You see? National health care works great... so long as you're rich enough to afford the premium level of government insurance and to buy multiple additional private policies; so long as you have influential relatives; and so long as you're willing and able to brazenly bribe the doctors and bureaucrats who run the system.Read the whole thing. It is a frightening glimpse into the reality of socialized medical care.

New Orleans city police and the district attorney’s office are using a state law written for child molesters to charge hundreds of sex workers like Tabitha as sex offenders. The law, which dates back to 1805, makes it a crime against nature to engage in “unnatural copulation”—a term New Orleans cops and the district attorney’s office have interpreted to mean anal or oral sex. Sex workers convicted of breaking this law are charged with felonies, issued longer jail sentences and forced to register as sex offenders. They must also carry a driver’s license with the label “sex offender” printed on it. Of the 861 sex offenders currently registered in New Orleans, 483 were convicted of a crime against nature, according to Doug Cain, a spokesperson with the Louisiana State Police. And of those convicted of a crime against nature, 78 percent are Black and almost all are women…To make it easier to prosecute, the Louisiana Legislature made challenging the sentence in court a sentencing enhancement.
“The way Louisiana’s habitual offender law works, if you challenge your sentence in court and lose, and it’s a third offense, the mandatory minimum is 20 years. The maximum is life,” he explained.The Sex Offender Registry was, arguably, a useful tool. However, by adding people who are not a threat, whatever effectiveness it may have had is diluted. Instead of concentrating on the small number of truly dangerous perverts, resources are being used up tracking prostitutes. This means fewer resources tracking rapists and child molesters. It also means greater public contempt for the registry itself.
Nevertheless, as I said earlier, words like despised, flat out hated, and psycho is what I heard by the little bird. In fact, I made it a point to ask SPECIFICALLY if I heard correctly and was informed YES! Also heard that he is a headhunter, always looking for GLORY and the limelight- has to BE on top.If true then what will the BATFEces do about it?
THE BOSTON TEA PARTY...I suspect more than a few Democrats are relieved over this. Under the current rules, without that 60th vote for cloture, the Republicans can now filibuster the Health Care "reform" bill into extinction. For the current session, anyways. This means that Democrats who know that voting for it will hurt their re-election chances will not have to go on the record as supporting it.

No 8-year-old is on a TSA watch list. Airlines can and should automatically de-select any 8-year-olds out there that appear to be on a watch list. Whether you're eight or 80, the most common occurrence is name confusion and individuals are told they are on the no fly list when in fact, they are not. If you get a boarding pass, you’re not on the no fly list.Note how the TSA switches from "a TSA watch list" to the "no-fly list," implying that the watch list and the no-fly list are equivalent. This is a common rhetorical trick in Internet "debates". It serves to mislead the reader and is generally considered sleazy by honest and intelligent readers. OTOH, the above quote is from a government web site so who know what wrote it. Maybe one of the Infinite Monkeys.
"Meet Mikey Hicks," said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. "It’s not a myth."As for "automatically de-select[ing] any 8-year-old" on the watch list:
A third grader at a parochial school in Clifton, N.J., Mikey recites the drill like the world-weary traveler he is. Leave early for the airport, always with his passport. Try to get a boarding pass at the counter. This will send up a flag. The ticket agent, peering down at tiny bespectacled Mikey, will apologize or roll her eyes, and call for a supervisor. The supervisor, after a phone call — or, more likely, a series of phone calls — will ultimately finagle him onto the plane. But the Hickses are typically the last to select seats and the last to board, which means they sometimes can’t sit together.Ok. It looks like the government is lying to us about this. Gomer Pyle used to put it this way, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
On February 17, at Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, DC, a young Nigerian terrorist named Farouk Abdul al Faisal attempted to board United Airlines flight 1497 to Stuttgart, Germany. He had eluded detechtion [sic] by the FBI, and was not on the Terrorist Watch List. He seemed to have succeeded in his aims.High praise for the ever vigilant employees of the TSA who are working constantly to protect us from the Islamists who hate freedom so much they are ready to die to destroy it.
Al Faisal had not counted on an alert TSA employee, as none had been encountered before. TSA agent Michael Trabinney noticed that Faruouk’s cheeks were puffed out strangely. He pulled the young African aside for further screening and discovered in his mouth a condom filled with black powder and a detonator. Trabinney sounded the alarm and Farouk was arrested. The Department of Homeland Security immediately closed the airport for three days, saying that, since the terrorist was in custody and posed no further threat, extreme measures were necessary. Travel snarled around the world as flights were diverted or canceled.

However, carrying a weapon onto school campuses increases the potential public safety risk. What happens if a student finds a handgun in a briefcase or a desk drawer and accidentally or purposefully uses it on himself or another student?or airport property
We live in an era when America must confront terrorism in the skies. Allowing guns within an airport shaves too closely to the conflict between self protection and broader public safety.you are suddenly transformed and are no longer a responsible gun owner but something else. What is the remarkable magic that can cause this? How is it a person who is a responsible citizen in one place moves a few inches and is suddenly transformed into a crazed psychopath who cannot be trusted with the means of self defense?
Air travel has proven a specific target of terrorists, in part because of the number of potential victims and the fear of death in the sky, but also for the potential to halt a vital transportation sector.
Two bank robbers have been declared winners of the 2009 Darwin Awards after they blew themselves up while trying to crack open a cash machine.Main Darwin Awards Page
The Belgian pair used so much explosive to get their hands on the money that they destroyed the whole bank building.
When police arrived at the scene, they found one of them with severe head injuries, and rushed him to hospital where he died shortly after arrival.
Investigators initially assumed that his accomplice had managed a getaway, but the second one's body was excavated from the debris twelve hours later.
Wendy Northcutt, the founder of the annual awards, declared them the 2009 winners of the Darwin Awards, given to those "doing the most to improve the human gene pool by removing themselves from it".
The bank robbers just edged ahead of their main rival Shawn Motero who was stuck in a traffic crawl in Florida when he needed to answer a call of nature.
With no toilet handy, he got out of the car before jumping over a concrete wall to find a more secluded spot.
Unfortunately, the 30-year-old had not realised he was on a bridge, and fell 65 feet to his death. Award organisers said it proved you should "look before you leak".
In third place was the first ever woman to be nominated for the award. Rosanne Tippett drove her moped into a flooded river, despite the warning signs.
She was rescued by police, but died after jumping back into the river in an attempt to recover the two-wheeler.

Dear all American Brothers and SistersIf any one of mankind's gods exists -- a big if in my opinion -- It doesn't seem to care much about human beings. So, even if God exists, I am still on my own.
Please get rid of these guns.
You are a very intelligent and rich/ educated people, please TRUST IN GOD, not guns.
Do not fear, but analyse yourselves and you will see that your essence is a spark of divinity as you are human beings.
With this knowledge and your other endowments you can lead us to a better world.
You do not need guns.

You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do.Good advice. In any encounter with a criminal, given a choice between trusting in God or trusting in a Smith and Wesson revolver, I'll pick the revolver. I have evidence it works.
