Hobby Lobby and Conestoga for Dummies

Listening to the gaggle of anti-life “leaders” cackle on about a threat to “women’s health” and other ominous sounding implications in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. & Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Sebelius, we are instantly appreciative of Occam’s Razor.

These cases have nothing, nada, zero to do with “health,” “reproductive rights,” or any of the discriminators cited by Lady Lobby.

This is ALL ABOUT WHO IS PAYING for contraceptives, not who gets to use them!

Typically, the loopy Left and “Progressives” rely for support on the ignorance of “low-information” voters also known as Obama voters and Democrats.

Yup, dead people vote . . .

If it’s true that voting is our most sacred right, can’t we set simple standards to prevent this:  Mummy Mommy voted for . . . Let’s guess . . . Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama.

Oh, she didn’t have a government issued ID and even a breath.

Income Equality . . . with thanks to Dave Kennamer in today’s WSJ

In 1980, according to the Tax Foundation, citing IRS data, the income share going to the top 1% was 8.46%. In 2011, it rose to 18.7%. But during that same period, percentage of federal income tax paid by the top 1% rose from 19.05% to 35.06%.

That means that the share the rest of us paid went from just over 80% in 1980 to a little less than 65% in 2011. Sooner or later there will be a study that suggests that if we want to significantly reduce the share of income going to the rich, the share of taxes paid by them will be reduced as well. That means the share paid by the rest of us will have to rise. Once this analysis reaches the public, the showbiz economists from the left will spare no effort to slime the authors of this daring study.

P.O.P., nee G.O.P.

The Grand Old Party rapidly approaches insignificance . . . In her column (GOP CRAFTS PLAN TO WRECK THE COUNTRY, LOSE VOTERS) our friend Ann Coulter cites myriad polls aggregated by the indomitable Phyllis Schlafly. (Ms. Coulter notes: The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it’s too important to wait.)

It incorporates “surveys from the Pew Research Center, the Pew Hispanic Center, Gallup, NBC News, Harris polling, the Annenberg Policy Center, Latino Decisions, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hudson Institute.”  It is simply a masters thesis on how to destroy the Grand Old Party, midgetizing it, at least at the national level into the Petite Old Party.

It is clear that the only thing gained for Republicans is support from the Chamber of Commerce, a support in decline partly because the very illegal immigrants the Chamber empowers hate business which the Chamber empowers.

Even the Conservatives in Congress, have, as they are wont to do, succumbed to the lure of the left, the desire to be written about favorably in the New York Slimes and Washington comPost and be invited to all the right parties, and then mocked.  One needs only to look at the experience of John McCain who slavishly curried favor and received laudatory treatment until he became the candidate. Or more recently, Chris Christie who supposedly played the leftist media (a redundancy) like Yo Yo Ma, only to be stalled in a tunnel on his way to 2016.

We have tipped.

“Libido” offends “Progressives!”

In the “controversy” stirred by former Governor Huckabee, one must separate the bullshit from the applebutter.  Of course, any “controversy” reported by our Mainstream Media, aka, the State Controlled Scriveners, must be parsed.  In this abject example, the Governor said:

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it.

Obviously, Mr. Huckabee’s point is that Democrats, specifically our “Progressive” friends and Liberals, view women as the lesser sex, paternalistically needing government to provide “free” birth control in order to prevent the medical condition we call pregnancy.

The Scriveners, rather than reporting on the obvious – that women can both make their own decisions and afford their choices –  and taking their direction from the Democrat National Committee, for whom they work, obsess about the word libido, as they obsess over anything sexual, ethnic, racial, or favorable to America.

And, we add, as a survivor of cancer -so dramatic, eh? – neither uncle Sugar, nor our Obamacare ordered insurance pays for our daily Cialis so that we can satisfy our libido as girls can.  It’s so unfair! And, as we know, the goal is not what’s right, it’s what’s fair! Whine, whine, whine . . .

Perhaps the greatest insult is that our “Progressive” friends view women as too stupid to understand English as a First Language. (They aren’t all illegal immigrants!)

Stephen Hawking, Global Warmer . . .

Oh sure, after reading Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, several times in fact, along comes the professor now to dissuade us from relying on, drum role please, A Brief History of Time.  In his new paper, Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes, Professor Hawking inadvertently veers into precisely what is wrong with the “science” supporting the Global Warming theorists. Professor Hawking simply adjusts his previous dicta on “Black Holes.”

The significance?  There WAS “consensus” in the scientific community that his theory of Black Holes was immutable. The operative word, “consensus” is precisely why climate scientists are very probably wrong about climate! Consensus is not science, does not satisfy the “scientific method,” and in polite company is referred to as hokum. Here, we call it pure, unadulterated BULLSHIT.
