As you can see, pulling a few political emails, but can't
get to all of them due to the health issues. Lots on Obamacare again, grouped
at the end. Have also read some good books, will try to get to doing reviews of
them.
I see the blog has gone over 1.2M pages views since October
of 2008, about 17,000 in the past month. This has slowed as my health challenges
have cut the number of posts I can do, but as always I thank those who
contribute and those who read the news here. Yu at least try to be informed
citizens, and I hope I help with that. ~Bob
Latest on the slightly-used lung from Honest Fred's Body

I was picking up a copy of Walter William's excellent Race
and Economics in Half Price Books, and stumbled over this Sowell
book, a twofer! This is a collection of Sowell's pre-2006 columns, which he
felt had enduring relevance. they are organized by topic: cultural issues,
political issues, economic issues, racial issues, etc. Everyone is worth
reading for his insight and ability to communicate clearly. But, like Georg4 Orwell's
barnyard communists, "some animals are more equal than others." You
won't regret the time spent reading these gems.
College Courses, Alas
Not A Joke
I received the message below from a friend who is a
professor at a small college, which is about to be joined to a nearby
university. The list of new subjects for possible new courses is truly
impressive. If this had not come from someone I know, I would have thought it
was made up by some conservative blogger as a joke. But it's real, and
actually, it's not funny. As a symptom of where higher education has gone in
this country, it's not funny at all, it's damn tragic. And scary. --Del. PS- in
all honesty, I am not sure what some of these phrases actually mean....
ecofeminism? -- The names don't matter, Del. They all mean, "The Taxpayers
need to be milked of more of the money they earned to pay to correct these
perceived injustices." And, of course, to provide jobs for liberal
professors teaching thing that make them feel good, but provide no education
needed in the economy. And to provide dollars to the universities through loans
that the students will have to pay off flipping burgers--but who cares about
the students? ~Bob

Transparency,
Accountability and Openness. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
Truth and honesty and principle and morals and ethics are expectations, if you
will, assumptions, made (perhaps naively so) by truthful, honest,
principled, morally-driven, and ethical people when thinking transparency,
accountability and openness.
University Professor:
Climate Change Deniers Should Be Jailed
http://lastresistance.com/5070/university-professor-climate-change-deniers-jailed/
http://lastresistance.com/5070/university-professor-climate-change-deniers-jailed/
Excerpt: Yes, you read that correctly. There is actually a
professor at a university who is arguing that “climate change deniers” should
be jailed. This is a perfect example of liberal philosophy gone too far. In
fact, this is further proof of my belief that any liberal philosophy taken to
its logical extension, and played out to its end, will demonstrate just how
bafflingly frightening liberalism is.
While Obama & the
Democrats are Seeking Gun Confiscation, State Republicans Are Squashing Gun
Owner’s Rights
Excerpt: We have reported extensively on how the Obama administration and the Democrats in Washington, along with Republicans, have been pushing for an ultimate
goal, which is gun confiscation. However, many people are under the
impression that just because an elected official or candidate has an
"R" behind his name, that person is all for gun owner's rights.
Nothing could be further from the truth and here's the evidence.
NASA-funded study:
The way to save Western civilization from collapse is communism
http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/19/nasa-funded-study-the-way-to-save-western-civilization-from-collapse-is-communism/#ixzz2wTkdFsqW
http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/19/nasa-funded-study-the-way-to-save-western-civilization-from-collapse-is-communism/#ixzz2wTkdFsqW
Excerpt: The only way to avoid calamity is to adopt
egalitarian methods of resource distribution if resource consumption is limited
and distributed equally — eerily reminiscent of those who champion population
control or communism. “Collapse can be avoided, and population can reach a
steady state at the maximum carrying capacity, if the rate of depletion of
nature is reduced to a sustainable level, and if resources are distributed
equitably,” according to the report.
Technology and Wisdom: Tech advancements
make it too easy to forget age-old realities. By Victor Davis Hanson
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/373725/technology-and-wisdom-victor-davis-hanson
Excerpt: Americans now have more computer power in their
smart phones than did the Pentagon in all its computer banks just 30 years ago.
We board a sophisticated jet and assume that the flight is no more dangerous
than crossing the street. The downside of this complete reliance on computer gadgetry
is a fundamental ignorance of what technology is. Smart machines are simply the
pumps that deliver the water of knowledge — not knowledge itself.
Worth Reading : Moscow signals concern for Russians in Estonia
Excerpt: Russia signaled concern on Wednesday at Estonia 's treatment of its large ethnic Russian
minority, comparing language policy in the Baltic state with what it said was a
call in Ukraine to prevent the use of Russian. Russia has defended its annexation of Ukraine 's Crimea
peninsula by arguing it has the right to protect Russian-speakers outside its
borders, so the reference to linguistic tensions in another former
Soviet republic comes at a highly sensitive moment. (I don't want to depress
you. And I don't want to panic you. But I'm starting to think our guy in the
Oval Office is getting seriously outmatched by the former KGB agent. Estonia is a
member of NATO. Here's how Our Guy is spending Thursday: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/03/19/president-obama-ellen-degeneres/

