Business Traitors
Pharma
to run ads favoring ObamaCare
So
Big Pharma joins Wal-Mart and a number of other traitorous business
entities (Google and Microsoft and Warren Buffet's business, to name
a few) in joining the Ride to Greater Tranzi Society led by the
Triumvirate. Does the $80B include the $150M or is that just
gravy?New York Times "The drug industry has authorized its lobbyists to spend as much as $150 million on television commercials supporting President Obama's healthcare overhaul, beginning over the August Congressional recess, people briefed on the plans said Saturday. The unusually large scale of the industry's commitment to the cause helps explain some of a contentious back-and-forth playing out in recent days between the odd-couple allies over a deal that the White House struck with the industry in June to secure its support. The terms of the deal were not fully disclosed. Both sides had announced that the drug industry would contribute $80 billion over 10 years to the cost of the health care overhaul without spelling out the details." (08/08/09) More Necessary Noise by The Hunter There has been a lot of "necessary noise" made
since
President Obama was elected. The "Tea Parties" are a great
example, and the open carry movement that is gaining
strength throughout the nation are another. The Free State
Project here in New
Hampshire is quite possibly one of the most effective so
far, in ways that may not be apparent to those living
elsewhere. You got a pretty graphic example of that success
the other day at the President's town hall meeting on health
care, when William Kostric openly carried his handgun while
holding a sign proclaiming "It is time to water the tree of
liberty". The pistol and the sign attracted the attention of
MSNBC, and Kostric ended up being interviewed (badgered,
really) by Chris Matthews on Hardball - and I thought handed
Matthews his head.
David Codrea has already collected a lot of very
good
information on this, so I'll just point you there if you
want to see
it for yourself.
I want to concentrate on the idea of "making necessary
noise", and probably more importantly on the "Men Who Would
be Kings" reaction to that "noise". (Read

self-protection--the internal directive of every living creature, be it
mouse or man--is the most fundamental right of all. It is a right that
must be exercised against all predators of the streets, against the
predators hidden within agencies of law enforcement, and against the
most dangerous predators of all--those to be found in government, whose
insidious grasping for power is relentless and never-ending.
WE WILL NOT DISARM. Not in the face of robbers, rapists, and murderers who prey upon our families and friends. Nor in the face of police and bureau agents who would turn a blind eye to the Constitution, who would betray the birthright of their countrymen; nor in the face of politicians of the lowest order--those who pander to the ignorant, the weak, the fearful, the naive; those indebted to a virulent strain of the rich who insulate themselves from the dangers imposed upon other Americans and then preach disarmament.

What a masterstroke it was for the state to get Boobus to admit the only rights he has are those subject to the "reasonable" restrictions of his masters. The precedent has been set and we have agreed; you must submit yourself before the god called government, pass their background checks, take their approved qualification course, submit the required monies and wait for your ID card certifying you have permission from the state to exercise at least one of your former inalienable rights! If you, and/or a member of your family, are assaulted by a
madman with a weapon while in a restaurant,
on a school
campus, in church,
at the
mall, in a bank,
in the parking
lot where you shop or work, in a carjacking
or a mugging, or visiting Obama’s
home town, you must remember, the only people allowed to defend
their lives and those of their loved ones are those who have been
sanctioned by the state to do so. That is freedom in America today,
granted by the state, bought and paid for. (Read

himself and his employee against 4 armed young men who tried to rob the
store.
Police say
that 4 armed robbers entered the Kaplan Brother Blue Flame Corporation,
a restaurant-supply business, and announced that they were going to
commit a robbery. One of the criminals then drew a handgun, and
began
to pistol whip an employee. The owner of the business grabbed his
shotgun and opened fire in self defense. Two of the robber were
killed, and the other two were injured. The two surviving robbers fled,
but police quickly apprehended a pair of suspects with gunshot wounds.

Feminists Endowed with a Superiority Complex By Carey Roberts Taking the oath to “do
equal right to the poor and to the rich,” Sonia Sotomayor was finally
sworn in as the first Latina on the U.S. Supreme Court. No sooner had
the
kerfuffle surrounding her “wise Latina” remark subsided, when Carol
Smith saw fit to pen this wise verdict in the New York Times: “In
my experience, female bosses tend to be better managers, better
advisers,
mentors, rational thinkers.”
Not to be outdone, last week NPR analyst Cokie Roberts opined in the Washington Post, “Women tend to be a lot more commonsensical than men are” and admitted to hectoring her husband that “Men are just lesser beings.” Call it whatever you want – female empowerment, turning the tables, girls letting off a little steam, whatever -- it’s time to blow the whistle on feminist-inspired misandry.(Read the rest here)
Albuquerque Libertarian
Examiner If you have chosen to deal with those who, by the very nature of avoiding "imperial entanglements", must remain "outlaws" you can't go running to tattle to the state if they harm you. This leaves private arbitration. Since private arbitration hasn't really taken off yet, you might have a hard time finding someone to act as a go-between. I don't see this as a flaw in the free markets themselves, but as a temporary danger due to government getting in the way of free trade and interfering with the natural tendency of bad-actors to suffer the consequences of their dishonesty. No one is forcing you to deal with any particular un-sanctioned business. Only government (or other mafia) forces people to do business with its agents and offices. Find out who is trustworthy and who is not. Buyer beware, always. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website. Use the back button to return.)
Anchorage
Libertarian Examiner
By Kevin Wilmeth What nobody seems to be doing--you know,
outside of the
membership of the DHS "domestic terrorist" watch-list (by which we mean
a great number of ordinary Americans)--is questioning the legitimacy of
the concept. Asking questions like this:
Where--exactly where--in Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution, is the enabling text that says the US government has any legitimate authority over the health care decisions of anyone, at any time, ever? If it's not
in Article I, Section 8, the Congress can't do it. Period.
And dang
if I can find anything in there about health care. It's not like
it's
never crossed the radar before. (Read

any kind of married you want. Same sex, different sex, indeterminate
sex. Marry early and marry often. Get married in a church, in a chapel,
in a private ceremony of your own devising. Government has no
legitimate place in the marriage of free and sovereign individuals. Get
married by the powers inherently invested in yourselves.
The question libertarians ask the gay community
is the same they ask everyone else: why do you need a bureaucrat to
sanction your marriage? (Read
