Worst T B Attack in 20 Years Hits Florida

Well the sins of the tea party rich know no bounds.  Now because of the hospital closures ordered by governor Rick Scott of Florida, there has been an outbreak of taburculosis, and the one hospital in the state that’s been around for sixty years, is being closed.  This is the worst TB epidemic to strike America in the past twenty years.  Taburculosis is no longer considered a virtually extinct disease.  Texas, California, and Florida all three have highly mobile populations and are now plagued by outbreaks of the disease.  Of course Governor Rick Scott’s HMO had to pay a fine of a billion dollars or something for hospital fraud  but the people of Florida none the less elected this scum bag anyhow.  Rick Scott and Rick Perry of Texas and a lot of other tea party governors have in fact taken the stand that they are going to refuse all one hundred percent medical coverage for the people of their state “on principle”.  Are you people fermiliar with Jesus’ parable of the Wedding Feast.  One guy was kicked out of the party because he did not put on a wedding gown, even though these robes or whatever are routinely provided free at such gatherings.  If you snub your nose at free salvation, what is to be done for you?  If I were the President I’d be throwing up my hands.  Many times this President does not know how to frame an argument.  In some areas he just lacks horse sense.  For instance on the whole idea of letting the Bush tax cuts expire, were I this President I would go on and LET them expire because the government needs the money for the deficit.  If the Republicans object, then the President can say, “All right.  I’ll compromise with you.  We could cut taxes for SOME Americans.  I suggest those earning between fifty thousand and 250 thousand.  Certainly you people cannot object to such a broad tax cuts for so many Americans”.  Then the ball would clearly be in the republican’s court.  If no bill is passed I’d just say “It’s no great loss because the election will be over by then and we all won’t be addicted to looking at the unemployment figures every month”.

There is talk now that Reporters covering the Romney campaign have a personal dislike for their subject.  Unlike President Obama, Mitt Romney is not the sort of person you’d like to sit down in an air conditioned bar (on a day like this) and have a beer with.  I’d suggest something Irish.  Mit Romney is one who could be pegged as “Not a nice guy” and the better you get to know him the more shallow and unprincipled you realize the man is.  Reporters have also become impatient with Romney for not releasing the twelve years of his past income tax returns that his Father released in the 1968 campaign, even though George Romney wasn’t even in the race all that long.  There is also good news on the swing state front.  There are some five to eight states, that’s all, that will make or break this election.  And among states where the President and Romney have been running the most ads, the President wins hands down in the opinion polls of likely voters.  We all know because of the rigged voting machines, that the President should have at least a four or five percent margin to assure himself a win in that state by November.

I think we can agree that Christianity is pretty much DOA as a religion in this country any more.  If Satan actually existed as a personalized being the way people think, if I were Satan I’d be feeling pretty darn good about now, as I surveyed the wreckage of the Christian faith, that makes Hurricane Irene look like a summer breeze.  Here are a few more “lessons from the Bible”.  In the parable of the talents, the goal is to “put money in circulation” and not to horde it the way Romney and these others do in their off shore accounts in the Caaman Islands.  The poor put every penny of their tax cuts into the economy, but you can’t say that of the rich.  Prayer is something that is best done privately- - and not in public nationalistic displays.  Also prayer should mean something.  You should not pray idle words.  Also the Bible says that people who get in trouble because they obeyed God in what he told them, such people God doesn’t forget.  This is opposed to what Neil Savedra says to the effect that “One should NEVER allow himself be be in ANY situation where the outcome is dependant on God and that it’s important to rely on faith that God will act in a timely manner.  The Bible also says to “Do unto others as you would have then do unto you”.  I am pretty sure the unemployed who lost their jobs because of the machinations of Bane capital- - might just feel as though Mitt Romney were not following the Golden Rule here.  The Golden Rule is taught even in the Mormon faith.  Also some would see their own religion as a set of platitudes where “every answer is written down and committed to memory in caticisum school” or whatever.  Jesus actually said that if you have a problem, don’t look for the solution in a book, but rather “ask, seek, knock.  Everyone who asks will get an answer and knock and the door will be opened”.  The Bible also speaks against contaminating or destroying the faith that Children have.  So many on the tea party right I could spend the rest of this paragraph just on them.  Teaching your kids to be bigots or homophobes, is violating the natural “kind spirit” of children.  Most of all the Bible teaches against hypocracy and lying.  But also the Bible says to stick up for “the little guy”, which got Justice Sotomayor in trouble at her confirmation hearings.  The Bible says “as you did it unto others, you did it unto me” and “as you did it not unto others you did it not unto me”.  If you don’t stick up for the little guy who is being picked on and has no advocate, how can you rightly expect that someone will stick up for you in your moment of need?  Also the Bible subordenates affairs of business and money to “weightier matters” such as a person’s character.  Having good character is to be cherished more than fine gold.  Personally I think Mitt Romney would never be suspected as being “A man of principled character”.  And also if you allow something to be done in your name, you can’t hide behind it and say “The buck stops with the Other Guy” as Neil of KFI would have you believe.  Apparently Neil believes in a God who “can’t take responsibility for his own people”.  Most of Neil of KFI’s examples are so utterly foolish that a bright fifth grader can see through them.

I watched Bill Handel on KFI for the full three hours when I wasn’t at breakfast, mainly ‘Handel on the News”.  Bill Handel did misquote liberals in saying “They say the rich having money is unfair”.  That is not at all what liberals say.  They want fair tax laws, as in equity for all alike.  The reason why conser-vatives repeat things so much nobody even brings up could indicate some psychological issues.

I had Nicole Sandler once again and she had a woman on who’d had an abortion saying that having an abortion kept her from ruining her life, by destroying the life of an Innocent.  Judas Iscariot may not be directly guilty of murder but this woman is.  She said that fully one third of ALL women have had or will have an abortion, so that “one third of the women you know” have had an abortion.  I wonder what Paul would say about that.  I’m also wondering if it’s actually true, how it will affect the “women for Romney” push.

In other trivia, coconut milk can be swapped in for coffee creamer and things that call for cream.  There is still a lot of obsession with gluten.  The aspertane powder comes in blue packets and the saccrine, which has been around since the 1800’s comes in the familiar pink packets we use. 

As to the President’s announcement,  it’s a media misimpression that “People earning over $250,000 will lose their tax cut.  They will not.  They, too, will continue to get a tax discount on any money totaling under $250.000 - - and so will be paying less than they did under Clinton when people like Dr. Levy and Newt Gingrich say was such a wonderful period for the economy.  There is a veritable epidemic of black bear invasions of people’s private residences.

 Nobody takes a lid detector test voluntarily unless they have a high confidence that they will pass it.  This would even be truer if you were a major politician, who would not do anything to risk his poll numbers or adverse publicity.  If the politician were honestly surprised by the results- - for instance grinning after being asked the hardest questions- - only to find out later that he failed, personally I would suggest the test was rigged and someone wants him to look bad.
