Via Red State
September 6 – Van Jones resigns under pressure as Obama’s ‘Green Jobs Czar’.

September 9 – He’s back at the Center for American Progress, where he was previously a Senior Fellow.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that (NTTAWWT), of course.

Make no mistake. Van Jones is well taken care of. Just like Louis Caldera, the fall-guy for that Air Force One fly-over stunt over Lower Manhattan, who also now works at CAP. Tom Daschle is getting along just fine, as is Perjurin’ Bill Clinton. And don’t be surprised at all if convicted felon William Jefferson (D-LA) is well-taken care of once he’s done his time. He’ll land some fat-cat do-nothing job under some leftist umbrella group.

What the media ignores – unbelivable corruption – ACORN’s bad week part three

by Mr. Bob | 8:59 am, September 15, 2009

#TCOT #ACORN #REDCO #TEAPARTY

The story behind the story about ACORN is of course that old media (and the administration) hopes by ignoring it the story will go away. ACORN had a big part in electing our current president and they are anything but bi-partisan (although they are a taxpayer funded org.)

During the election there were many stories (again only by new media) that ACORN employees only helped people get to the polls who were voting for Obama, and they did their best to register as many people as possible as a Democrat….didn’t matter if the “voter” was dead or alive… or a cartoon character. Old media grudgingly told a few stories about it, making sure of course to also print the Liberal party story to explain it. The party line has always been it is the low level employees who are out of control…not management.

I don’t expect that these new victories for the truth will do much to slow down the progressive left, so we must push the pedal down, keep shining that light telling the truth and posting the videos. Obama and his Chicago machine will do anything they can to shut down the flashlight of truth on how things work in that world. OBAMA to BLOCK DOJ INVESTIGATIONS into ACORN

The media and the administration COMPLETELY and continuously underestimate new media (blogs and talk radio rose not just because of technology but because of perceived bias in the main stream media by main stream Americans) but Obama appears to be shockingly tone deaf and….deadly wrong. This could be the death of liberals in charge of anything the next 20 years if he keeps this up.

Today he is meeting with Bill Clinton…hopefully Bill’s advise will be skewed because he wants his wife to be the nominee next time because Clinton, is NOT tone deaf, he knows when to give in…parry and come back from another direction. Obama so far has only had one direction…turn hard left, do not pass go…etc.

The bad week for ACORN continues….it’s turning into a bad year for them.
From Holycoast.com; Today House Republicans will introduce a bill that would end all federal funding to ACORN and its affiliates. Republicans are also sending a letter to President Obama on the same subject. >while the main stream media ignores it! (insert mine)

The action comes after the release, on the website BigGovernment, of three undercover videos showing ACORN employees in Baltimore, Washington DC, and New York City offering advice on how to evade taxes, cover up prostitution activity, and abet the use of minors in prostitution. In the wake of those disclosures, the U.S. Census cut its ties with ACORN, and yesterday the Senate voted 83-7 to cut off housing funds for the organization. Read the rest (FYI, there are a lot more than 3 videos now)

2008 was known to conservatives as the year the media died. They went so far into the tank for Obama it was sickening…they didn’t even look into his past or even his college records (like they ALWAYS did before). ACORN corruption is another long nail in their coffin. The New York Times actually said they have not covered the story of ACORN because people were on vacation!!! Charlie Gibson of ABC said he had not even heard of the story.

The age of corruption is trembling from a coming earthquake. A quake caused by exposing it, this is just the beginning. Take heart America, we can get our country back, the foundation though cracking is still in place.

Norman Podhoretz on the persistence of Jewish liberalism

by Rossputin | 2:08 am, September 15, 2009

As a (not particularly religious) Jew and someone who thinks a lot about politics, I’ve often wondered and spoken about the persistent tendency of Jews to be not simply liberals, but dogmatic Democrats, despite the clear facts that the GOP is far more supportive of Israel than the Democratic Party and that the home of anti-Semitism in American government today is the Congressional Black Caucus, a fixture of the Democratic Party.

