LITTLE GIRL & AN ATHEIST.

 

An  atheist was seated next to a little girl on an  airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you  want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up  a conversation with your fellow passenger."

 

The  little girl, who had just started to read her book,  replied to the total stranger, "What would you  want to talk about?"

 

"Oh, I don't know," said  the atheist. "How about why there is no God, or no  Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled  smugly.

 

"Okay," she said. "Those could be  interesting topics but let me ask you a question  first.  A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same  stuff - grass.   Yet a deer excretes little pellets,  while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse  produces clumps.   Why do you suppose that  is?"

 

The atheist, visibly surprised by the  little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and  says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the little  girl replies,   "Do you really feel qualified to discuss  God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when  you don't know shit?"

 

And then she went back to  reading her  book.

Lots of questions and no answers is the theme of the Obama Administration.

Freedom of the Press

What is Freedom of the Press?

In Lovell v. Griffin (1938), Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote for a unanimous Supreme Court: “The liberty of the press is not confined to newspapers and periodicals. It necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. These indeed have been historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets of Thomas Paine and others in our own history abundantly attest. The press in its connotation comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion.” . . .

The New York Times (Hat Tip: James Taranto):

But in a debate that has focused largely on women, this fact is often overlooked: the majority of service members who are sexually assaulted each year are men.
In its latest report on sexual assault, the Pentagon estimated that 26,000 service members experienced unwanted sexual contact in 2012, up from 19,000 in 2010. Of those cases, the Pentagon says, 53 percent involved attacks on men, mostly by other men.

Obama needs to take Econ 101.

What we owe at the state level.

If you want more evidence that the Washington Post is in the bag for Obama just look at today's headline:  "Medicare's future appears brighter- TRUST FUND'S LIFE EXTENDED 2 YEARS - Health law cited; Social Security outlook is stable", now compare that with other publications that report " Medicare will reach insolvency by 2026 while Social Security’s two trust funds will become insolvent by 2033, the program’s trustees reported Friday"  In addition, the Social Security Disability trust fund will be insolvent by 2016 the next presidential election year.  The Post took a negative story and turned it positive even claiming Obama Care ( they don't use that term) is the reason things are looking so rosy. This would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.

The Washington Post sent a representative to an "Off the Record" meeting with Eric Holder and then printed a story cleared by the Justice Department summarizing the meeting, so what I have suspected all along is now official the Post is the house organ for the Obama administration.  You can bet your last dollar that no subpoenas will be requested for Post staffer's e-mails.  The paper should now change its name to the Washington Post Democrat. 

Climate change is an acceptable term, the global climate is changing all the time, and has changed many times over history.  Global warming is a more controversial term with a lot of political under tones and over tones.

What the hell is tax exempt status and why do we even have it in our tax code?

Yesterday there was a big to do in the news about Apple Corp. shielding profits by hiding them overseas, I suspect that Apple is not the only company given our confiscatory corporate tax structure, but what is truly amazing is the tax exempt status of so many organizations like churches, labor unions and political advocacy groups.

In recent years, more organizations involved in political causes have applied for tax exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, which allows them to keep the names of their donors secret. 

Members of congress, and the media should stop trying to play got ya with the current administration and focus on the real scandal OUR TAX CODE.

And then this........

The six Cincinnati workers we have identified, who sent scrutinizing letters to conservative groups with words including “patriot, liberty, tea party or 9-12″ in their names are Mitchel Steele, Carly Young, Joseph Herr, Stephen Seok, Liz Hofacre and a woman identified only as Ms. Richards.
But was all of this done at the hands of a small group of Cincinnati employees working together? During Friday’s congressional hearing, that appeared to be the theme. Now, that explanation just became less likely.
Thanks to two FOX19 sources connected to the IRS, we now understand the chain of command for these workers.
Mitchel Steele, Carly Young, Joseph Herr and Liz Hofacre are IRS agents. Stephen Seok is a supervisor IRS agent.
But according to the IRS employee directory that FOX19 has obtained exclusively, each of these agents has a different manager and then above them a different territory manager.
That is important because while it may sound reasonable to the average person that these workers began targeting groups on their own, the IRS structure is designed to prevent that.

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

The media are shifting into high gear in their defense of President Obama, blaming the Republicans for pushing the scandal button when there is really nothing there.  Its the same thing they did when Clinton was impeached, remember, its a private matter.  Benghazi, the IRS and the AP wire taps were all done without the President's knowledge and the Republicans are blowing them all out of proportion, it is another example of the complete partisanship of the main stream media, don't ever expect it to change. 

Compare this to Steven Rattner's (former Obama car czar) claim in the NY Times this day that the White House had nothing to do with the IRS scandal.

Benghazi-Does it matter at this point?

Both parties are wrong about Benghazi. Existing evidence does not point to a far-reaching cover-up on the scale of Watergate, as Republicans want you to believe. But it is not, as the White House claims, nothing.
The administration’s response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on U.S. installations in eastern Libya was inaccurate, irresponsible and shrouded by campaign-style spin. It belied President Obama’s oft-broken promise to run a transparent government.
If nothing else, Benghazi is a blow to the credibility of the president and his potential successor, then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. This could be big.  National Journal, Ron Fournier 5/10/2013

My conclusion is that the Democratic Party establishment are by and large hypocritical, elitist and racist, examples are everywhere, just look at how Clarence Thomas is treated by the left.  The Richardson/Cruz story is just another example, if you don't agree with them you are worthless.

 The number of Americans receiving disability benefits exceeds the entire population of Greece.

According to newly released data from the Social Security Administration, the record 10,962,532 total disability beneficiaries in April, included a record 8,865,586 disabled workers (up from 8,853,614 in March), 1,936,236 children of disabled workers, and 160,710 spouses of disabled workers.
According to its latest census, Greece had only 10,815,197 residents.

MAUREEN DOWD: Say, Obama’s not actually that good at being President, is he? “Actually, it is his job to get them to behave. The job of the former community organizer and self-styled uniter is to somehow get this dunderheaded Congress, which is mind-bendingly awful, to do the stuff he wants them to do. It’s called leadership. He still thinks he’ll do his thing from the balcony and everyone else will follow along below. That’s not how it works.”

Why is the U.S. Economy So Slow to Recover?

Since late 2007, the Fed has pumped more than $2 trillion into the U.S. economy by buying bonds. Economist Allan Meltzer asked: "Why is there such a weak response to such an enormous amount of stimulus, especially monetary stimulus?" The answer, he said, is that the obstacles to faster economic growth are not mainly monetary. Instead, they lie mostly with business decisions to invest and hire; these, he argued, are discouraged by the Obama administration's policies to raise taxes or, through Obamacare's mandate to buy health insurance for workers, to increase the cost of hiring.

U.S. NO England YES Canada YES   Check this last set of statistics!!

"Silence of the Drones" - I love this phrase because it accurately describes the program now in use to further  US foreign and domestic policy, and it describes the lack of public outcry to a government program with no  apparent checks and balances.  I am not completely against the use of drones to eliminate foreign enemy combatants but I would like to know how the selection process works and how it could potentially be applied in the domestic arena.  I vividly remember the "enemies list" that was the subject of outrage during the Nixon years.  The potential for government abuse here is frightening.
