wake up people

SNIP:
On Fox & Friends this morning, House Budget Committee chairman, bigtime Romney surrogate, and all-around fiscal guru Paul Ryan had what I thought was a very reasoned view on Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare (emphasis mine):

“Absolutely,” said Ryan. “There are 21 taxes in this bill, 12 of which hit people making less than $250,000 per year. That in and of itself is a violation of the President’s promise not to tax people making less than $250,000.”

Ryan said that the way the President and Congressional Democrats sold this bill has been proven false by the Supreme Court ruling. “I agree with the dissenting opinion that they rewrote this law calling it a tax,” said Ryan.

“We have a law that we have one more chance to repeal, and that’s this November election,” Ryan continued. “That’s basically what the Supreme Court did; they raised the stakes of this election. We have one more chance – and that’s basically what they said. The people of this country are going to be the final arbiters of this.”

For one reason or another, I’m sure many of us will be bristling with Chief Justice Robert’s mandate-permitting opinion on ObamaCare for some time to come, but everybody’s been discussing at least one key takeaway from his decision that I thought very profound:

Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.

At the end of the day, it is absolutely true that we did this to ourselves. As the years have worn on, we’ve consistently demonstrated a prevailing penchant for electing people into office who do little to safeguard our personal freedom and responsibility. Instead, we reward politicians for signing more ‘free’ stuff into law and sending home as much pork as possible. If we don’t stop living in our little bubbles of willful ignorance and summon the political will to reverse the bacchanalian frenzy of entitlement spending and big government, America’s best days really are behind us — and it’ll be nobody’s fault but our own.

Ryan? You mean the guy whose primary philosophical guide was a hard line athiest whose ideal man killed and butchered a 12 year old girl? That Ryan, the one the asked all of his staff to read the meanderings of the witch?

Yeah,... I stopped reading after that.

The ultimate example of 'willful ignorance'... BRAVO!!!

If someone wants to have a legitimate conversation, don't use radical right wing propaganda outlets like Fox and hot air.

This from a man who believes thinkprogress and msnbc are impartial...

You should not use terms you don't understand. It makes you look foolish. See:

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism - YouTube

For only two of many many bits of evidence demonstrating why watching Fox and expecting to be informed by a journalist is foolish.

The masses are going to keep plodding along, ignoring any kind of sobriety, and we will eventually become insolvent, at which time the reset button will have to be pushed. I have little faith in the ability of most people to look with clarity and without emotional sentiment.
