Re: Trump rides issue of Obama's birth certificate

Goldwater was born here and proved it. The DNC still took him off of some of the ballots. Unless Obaama proesents a Govennment issues birth certificate puting him on the ballot should get the various Secretaries of State arrested including the ones serving in 2008..

They can be facts. There were decades when all of the arguments against Tectonic Plates were ad hominems because the theory was by a metrologist and not a geologist which was a fact.
On second thought President Barack Obama is the ad hominem here in this case since it is his responsibility under the constitution to positively prove his birth for age and place. As he has not done so gives the logic victory to his opponents. A failure to complete required tasks does not obligate the challenger to prove the assertion is false. An absence of proof is sufficient to nullify Obama's authority for appointments to Judgeships and other Government positions. He does not need to be removed from office. When the Democrats made a sting about Goldwater's birth I bet they never thought that they would not only loose before the Surpreme Court but boobytrap their own President 46 years later.

Re: General David Petraeus tipped to take over CIA

Avitar — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:39:01 -0000

I don't see it. The Obama administration has too much to hide. Obama certainly put a complete intelligence novice in the form of Leon Panetta in as CIA director. So the idea of shunting Petraeus into the CIA would not be delayed by that. The old hands Bush left at the CIA told the truth in classified papers within the CIA and then lied on the pages of the NYT. Put someone who is neutral in that office and you will have truth in the classified papers and on the pages of the newspapers.

Re: Huckabee's Gubernatorial Records Missing

Palin was a great Governor. She got a lot of the crooks out of the Alaskan Republican Party. She cut a deal with Canada for taking Alaskan natural gas to the lower 48 states via a Canadian pipeline. Under her the Alaskan National Guard manned America's on-shore missile defense site, (It was delayed by Clinton and Bush had to send the regular military to the sandbox to fight Al Qaeda, before the site could be setup.) As a Governor on the north Pacific she picked up a hell of a load that the State Department dropped on fisheries, navigation of cross polar plane routes, and Pacific commerce. She did as much as any Governor of the last half century. She did all this from a state with the smallest population. That is why she so frightens New York liberals.

• No it does matter. Do the Republicans fall to being complete crooks just because the Democrats do it? No! I realize that many Professional Media people and politicians admire Spiro Agnew because he got liberal votes in Maryland and won the Governorship by being a crook but when that came out when he was Vice-President it destroyed the Republican Party in 1973 until Reagan rebuilt it.
I am not going to vote for Romney because I know the liberal things he did as a Governor and now I will not vote for Huckabee because I do not know what he did as Governor.

No we just know Chicago politics. Obama has always fixed his elections well before a vote was cast.
My grandfather was brought in to try to determine all of what Michelle Obama's grandfather did to stuff the ballot box for Kennedy/Johnson in 1960. Actually they did not use boxes, but voting machines that the levers on the front were not attached to the totaling accumulator wheels in the back. In any case Kennedy got more votes than the Census found people that year. Democrats never trust an election that involves an actual vote.

If people knew more about the financial reform it would be the least popular. Why the media would sell a bill by a Senator who his retirement house, in Ireland! to the public I do not know. I would think that a senator who started off in 1975 supporting Pol Pot's take over would be telegraphing that the media that his ideas were bad ones by now, but they are still buy his ideas after thirty-five years of disasters.

Re: Prediction 2009: No Net Neutrality Regulation

Avitar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:04:43 -0000

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! This article by Cord Blomquist could not be more off the mark. As a computer engineer, my computer network experience goes back before President Reagan released the Internet to commercial use in the 1980's. As a student of history, I have to endorse the view expressed in: "Nature abhors a vacuum.”

Anything that is not explicitly placed outside of control will inevitably be seized for influence, status and profits. It can be by Governments or Corporations on NGO, somebody is trying to steal everything not nailed down. It is also important to remember, “If it can be pried-up then it is not nailed down.” One only has to consider the right to free speech and all of the exceptions created by the Political Correctness police to see that this is true.

The Chinese government will censor the American Internet if cooperating with the censors is not a crime. The local politicians, (think Governor Blajovich) will offer to allow Internet services to be made a metered franchised monopoly in exchange for campaign contributions. Corporations like Comcast will enter into agreements (secret and otherwise) to limit the availability of content to preferred providers in exchange for consideration unless the upper management can look forward to being dragged into court every week. The proposal that was offered in Congress that any company with right-of-way be allowed to run fiber to the house is probably the best one.

