Why should employers be expected to provide "health care" when there are so many other things that are more vital to people's daily existence that they are not required to provide?<br /><br />Outside of the military, very few employers provide you a house, food, heat or power. Why not? Those things are at least as important as "health care" is.<br /><br />As for proving or disproving "climate change", Dr. Keating's challenge is a straw man. Very few people dispute "climate change". Relatively few dispute that humans may, in fact, have some influence on the climate. What people like myself dispute is:<br /><br />A) The degree that the climate is actually changing<br /><br />B) The degree that human activity is actually responsible for what change is actually happening.<br /><br />C) The degree that we can actually do anything to stop, much less reverse or even slow this change.<br /><br />When you break the "climate change" debate down to these three questions, you will find far less "consensus" among the so-called "experts". Quite frankly, the changes they propose for our economy would have near-zero impact on reducing change, much less reversing it. (Unless we're willing to nuke China, which builds hundreds of new coal plants each and every year, there's little difference we could possibly make)<br /><br />So all we're left with are Marxist-oriented solutions which will make no difference to the climate, but will make a big difference to the standard of living you now enjoy.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-68526726204320457832014-07-03T14:21:50.462-05:002014-07-03T14:21:50.462-05:00Never bring a sword to a spatula fight:

Of course, that's what the left wants. The last thing they need are people critically thinking about this issue.<br /><br />The funny part is in their effort to spin this 360 degrees, they accidentally say things that are absolutely true. Take this one, straight out of the White House via new head spokeshole Josh Earnest:<br /><br /><i>"President Obama believes that women should make personal health-care decisions for themselves rather than their bosses deciding for them."</i><br /><br />Well, there's something we both could heartily agree on. <b>Employers should not be engaged in making health decisions for their employees, any more than the government should be.</b><br /><br /><b>If only the President actually believed that, because if anything, ObamaCare pulls personal health-care decisions <i>away</i> from people.</b> <br /><br />But as I've said before, <i>if you're not writing the check, then you are not the customer.</i> Ultimately, it's the person who pays for your care who gets to make the big decision. It's up to you to decide who's got your better interests at heart: Your employer, the government, or yourself. (Personally, I've chosen "myself", albeit at great economic cost)<br /><br /><b>Speaking of who should have control over your health care, have any of you noticed the new narrative being deployed by the left?</b><br /><br />It goes something like <i>"What if the company's owners' religious beliefs do not include modern medicine? What if the owner follows Sharia Law? Religious freedom is not exclusive to Christianity."</i> Since I've seen this argument now from disparate sources, I have to assume it's an organized meme being planted via the usual media sources.<br /><br />First, let me congratulate the left on finally recognizing that "Sharia Law" is indeed a threat. This may be the first time I've heard those who consider themselves part of the establishment to the left of Ann Coulter acknowledge this.<br /><br />Second, this only reinforces my argument that you get treated different as a "beneficiary" than you do as a "customer". "Customers receive service that suits their personal interest. "Beneficiaries" are at the mercy of their benefactors, be they parents, employers, the government, or imams. I'd much rather be the former than the latter. But don't just believe me. Ask the veterans who are still alive after being on 2-year waiting list of they like being the beneficiaries.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-58628613685598326482014-07-03T00:21:13.856-05:002014-07-03T00:21:13.856-05:00Yup:

Too many risks of getting a turd for an employee, and being stuck with them because of all the liberal affirmative action horse shit. We hire only temps, and if they cut the mustard for 90-180 days, they're in. If they suck, bye bye.... So, all the progressive simpletons who push for the "everybody gets a trophy" in the workplace actually screwed hourly workers out of full time jobs.<br /><br />But how long will it be before the libtards realize this and start taxing the crap out of companies for hiring temporary workers??<br /><br />And Stilton,<br />When I saw your artwork of that shriveled little gnome called Ginsberg, it reminded me of somebody else, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it until now.

