My Body, Their Choice
Turning health care over to the government inevitably limits individual freedom.
.......
For pro-choice, pro-reform liberals, this is exactly the problem: On the one hand, they support a massive expansion of government funding and bureaucratic control into nearly every corner of the health care system. On the other hand, they're incensed that the government would make rules about how that funding can be used.
It's grimly ironic: After spending much of the year ridiculing opponents of health care reform for insisting that reform would put government in between doctors and patients, they're now up in arms that government has gotten involved in decisions they believe should only be made by women and their doctors.
But if the history of bureaucracy teaches us anything, it's that what the government funds is what the government controls. Or, to put it another way: When the government gets involved in making everyone's health care decisions, it may be your body, but it won't be your choice.

Try to Tax the Rich- Watch Them Leave
Hat tip to Dealbreaker for this one.... This most interesting point is the last line. Governments think they can raise taxes to unreasonable rates to steal from only the rich to pay for all the socialist programs they over promise and under-deliver on, BUT all it will achieve is making the wealthy leave.......
Proof The Recovery Is For Real
Posted by Greg Michaels, Oct 29, 2009, 2:31pm
Two critical questions about the economic recovery can now be put to rest: (1) is the consumer back and (2) are government policies having an impact. The answer to both questions can be found in 290 feet of opulence otherwise known as the world’s largest sailing yacht, the Maltese Falcon. After months of rumor and speculation, we now have confirmation that, after parting with $120 million, one lucky individual can now sail the seven seas in style. So who has a cool $100 mil to throw down on a yacht like this in the current economic climate?
Wealth Report can now confirm an unsourced report on Yachtpals, that the buyer was Elena Ambrosiadou, founder of the hedge fund Ikos Partners.
Media reports from 2008 say the Greece-born hedge funder was the highest paid woman and wealthiest female entrepreneur in Britain. The British press estimated her net worth last year at 200 million pounds ($327.5 million), though she is probably worth far more if she could afford to plunk down $120 million for a boat.
But tales of UK-based hedge fund managers buying massive yachts are exactly what British regulators have heard enough of. They plan to send the message loud and clear that funds in the UK are going do their part to clean up the current mess through higher taxes. That way, people like Ms. Ambrosiadou will learn a valuable lesson.
She recently moved her fund to Cyprus, according to press reports, to avoid Britain’s new tax increase and rules for nondomiciled residents.

No Depression
nice post on Crossing Wall Street blog

No More Historical Comparisons Graphs
Starting today, I refuse to look at any more charts that contain five or more squiggly lines, one labeled 2009, another labeled 1929, another 1974, another 1379. Enough!
These charts were kind of fun to look at a few months ago, but seriously, markets don’t trace out precise patterns from decades ago. On the morning of October 19, 1987, the WSJ famously ran a similar chart comparing the Dow’s current run with the market’s run-up in 1929, but there was one major difference. They altered the x-axis to make it a better fit. Once you start toying around with the data, you can make anything fit

Liberal Looking Glass....
One from Jonah Goldberg pointing out correctly that modern American liberals (and the press) see only "conservatives" as the ones supporting bad ideas, and liberals are always somehow not at fault for anything bad that happens under their watch....
JG at NRO - the Corner
Liberals Are Never to Blame
http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZWNlYzYzNDU1NTcwMjAyNTEyM2JlYTNlMmFhMjg0ZGU=
This reminded me of a passage from my book:
In the liberal telling of America’s story, there are only two perpetrators of official misdeeds: conservatives and “America” writ large. progressives, or modern liberals, are never bigots or tyrants, but conservatives often are. For example, one will virtually never hear that the Palmer Raids, Prohibition, or American eugenics were thoroughly progressive phenomena. These are sins America itself must atone for. Meanwhile, real or alleged “conservative” misdeeds—say, McCarthyism—are always the exclusive fault of conservatives and a sign of the policies they would repeat if given power. The only culpable mistake that liberals make is failing to fight “hard enough” for their principles. Liberals are never responsible for historic misdeeds, because they feel no compulsion to defend the inherent goodness of America. Conservatives, meanwhile, not only take the blame for events not of their own making that they often worked the most assiduously against, but find themselves defending liberal misdeeds in order to defend America herself.
Or, as George Clooney once put it:
“Yes, I’m a liberal, and I’m sick of it being a bad word. I don’t know at what time in history liberals have stood on the wrong side of social issues.”

Thomas Friedman is a Liberal Fascist
On "the Corner" from National Review
Wednesday, September 09, 2009
Thomas Friedman is a Liberal Fascist [Jonah Goldberg]
Mark beat me to it, but I must put in my two cents. Thomas Friedman writes:
So there you have it. If only America could drop its inefficient and antiquated system, designed in the age before globalization and modernity and, most damning of all, before the lantern of Thomas Friedman's intellect illuminated the land. If only enlightened experts could do the hard and necessary things that the new age requires, if only we could rely on these planners to set the ship of state right. Now, of course, there are "drawbacks" to such a system: crushing of dissidents with tanks, state control of reproduction, government control of the press and the internet. Omlettes and broken eggs, as they say. More to the point, Friedman insists, these "drawbacks" pale in comparison to the system we have today here in America.
I cannot begin to tell you how this is exactly the argument that was made by American fans of Mussolini in the 1920s. It is exactly the argument that was made in defense of Stalin and Lenin before him (it's the argument that idiotic, dictator-envying leftists make in defense of Castro and Chavez today). It was the argument made by George Bernard Shaw who yearend for a strong progressive autocracy under a Mussolini, a Hitler or a Stalin (he wasn't picky in this regard). This is the argument for an "economic dictatorship" pushed by Stuart Chase and the New Dealers. It's the dream of Herbert Croly and a great many of the Progressives.
I have no idea why I still have the capacity to be shocked by such things. A few years ago, during the worst part of the Iraq war, I wrote a column saying that Iraq needed a Pinochet type to bring order to Iraq and help develop democratic and liberal institutions. To this day, I get vicious hate mail from liberal and leftist readers for my "pro-dictator" stance. Meanwhile, Thomas Friedman, golden boy of the NYT op-ed page, is writing love-letters to dictatorships because they have the foresight to invest in electric batteries and waterless toilets or something. It looks like there's reason to hope I was wrong about Iraq (I certainly hope I was). But at least I favored a dictatorship of sorts — for another country! — because I thought it would lead to a liberal democracy. Here, Friedman lives in a liberal democracy but has his nose pressed up against the candy store window of a cruel, undemocratic, regime and all he can do is drool over the prospect of having the same power here. It's disgusting.
Update: A friend IM's:
great post ; you know whoe specially hates the argument Friedman makes? Indians. They hear that argument all the time — from Indian communists; but smart indians I talk to want to stab your eyes out when they hear you say this argument since they know democracy — as messy as it is — is a huge strength for them. You would think Bangalore Tom might understand this.

Thomas Friedman is a Liberal Fascist [Jonah Goldberg]
Mark beat me to it, but I must put in my two cents. Thomas Friedman writes:
Watching both the health care and climate/energy debates in Congress, it is hard not to draw the following conclusion: There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy, and that is one-party democracy, which is what we have in America today.
One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. It is not an accident that China is committed to overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power. China’s leaders understand that in a world of exploding populations and rising emerging-market middle classes, demand for clean power and energy efficiency is going to soar. Beijing wants to make sure that it owns that industry and is ordering the policies to do that, including boosting gasoline prices, from the top down.
Our one-party democracy is worse....
So there you have it.
