The House Bill's Health Insurance Czar | Fix Health Care Policy

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:42:10 -0800

"While the House sponsors of the bill want the Commissioner to keep closer watch over the insurance industry, this amounts to an enormous concentration of power in one person.

It would also undermine the ability and the independence of the states to embark on their own health insurance market reforms."

"The Arena defection is no ordinary betrayal of the electorate. In Salvador voters choose a party ticket. Congressmen are named according to how many votes the party gets. These congressmen were not elected as individuals but rather as representatives of the elected party. With their votes the FMLN is now only one or two votes short of a two-thirds majority. If it gets that majority, the party can tell the moderate Mr. Funes what to do. Then Chávez acolytes will be well on their way to winning what their bedfellows could not in Honduras."

Pro-Democracy Iranians to Obama: ‘You're with Them or You're with Us' | OutloudOpinion

"Uniquely among the broadcast network evening newscasts, NBC Nightly News correspondent Ali Arouzi" stationed in Tehran" showed a clip of anti-government demonstrators chanting their message to President Obama, as he translated their words into English. During a report that focused mainly on the government-orchestrated anti-America protest organized to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, Arouzi also passed on the activities of anti-government activists: "On a day when anti-American sentiment runs high, the opposition was looking for support from President Obama, chanting, "Obama, Obama, either you're with them or you're with us.""

Pajamas Media & Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:58:33 -0800

The brave soldiers who were massacred at Fort Hood had trained to fight the jihadist enemy abroad. But they seem to have ended up being murdered by the same enemy on American soil, in a place where they thought they were safe -- murdered, apparently, because a series of military and medical officials recognized what was going on with this major and chose to do nothing about it.

CNN reporters kept hammering home the line that Hasan had been the victim of anti-Muslim prejudice by his military colleagues. Repeatedly they read out, and showed onscreen, a long statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemning the massacre -- never mentioning, of course, CAIR's well-established terrorist links.
MY COMMENT:
Jihadis use other instances to explain their murderous acts... they use US intervention or Israel settlements but it is all BS and the media and others jump on those excuses to try to understand why.

"On August 27, 2009 a suicide bomber attempted to assassinate Saudi Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Prince Muhammad bin Naif, who is in charge of Saudi Arabia's anti-Al-Qaeda campaign. Following the assassination attempt, the Saudi press, both inside and outside the country, published numerous anti-terrorism cartoons. Some cartoons focused on the terrorists themselves, portraying them as blind or brainless, as deluded by false promises of Paradise, or as misinterpreting and harming Islam. Others stressed that terrorism hurts the perpetrators more than anyone else, and that Saudi Arabia, thanks primarily to its security apparatuses, is stronger than the terrorists.

Especially interesting is the visual representation of the terrorists in these cartoons: they are portrayed as faceless monsters, as animals (mostly cockroaches or other insects), or as puny figures, dwarfed by large images representing Saudi Arabia and its security forces. "

"Looks like the notorious UN Human Rights Council has taken a break from its constant bashing of Israel and is focusing on (ready for this?) housing violations in US cities, including New York.

You didn't know that "adequate housing" (whether you pay for it or not) was a universal human birthright?

Neither did we.

Nonetheless, the panel sent its "special rapporteur on adequate housing," Raquel Rolnik, on a whirlwind tour to sniff out these "violations" -- not to say, crimes -- against humanity. "