If he was raising a concern about the employment of gay men or anyone else - "discrimination" in the current sense of the word - as a result of the Hobby Lobby decision, then you are correct Stilton, that is an interesting point. And a worthwhile one. But it was a narrow decision as you pointed out - I think you did - someone did. <br /><br />What bother's me is that the "progressives" in some sense have only "moved the goal posts" in the sense of allowing for "discrimination" for the "common good". That is to say, it is OK to discriminate to rectify past wrongs. This is what affirmative action is, after all. Companies are under pressure to hire/promote because of the color of someone's skin or their sex (or perhaps their sexual orientation). <br /><br />I have no sympathy for managers - I do for owners though. Property rights are important to me. Forcing a property owner to hire someone just because of what they are, and not what they can do for the company, violates property rights, whether it is a public company or not. That too is "discrimination". Hell, it's "discrimination" if you do not hire someone because you do not think they can do something for your company. But that is discrimination in the old sense of the word, the sense I prefer. <br /><br />Life isn't fair - as I have seen. I am not sure, with all due respect to Mr. Hlavac and others like him, why it is society's duty to muck with that. One of the things I like best about the libertarian ideal is that in a truly free market economy, if you don't like the way you are treated here, you go there. Of course, we are far from that ideal but still.<br /><br />I guess this is just a long winded whiney thing about getting the damn government out of everything we do.That is one of things I like best, though narrowly, in the Hobby Lobby decision, though the Supremes have handed down too many decisions the opposite way to (Obamacare).Transcendentalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-34007564307523606252014-07-02T12:07:36.817-05:002014-07-02T12:07:36.817-05:00According to many on the left, "sex" is ...According to many on the left, "sex" is not "an optional pastime". It's somewhere between inevitable and mandatory. This is what is behind their permissive attitude towards teenage sex. Since the sixties, Progressives have been using it as a carrot to buy the support of the shamlessly hormonally-driven, like Sandra Fluke.<br /><br />The narrative is that we're all just slaves to our hormonal drives, so there's no shame in mindlessly giving in to them. And since condoms and abortifacients will be provided for free, why not?<br /><br />The sad part about this notion is that it diminishes the greatest aspect of what separates humanity from the animals: That humans posses self-awareness and an intellect that can overpower our impulses and urges. Postmodernism diminishes this from relevance, and in the end makes us no better than the animals.<br /><br />Hence the euphemism, "we're only human" as a universal excuse for what should be considered bad behavior. It diminishes humanity, which is what the totalitarians want and need in order to control us. <i>We can't be great, so why bother?</i><br /><br /><b>And a thought regarding Ginsburg's notion of the blood sucking self-interested:</b><br /><br />If conservatives were as evil, self-centered, and purely profit-driven as many on the left like to imagine they are, you'd think that they'd be all about abortion-on-demand. After all, as an employer, women of childbearing age are troublesome and expensive, demanding and use far more days off for health and family reasons, and represent a disproportionate percentage of their health care costs. There's absolutely no question that offering up abortifacients to their employees would positively affect Hobby Lobby's bottom line. If their policy was really all about exploiting women, not only would they be paying for abortifacients, they'd be requiring them.<br /><br />While I'm at it, liberals not only love to imagine conservatives as white-male women-haters, but racists as well. Since certain minorities represent the greatest percentage of abortions conducted in the US, you'd think that these same white-male-woman-hating-racists wouldn't only be happy to pay for abortifacients, but would be putting in in the drinking fountains. The fact is that <a href="http://www.operationrescue.org/about-abortion/abortions-in-america/" rel="nofollow">abortion has done more to contain growth of the black population in America</a> than anything the KKK could have come up with.<br /><br />John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-75218980330625280152014-07-02T11:25:42.244-05:002014-07-02T11:25:42.244-05:00One more point: the belief that the Supreme Court ...One more point: the belief that the Supreme Court has anything to do with the law is incorrect.

As is the cultural message to women that <i>they can't say no to sex</i>.<br /><br />@Colby- It's a "women's health" issue because unplanned pregnancy can cause stress. And that's <i>way</i> more important than an actual <i>life</i>, right?<br /><br />@Eduardo de los Flácidos- Thanks for the nice words. And you make a good point that this whole nonsensical debate carries with it the Left's assertion that <i>women are too ducking fumb to manage their own reproductive systems</i>. <br /><br />Regarding the Quinnipiac poll, Obama is <i>definitely</i> the worst president since WWII (and may well be the president who causes WWIII, which is the final installment in the trilogy).<br /><br />@Jim Hlavac- You're right that this isn't about women's access to birth control or abortifacients - it's about who'll pay for them. And it's my understanding that insurance companies are still required to pay for abortifacients <i>even if they're not included in a company's policy</i>. In other words, this is all about bookkeeping and doesn't have diddly to do with women's access to anything.<br /><br />Like you, I'm puzzled by how this ruling affects gay men in any way. The actual Religious Freedom Restoration Act can more readily be understood to have an impact, but even that seems like it should be minimal when applied to actual law. If Hobby Lobby was refusing to employ gays, it might make for an interesting case - but I'm unaware of any such restrictions on their employees.<br /><br />@John the Econ- Once again, you sum things up so eloquently and passionately that you don't leave much room for me to do anything than jump in and agree - which I do, strongly.<br /><br />Clear away all the fog, and this really <i>is</i> about Total Control.

