Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies for UFO reporting. Weird, but necessary I guess. I say weird because many aerospace companies tend to avoid anything that may be deemed controversial like UFOs preferring to remain relatively inconspicuous and concentrate on their craft designs.

Unwanted Gifts: Obamacare passes Senate:

Senate approves health care reform bill – CNN.com

Who cares what the corrupt pigs did. They’re just guaranteeing their own downfall.

If it passes as it stands with the unconstitutional mandates and unconstitutional inequalities in taxation between states (among the other BS written into the bill) I will defy it at any cost.

It seems the pigs on the hill think giving the “gift” of taxation, unemployment, higher costs, subjugation and imprisonment for refusing their “mandate” is what America wants. It just shows how out of touch with reality, let alone the public, these elitist buffoons really are.

Senate passes health care reform bill – Baltimore Business Journal:

Not surprising the criminals and thugs passed the bill in the Senate and likely the criminals and thugs will pass it in the House since the Republicans and so-called Independents are just a bunch of cowards who would not stand up to a mouse if their lives depended on it. I’m not surpised Lieberman finally caved into his corrupt buddies but for a brief moment in time it was a nice little fantasy to think he was actually in synch with the will of the American people. I don’t really care anymore if they pass it or not because I wont obey it. Period.

The Associated Press: Democrats push to pass health care by Christmas

Go ahead and bring on the creation of the refusenik* class of people like myself wil not live under a government fining and jailing citizens for not buying government ordered services. Cripple the country in time for you to be collectively hung in the polls next year, morons.

Support State Nullification (aka the 10th Amendment Movement)!

FYI:
*Refusenik = Originally a Soviet citizen (usually a Jew) who was refused the right to emigrate from the Soviet Union and were often persecuted. Now, a person who refuses something often political in nature. Alternately spelled: refusnik.

It’s a storm alright…

There may be a storm in DC but it isn’t snow.

So America will follow such democratic giants as Kenya, Rwanda, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Zimbabwe in such fine “social justice” traditions as bribing and threatening their legislation into being. That’s certainly not the America I know.

Did Americans really agree that one state should be exempt from the costs of Obamacare while the rest get screwed over as is the case with the bribe given Senator Nelson? Do Americans think the government has the right to fine or jail citizens for not having health insurance? Do Americans really support trillions in debt on top of higher taxes? How does cutting reimbursment for doctors encourage doctors to take on Medicare patients? How does raising income taxes on American families make medical care cheaper? How does a 40% tax on “Cadillac” plans improve medical care and cut costs?

Exactly. Americans are about fairness, equality and justice. None of the bill is fair, equal, nor just.

So let the betrayers keep up their shenanigans. The people are watching and waiting, preparing and remembering. The arrogant fools will pay for their corruption in due course. Nothing can save them from the coming storm, not even cops threatening snowball throwing protesters.

Unfortunately this lists candidates for the corrupt parties in power, not any alternatives.

As for the Arizona Governor’s race I’m leaning more towards John Paul Mitchell than any other candidate at the moment. Freedom Arizona

The Associated Press: GOP signals more delays ahead for health bill

As do a number of others who are not GOP like union members (despite the SEIU claims), medical professionals, manufacturers, and ordinary citizens like myself who do not accept the statist and dictatorial notion that government has the right to order me to buy insurance or face imprisonment and fines.

As I’ve said before on the “mandatory” insurance, I will openly defy such a “mandate” should our politicians foolishly choose to pass it and dare anyone to try and enforce the “mandate” without facing massive resistance from the States and citizenry.

The National Review: Cap And Trade, Tax And Spend : NPR

An excellent review of why Congress’ Cap and Trade “jobs bill” should be killed: higher costs, greater unemployment, lower GDP,  and tax payer funded bailouts (through higher taxes on the middle class of course) of companies (especially utilities) and union workers (no the rest of us) that are hurt by a cap and trade system that has already been proven to not work in Europe. Anyone with half a brain know the true intent behind cap-and-tax (aka cap-and-trade) is to turn the U.S. into a second rate socialist state under the thumb of elitists who want to redistribute wealth, cripple industry, opportunities, and technology, destroy livelihoods, and eliminate freedom and liberty.

Newsbit commentary

White Americans to Lose Majority Status by 2050 – Sphere News

I could really care less about racial politics and who is a majority or not but I have to question alleged studies that continue the comparison of whites (a racial class) with Hispanics (an ethnicity)? They are considered two separate classifications and thus not comparable.

Predator drones hacked in Iraq operations | Security – CNET News

This isnt’ all that suprising. It was inevitable. Heck, my friends and I discussed this very thing at university a number of years ago. If nothing else, it’ll finally prod those in authority into further developing and implementing encryption security protocols. After all, if Shia fighters can do this with off the shelf software, then it’s guaranteed far more militarily capable nations are venturing into similar programs with far more insidious capabilities.

‘Cadillac Tax’ in Health Plan Would Hit Middle Class Hard — Politics Daily

Welcome to Obamanation. Does anyone really think they would be magically exempt from Obama’s reckless health care “reform” and the ensuing taxes? Of course not. The largest  tax base in the U.S. (and the easiest to exploit) is the middle class. And exploitation is the name of the game in Washington right now.
