Something to consider. Especially for those who only see black or white. Or, for those who might be offended buy the black and white reference, agonist or antagonist.

Obama Administration Declares That It Has Met Its Goal Of ObamaCare Site Improvement...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny I guess the one good thing about being really really bad is any improvement is hailed as success. Forgive me if you will, but after the three years plus it apparently required to create a broken website (ACA of course), expecting us to believe that after only a month the myriad of problematical issues have been resolved and the ObamaCare website has now achieved the administrations goals is a bit much. Right. We believed if we liked out healthcare we could keep our health care. Turns out such such was not true. Like I said, forgive me for being the skeptic. Maybe after six months without the site crashing and millions of positive reports have poured, then, and only then, it will be time to become "a believer." Not that I will ever believe ObamaCare is necessarily a good or even adequate healthcare system. Forget about affordable, unless you qualify for the low income government subsidies. BUSINESS INSI...

More On Modern Conservatism In a Nutshell...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth In a prior post , published with the intent to facilitate open, frank, and honest discussion of post 1979 modern day conservatism (although that was inadvertently omitted, a extreme rightwing insurgent high jacked the post with his pro NRA firearm nuttery. As is to be expected it was abundantly clear he had no intention of either frank or honest discussion. His only purpose was to push his over the top uncompromising agenda. This particular individual has been known to me for some time and while at one time we shared some common views on individual liberty and the proper role of government this is no longer the case. At any rate, unable to understand what I consider a compromise position on firearm regulation, the parameters being his position of no regulation beyond the NRA's position and an outright banning of all firearms in the hands of civilian individuals , the following is my position. A) The purpose of firearm regulation is...

Was the Osama bin Laden Kill Really a Gutsy One?... Or Was It a CYA Exercise?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny President Obama politicizing his decision that resulted in the death of bin Laden. Perhaps it was not really a good decision. Time magazine securing a memo that could indicate the President was covering his on arse should the mission to take out bin Laden have went wrong. Ben Shapiro writing a column on how the President in his opinion, did just that. Before beginning my analysis of the above let me say I have real issues with many of the President's policy decisions and I certainly have issues with his desire to grow the federal government beyond recognition. Recognition when compared to what our constitutional republic should look like and how it should function. Now for my take on the most recent brouhaha. The memo secured by Time and as reported by Mr. Shapiro in Breitbart.com . Breitbart.com - Received phone call from Tom Donilon who stated that the President made a decision with regard to AC1 [Abbott...

Rep. Louie and the Fear Propagators ...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny Louie Gohmert - One Scary Idiot As it goes Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is one slightly unbalanced and therefore rather disturbing individual. His "way out in left field" claim that President Obama's administration has Muslim Brotherhood members is, IMNHO opinion based on one of two things. The fact "good ole Louie" is incapable of accepting we have a mixed race President, or he is simply stirring the pot of fear. Much like Senator McCarthy did in a bygone era. In either case he is doing a great disservice to the American public. As a fiscally conservative social Libertarian I challenge the fear mongering right to provide some significant evidence in support of the delusions they would have us all accept as factual reality. TPM - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went after the Obama administration's handling of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation in a radio interview Thursday -- and alon...

Revisiting Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman’s' Presumption of Innocence until Proven Guilty......

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Trayvon Martin,a 17 year old teenager entering young adulthood was shoot dead in Sanford Florida. This much we know with certainty. When the story first broke this classical liberal with libertarian leanings accepted, based on the early news reports, that George Zimmerman as guilty of a horrendous and unforgivable crime. However,as more information surfaced I began to question the veracity of the liberal contention that Zimmerman had in reality committed an act of first degree murder (my initial conclusion). Given time, and the proper reflection after new information (and opinions based on this information) surfaced it seemed, at least to this writer anyway, to step back and chill just a bit. This I have recently been able to accomplish. Absence my initial judgement (which was based solely on emotional determinations) I have been able to see things kn a more rational light. Which is to saw we must allow justice, wh...
