Universal health care is not socialism! Or so the argument goes. The truth is however, before our government can give to one person, they must take from another. Government mandated distribution of wealth is falls right in line with the Marxist principle of 60;from each according to his ability, to each according to his need61;. Sadly, government mandated distribution of wealth falls right in line with another57;s principles, and that would be those of the Democratic party. In 2004, Hillary Clinton spoke in San Francisco and was quoted as saying: “Many of you are well off enough that [President Bush’s] tax cuts may have helped you. We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We’re going to have to take things away from you. We’re going to have to have to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” I was happy to see Hillary at least being honest as to what her goal was, and that is to take away from some for the benefit of others. Of course Democrats rarely refer to tax increases as taking money away from the citizens, after all these are the same people who consider a tax break the same as the government giving you money. In the eyes of many on the left, what you have worked for is not yours unless the government says you can keep it. Hillary is not alone in her goal to 60;take61; from the people, as Michelle Obama demonstrated yesterday while talking about universal health care: "If we don't wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership for how we want this country to work, then we won't get universal health care," she said. "The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more." What Michelle Obama meant to say was that the government was going to have to 60;take61; your piece of the pie. To say that someone is going to have to 60;give up61; a piece of their pie would imply that it was voluntary, which our tax system is not. Astonishingly Michelle Obama also believes the solution to our poor education system lies in additional funding, which as Ed Morrissey reminds us, has already had enormous sums of money thrown at it. Want an example? Look at the VA. For that matter, look at the education system Mrs. Obama wants to expand. We have increased federal spending on education by 58% since 2000 (after inflation), and no one in their right mind would argue that education has improved 5.8%, let alone 58%. We’ve increased VA spending by 59%, and few would argue that we have received our money’s worth from that. In fact, American families will pay $4,000 more per household in taxes this year than in 2003, the highest level since the last year of the Clinton administration. We have already given more of the “pie” for government expansion. If that was the solution, then the Democrats should be arguing for a continuation of the Bush administration, which has expanded federal spending by 30% after inflation in just seven years. Education spending is at an all time high, Medicare and Social Security are on the verge of bankruptcy, and Michelle Obama57;s idea of 60;new leadership61; is an increased tax burden on the middle class to institute another government program which will be destined to fail.

Wrong category, it is an editorial. The election is over.
Take your bitch to management, boy.
Ha! What a great show that was. Today, a depiction of blacks in other than a compassionate, high IQ professionals, isn't permitted.
In the name of ...COMMON GOOD... the Obummers live the the blackest city of this country and have opted to send their kids to a PRIVATE WHITE SCHOOL. Making a laffing stock of the white guilters and blacks that voted color not character.
Calling management a bitch, figures.
The woman is stupid.
Pugs rule, all other dogs drool.
People who know me, and you, know the scoop Mikey. Nice try, tho.
Stupid and a black racist. She oozes racism.
And it should really stink when (and if) they took the time to find out how much on average is spent for education for each kid in DC. Wasn't all that long ago on CSPAN I heart someone bragging about various charter schools in and around DC tht were the greatest thing since hotcakes. Guess the big O&M don't care for hotcakes either.
And people who know me know I was making light of your lame comment. If you don't like listening to a reality check such as you chose to post an editorial piece from a fringe site as if it were breaking news, big outlet U.S.A. read the reality check, and move your butt along. It is not requisite to answer; it really isn't. And I am going to give you one whether you like it or not. Really Tom, you can be such a big baby about things.
You're NTBT McCarthy. Please tell us all again why war with Afghanistan
benefits America.
Heh, a cop metality telling me I'm NTBT. That's like a leper not wanting to touch something because he might catch their cold.
Heroin.
This cop despised the ADL, whereas you admire their work and further monitor 'hate groups.' You're a gold plated, leftist war mongering fraud, posing as a quasi constitutionalist.
YOU FIRST rich bitch. And just why is that we need "revamped" education and mandatory pay by all "universal health care?"
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition SILENT RUNNING OK, this alleged "war monger" could of very very easily gone to work for these guys: http://www.triplecanopy.com/triplecanopy/en/home/ You don't hear as much about Triple Canopy, but that is who helps Special Ops out, not Blackwater. Instead of making a wage with lots of zeros and a couple of commas in the annual income figure, or returning to active duty to SF which is critically short of my MOS, I stayed out and away from that because my personal sense of ethics dictated I do that. If I am indeed a "War Monger," I have a strange way of showing it.
You show your lust for war directly; you support Obama's and war with Afghanistan, a nation incidentally who has done nothing to America. That Mikey- boy makes you a 1st class war monger.
I don't buy that, and if the people are freed from the tyranny of the Taliban, the military presence is working for them, not persecuting them. I might ask you why you were a cop, oppressing and harrassing everyone in your city, and you likely would frame a rebuttal much like mine. I exited the Army immediately after the Panama War instead of staying for 20 years and a retirement as I had planned on doing when I went back in. I did this because that war taught me enough about the Bush crime family to realize it was foolish to be in the military with them in control. I also went to an anti-war demonstration on the New Haven Green in high school and turned the three day suspention for that into a two week one for the sit down strike in Morgan High in Clinton, CT protesting the suspentions for unauthorized absence for the demonstration. I was removed from the National Honor Society for this under the aupices of going to anti-war demonstrations are not considered good community leadership atributes, and because this tanked my GPA. I paid allot for my anti-Vietnam War sentiment, and I don't take your crapola about war mongerism the least bit seriously. You are quite mistaken. This demonstration happened in 1972 in the 71-72 school year there.
That isn't Obama's reason for going to war. That's your reason. Obama wants bin Laden, who is a fiction according to that infamous WG'er, Arator.

