This was the goal the whole time. It's all about government control. - Duane Lester

From the page: "Public support for Obamacare is the real issue here, not because of principle but because of that Ol' Debbil Politics. If the Democrats firmly believed government-run health care is good for America, they could pass it in a week or two. They have enough raw political power to push through their preferred bills without any help from the Republican Party. The minority doesn't really have any tricks up its sleeve to stop that from happening and everyone knows it. However, if they do pass it using nothing but raw political power, the bill belongs to them, and only to them and with the 2010 midterm election about a year away, they don't want that millstone hanging around just their necks. They needs a couple Republicans to come on board so they can claim bipartisan approval of their totalitarian monstrosity and inure themselves somewhat from the anger of the electorate. That's why the longer Obamacare gets kicked around, the less likely it is we'll ever see it pass. " - Duane Lester

From the page: "The numbers speak for themselves. It's been seven months. The budget deficit has quadrupled. Over 2.7 million jobs have been lost. The unemployment has risen from 7.6 percent in January to 9.8 percent today and we are told it isn't going to get better anytime soon. And not a single cent of taxes have been cut. Except in North Dakota...the only state to grow jobs." - Duane Lester

Hoffman is the best candidate. I hope he teaches the establishment GOP a lesson in NY. - Duane Lester

From the page: "The post title is a quote from a source inside the Doug Hoffman campaign, which has managed in the space of one week to turn a barely-noticed special election in upstate New York into a national media event." - Duane Lester

Here's a few more headlines. See if you can tell me which are from today and which are from the 1930s: * Governor cuts his own pay by 10 percent * City Employee's Salaries Cut Seven Percent * New York Mayor Proposes Budget Cuts, Layoffs * City Reduces Working Force to Meet Crisis * Coroner Says Staff Will Be Working Without Pay * City Employees Have Not Been Paid in Months Tough to tell the difference, isn't it? The first, third and fifth headlines are from today, while the second, fourth and sixth are from the 1930s. - Duane Lester

From the page: "Economic recovery is possible when governments allow freedom to flourish. This recovery can happen, but it requires government to get out of the way." - Duane Lester

Dangerous when a man is seen as more than a man. - Duane Lester

From the page: "Let me be very clear: The government is spending your money to produce a car that most Americans can't afford in order to produce zero effect on the level of carbon dioxide and intends to simultaneously make it more expensive to fuel the electrically powered vehicle." - Duane Lester

If the Kennedy Era in American politics is over, instead of just taking a breather (Joseph P. Kennedy II has been mentioned as a possible candidate for his Uncle Ted's Senate seat), what did it mean? - Duane Lester

Unreal footage. - Duane Lester

The national debt is already $11.7 trillion. Obama's budget deficit, according to the administration, is already $1.5 trillion. The health care overhaul would add another trillion to it. Because of the massive debt and the deficit, the Federal Reserve is having a hard time unloading the debt. Actually, they can't unload the debt, so they are printing money to buy it. And rather than looking for ways to lower the debt, the administration is looking to raise the debt limit. It may be borderline conspiracy theory, but one has to wonder if the goal here isn't reforming health care but reforming America. Obama is already on record as advocating the redistribution of wealth, which was the ultimate goal of Cloward and Piven. How can increasing the national debt limit, $1.5 trillion dollar budget deficits, and another $9 trillion in debt do anything but strain the very foundation of our economic system? - Duane Lester

Thanks, Hans. - Duane Lester

Hi Duane, I just returned from over a week in Houston, joining my siblings in dealing with our father's estate ( he recently passed away at 88 + 6 weeks after having attended a weekly gathering of friends). It took us more than twice as long as estimated. Normal routines resume tomorrow. I've looked over the collection of articles waiting to be published and there will be several that are good candidates for AAB. Am I correct in assuming that you are now using page breaks on posts?
