MSNBC reporting on the "Birthers"

"Birthers" are people who allegedly believe that Barack Obama is not a U.S. Citizen and therefore should be removed from office.

This question was long-ago answered and the issue closed when President Obama's birth certificate was published on the Internet, yet people persist on bringing up the issue despite the overwhelming evidence.

The trouble is, these people don't really believe Obama is not a citizen, they are simply "Swift-Boating" the weak-minded public.

The news media is playing its role by pandering to the idea that these people actually believe what they are claiming. Personally knowing the capability of those people to convince others they believe something they know is false, I'm not surprised that MSNBC would fall for it so easily.

Economic Costs and Government Intervention

I found the president's speech inspiring, and even though the response by the Governor of Louisiana was, to put it lightly, lackluster, it did make me wonder if government oversight of business has been used as a prop to make businesses too big.



Case in point, The Associated Press reported that the absence of Food and Drug Administration inspections at a plant that manufactures medical syringes resulted in the shipment of several that were contaminated. [1]

The Bush administration drastically reduced the F.D.A.'s effectiveness over the last few years, through deregulation, de-budgeting, or replacing people. The absence of inspectors may have uncovered serious flaws in production processes that may have been previously mitigated by the FDA's requirement that the company divert resources toward asset maintenance and cleanliness.

Now, without an effective FDA, do we see the true results of the Production Possibility Curve (PPC)? If the F.D.A. was removed entirely, we would surely once again see Karl Rove on a speaking tour talking about Tort Reform (reforming the legal system because of "out of control litigation.")

Without the FDA, companies that have maximized their production capacity at the expense of health and safety will face far more economic costs.

Republican death squads in America

If Barak Obama wins, Republican supporters may go on a murdering rampage. So keep secret your support of Barak Obama until the coast is clear.

The vicious attacks by AM Talk Radio and Fox News has raised the level of fear in Republicans to such a degree that violence is eminent.

This is the beginning of a madness never before seen among the vicious and hateful. They can't stand to hear simple questions that cause them to think about themselves.