Technically the most expensive part of the Internet is securing right-of-way, followed by the cost of installing fiber. The bandwidth falls under Moores Law and fiber can be pushed into the Terabyte per second range if the electronics at each end are upgraded long enough. Bandwidth should currently be in the 600 Megabit per second range for home service. However, businessmen benefit by making the commodity they sell scarce and costly. Builders support zoning boards, BP advertises Environmentalism and Comcast and the other ISP support “Bandwidth management.”

Re: A Nobel Low: Krugman Calls Small Government Philosophies Racist

Avitar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:35:46 -0000

Krugman has to reject the Laffer curve to support his belief that big Government is a benifit to anybody. Is he rejecting that if Government collects too much people die? Of course he has heard of China's great leap forward and the associated fifty millioin dead from too much "progressive" Government.

Of course Mr. Kugman is just selling soap for people who give him money for doing so and doesn't believe a word he is saying.

Re: Green for the Greens, Lumps of Coal for Everyone Else

Avitar — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:24:06 -0000

Coal is our most abundant energy resourse? Not quite true. While America has something around a thousand years of coal, if we use breeder nuclear reactors we have at least three thousand years of nuclear energy. That is without the invention of the fusion power reactor.

Energy shortages will always be short term and the result of Government action. Remember when Jimmy Carter predicted that the US would be out of natural gas in thirty years. That was thirty years ago.

Nobody is looking to prove energy reserves for the thirty first century. That does not mean that they are not there.

Re: Bailouts Unconstitutional Failures

Economists have a very poor grasp of time delays and time shifts. The oil shocks of the 1970's gave a very good insight into the fundamental delays of the economy as having a decay cycle of about two years. I think that the velocity of muney may have increased in the last thirty years but I doubt that it is all that much.

This extreme measures that the Government is taking is going to be with us for two years and every stupid thing that the Government does from here on out will be with us longer. If it weren't for Reagan we could still be suffering inflation while whipping back and forth between Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon' s Kensian policies.

The world’s countries that are the largest carbon sinks are in order, Canada, Russia and the United States. The forests of these countries absorb the largest amount of carbon without re-releasing it to the atmosphere. Each country is a net oxygen exporter. The United States with the long established Arbor day reforestation would be well ahead of Russia except the US does burn a great deal of carbon based fuel.

Climax tropical rain forests have powerful carbon recycling mechanisms. In the 1970's some of NASA's observations showed that the termites produced more carbon dioxide than all of man's activities. That was before China modernized and the industrialization of Korea the other parts of what is call the emerging markets so I do not think that the termites are still ahead of us. That humankind is less than 2% of the carbon cycle on the emissions side is important to keep in mind. The effects deforestation in reducing carbon dioxide absorption is four or five times greater than all carbon emissions.

The post is dishonest in that nobody ever proposes a total Government take over of Health care. People on Medicare just woke up one day and the plan administrators had made it illegal for doctors doing business to even mention alternative treatments that the Medicare does not cover. Most nation health systems have some free speech restrictions on discussing health treatments that the administarors consider unnecessary. Nobody ever proposes Government take over of Health care, the civil servants become involved and you wakeup one day and the take over has happened. Then to objective of the Health care system changes from providing health to "Saving money" and the doctors that bureaucrats hire quit testing blood transfusions for HIV or using clean needles to give vacinations. ( both ways that milllion of people got AIDs.

Re: Credit Spiral

AMEX is hurting right now. They are very close to going under; this is why they restructured themselves as a bank. Without the restructuring, they would not qualify for Government Bailout money. Drowning men often strike out. One should always view corporations huge stupid beasts.

As for your problem, try approaching a local bank or credit union for a rolling 90-day loan. You have to make the payments and at the end of each 90 day, the new loan has to be less than the previous loan but it is well-structured traditional financial instrument, the interest should be rational and the rules do not change on you in the middle of a month. The current crop of “Investment Banks” is pulling things the loan sharks would not dream of doing fifty years ago.

Re: Health Care Bureaucrats Take Care of Themselves

Avitar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:45:51 -0000

The purpose of universal health care is to ration health to those people who the ruling elite want to die. Programs like Social Security cannot operate if too many people stay alive. The Governor of Colorado and chairman of the DNC said it clearly some years ago, "the old have a duty to die." If the old do not cooperate with this part of the Democrat program, the Democrat Party will eliminate the alternative.
