Today the Obama administration reversed the ban on HIV infected people immigrating into the US. This will be another financial blow to an already struggling health care system in the US. HIV and AIDS is one of the most expensive and difficult diseases to treat. Guess who is going to pay for the treatment of these people? Americans will, of course.
Of course, health organizations around the world applaud this move. The motivation for this is being portrayed as America now having acceptance of HIV infected people. America’s prejudice toward the sick with HIV has now become another example the liberal mantra of ‘tolerance’.
The rest of world is pleased with Obama’s actions because of wealth transfer – not tolerance. All of those costly antiviral medications, hospital admissions for pneumonias and management of HIV Dementia in our state psychiatric hospitals will be very expensive to treat and manage.
"Now, those families can be reunited, and the United States can put its mouth where its money is: ending the stigma that perpetuates HIV transmission, supporting science and welcoming those who seek to build a life in this country," –Rachel B. Tiven, executive director of Immigration Equality.
I wonder how many HIV patients in wheelchairs will be pushed to the polls by ACORN workers in 2012? Even dead people vote when ACORN is involved. This is another burden for a healthcare system that Obama says is broken and needs repair. I am sure the influx of patients will surely help.

The anti-war libertarians and code pink liberals are right. Afghanistan is Obama’s Vietnam. Obama is waffling on doing anything in the war. Today, Dick Cheney called him out on this fact. Cheney stepped on Obama administration attempts to blame their own inaction on President Bush. If Fox News had not revealed this, how would we have known?
The last time I didn’t do anything, I got nothing in return. Why should Obama expect to get any success out of the war if he does not give success to the effort? Unfortunately for soldiers in battle, doing nothing will get you killed.
The primary job of the President is to keep America safe. So far Obama has been highly skilled at spending borrowed money, giving out goodies and throwing big parties. He has had concert after concert at the White House while many suffer in an economic crunch "…the worst since the depression…" I am sure the poor people in downtown Chicago benefit from his White House lawn parties.
Oh, we can’t forget his oratory skills. He speaks and the world just shakes in submission. Sorry, that hasn’t worked since the election. Speaking has not worked to pound Iran into submission. His pontification did not work on the Olympic Committee. Apologizing to the rest of the world has made us a laughing stock.
Worst of all, Obama is showing his inability to do the primary job he is charged with – defense. He can do everything else pretty well. But, when faced with a real decision that has real consequences he crumples into silly puddy.
As Obama demonstrates his inability to defend America, the rest of the world watches. Expect hostilities toward America to increase during the next 3 years. When our country lowers its shield of defense, the rest of the world will move to hit us hard. Bullies love to beat up the coward on the block. Pray our bruises do not destroy us.

Liberal Hollywood is voicing its support of a child rapist. Shamefully, they parade their double-standard for one of their own. Even Whoopi Goldberg called the actions of Roman Polanski not really, “Rape, rape.” These are the sick who support organizations such as “Nambla.” These actors in Hollywood are so repulsive. They think our children belong to them with their vicious sexual desires.
Lets do something really American. Lets vote against Hollywood with our wallet. Instead of going to see a movie, getting a rental or buying a DVD just download the movie off the internet. Better yet, read a book to your children. Then pray none of these people do not come anywhere near your kids. Maybe if they are less profitable, there inexcusable opinions will stay in their own shallow, sick brains.
Back in May, I discussed how “Whole Body Imaging” is on the rise in America. Now it seems this is spreading in the UK, too. I am wondering, why are people allowing naked pictures to be taken of themselves? Maybe folks think they have to be scanned this way and do not resist? Maybe folks are afraid to cause a scene or seem insubordinate in the general public? The more of us who speak up may just empower the rest of you to resist. After all, do you want to be the kind of person who waits for the smoke before evacuating after the fire alarms have been ringing for minutes?
What is stunning about the report in the UK is that officials are aware of the revealing nature of the scans. In the name of security, officials figure folks will trade their own privacy for the convience of the scans. Maybe they are right. But, maybe its because people really do not know how revealing the scanning is. The chalk outlined image presented by the government is nothing like any other scanner images shown by American image scans. In fact, I am yet to find any relatively congruent images presented by the governments implementing them. Everyone’s images are different and show different levels of stuff. That in effect proves that these machines can scan at all different levels and reveal details many would not want revealed to a stranger in a backroom.
The claim that the images will be deleted quickly is a total lie. If the intent was to not save any images, then the machines would be configured to not allow any saving of images – automatic or voluntary. This means that once an image is saved, it is saved. Do not trust the government to delete these photos. Instead, expect a black market of TSA images to appear on the internet in a few years.
A rare but very valid excellent point by the ACLU, asks why are government agencies going to be scanning children in this way. Will it be ok for the government to have images of naked children? That is child pornography and an invasion of a child’s privacy.
But, in the same way this is adult pornography. This is an invasion of our privacy, too. But, at least for now this is only an invasion if we voluntarily stand in the scanner. Next time you are at the airport, resist the full body scanner. Ask for a patdown, instead. If done right, both you and the TSA agent will get something good out of it. Maybe the rest of us will get to watch.
Several months ago, I went to my bank and declared that I had saved or created a million dollars. For some reason, no one bought it. After all, if the government can declare such a thing – then so can I.
Likewise, I went to the unemployment office today to declare that the government had saved or created my well paying job. Never mind that my manager informed me last week that I was a new member of the "reduction in force" club. Also, that severance I have gotten is really a Christmas bonus in disguise. I know someone from Washington is going to shake me awake from this silly dream of being laid off.
When the Santa bag started to get less full, I knew it was time to go to the unemployment office. The people at the unemployment office were stunned at what I asked them. No one in Washington had called them about my new job opportunity. I expected details about who and where to report. Instead, I was told to wait in line to fill out papers. What? Wasn’t my tax dollars providing this service? In fact, why wasn’t the esc coming to my door to notify me of my new job? The IRS provides front door service, why can’t they?
Not wanting to be fodder for a cop with a taser, I stepped outside to cool off for a while. My phone rang. It was like a voice from heaven. The angel on the phone offered me a job and I gleefully obliged the offer. Umm. Umm. Umm. My job was created after all!
I ran back into the NCESC and cried out like a town-hall protester, "My job was created! I just got a new job!"
I broke the underwhelming silence by adding, "I didn’t even have to fill out your paperwork or wait in any lines! all I did was send out my resume and call some people – and it worked!" "I told you the government saved or created my job."
Oddly, my new employer says they never got a call from the government, either. That seems rather suspect if you ask me. It’s as if the government didn’t have anything at all to do with me getting a new job. If I am not careful, I might start getting selfish thinking I did it all on my own. How pompous of me.