Over at the Wall Street Journal, Norman Podhoretz has written (last week) a pretty good article on the subject and I commend it to you:

See “Why Are Jews Liberals?”, Norman Podhoretz, WSJ, 9/10/09
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203440104574402591116901498.html

I should note that the article’s subtitle is “I’m hoping buyer’s remorse on Obama will finally cause a Jewish shift to the right.” On this, I think Podhoretz is too optimistic. Yes, I think Jews will move away from Obama, but no more than the rest of the population will and probably less. Jews like to support the underdog because we’ve generally been the underdog. From that standpoint, a black guy would have to do a hell of a lot wrong (probably even more than Obama is doing wrong) for Jews to abandon him en masse.

Restore Free Market to Address Pre-existing Conditions

by Ari Armstrong | 12:13 am, September 15, 2009

The following article originally was published September 14 by Grand Junction’s Free Press.

Restore free market to address pre-existing conditions

by Linn and Ari Armstrong

Barack Obama’s most compelling examples of problems in health care involve insurers dropping coverage of people once they develop health problems. A related issue is the trouble some have in getting new insurance after they develop health conditions.

We agree that these problems of pre-existing conditions are serious and provide a compelling reason to reform health insurance.

However, Obama is totally wrong about the solution. The problem of pre-existing conditions is a consequence of decades of political controls of medicine. The solution is to roll back those controls and restore a free market, not introduce more controls and the worse consequences they will inevitably breed.

Obama and many others like to pretend that today’s health insurance operates in a free market. It does not. Federal and state politicians have seriously undermined the competitiveness of insurance through gross violations of the contract rights of insurers and their customers.

Through tax distortions, federal politicians have driven most Americans into expensive, non-portable insurance funded through employers. Lose your job, lose your insurance.

Moreover, employer-paid insurance operates more like pre-paid health care than real insurance, again because of the tax distortion. Such “insurance” tends to cover routine, low-cost care but increasingly falls down when it comes to expensive emergencies.

By contrast, real insurance in a free market would tend to cover unexpected emergencies and leave routine care for direct payment, thereby keeping premiums much lower than what most pay now.

A major consequence of federally promoted, employer-paid insurance is to create problems of pre-existing conditions. If somebody gets sick and can no longer work, the person also loses health insurance and probably can’t find another provider.

Politicians continually subject health insurance to changing controls, different from state to state. This effectively prevents insurance companies from offering long-term contracts, because insurers cannot know what political controls they’ll have to deal with down the road. It also reduces insurance competitiveness, as a policy issued in one state is not valid in another.

Another way that politicians undermine competitive insurance is to outlaw insurance options that politicians and bureaucrats don’t happen to like. In his article “How Freedom to Contract Protects Insurability,” Dr. Paul Hsieh points out that political controls effectively prevent organizations such as church ministries from creating insurance.

“The only thing preventing individuals from creating their own contractually binding risk pools today is the government,” Hsieh writes.

Yet, ignoring all the ways that politicians harm those with pre-existing conditions, Obama pretends that the fundamental problem is insurance profits.

In a free market, profit means that customers happily pay for some good or service. It is only outside of that market context that profit is bad. For example, a Mafia boss might “profit” by killing people, or a politician might “profit” by doing favors for special interests.

The fundamental issue is not profit versus non-profit, but freedom versus force. The problem with insurance companies is not that they seek to make a profit, but that they must operate as de facto agents of political overseers who call the shots.

On a truly free market, in which insurers and their customers were free from today’s political controls, people would tend to buy insurance directly, rather than get stuck with the few non-portable plans their employer chooses for them.

In a free market, insurers would be free to offer more plans to more people, and consumers would be free to shop around, regardless of state boundaries. Politicians would no longer coddle insurers with protectionist controls and tax favoritism.

In a free market, insurers would compete on the basis of quality, security, and transparency of contract. Today, because of political controls, insurance companies face little real competition, and they would face even less under Obama’s policies.

In a free market, insurance companies would be able to offer long-term policies that today are politically impossible.

The proper role of government is to protect individual rights, including the right of businesses and their customers to freely contract. The government’s role in a free market is to prevent fraud and ensure fulfillment of contract. If government were doing its legitimate job, insurance companies could not arbitrarily drop people.

