Free kibbles

SOCIALISM:

Bush's Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, gave his cronies a heads up to get out of Fannie and Freddie stocks before the government socialized the GSEs, wiping out their stock. This is a good reminder that government exists to enrich and protect the super-rich at the expense of the people.

The National Labor Relations Board was never an independent referee. Nothing in government is independent.

TAX AND SPEND:

The majority of Republicans have always supported cutting the payroll tax despite the attempts by the media to pretend otherwise. That's a bunch of baloney to fuel Obama's class warfare campaign.

"Some analysts estimate the payroll tax cut is estimated to boost economic growth by as much as 1.5 percentage points."

If tax cuts boost the economy, why are Democrats and their media allies trying to raise taxes? They pretend raising taxes on the rich won't harm the economy, but they can't have it both ways. Taxes influence behavior and therefore the economy.

HEALTH CARE:

The government diet makes kids fat, then the government takes them away from their parents.

First the government steals our money to make people fat and sick, then they steal our money for obesity prevention.

"Medicare announced Tuesday it will pay for screenings and preventive services to help recipients curb obesity and the medical ailments associated with it, primarily heart disease, strokes and diabetes."

If we saved our money by abolishing the USDA and the FDA, we wouldn't be obese, and we'd be far wealthier, but no. We're the stupidest people in the world.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

The feds plan to destroy a small beach town to save it from global warming.

Oregon museum cancels panel because skeptics were on it. They can't win a debate against them, so they have to silence them.

POLICE STATE:

The media refuse to call the Norwegian man who killed dozens of youths at a camp a terrorist even though he committed mass murder for political reasons. Also, a court has ruled the man insane. You don't see Muslim terrorists ruled insane.

You can expect to see drones everywhere monitoring your every move. I don't mind replacing manned aircraft with unmanned aircraft for chasing criminals, monitoring pipelines or crop dusting, but that's just the selling point. The reality is police and the feds will use them to monitor us every minute of every day. And don't think they'll only monitor us when we're outside. They'll equip the drones with technology that sees through roofs and walls, and they'll monitor us in our homes, businesses and everywhere else.

American ex-pat explains why Mexico is more free than America. The United States of Prisons.

WAR:

The terrible costs of the Iraq war.

In a prediction of more war and economic collapse, we get this sad truth:

"One would think such a totally failed president would be easy to defeat. Given an historic opportunity, the Republican Party has put before the electorate the most amazingly stupid and vile collection of prospects, with the exception of Ron Paul who does not have the party’s support, that Americans have ever seen."

I'm sure there have been worse candidates, but it's hard to imagine a worse field of candidates with the exception of Ron Paul. Like I said before, Ron Paul is far and away the most electable of the bunch. He'd wipe the floor with Obama. But the accomplice press of both parties wants us to think Paul is un-electable while the rest are. They're turning Americans upside down. And given what we saw in those debates, any Republican, other than Paul, will be as bad or worse than Obama. They will start new wars and expand the police state like Obama. They're going to pass more oppressive laws and expand the size and scope of government like Obama. If Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination, our society will continue to collapse at an accelerating rate. This is an interesting theory:

"The day prior to Thanksgiving also brought another extraordinary development--the failure of a German government bond auction, an unparalleled event.Why would Germany, the only member of the EU with financial rectitude, not be able to sell 35% of its offerings of 10-year bonds? Germany has no debt problems, and its economy is expected by EU and US authorities to bear the lion’s share of the bailout of the EU member countries that do lack financial rectitude.I suspect that the answer to this question is that the failure of the German government’s bond auction was orchestrated by the US, by EU authorities, especially the European Central Bank, and private banks in order to punish Germany for obstructing the purchase of EU member countries’ sovereign debt by the European Central Bank."

I don't put anything past these people anymore.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Iranians sack the British embassy in response to new sanctions.

How western intelligence agents are tearing Syria apart to weaken Iran.

POLITICS:

Is Newt for real or just the latest flash in the pan?

The Occupiers have cost Americans way more than $13 million.

Democrats abandoning Obama.

"President Obama's cheerleaders are starting to peel away along with his approval ratings, and it's a fascinating sight to behold. They offer different reasons, but they all boil down to one obvious thing -- Obama is first and foremost about Obama -- and one less obvious: He has been a failed president.Democratic pollsters Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen, admittedly more centrist than most of their Democratic counterparts, penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal urging Obama "to abandon his candidacy for re-election."The authors conclude that the only way Obama could possibly win in 2012 would be "to wage the most negative campaign in history," because he has no successful record to run on.If he would happen to win in that way, he wouldn't be able to govern, they say, so he should step aside and allow Hillary Clinton to run."

Maybe that's why we just saw that hagiography on Hillary Clinton.

More evidence that the sexual assault charges against DSK were the result of a political hit.

"The article, due to be published on Saturday, notably questions whether a missing BlackBerry phone had been hacked by Strauss-Kahn's political rivals.It quotes unnamed sources close to Strauss-Kahn saying that he had been warned in a text message the day of his arrest that an email he'd sent to his wife from the BlackBerry had been read at the offices of Sarkozy's UMP party in Paris.The article also reports that a security camera caught the hotel's head engineer, Brian Yearwood, high-fiving another man and appearing to dance in celebration, near to the maid, as she awaited the arrival of police."

Like I said, I don't put anything past these people anymore. Roman emperors were more trustworthy.