Making Putin pay.
By Marco Rubio
Excerpt: Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea is a direct challenge
and long-term threat to the post-World War II international order for which the
United States
and our allies have made great sacrifices over the past seven decades. If Putin
is allowed to take land from a neighboring nation through deceit and raw
military force without serious consequences, the precedent could have global
repercussions, including in Asia . Some have
suggested that Crimea is not worth triggering tensions with Russia , given
other interests that are more important. While it is best to avoid conflict
whenever possible, history shows that illegitimate aggressions that go
unchallenged are a virtual guarantee of even more dangerous conflict in the
future.
Hillary Clinton says
she is ‘personally skeptical’ about an Iran nuclear deal
Excerpt: Hillary Rodham Clinton cast doubt on the interim
nuclear agreement with Iran, saying in a muscular policy speech here Wednesday
night that she is “personally skeptical” that Iran’s leaders will follow
through on a comprehensive agreement to end their march toward nuclear weapons.
(Skeptical? About Obama's great diplomatic breakthrough? Perish the thought!

Obama's
Facebook Strategy for Ukraine .
By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt:
The left has confused the overlay, its commentaries and memes, for reality. It
has come to believe that The Daily Show is real news, that Obama is a real
leader and that a Twitter hashtag is real power. The Russian soldiers in Crimea are a reminder that, as Mao said, “Every Communist
must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” The
Western left has forgotten the simple truth that no Eastern leftist has ever
become decadent enough to forget.

Obama
Says Putin is Weak, Agrees to Let Him Conquer Ukraine . By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: At this rate, why not just dismantle NATO and
let Russia
have its old empire back? 'Obama said Wednesdaythat the U.S. would not take military action in Ukraine against Russia . “We are not going to be
getting into a military excursion in Ukraine ,”
Obama said in an interview Wednesday with KNSD, the NBC affiliate in San Diego . “I think even
the Ukrainians would acknowledge, for us to engage Russia
militarily would not be appropriate and would not be good for Ukraine , either,” Obama added.'
Yes, I’m sure they would absolutely hate to be saved from being conquered.

Excerpt:
As Anthony Watts has noted, this is news guaranteed to make a Warmist's
head explode. The reason it's so significant is that it comes
only three years after one of the APS's most distinguished members - Professor Hal Lewis - resigned in
disgust at its
endorsement of what he called "the global warming scam." Disturbed by
an "appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change" which
"was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is
certainly not representative of the talents of APS members", Lewis went
public with his letter of resignation to the APS's then President Curtis G
Callan Jr. (Callan's replacement Malcolm Beasley appears to be of a more
skeptical bent...)

Oliver Stone
Confronted for His Cozy Relationships with Dictators
Excerpt: Stone has amassed a huge fortune during his
lifetime living in the presumably capitalist USA and yet criticizes our economic
system as often as he can. One wonders if he could have become so wealthy
living in the type of government he wishes we would be? (Probably not.) Other
than his hypocrisy on capitalism he's also been hypocritical about the friends
he's made - cozying up to murderous villains like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

