Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains to a propaganda saturated U.S.
I'm seeing a pattern here. TCO, The Dalai Obama is willing to throw Liberty under the proverbial bus to further his ideal of "talking with our enemies without preconditions". He was perfectly willing to say little regarding Iran, but under similar circumstances he was willing to side with the likes of Castro and Chavez over Honduras. As WSJ points out, the action taken by Honduras was legal.
My money is on an invasion by Venezula, Cuba or both. The U.S. will do nothing.

Both Sides of Their Mouths
The Beer: Deekawife 3.0 was wonderful enough to pick me up a few Belgians.
The Bicycle: The ride Sunday was brutal. 30 mph winds with gusts to 40.
The VRWC: Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. I think this makes it clear what the Administrations intention is regarding nuclear power. First shut down Yucca Mountain, then stop all progress toward reprocessing. More delay to kill the viability of nuclear power.

Maybe Uncontrolled Spending?
The Beer: Time to get more ingredients. I'd like to brew up a Blonde Ale and something else, but I don't know what. Feel free to suggest.
The Bicycle: River Valley Ride in Newburg today. Riding with a (Conservative) friend and his (Conservative) friend. I will make my views known amongst the Lefties. Last time I rode this, every freakin' Leftist and his brother was there. The Lefties have no problem spewing their hate for us on the Right, so I would think they would have no problem hearing from me, right? I said, "RIGHT"?!?!?!?
The VRWC: Of course it's the tax end and not the spending end. Why, government should have the ability to tax you into oblivion without any push-back at all.
Oh, and make sure the hit-piece has the required anecdotal sob-stories.
See, it's not the spending, you big, mean, selfish anti-taxers.

Unions Exempt?
This can't go over well with non-union Democrat supporters. A bone to the unions, "busing" everyone else.
How about if we don't tax benefits at all?

Terrified of the Future
Cap and Tax passed the House today. This bill will usher in a new Dark Age. Plan on your energy being rationed...unless you are of the ruling class or a government functionary.
Obamacare will be worse. Thank your local Democrat voter.
This scares the hell out of me.

Worst....Legislation....Ever
Cap and Trade will doom this economy.
Vote should be tomorrow. Sensenbrenner is going to vote against. Petri and Kagen need some last minute "advice".
Call your Congressman!

A Sign of the Apocalypse
What do we expect will happen here? Have we become that enamored with the Nanny State that we are unable to see the potential consequences here? The entire article is here.
This is the most disturbing:
The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector.
OK, Americans are pretty generous folks. I'm good with that. But at what point has the government shown any ability to hold down costs? The only way this happens is by rationing services and artificially controlling the market.
Riddle me this Bat-Head: What happens to all the jobs in private health insurance? I know...public option. But the fact is, once the public option is put out there, employers will quit offering private insurance and eventually, you will be unable to obtain it at any price. Right now, when insurance denies your claim, you have can pay out-of-pocket. When the government denies your claim, you are out-of-luck. Remember HillaryCare? Sanctions, even criminal penalties against doctors who provide fee-for-service? You will not be able to get anything the government will not allow. So, back to the question. Do all these people get absorbed into the government bureaucracy? Or are the out on the street. I don't care for either option.
This is crazy. This is not the country I grew up in. This is not the country envisioned by the likes of Thomas Jefferson. This is Bizarro-World.
