Well, obviously all the racists are liberal plants smuggled in by ThinkProgress to make people think the Tea Party is racist.

...or so someone explained to me the LAST time I pointed out that some of the people in the Tea Party are racist.

I find it interesting that the name "Palin" is not listed anywhere in that article at all.

It doesn’t take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today.

Damn, wonder what happened to finally dislodge that cognitive dissonance.

At least they managed to not fire all of the state's own emergency workers beforehand.  It's a step up!

Putting aside that the dude is a legitimately terrible human being, no adult who uses the phrase "makes me feel ikky all over. Yuk!" should ever be given power over anything.

So uh, this is the current top story on Fox News.

I understand the rationale for why this is the front page (Obama is doing it, so it must be bad), and yet I feel like I'm in bizarro world.  Is Fox News really telling us that private ownership may somehow not be in US citizens' best interests?

The next despot with impact comparable to Hitler, or the reincarnation of Hitler himself? Because in the first place, well, that's just your standard "Don't mess with the natural order" kind of question, whereas the second option seems to imply that someone or someTHING is keeping Hitler from reincarnating as planned through the use of infant deaths.

(Genesis 38:9) - "And Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so it came about that when he went in to his Hitler's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground, in order not to give offspring to Hitler."

Charles Krauthammer brought a very good point that the GOP will never ever address because it'd instantly lose all their votes:

It's impossible for all Americans to receive current top-notch medical health care without ruining the country.

Of course, this problem isn't going away even if the US keeps its current tiered system of well-cared vs. shit-out-of-luck, and it's going to require addressing some questions conservatives won't ever touch (such as better health management through life, raising the retirement age, and discussing euthanasia rights)

Part of that comes back to the oft-quoted figure that Americans spend twice as much on health per capita than any other country in the world.

Everyone kind of drags their feet on the answer but really the reason we spend so much is because we're still the only country that lets profit be the motivating factor in our health care system. That's the simple answer, and the most direct really. I always hear people hemming and hawing over what causes our health care to eat up so much of GDP with so little in return, but really it's because when you go to the doctor, even for simple things, there are like 12 entities which all want to make massive profits before you're done.

Also, I think that statement about how if everyone had top-notch care we'd go bankrupt is really, really misleading. And part of what makes that misleading is that poor-people and most people who can't afford care still get it. And when they can't pay up, everyone who wants money just turns to the government to pay for it anyway. I'd actually be willing to bet that if everyone had equal access to top-notch care, our percentage of healthcare spent as a part of GDP would go down. But the people making huge profits off of your care would lose out.

And that's what it boils down to. Maybe for people at the bottom it can be an ideological war about big vs small government or health care as a right. But for the people at the top, it's about whether private interest gets to make money or not.

research research...

ok, the end-of-life care slice has not increased significantly

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/better-if-not-cheaper-care/

on the other hand, the top 5% of old people spent $600 billion dying. Once four of your main organs fail at once, you essentially become a science project more risky than a rocket launch.

Glenn Beck Presents 'Just the Beginning' of Why You Need to Pay Attention to Grover Norquist

Glenn Bleck: Grover Norquist is responsible for 'the Muslim Brotherhood stuff' in the White House.

Ahhhh delicious. It doesn't even remotely work at face value, is the thing I think I love the most. I don't think I've ever seen the narrative slapped together so sloppily.
