Happy Halloween!!!!

Someone posted this on my timeline on Facebook of these talented kids doing a cover of This is Halloween from the movie by Tim Burton "Nightmare Before Christmas".
When this movie hit video I bought it and it seemed to be one of my kids favorite when growing up. It must have been because they wore it out over time.
I'm not sure of the appeal but if I had to choose a favorite it would be "Kidnap the Sandy Claws".



Anyway Happy Halloween to everyone and a special shout out to a fellow blogger Covertress who had to go offline for a while because of her struggles in Obama's economy.

We're Too Stupid to know What's Good for us

I've been keeping an eye on the spin the leftards have been generating today after more news about health
insurance cancellations have come out and the basic spin is we had crap insurance policies before.
Obviously the democrats big "gubberment" has to come to the rescue.

The only reason people "like" pre-ACA plans is they know shit about them. CBS lady thought she had a $50 copay. Nope http://t.co/5JSapONBxQ

Then just a little while ago I ran across this video at WeasleZippers.


So the Obama administration wants to control the debate by silencing the insurance companies so we as consumers, who don't know shit, can't make an informed decision.
I can't for the life of me understand the utter contempt this administration has for the people of this country.
We're being forced into an over priced, bloated government run boondoggle simply because these elitist pricks honestly think we're too stupid to choose what is best for ourselves and our families.
They fancy themselves as the only ones wise enough to decide how we should spend our money by taking the choice away from us on what we choose to be insured for.

Our option of being adults is slowly being eroded away by the persistent nanny staters who fight furiously to take it away from us.

Internment on the Arizona

Here's something that I wasn't aware of and I'm sure many others may not be but the U.S.S. Arizona is still an active final resting place.
Before the survivors of the Arizona at Pearl Harbor pass on in their twilight years they can request to be interred with their shipmates.
A full ceremony with honor guard is given before their ashes are handed off to the chief diver who swims to the 4th gun turret and selects the location to leave the ashes.
One day soon these ceremonies will no longer be needed as the last one is interred and a part of our living history will be gone.

Facing the Truth about Obamacare

We're starting to see more stories like this.

Over 96 Percent of Obamacare Enrollees in Maryland Signed Up for Medicaid

Back on October 22, Jim Geraghty explained why it was important to separate new Medicaid enrollments out from the total enrollment numbers for Obamacare.
We can do that now with Maryland’s state-run exchange, Maryland Health Connection. According to a press release Friday, 85,659 people have enrolled through the exchange. However, 82,473 of those have signed up for Medicaid, accounting for just over 96 percent of sign ups.
Of course, Maryland isn’t the only state with more enrollments in Medicaid than in insurance plans; both Kentucky and New York are seeing the same phenomenon.

Of course we got a hint of the real agenda with Obama's response to Joe the Plumber before the election, the redistribution of income.
The liberal/commie media then went into "cover Obama's ass" mode immediately to carry their messiahs water while simultaneously doing their trademark willful omission of anything that might embarrass the democrat party or Obama.

Leftwing media

NBC is just now reporting that Obama knew that those who liked their insurance couldn't keep it even when he was mouthing the words. Pretty much after the fact and while Obamacare swiftly dismantles the current system.

It's no coincidence that those who are shocked by the increase in premiums are the people who've worked hard and been responsible for themselves and their own health insurance. But a very large number of people will receive very low cost to free healthcare (close to half) while those in higher tax brackets will be punished  for being able to take care of themselves. All while crippling the economy and making more people dependent on government for their needs.

This has been the plan all along, to shift the burden and expense of healthcare to those who have the audacity to earn enough to be independent from the government. A monumental redistribution of wealth.

The real crime here is the complicity of the lickspittle media who, while Pelosi was saying we need to pass it to see what's in it" deliberately withheld reporting what the pitfalls were along with the breathless news about preexisting conditions and adult children hanging onto mom and dads insurance. All for the purpose of covering up for the administration before the next election so the American people couldn't make an informed decision.

So the question is, if the derelict media isn't going to act like a free press, why do they still deserve the constitutional protections of one?

Also when are the American people going to finally hold them accountable?

Cold Front Moving into Hell?

Must be a freeze warning in Hades, CNN actually being critical of the Obama administration?
Almost 5 year into this failed administration and just now someone hits these idiots with a clue bat.
Better late than never I suppose.

Obamacare's Lopsided Enrollment

Boy it's just getting better and better ain't it. This boondoggle is such a failure that even the lapdog,lickspittle liberal media can't ignore it anymore.
This whole thing is on track to become an even bigger trainwreck than predicted.
I dare anyone to come up with any government program that has been run successfully that wasn't loaded with pork and mismanagement and then consider very carefully how good can a government mandated healthcare system be.

Sebelius and the Arrogance of the Ruling Class

In the private sector if an employer has a an employee who is not responsive to their customers then it's a wise employer who fires the one and hires another that will actually take responsibility for the job they're hired to do. (with the possible exception of single franchised utilities, try reasoning with an electric utility worker)
That's because the salaries are derived from the voluntary use or purchases of what that private business offers.
However when government confiscates revenue at will from earners and uses it to pay the salaries of arrogant, self-important, appointed civil servants their salaries aren't dependent on a customers good will.
What happens then is the arrogance of unaccountability.
Sebelius thinks she doesn't have to answer to congress, sort of like Lois Lerner.

Looking down at the little people.

They're civil servants and the government has mandated that we use their services so we have no choice but to pay their salaries and take it when they tell us to pound sand.

This ain't a new thing but it has come into full display because of the current occupant of the White House who's basically set the tone for open disdain of the citizens of this country.

What they're saying to us is we have to take their mediocrity and incompetence and there ain't a damn thing we can do about it.

Elections do have consequences you know.
