Lethal Bush Baby

Is there any surprise that one of the inconsequential females GWB sired supports the colossal health-care entitlement program BHO passed? One can hardly consider Barbara Bush’s statist father and left-liberal mother intellectual and moral role models capable of steering this brassy young woman toward an understanding of freedom.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Barbara Bush said she’s “glad” Democrats passed the massive spending measure and President Barack Obama signed it into law.
“Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?” the 28-year old said. “Health should be a right for everyone.”
Asked specifically what she though about the president’s health care initiative, Bush replied with a smile, “That is a good question – obviously the health care reform bill was highly debated by a lot of people and I guess I’m glad the bill was passed.”

The former First Dolt is using her celebrity clout to promote the unethical idea that a medic should be conscripted to serve those in need of his services; in other words, that healthcare is a natural right, and not a service. Men and women who work in this industry thus must be conscripted by central planners, rather than left to offer their services on the free market, or as part of voluntary charities.

Speaking of private charities, Barbara Bush “runs the Global Health Corps, a nonprofit group that aims to connect ‘outstanding young leaders with organizations working on the front lines in order to promote global health equity,’ according to the organization’s website.”

From operating a successful, private, non-profits, health-care charity, Bush has taken away that the world needs more state-run care.

UPDATED: Geller: 'Truth Is The New Hate Speech'

Remember BAB posted about one Mosab Yousef, known as “Son of Hamas”—also the title of his book? This bright, young Palestinian underwent, first, a religious conversion, and, in short order, a political one. Once he embraced Christianity, Yousef’s political change of heart followed, and he abandoned the easy, destructive, fashionable path of the Palestinians; stopped rooting for the savagery of his Hamasnik father and joined civilization (such as it is).

Now, as the irrepressible, anti-Islamization activist Pamela Geller reports, the Treason Class running this country is deporting Yousef back to his , the West Bank, where he’ll likely be finished off. (Yeah, Flotilla Fans: that’s what they do to dissenters in Muslim territories; and with the assent of the Muslim Street)

Slight correction to such Bush-supporters as is Ms. Geller (who has called Bush a good man), whose post may give the impression that the current president’s policies are not a seamless continuation of those of the last. Bush would have done nothing different—and was even more of an illegal immigration enthusiast than is Obama. As I like to say, Bush would have wrestled a crocodile for a criminal alien. And he did.

Granted, Obama has been holding back on the matter of immigration because he’s pacing himself. There is only so much destruction and deconstruction the man can achieve at once. In order to push through parts of his political agenda, Obama has to bide his time with respect to other aspects thereof.

Bush, on the other hand, denied us much needed social-security reform, but went full steam ahead with instigating invasions and welcoming invaders, the two sides of the same neoconservative coin.

“TRUTH IS THE NEW HATE SPEECH.” While on the topic of outrages: Ms. Geller reports that PayPal has revoked her account privileges, if I understand their complaint correctly, because they contend she runs a site promoting “hate.” They have, consequently, instructed Ms/ Geller to remove her PayPal button.

This repulsive conduct on the part of PayPal follows YouTube’s reprehensible, Muslim-driven (no doubt) removal of the “We Con The World” clip (hiding being copyright claims).

It seems that in the US, we don’t need a Canadian-style Human Rights kangaroo court; we have the private sector to enforce the tyranny minimized as political correctness.

The solution has to be obvious: credible competition to both PayPal and YouTube that will offer service sans the dhimmi, Acceptable-Use Policy constraints.

UPDATE (June 15): Ms. Geller, a formidable fighter, has beaten PayPal in its cowardly attempts to bully her into submission, and has brought the internet transaction company some bad, bad press.

Ms. Geller exults, “Paypal Called, Paypal Caved Paypal backed down. Excelsior!”

Always on the look for an ethical, as opposed ego-driven, voice on the Right, I’ve picked up in Ms. Geller’s latest battle something quite different—unheard of among the garden variety, ego-bound, conservative female commentators to whom we are subjected:

“I asked what recourse do smaller websites have? As this is my real concern. My soapbox is pretty big, but what about small blogs?”

Yes, should it come under PayPal attack, Barely a Blog would never be able to generate support among mainstream conservatives as Geller has. For thinking of voices such as ours, we thank Ms. Geller.

We also thank her for bringing to our awareness an alternative to PayPal, should they continue to hound truth and freedom:

“Needless to say, I am not going back,” writes Ms. Geller. “I told [PayPal woman] that, too. She wished I would reconsider. But, no. I am sticking with Gpal — the G stands for guns.”

Regulation Wrecking Ball: The Gulf & The Jones Act

Energy, Hollywood, Human Accomplishment, Intelligence, Regulation, Science, Technology

REGULATION WRECKS. The point was made in “When Palin Agrees With Olbermann,” with reference to the Federal law limiting liability under which BP was operating. The regulation wrecking Ball is still swinging over the Gulf. In particular, The Jones Act. The scandal is beyond the grasp of such stupidity as is exhibited by “Hollow-Wood”:

“Foreign companies possessing some of the world’s most advanced oil skimming ships say they are being kept out of efforts to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf because of a 1920’s law known as the Jones Act — a protectionist law that requires vessels working in US waters be built in the US and be crewed by US workers.

Joseph Carafano of the Heritage Foundation has been studying the matter and wonders, ‘Are we accepting all the international assistance in the maritime domain that we can, and is the Jones Act an impediment to that?’

The Coast Guard and the Administration are quick to point out that some foreign technology is being used in the current cleanup effort. Including:

– Canada’s offer of 3,000 meters of containment boom

– Three sets of COSEQ sweeping arms from the Dutch

– Mexico’s offer of two skimmers and 4200 meters of boom

– Norway’s offer of 8 skimming systems

But that is largely technology transferred to US vessels. Some of the best clean up ships – owned by Belgian, Dutch and the Norwegian firms are NOT being used. Coast Guard Lt. Commander, Chris O’Neil, says that is because they do not meet ‘the operational requirements of the Unified Area Command.’ One of those operational requirements is that vessels comply with the Jones Act.

‘Yes, it does apply,’ said ONeil, ‘I have heard no discussions of waivers.'”

READ ON.

“A Jones Act waiver” is not something the state workers involved in the pitiful clean-up—his Admiralty Thad Allen included—are eager to obtain.

The We-Are-The-Best-In-The-World chauvinists ought to take note: America is no longer cutting edge. But The Golden Calf will get us there again, right?
