Your Medical Info: Would It Make Good Bathroom Reading?

Do you think that your medical information should be private?

Do you want Sue at the beauty shop, or Ron at the service station, or Stan your accountant, or Beth your attorney to know? 

To know that you have depression? have anxiety? have scoliosis? have scabies? have wet eczema?  have muscular dystrophy? have diabetes?

Will it bother you if they learn you take prozac? take viagra? take chemo? take replacement hormone therapy? take antibiotics?

The fact is, you do, from time to time, tell others about your diagnoses, your conditions and your treatment.  But the fact also is that there are many folks that you do not tell.  And there are some folks who choose medical privacy at a high level of preference.

And every one of you suckers are enjoying the VERY LAST YEAR OF MEDICAL PRIVACY IN YOUR LIVES.

That's right.

When the IRS issues annual return forms in coming years, you will be required to provide your HEALTH IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.  It is the only way to allow the IRS to fulfill its "DUTY" of taxing folks who disobey the "universal mandate" to purchase health insurance.

Now some of you will say, "so what, just because they have my Health ID No. doesn't mean they will go giving my health records an endoscopy!"

Right.

And the IRS won't target groups that teach about the Bill of Rights for special scrutiny.

Kerry Will Leave No Stone Unturned ... Obamaroaches Will Scurry

Folks with a bit of grey at the temples will remember who it was that sought to preserve future political viability.

I think John Kerry's statement that the State Department will leave no stone unturned in seeking out the truth of what happened with Benghazi reflects a profound awareness on his part that Barack Obama has cleared his glide path to the 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination and that Hillary has stupendously failed to "preserve future political viability."

Let's face it:  Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations are dead, after the latest Benghazi revelations (State Department micro-editing and control of the Susan Rice talking points).  ABC News has talking points as they evolved prior to Susan Rice's quintefecta of fabrications.

If the stink of this scandal leads to Obama's resignation or impeachment, I think Joseph Biden will see a short shelf life as President, purely comical caretaker, and if Kerry takes a serious (at least for the public) stand, he would be rightly perceived by Democrats as the mop and bucket needed to clean up their party's disastrous White House implosion.

Just sayin!

Digging to China

Democrats think that the best policy for growing employment is government spending.

This policy is best understood as 312 million people standing in a large hole in the ground.  From this 300 million,  about 4 million step forward (federal employees, including postal service and military forces), take shovels, and begin digging as a way of getting out of the hole.  As they dig, they can't throw the dirt out of the hole, it's too big, so they throw it on the other 308 million.

The hole gets deeper.

As the hole deepens and the dirt is being tossed, some of the 308 million get covered by the dirt.  Eventually some of those folks actually disappear.  According to publicly reported information, some 90 million of those remaining 308 million folks have been buried to the point of invisibility.

The hole gets deeper.

When will the madness stop?

When the number of those not yet buried shrinks to the point that those remaining can no longer support those with shovels?

No.

Because, outside the hole, there are others, who are happy to lend their moral support to the madness.  Folks who will lend to the endeavor.  Folks who know that if they can convince the diggers to keep digging, the hole will be, eventually, so deep that there can never be an exit to level ground, to the sunlight, to life, to prosperity.

But because Democrats only know taxation and government spending as the solution to a weak economy and high unemployment (hole digging), they readily accept the cheer offered from Red China.

When will enough Americans be so insulted by the tossing of dirt on them by Democrats and their taxing and spending that they will understand that this life or death struggle cannot be won by toleration, by a friendly disposition, and by "taking it."

Here is a truth from the framers of our Independence:
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
You see, so long as the Democrats (and their RINO fellow travelers (John McCain, for example)) seem apologetic for the dirt that gets tossed on folks, there is that natural, human, tendency to "suffer, while evils are sufferable."  Not that such apologies are sincere, for we know that the faking of sincerity is the politician's gift.

But the time comes when the evils are NOT sufferable.  There comes a time when those who suffer understand those whose sole aim seems to be economic enslavement through confiscatory taxation.  And in that day, the great will rise, if necessary, by force, and throw off the tyranny of those whose economic compasses point only to the wallets of others.