Almost the entire problem of pre-existing conditions was caused by political controls. Given that politicians have mucked things up so badly, the last thing in the world we need is for Obama to expand political controls of medicine.

We should instead fight for real freedom in medicine and health insurance, in which the problems of pre-existing conditions would be rare and easily handled through voluntary charity.

True, restoring a free market in the future will not solve all the problems of those who now have pre-existing conditions, no insurance, and ongoing, expensive medical care. Therefore, we support, as a transitional measure only, a tax-subsidized high-risk pool, such as Cover Colorado currently provides.

When it comes to problems of pre-existing conditions, the disease is political controls. The cure is more liberty.

Atlas Shrugged Relevant for Modern Times

by Ari Armstrong | 11:57 am, September 14, 2009

The following article originally was published September 14, 2009, in the Longmont Times-Call.

Atlas Shrugged relevant for modern times

by Ari Armstrong

“Who is John Galt?” Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand’s novel first published in 1957, is more relevant than ever. Modern political interventions from the bailouts to health controls mirror events of the book, and the novel reveals innovative moral themes behind the politics.

In response to heightened interest in Rand’s answers to today’s moral and political crises, a local group that promotes Rand’s philosophy, Front Range Objectivism, is sponsoring a twenty-week Atlas Shrugged reading group in Longmont starting October 1.

Sales of the novel have surged, surpassing 300,000 copies in the first half of this year, a 250 percent increase over the same period last year. The novel has been discussed recently by media ranging from the New York Times and National Public Radio to Rush Limbaugh.

John Allison, who turned BB&T bank into a stable and profitable powerhouse, has credited Rand’s ideas for some of his success and called Atlas Shrugged “the best defense of capitalism ever written.”

Meanwhile, respected philosophers such as Tara Smith forge bright new paths in moral theory and other fields based on Rand’s work.

What is it about Atlas Shrugged that draws continued interest?

While the novel features detailed treatment of complex moral and political ideas, including a challenging speech by the story’s hero, it is first a classic work of literature.

Rand draws rich, psychologically complex characters, including great champions of industry and the arts as well as despicable villains.

Which reader can forget the driven railroad executive, Dagny Taggart, or her passionate affair with steel titan Hank Rearden? Or Dagny’s manipulative brother James? Or the struggle of James’s virtuous wife Cheryl to understand her husband’s viciousness? Or the three students and their beloved professor who vow to “stop the motor of the world” until its producers can work on their own terms?

On one level, Atlas Shrugged is about politics. Interventions such as Troubled Asset Relief, General Motors, “cash for clunkers,” numerous offices of czars, and pending legislation on energy and health reflect the political controls of industry chronicled in the novel.

Rand eloquently makes the case that the proper purpose of government is to protect individual rights, including rights to control one’s resources and exchange goods and services with others voluntarily. Government should protect us against force and fraud and otherwise leave us free to pursue our business.

Yet Rand advocates much more than free markets. She explains why we need economic liberty to live successfully. We produce the things we need to advance our lives through reason, by understanding reality and then acting in the world to achieve our values. Houses, computers, foods, medical treatments, automobiles: all are produced by applying one’s knowledge to the task of living well.

Reason requires freedom. One must be free to look independently at reality and pursue knowledge, wherever it may lead. To the degree that some resort to force, they shut down reason and impede productive advancement. To live as beings of reason, we must achieve political and economic freedom and a world in which people interact through persuasion, not force.

Rand pushes ever deeper, exploring the foundations of value. Rand’s heroes are driven by a love of existence — a passion to understand the world around them and live successfully in it. It is ultimately this commitment to living that grounds all values, Rand’s heroes discover.

The villains of the novel, on the other hand, seek to block out and obscure their knowledge, cheat reality, and ultimately abdicate their responsibility to pursue their lives.

Several participants of a summer reading group commented that, though they’d read Atlas Shrugged before, reading and discussing it in greater detail almost turned it into a new novel. It is a long book with a complex plot and set of ideas. The heroes develop over many pages and story-months, so Rand’s meaning is not always obvious.