Maybe I should send her a copy...<br /><br />@Geoff King- As you point out, sex is an optional pastime. <i>Choosing</i> to have sex (in case pro-choicers don't know) means <i>choosing</i> to accept the accompanying risks.<br /><br />There is no "War on Women" in our nation other than that waged by the Libs to keep them angry and ignorant. Sadly, that's working pretty well for them.<br /><br />@Earl Allison- It's a delicious irony that Ginsburg's dissent does, as you point out, open the door for much broader interpretation than the very, very, very narrow ruling in this case. And that's fine with me.<br /><br />@Grumpy Curmudgeon- No, the Dems <i>don't</i> read any legislation or judicial rulings, because feelings always outweigh facts in their world. Which is another reason that they see women as nothing more than out of control reproductive systems.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- It <i>really</i> pisses me off that the MSM is neglecting to mention that Hobby Lobby is still providing plenty of contraceptives. So all of this phony outrage boils down to the Left wanting to make sure that the few women who work at Hobby Lobby and fail to use their <i>free</i> contraceptives can also get a free means of killing the unborn (half of whom are females).<br /><br />When it comes to a "War on Women," the Left is the only side actually amassing a body count.<br /><br />@Chuck Baker- Like you, I take very little solace from 5-4 decisions. We should not be coming that close to disaster in cases which are so Constitutionally clear.<br /><br />@Grumpy Curmudgeon- The Left believes that "settled law" occurs when they don't want to talk about it anymore. Happily, that standard frequently can't be enforced.<br /><br />@Stan da Man- Hey, I couldn't resist a camel/humping joke. And yes, I know (and love) the "ships of the desert" joke.<br /><br />@CenTexTim- In order to make things interesting from a legal standpoint, the Left needs to create "The Church of the Non-Virgin" which considers abortion a sacrement, and teaches the belief that heathens (anyone outside the church) should pay for the parishioners abortions.<br /><br />Better still, they should just STFU.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-53259045848797836822014-07-02T09:53:58.748-05:002014-07-02T09:53:58.748-05:00It's both amusing and revealing to watch the l...It's both amusing and revealing to watch the left come unglued over relatively minor rulings that dare to question their orthodoxy. This hysteria is mainly based upon a single assumption, which exposes the single biggest conceit of the modern left: <b><i>That it's entirely someone else's responsibility to pay for everything you think you need.</i></b><br /><br />The narrative universally being put forth by the left is that the "Hobby Lobby" decision is "denying" health care, birth control, or whatever to women. That is utter nonsense, as this decision <b>does no such thing.</b> It only says that Hobby Lobby doesn't have to pay for it. Any employee of Hobby Lobby or a similar employer is completely free to head down to their local doctor or pharmacy and purchase whatever legal method that they'd like. All it means is that Hobby Lobby doesn't have to pay for it.<br /><br />Distilled down, what the left really means is that when someone else isn't made to pay for things the left likes and thinks everyone should have, <i>then people's rights are being denied</i>. Of course, that's also nonsense. For example, the Constitution explicitly spells out that I have a right to free speech and to bear arms, but I seriously doubt that anyone would agree that those rights entitle me to my own newspaper, radio or TV program, or for guns purchased by my employers for my personal use lest those rights be denied me.<br /><br />Why should health care be any different? After all, things that employers give employees other than money are called "benefits", not "entitlements", right? Not anymore I guess.<br /><br />But this is just all an intentional distraction by the left. Instead of focusing on the 4 out of 20 birth control methods that Hobby Lobby will be "denying" their employees, <b>what people really should be thinking about at this point is <i>"This is what happens when you become reliant upon someone else to be providing for your personal needs."</i></b> <br /><br />Unless you are the one writing the check, you are not the customer. <b>People who are responsible for their own health care do not have these problems.</b><br /><br />For example, while <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/06/30/sandra-fluke-the-hobby-lobby-case-is-an-attack-on-women/" rel="nofollow">already unhinged radical feminists hyperventilate about the latest "attack on women"</a>, an actual government agency <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/23/us/phoenix-va-deaths-new-allegations/" rel="nofollow">has actually been denying actual health care to actual "entitled" citizens</a>.<br /><br />If a relatively small company like Hobby Lobby can be so onerously oppressive merely by refusing to pay for a couple of methods of birth control, then what hope does anyone have when the government takes over responsibility for everything.<br /><br />The answer is <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/24/us/senator-va-report/" rel="nofollow">that <i>we already know</i></a>.<br /><br />This is why they need Hobby Lobby to be such a distraction. They need to get everyone in a lather because a handful of companies won't be paying for 4-out-of-20 birth control options as an argument for a government takeover of health care while at the same time actual citizens who are already under government care are being left to die.