The Democrat ducks will all say, “no thanks.”

The Lament Configuration is a portal to Hell from the Hellraiser movies

Every once in a while we need to remind ourselves that progressive neo-Jacobins, syndicalists, anarchists, revolutionaries, communists and fascists have stolen the name “liberal” and invented the fabulist lie “progressive” for what they do. Nobody likes their real names. Storybook demons don’t like being summoned by their true names either. That is because using their true, or correct, name gives you power over them. For one thing, it does not allow you to be fooled by their deceptions. They, the neo-Jacobins, syndicalists, anarchists, revolutionaries, communists, socialists, progressives, and fascists believe that the state should take goods from one group and give goods to the other group. Yes, that is like a tribal society with eternal warfare between groups. They mistake the fact that some people have more money than others for a class structure, ignoring the truth that those who start poor and work hard end up rich. That is not a classist society. That is an economically and socially mobile society that rewards merit and effort. They are no more liberals than American conservatives are the same as traditional European Conservatives (monarchists who do not believe in free markets and transformational scientific innovation). American conservatives are the original liberals who believe in life, liberty and property, and all the other requirements for individual empowerment and the starvation of overweening state power. Neo-Jacobins et al believe in that overweening state power that crushes people underneath its hobnailed jackboots.

Hellraiser was just a movie. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth was a bad one. But Hell describes a place that Lucifer created for himself, where he lives consumed with envy and self-pity. And Hell on Earth is a fair description of what Lucifer’s most faithful recent disciple would have his followers create.

Saul Alinsky claimed to be a champion of the dispossessed against those who oppressed them. But he dedicated his masterwork to Lucifer, who created a Hell to live within. And so with everything that Alinsky and his disciples, such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, want to create in the world. They all want to create a Hell on Earth in which they and their Progressive buddies could lord it over the Have Nots while killing off the old Haves. They are at war with everything good, right, and true. And they want to replace everything good with their coercive state that will scourge us of our humanity and make us into perfect, communist robots. David Horowitz wrote a series of posts that covered much of what he said last week when he appeared on the Glenn Beck show.

Here they are:

• Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me: Part I
• Hell on Earth: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part II
• Boring From Within: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part III
• To Have And Have Not: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part IV
• Post-modern leftism: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part V
• Means and Ends One: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI
• Means and Ends Two: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI Continued
• The Nazi Option: Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me, Part VI (continued 2)

America opened the Lament Configuration last November 4. Now we are in for it. Go and read Horowitz’s warning.

We do not currently have a free market in medical care. If we did, the prices would be lower and the government wouldn’t have its fingers in every single medical care pie. Odysseas Papadimitriou lays out what it would be like if we restored a free market medical care system on The Street.

UPDATE: I liked it better before I read all the way through his proposal. It seems that everyone on his plan will die with huge debts to the government loan program. That is a big downside. Also it sets up way too many government strings for it to truly be a free market solution.

K. Gonzalez, the student of unknown (by me) gender who worked so hard to get into Berkeley, to pay for one semester, and wrote this about the experience, sounds like a wonderful person, with one exception: The part that breaks immigration law. But the editorial drone who wrote the headline needs to be slapped silly.

A College Dream Ends Too Soon
I worked hard to get into Berkeley and I worked even harder when I got there. But when my funds ran out, I had to leave.

That headline says one thing: This undocumented alien is a victim. But this excerpt from the article says something completely different: This undocumented alien is a very hard worker and is incapable of acting like a victim.

I found a tiny room near the campus, enrolled in classes, and landed a job selling jewelry in a San Francisco mall. From Friday through Monday, I worked full-time, waking up at 6:30 a.m. to get to work by 9. I couldn’t spend the weekends like other students, lazing in the sun or exploring neighborhoods. Still, for two glorious days each week, Tuesday and Thursday, I had classes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and was taught by some amazing professors. (more…)

I did it, and you can too. Political madlibs at I Can Has Tarp?.

My liege, the Royal Majesty Representative Gene Taylor,

Forgive my impertinence, but we have sent many a messenger to date and have received no reply.

Word has spread from the tribes of the north of communists building a fleet of many a flat bottomed riverboat to attack the kingdom in response to your Royal HR3200 and other Healthcare Change Bills decree!

They must not be allowed to succeed. I beg thee, in the name of the Crown – order thy soldiers to take up the baseball bat to repel the evil invaders!

We have begun to organize the defenses around Vancleave in anticipation, but reinforcements are sorely needed; a plague of cholera has infected the camp and decimated our numbers; morale is plummetting and even the knights have taken to sweet tea! We require a reserve force of no less than 1.7 Trillion soldiers to hold the territory.

A glorious battle, to be sung of ages hence, is at hand. And lo, in those days to come, when peace reigns once more throughout the land, men will dine on crawfish and tell the tale.

May divine Providence be with us.

Duke Dick Butkis

Too funny!

The calls for fixing America’s “broken healthcare system” are misleading. America does not have a monolithic government monopoly for healthcare like the ones many socialist countries have that are so popular to those conducting UN funded studies. America has a healthcare market with a substantial part of the market controlled by several government monopoly healthcare systems including Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, S-CHIP, the VA, and various union and governmental pension and healthcare insurance plans. In addition, healthcare insurance market is distorted by massive government regulation, at both the Federal and State level, that prevents most individuals from being able to afford to purchase individual healthcare insurance, or even get insurance that covers exactly what they want it to cover. Medical lawsuit abuse and government regulation drives every bit of the increase in healthcare costs. The Democrats do not plan to fix the healthcare “system,” because they do not restrict their plan to the portion of the market that is already the governmental system. They plan to highjack the healthcare market completely, replacing the market with a monolithic government monopoly over 10-15-20 years.

This highjack of the healthcare market must be stopped. We will have to do it without much help. (more…)

Rest in Peace Barbara Wagner. She has died in the year since this was news, but Barbara Wagner’s story was discussed some in late Summer 2008. Not much discussion went on, since there were no healthcare hijack bills on the floor of the House and Senate. But now the White House is discounting claims that the government would pay for suicide pills for sick people before it would pay for life extending treatment.

And yet it has already happened!

A recap of the story.

• Barbara Wagner, age 64, was a lung cancer survivor whose case was in remission.
• She was a low-income divorcee on the Oregon Health Plan, which is a low income Oregon State government healthcare plan.
• Then the cancer came back.
• Her last hope was a $4K a month drug (Tarceva by Genentech) prescribed by her doctor.
• Oregon Health Plan wouldn’t cover it. Medicare doesn’t either.
• But after being denied by OHP, she got a letter in the mail informing her that she was eligible to receive a suicide cocktail on the state’s dime.

So did she get the cancer treatment before she died? Yes. Genentech, the fabled big pharma company, was more sympathetic than the government and gave her Tarceva free of charge. Tell those who claim the government is kinder than free market companies that they are dead wrong.

Video after the fold.