WAPO: Obama doesn't grasp Putin's Eurasian ambitions. By
Rick Moran
Excerpt: An
editorial in the Washington Post exposes the Obama administration as
the naive claque they appear to be. "Western
officials seem to be betting that Mr. Putin won’t dare to extend his aggression
beyond Crimea . But then, just last week they
were saying they did not expect Moscow
to move quickly on Crimean annexation. The Obama administration and its
European allies have been too slow to grasp that Mr. Putin is
bent on upending the post-Cold War order in Europe and reversing Russia ’s loss of dominion over Eastern Europe,
the Caucasus and Central Asia ."
Putin’s Crimean History Lesson. By John Cassidy
Excerpt: President Vladimir
Putin’s defiant speech in Moscow on
Tuesday, which he followed up by signing a draft treaty to
make the Crimea part of Russia ,
can be interpreted in two ways. The optimistic reading is that the Russian
leader’s revanchism, and his railing against the West, is, essentially, an
acknowledgement of his country’s weakness, and of the reduced circumstances in
which it finds itself two decades after the collapse of Communism. The
pessimistic view is that the effective annexation of Crimea
marks the beginning of something new and ominous: not another Cold War but,
rather, a revival of a chauvinistic and expansive Russian nationalism that goes
back to the tsars. (Nice analysis from a Liberal source. --Del )
The Paradox of Pacifism:
Seven Things the Anti-Interventionists Forgot to Tell Putin. By Robert
Tracinski
Excerpt: Over the past few weeks, the foreign policy
anti-interventionists—a coalition of cynical establishment
"realists," blame-America-first leftists, and libertarian millennials
disillusioned by the Iraq War—have given us a lot of excellent advice about the
potential costs of getting involved in the conflict over Ukraine, about the
dangers of escalation, about the virtue of caution. Somehow they forgot to tell
any of this to Vladimir Putin, who has spent his time assembling a massive buildup of Russian troops, tanks, and
helicopters on the Ukrainian border. (I think this article comes under the
heading of disguised sarcasm. But it's nicely done. --Del )
Say It Ain't So, Joe!
From The Patriot Post
You knew it was coming. While visiting Poland this week to "reassure
our allies" in Eastern Europe that
everything will be all right, Joe Biden dug once again into his repertoire of
profound gaffes by blithering about another faux achievement. "Fifteen
years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,
to lead the fight for Poland 's
admission into NATO," he bragged. Only problem is,
he wasn't chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee: "Former
Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) had been chairman of the committee at the time Poland
campaigned to join NATO," reports The Hill. "Helms initiated the
floor debate over whether Poland ,
the Czech Republic
and Hungary
should join NATO." Sending Biden to address our allies was bad enough;
giving them even more reason to fear strongman Vladimir Putin is hardly
reassuring.

By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: Vladimir Putin all but said the above yesterday,

the following speech could easily be Putin’s:
Younger, Educated and
Affluent – The UK 's
Terror Sympathizers
Excerpt: A British research study of Muslim radicalization is challenging some key
conventional wisdom. It identifies "youth, wealth, and being in full-time
education" as potential risk factors
Less than 3 percent of the 600 British Muslims surveyed by London 's
Queen Mary University
were sympathetic with terrorism, while another 6 percent "remained
neutral."
But those with the highest sympathy were respondents born in
the United Kingdom ,
under age 20 and full time students.
We Can't Pay for All This. From The Patriot Post
CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf
is no stranger to adding up the cost of congressional schemes. In February, the
CBO outlined some of the
costs imposed on the nation by ObamaCare, which turns four on Sunday. Less work and more federal spending about sums it up. Elmendorf had
fresh warnings this week, saying we just can't pay for all this massive
government expansion: "So we have a choice as a society to either scale
back those programs relative to what is promised under current law; or to raise
tax revenue above its historical average to pay for the expansion of those
programs; or to cut back on all other spending even more sharply than we
already are." The challenge isn't so much annual deficits, he said, as
"the very high level of debt" over the long term. Call it what we've
been calling it all along: A debt
bomb.
The Invasion Will be Catered. By Charles
Krauthammer
Excerpt: Early in the Ukraine
crisis, when the Europeans were working on bringing Ukraine into the EU system and
Vladimir Putin was countering with threats and bribes, one British analyst lamented
that “we went to a knife fight with a baguette.” That was three months ago.
Life overtakes parody. During the Ukrainian prime minister's visit to Washington last week,
his government urgently requested military assistance. The Pentagon refused. It
offered instead military ration kits. (Give them C-rat Ham and Limas--it'll