<br /><br />Sorry, but I'm not as amused as I was by this when I started writing anymore.<br /><br />In an honestly "free market", you'd be able to purchase a health plan that would supply any number of birth control and abortifacient options, or not. But that's not what these people want. They want control. Total control.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-90848946731589546492014-07-02T09:33:20.595-05:002014-07-02T09:33:20.595-05:00Well, it's certainly "A Thousand Points ...Well, it's certainly "A Thousand Points of Blight" with this administration. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I just read that 43% of voters now think that Obama is the worst president ever, with GW Bush coming in a paltry second at 33% - even Nixon was rated the worst by only 13%. That's quite a feat, or feet -- but just whom is kicking whom?<br /><br />Strangely, the meme is "women denied healthcare!" and yet, it was merely decided who would pay for it -- not who could get it or use it. To be "denied" is now "you pay for it"? -- weird. Though, as I've pointed out repeatedly, any heterosexual can get all the birth control in the form of condoms, at least, FREE! at any gay establishment, paid for by gay men's donations, and not the government. I'm sure a bucket of them can be placed in the break-rooms at Hobby Lobby. <br /><br />More strangely, somehow Salon, Slate, Huffpost and others have opined that somehow this ruling is good, or bad, depending on the author, for gay men -- um, beats me -- we seem to have cornered the market on 100% effective birth control ... without taxpayer expense nor even insurance coverage required whatsoever -- well, I can't figure out why this bugs some gays, or straights oh so concerned about us, nope.<br /><br />Then too, the Religious Rights law in question came as sort of a package with DOMA/DADT believe it or not -- so that some religions could continue to be free to chastise those who don't adhere to those religions, while still others were denied freedom from state sponsored religious belief or practice -- which is, oddly, any and all laws against gayness in any way - it's purely the establishment of religion, as Justice Scalia made clear in his dissent on why such state infringement on religious belief by gay men should be legal. He's being quoted a lot in all the current cases. So, remember that as all the "No gay couples shall be recognized because our religious beliefs says so" laws fall across the nation. Taxpayers, being denied rights - I hate that, don't you? Anyway, somehow, we're tied up in this, as the fury over Arizona's vetoed "religious freedom" law showed.<br /><br />As for the "Republican War on Women" -- I'm sorry, but they're having a skirmish at least - demanding women take on the heterosexualizing of gay men is just down right unfair to those gals. No one ever seems to think of that angle, for if we all are "repaired" we shall require virgins by the millions - and well, there don't seem to be any -- at least not if all the Flukes of this nation are fluking to the point of requiring insurance coverage for abortifacients and 16 other types of birth control. (And you cannot believe how cranky some folks get after demanding I change that I have heard the word and will now demand to marry their own daughter. Someone else daughter seems to be whom they have in mind. Whose? Beats me. None have been offered.) <br /><br />In any event, it might become true that judges of the future quote Ginsburg's dissent as much as Scalia's in Lawrence is being quoted today.<br /><br />Just goes to show what happens when religion and politics get together, which is why the 1st Amendment tried to stop it. <br /><br />Of course, if the court had struck down ObamaCare in entirety when they had the chance, they wouldn't be knocking down this or that part of it, as the president waives it for others, and still more opt out and/or demanding exemptions. What a monstrosity did that man cause.<br /><br />Well, that's my brief, strange view of this case ... I'm off to Hobby Lobby for some paints -- selling paintings is one of my jobs.

Really? If you say you're against abortion, you are accused of being against women's health? What the f**k is the connection? Hey, moonbat... if you're so damn concerned about your health, maybe you shouldn't screw everything that moves. And what about the health of the child? Oh wait... it's not a child, it's an unwanted tissue mass.... but then again, so is Ginsberg.Colby Muensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910666550508273829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-9747157533190238042014-07-02T08:45:49.691-05:002014-07-02T08:45:49.691-05:00Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg looks like Larry King in DRAG....Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg looks like Larry King in DRAG... what would SHE know about sex?<br />And talking about a "war on women", how about the left's "war on PRE-BORN women" for goodness sakes? There have been more unborn women murdered, (yes, using the legal definition of the word, it's MURDER to plan the death of an unborn person), by the democraps than all other homicidal misogynists combined!<br />And Shrillary being concerned about "slippery slopes"? She could market blue dresses as "Slip-and-Slides" if she were a capitalist!<br />And, CenTexTim;<br />With the 5-4 decision on an issue that a group of 9 MORONS could adjudicate 9-0, it proves that the SCOTUS could more accurately earn the acronym COITUS, (Crappy Old Idiots Taking-out the United States), if lamont gets to appoint any more judicial activists!
