The deliciously public disgrace of the Freedom-Haters
This OneUnited Bank on whose board Maxine Waters’s husband sat was up to its eyeballs in Fannie Mae – Freddie Mac shenanigans. I can’t see any way she can spin her way out of this.

All you need to know about the difference between normal Americans and Freedom-Haters
By the way, as viral as this video has gone, has the lady asking Pete Stark the questions been identified yet? She needs to run – for president.

Their peers may give them a mere finger-wagging, but the voting public will have the final say
Maxine Waters comes under the same kind of ethical cloud as Charlie Rangel.

Break over; the next set begins
Blogging has been sparse lately. I got a new computer, among other things, and you know what’s involved there – reloading applications, transferring files, deciding on what anti-malware software to use. Also, step-daughter is in town and we’ve been showing her a good time.
Anyway, the absurdityseems to spew like Gulf oil amid the backdrop of apocalypse. There’s the inconvienient document that would appear to undermine The Most Equal Comrade’s posture of indignation over Scotland’s release of the Lockerbie bomber. There’s Charlie Rangel’s upcoming appearance before the House Ethics Committee. There’s North Korea’s threat of a nuclear response the the joint US – South Korea naval exercises.
So we have the makings of an interesting week.
And now I have to run again. More later today, I promise.

We know that odor; we’ve come across it before
Kimberly Strassel at the WSJ on how, after porkulus and FHer-care, the public is inclined toward a reaction other than excitement when it hears about the Most Equal Comrade signing a big, new, “historic” piece of legislation – in this case, Dodd-Frank.
I’m pretty sure it’s in no mood for cap-and-trade, which refuses to die.

Some Freedom-Haters are admittedly quite intelligent; then again, some of them are just plain idiots

We’ll see if any Pubs fall for this – and then fire them
This is the kind of juncture at which we can find out precisely the extent to which the GOP still suffers from Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome.
Per Senator Global Test, TCM had a “constructive” meeting with senators from both parties at which he said he was ready to “scale back” his energy/climate proposal to get Pubs on board. Global Test said TCM was adamant, however, that “putting a price on carbon” was still at the core of what he intends.
There will be some RSG-afflicted Pubs who will stroke their chins and say there are merits to some portions of the FHer vision on this. We can be sure that Grahamnesty and McLame will be in that camp. Possibly the Maine ladies as well. So we will have the advantage of knowing where to breathe our fire.

FHer-care redux
Two of the most horrifying monsters in American history announce that their respective houses of Congress have agreed on the principles for financial-overhaul legislation that they expect to have on TCM’s desk by the birthday of a country that existed until recently called the United States of America. The word is still, though, that for anybody who’s crafting it to actually understand it, they’ll have to pass it. Dodd’s actual words: “No one will know until this in place how it actually works.”
As long as lunacy is treated as a legitimate viewpoint, we’ll continue our slide into oblivion

Why we call them Freedom-Haters – today’s edition
A Pub-led vote on repealing FHer-care’s individual mandate fails in the House.
The money is so not there for any more of this stuff that even many of the statism-inclined get it now
Congress won’t be extending health insurance benefits for the unemployed.
Cut taxes and regulation and these people could go back to work. But that’s not the post-American way.

The Freedom-Haters sat on the report
Ever wonder what the real reason was for the FHer scramble to ram FHer-care through so quickly, in spite of polls, in spite of Scott Brown’s election, in spite of tea-party rallies?
This needs to be the final ruination of this regime. This needs to render it incapable of making the slightest move on any of its other foul designs. Let’s hope it’s the primary topic of discussion all over talk radio today.
This is the kind of creatures we have as overlords. We’re Americans. We will stop them.

Why we call them Freedom-Haters – today’s edition
Why this is bad and wrong, as in poisonous-level:
1.) It’s once again telling a private enterprise how to conduct its business
2.) It’s based on the evil notion that health care is a right.
3.) The plan is obviously to drive private insurance companies out of business
4.) It demonstrates the complete economic ignorance of the left. When we get to this single-payer system this is clearly leading to, there will be no money for it, given that there is already no money for Medicare and Social Security.

The next means for the seizure of yet more of your assets at gunpoint
. . . is the newly revitalized cap-and-trade push (all the more insidious given what we know about the science, per the post below), being readied for ram-through by the usual cabal of Freedom-Haters and Reasonable Gentlemen (at least two of whom are women – from Maine).
