an America-hating Iran with nuclear bombs) is to be brandished, along with a related threat from ongoing terrorist uprisings on U.S. soil, to create the exigent cir...

Catholic University Faces Complaint of Human Rights Violation by Muslim Students

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny I am not religious. I do respect the right of all peaceful religions to worship as their theocratic theological (religious) dogma would have them. How they worship, or the symbols of their religion do not affect me. Unless they are engaged in trying to force change in places they have no moral or legal right to do so. Which is precisely why the following article reporting on Muslims attempting to force change on Catholic University {a private institution} because of alleged human rights violations should tick everyone of rational mind off greatly. The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers. The investigation alleges that Muslim students “must perform their prayers surr...