If you have never read Atlas Shrugged, now is the perfect time. If you have read it before, consider returning to the novel to mine its riches. It is a work capable of changing its reader — and the world.

Too little, too late: Washington Post writes about Van Jones

by Rossputin | 8:24 am, September 14, 2009

In an almost-funny case of too little, too late, the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz writes a nearly interesting post-mortem on the Van Jones affair, with much emphasis on how Glenn Beck was responsible for the world’s finding out what sort of bad apple Jones really is…with the “mainstream” (far left) media conspicuously absent.

You can read Kurtz’s piece here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100587.html?

The worst part of Kurtz’s article is the first paragraph of the second page (in the web version) where he waves away liberal media bias as a reason that there was almost no newspaper coverage of Van Jones.

Personally, I’m extremely pleased that the guy who started the group which tried to get Beck’s sponsors to leave him has gotten a taste of his own medicine. Guess you picked on the wrong guy, Mr. Jones.

I’m not Beck’s biggest fan, though I do think he’s smarter than average and fairly entertaining. But there is no doubt that he does more homework and breaks more news than the average national radio figure. And in this case, he has done the nation a great service.

Now we need someone to show the world what Sunstein, Holdren, and other Obama anti-capitalist, anti-science, left-wing fringe nut “czars” really are.

What to do with GM and AIG shares?

by Rossputin | 12:59 am, September 14, 2009

A few days ago, a friend of mine who likes to think about politics and economics asked me this question: “What would you think about distributing shares of government owned companies (GM, Chrystler, AIG, others) to citizens? Each person would get some shares and decide what to do with ‘em.”

Here was my response:

While I appreciate the sentiment behind the idea, I don’t support it. On the one hand, it would be great if more people had a connection to the stock market so they cared about regulation, taxes, etc. But a majority of Americans already do. Of the rest, if you just give them shares of a couple particular companies, then they’re going to want the government to tilt the playing field for those companies and against competition. Also, receiving a small number of shares in something is more trouble than it’s worth. Many people would have no idea how to open a brokerage account and the hours it would take them to do so in order to dispose of a few shares of stock would not be worth it.

Beyond that, however, and most importantly, it’s unconstitutional and not the proper role of government. It could leave the feeling in some people’s mouths that what the government did is OK. Remember, the government STOLE property in the case of GM and Chrysler by violating decades or centuries of liquidation preference law to steal from bondholders and give to unions (and to a lesser degree to the government). That can’t be made to seem OK by trying to bribe citizens with quasi-stolen shares.

The government should do a multi-round IPO, i.e. sell 1/3 of the stock in each company per year for 3 years (because the positions are probably too big to dispose of all at once, though that would be a better way to handle it if the market could absorb it). They should consider a Dutch Auction style in addition to a standard fixed-price offering.

I’d also note that if there were any plan such as you described, it would become a political nightmare. It’s obvious to me that people should get shares in such a plan in proportion to the amount of income tax they’ve paid (maybe average of last 5 years?). But the Democratss would try to distribute them much more “equally” than that, and it would essentially be a massive redistribution of wealth for no reason other than to buy votes for the Dems. Such an outcome would be outrageously unprincipled, even by Democrats’ standards, and I think even most Democratic Congressmen would have a hard time supporting it conceptually/privately (which is not to say they wouldn’t then vote for it.)

I would encourage my Congressman, even though he’s a Democrat, not to follow what happened in the government takeover of these companies with a next step that makes those events more palatable to the public. (And my Congressman, Jared Polis, has a slightly better understanding of economics than many of his Democratic colleagues. I think he’s somewhat uneasy about the government’s role in these companies, but that’s just a hunch.)

From the point of view of the far left of the party, spinning off shares
would generally be a negative in a certain way because they don’t want people learning about markets and economics and the damage that government really does, but they might find the positive of being able to bribe citizens with their own money even more tempting. After all, that’s what Pelosi and Frank are best at. Again, I would urge my Congressman not to go along even though I believe the nice-sounding intent of distributing shares to the public to try to get the gov’t out of owning these companies could appeal to those many politicians who care more about happy voters than justice or the rule of law.