I still can't find the place in the Constitution where it gives the green light to entangling ourselves in foreign alliances let alone playing Cop O The World in a modern Empire with undeclared wars on various continents not our own. It's baffling how these former 4um Ron Paul supporters (Haaahahahaha!) have shifted beliefs like a reed blowing in the wind. Hmmmm. From Ron Paul to a infanticidical kosher neocon neocommie racist feral reserve fascist war monger puppet. Hmmmmmmmm

Isn't that one of the many excuses the Bush administration used for invading and occupying Iraq, that they were liberating the Iraqis from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein? The defenders of Bush's war will also say that US forces are protecting Iraqis, and not persecuting them. Many Iraqis, like many Afghans, disagree. There are two consistent positions to take. One is that we should play globocop by invading and occupying every country in the world with a regime that we don't like, with "liberation" as an excuse (i.e. support both Afghanistan and Iraqi wars), or the position that these things aren't America's job, and opposing involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The late LaWanda Page's character "Esther" really made that show great.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition SILENT RUNNING Because 'they' are using a different one. Our's has been dead for a while
SHE, really did! That sort of family relationship wasn't unique to the 'Sanford' household! I really enjoyed that old show!

I know that admitting this will "date me" as they say but one of the old tv shows I loved was Amos 'n Andy. De ol ' Kingfish and Lightnin' goin' to be whizzin' right down there. Not PC these days of course but way funny stuff.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I hear you, I remember.. well, uh, I heard about those shows.. GRIN.. The advertisements from that era were fantastic. We had injuns, and cannibals, the Frito bandito, and Cal Worthington, and Okie Joes. There was a time when were allowed to laugh at exaggerated stereotypes. I don't remember anyone insulted by the Hamm's Beer Bear either... .. from the land of sky blue waa-aater... I don't remember anyone offended by Mr. Moose and his promotion of Nestles Choc O late milk. (lets not forget the ovaltine kids)
That isn't Obama's reason for going to war. That's your reason. Obama wants bin Laden, who is a fiction according to that infamous WG'er, Arator. Obingo, Obango, Obongo. That pretty well sums it up. Osama Ben Goldstein (who IS legally Jewish - his mother was the daughter of a Syrian JEWISH Trading Family) was never a threat, did not crash the Twin Towers by waving his Magic Cellphone 3 times in a mystical cave in Tora Bora, and is likely dead and thus is not a credible excuse for murdering somewhere in the vicinity of 3 million innocent people. It is certainly not a legitimate justification for murdering yet more. Obongo is nothing more, and nothing less, than another tool put in power by the Banksters to continue to use war, murder, and pillage to further enrich already rich psychotics with a vision of their New World Odor - which results in their lording over all. If there is one thing the filthy murderous attacks ON the Middle East has NOT been about it is bringing "Demokracy" or a better life to these people. You do not bring people a better life by murdering them and stealing their natural resources.

And who appointed the USA to be the Democracy Czar for the world at large anyway? And who says Democracy is the best fit for all cultures and peoples? The USA is a bit over 200 years old. Iran and Iraq are ancient cultures. They seem to have survived a good long time using their own system until we started meddling in their affairs.

anyone who continues to buy that OBL story is in effect saying they buy the government's tale that OBL was responsible for 911. that wasn't the case, as far as i recall, while it was bush's war. it's so hypocritical.

I specifically mentioned Arator b/c he gets 9-11. That said, he's prepared to watch O wage war on an innocent nation in pursuit of, at best, a dead CIA asset. How anyone can sit in a corner with a cork in their mouth as yet another needless war is waged is sinful. Shame on him and McCarthy for applauding butchery.
Arator should take down his website. He's betrayed many. The ferret is, at best, a tool. At worst he's the neocommie version of the neocon yukon.
