SOCIALISM:

Top 20 socialist sound bites from Obama and his partners.

In case anybody mistook drug dealers for libertarians, the Teamsters in California organized the first marijuana growers union.

Obama is trying to get the Chinese to buy a stake in GM. If this happens, with all the Democrats saying Republicans outsource jobs to China, the American people will go nuts. Obama isn't just evil, he's stupid too.

ECONOMY:

The Russians understand how to stimulate their economy: fire 100,000 bureaucrats. If only Americans were that dedicated to freedom.

TAX AND SPEND:

Washington state proposes high income tax on high earners in order to chase them out of the state to saner pastures.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Kristen Bell wants to end the Fed. Or does she?

REGULATION:

The FDA refuses to require genetically modified food producers to label their food and instead blocks efforts of non-GM food producers to label their food as natural. I always enjoy a good reminder that all government agencies exist solely to expand the power of bureaucrats and their political masters, which means protecting their big-politically-spending corporate cronies, at our expense.

Apparently sand castles are illegal on federal land. So is videoing. According to my constitution, the federal government owning land it isn't using is illegal.

POLICE STATE:

Police to charge 84 year old man hospitalized by assault by police officer.

"Travis Lamont, the costumed government enforcer who assaulted Daniel Daley outside an Orlando bar on the morning of September 18, is 26 years old. His victim is 84 years old and uses a walker. Lamont, as a member of the state’s enforcement caste, was armed. Daley was not.

Eyewitnesses to the assault insist that the elderly man never harmed or threatened Lamont in any way. His “offense” was to grab the younger male’s shoulders to balance himself when he stumbled. This “assault” supposedly justified a violent attack in which Lamont body-slammed the elderly man head-first into the pavement.

In his report, Lamont claims that Daley “cocked his right hand back as if to throw a punch”; the officer “feared a physical attack was imminent,” to he “directed him [Daley] to the ground with an arm bar technique…. In the process of directing the subject to the ground, the right side/top forehead [of the victim] struck the pavement.” Apparently, Lamont “directed” the old man so forcefully that witnesses on the scene feared that they had just witnessed an act of homicide.

Eyewitness Sean Hill recalls the sickening noise made when Daley’s head collided with the asphalt: “Like a watermelon — pop!”"

The wrong guy is being charged here, but the police officer and the prosecutor are on the same team, team confiscation, who get paid by stealing money from citizens at the point of a gun, so they stand together, along with the judge.

Men arrested in Britain for allegedly planning to kill the Pope plan to sue for false arrest since no such plan existed. But it sure made for positive headlines for the government at the time.

The FBI coerces another sucker into planting a fake bomb so they can arrest him and make big headlines making themselves look good.

iPhone ap for reporting your neighbor to the EPA and homeland security. The police state wins once it gets people to do its dirty work.

POLITICS:

If the House adjourns three weeks early to campaign, it will backfire on them. But those freaks are so out of touch they probably don't realize it.

Independents still don't trust Republicans on spending. Good.

Obama suspected of that time-honored Democrat crime mastered by Linden Johnson and Bill Clinton of pulling tax records of political enemies and using it against them.

MEDIA:

Archie comics presents pointed commentary on our ruling class with a comic featuring Obama and Palin sharing a malt in the malt shop. Sweet.

LOCAL:

For a year or so I've suspected that the rash of fires in Dayton must be being caused by arsonists. There's a report of a fire in the paper daily. I hear the fire engines every day. Today I see a story about two arson attempts on the same house within five hours. I think we're suffering a rash of arsons because of our economic problems.

MISC:

100 years ago, people probably only got sick when they had a disease like tuberculosis or flu or they injured themselves or got an infection. The medical profession evolved to diagnose those external problems and treat them. But today most people are sick because of their lifestyles. The problems are internal, not external, and medicine hasn't evolved to handle that. Doctors diagnose and treat these internal problems the same as they do external ones. Unfortunately that often ends up exacerbating the problem by masking the symptom without addressing the root lifestyle problem.
