Congressman Rev. Cleaver Accidentally Makes An Accurate Comparison

First of all, I find it interesting that Cleaver reveals that the House isn't just one or two votes shy of passing the Senate's health care bill... which was the widely held conventional wisdom. But that he thinks that they may be short by 15 or 16 votes.

He then goes on to liken the Health Care legislation to 'milk' that has 'been left out on the counter for too long' and that it's 'starting to smell'.

Welcome to the Republican Party, Representative Massa (D-NY)

• Political Correctness troubles?- CHECK.
• Thinks Rahm Emanuel is "son of the devil's spawn"?- CHECK.
• Against ObamaCare?- CHECK.
• War veteran?- CHECK.
• Realizes Labor Unions are simply in place for legal political bribery?- CHECK.
• Believes "You cannot effectively govern this country without the consent of the governed"?- CHECK. 

Listen to the full audio of Rep. Eric Massa go down in a blaze of glory on the radio last Sunday.
Or, if you're lazy... just catch a few highlights here.

 

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you should do according to your country.

The British government is investigating the possibility of taxing people according to the weight of the trash they put to the curb.  They have secretly put microchips in people trash bins without their knowledge in preparation to pass the extremely unpopular tax.

"...yesterday, research by the Big Brother Watch campaign group showed that the use of chipped bins has quietly spread over the past year." .... "According to the responses from town halls, 2,629,052 homes have now been given bins with chips"

This is yet another example of how our governments have progressed from a representation of the people to a decision maker for the people.  It is embarrassing that we as a people have idly sat by while our rights are slowly eroded away one decision at a time.

I liked you better way back when.

COMPARE, and

CONTRAST.

2 down, 5 to go.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is recommending a stoppage of Saturday mail delivery in an effort to alleviate their constantly plummeting losses. I'd say this is a step in the right direction, but the ultimate solution-- which I have personally heralded for years-- is to close down the USPS completely.