Kenyan polygamy law:
Female MPs storm out of parliament
Excerpt: The law is intended to bring civil law, where a man
is only allowed one wife, into line with customary law, where some cultures
allow multiple partners. But male MPs voted to amend the new marriage bill to
allow men to take as many wives as they like without consulting existing
spouses. (The real War on Women, supported by Progressives because "All
Cultures are equally valid." Except of course, ours. ~Bob)
Excerpt: The United States ,
Russia and China are
post-ideological states. Russia
and China
have abandoned Communism. The United
States is even abandoning nationalism; to
say nothing of capitalism, democracy or freedom. Its rulers cling to scraps of
global leftist ideology that isolate them from their own people. Russia , China
and the United States
are all demographically unstable. Russia
and the United States
are both on track to majority-minority status. China ’s demographic disaster will
be the outcome of its one child policies, gendercide and its war on the
countryside.
Excerpt: Wisconsin
taxpayers are footing the bill for thousands of dollars in state government
subscriptions to Netflix.com. Four sprawling state bureaucracies combined
spent $4,819.36 in fiscal year 2013 on Netflix subscriptions. Those agencies
are the Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Instruction, the
Department of Health Services and the Department of Transportation. The
Department of Corrections spent more than any other agency.
Obama Hijacks Symbol
of Liberty and Independence to Sell Tyranny
Excerpt: Despite the reality of Obamacare, especially it
being government imposed tyranny with a fine, or tax, on the people for non-compliance,
Barack Obama has decided to attempt to hijack the symbol used in the fight for
liberty and independence, dating back to when Christopher Gadsden designed It
during the American Revolution, to push his massive government intrusion into
the lives of every American. Of course, who else would help push such
propaganda than Nancy Pelosi’s daughter.
Liberals Want Us To
Run Jeb Bush In 2016
Excerpt: The Republican Party never seems to learn. More
specifically, it seems as though Republican voters never seem to learn. How
many times can we get fleeced because the media tells us that a certain candidate
is the right one? It has happened time and time again. This tradition goes back
quite a ways, but the most egregious example of the Left hijacking our Party is
from 2008.
A Single Mom's (Not
So) Thank You Letter to Obama
Excerpt: When an economy goes south, the people who are hurt
the most are the ones at the lowest levels of the economic ladder. Over the
last 8 years of Democrat control of Congress, the last 6 with Obama in the
White House, our economy has stagnated at the lowest levels since the Great
Depression. In fact, Democrat policies have only made things even more
difficult for the poorest in our nation, and the ideas they continue to push
promise even more hardship in the future…
Excerpt: Israeli military officials say they uncovered a Hamas tunnel that might be the largest yet

built with the intent of launching terrorist attacks and trying to kidnap
Israeli soldiers.

Excerpt: A new poll shows Latinos -- a fast-growing and key

percent disapproving.
Coming in 2015: Obamacare Premiums to 'Double in Some Parts
of the Country.' By Guy Benson
Excerpt: Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged in Congressional
testimony last week that Obamacare premiums will rise
in 2015, retreating to the sad spin that the rate increases would be lower
than they might have in a hypothetical universe. Setting aside the fact that
all Americans were promised substantially lower rates, Sebelius'
hedging is belied by a report in The Hill entitled, "O-Care
premiums to skyrocket:" (Safely after the midterm elections--breath
easy, democrats. ~Bob)

Excerpt:
An Obama dupe has had his eyes opened by the experience of trying to sign up for Obamacare,
and the results are hilarious for conservatives to read. P. J. Gladnick of Newsbusters chronicles the tale of Will Pitt, the
guy who soared to fame with the 2006 “scoop” that Karl Rove would be indicted and
frog marched out of the White House. Yes, that obnoxious jerk. Well, he has
learned that his guy Obama is not quite as cool as he thought, and as Gladnick
puts it, “Harry Reid is going to have a hard time portraying Will Pitt as a
Koch brothers shill...”
Pelosi: It's 'Affordable,' I
Tell You! From The Patriot Post
This Sunday marks four long
years since the passage of the monstrosity known as ObamaCare. Only don't call
it that around Nancy Pelosi. She recently bawled out a reporter for referring
to it that way -- even though the president himself has said, "I actually
like the name." "[B]y the way, it's called the Affordable Care
Act," she scolded. "I know you didn't intend ... anything derogatory,
but it's called the Affordable Care Act. I tell [Obama] the same thing I told
you. Affordable, affordable -- there's a reason. Affordable. Affordable.
Affordable. Affordable. Affordable." We'd say calling it
"affordable" is derogatory, but to each her own we suppose. In any
case, Pelosi still insists that Democrats will run successfully on ObamaCare
this fall, because, she says, "I believe it's a winner." Evidently,
she still hasn't found out
what's in it.
Nancy Pelosi uses word ‘affordable’ 15 times in 2 minutes
in desperate attempt to lower cost of Obamacare. By Doug Powers
Excerpt: On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi held a news conference to
celebrate the approximate 4th anniversary of Obamacare. Pelosi said that the
issue is a winner for swing district Dems in November’s elections,
though swing district Dems might beg to differ. (If it's so affordable, we
could save big by requiring al Federal Employees, including members of
Congress, to get their insurance from Healthcare.gov. Taxpayers pay for a

Health Care Exchange
in Oregon Not
Meeting High Hopes
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/21/us/health-care-exchange-in-oregon-not-meeting-high-hopes.html?_r=1
Excerpt: As the federal health care overhaul was rolled out
over the last few years, Oregon
was invariably the eager overachiever in the first row, waving a hand to
volunteer. ... Fellow Democrats controlling the Legislature went along,
embracing ambitious plans to extend insurance coverage and Medicaid to
low-income residents. Yet for all that, by some measures Oregon has among the most dysfunctional
online insurance exchanges in the nation.
Excerpt: Anyone who attempted to sign up for health
insurance with Nevada 's

Silver State Health Insurance Exchange Board action on Thursday leaves the door
open for tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to reapply after open
enrollment ends March 31.
Obamacare Limits
Choices Under Some Plans
Excerpt: Ben Rosenthal was treated for prostate cancer four
years ago and had gallbladder surgery the year before that. A former manager at
a market-research firm in Los Angeles ,
Rosenthal, 57, paid for his own health insurance. Last fall, when his plan was
discontinued because it didn’t meet standards set by the Affordable Care Act,
Rosenthal bought the best insurance coverage he could find, a top-tier
“platinum” policy from Blue Shield of California that costs $792 a month. He figured
it would provide access to top hospitals. Then in February he learned the plan
wouldn’t cover the hospitals where he was used to being treated. (Dear Ben,
It's AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE! Your friend, Nancy Pelosi. PS: Hope
you don't die--unless you vote Republican.)
Desperate Times for ObamaCare. By Arnold Ahlert
Excerpt: The air of desperation surrounding ObamaCare gets
thicker and thicker with each passing day. And no matter how dishonest
President Obama, his administration officials, Democrats and their media
allies, are in their attempt to fool the public, painful truths about this
disaster can no longer be obscured.
Refundable Tax
Credits in ObamaCare
Excerpt: Refundable tax credits are projected to double due
to subsidies in ObamaCare, says Alan Cole, an economist at the Tax Foundation. Tax
credits allow taxpayers to reduce their tax liabilities. Refundable tax
credits, however, allow refunds beyond the amount of taxes paid in. Basically,
they can result in a transfer of funds from the government to the taxpayer. What
are these refundable credits? The most well-known are the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit, each available only to
taxpayers with incomes below a certain threshold. In 2009, the amount of
refundable tax credits peaked at more than $120 billion. In 2011, the IRS paid
$99.1 billion in refundable credits. That is more than the Department of
Education spends each year ($71.2 billion). The EITC pays out $65 billion per
year, and the Additional Child Tax Credit pays out slightly less than half of
that amount -- $30 billion per year. The ObamaCare subsidies for low-income
purchasers of insurance are the newest form of transfer payment. Due to these
subsidies, the dollar amount of refundable credits is going to skyrocket.
Poll: Four Years After Passage, Obamacare As Unpopular as
