Ever realize how much taxpayer money is dumped into the already inflated NFL coffers? Not a fan of the NFL and yet you pay taxes for it! A lot of taxes! Mad yet?
Cant fund programs for the poor? Cant help the disabled? Cant treat and cure disease? BUT WE PAY THIS MUCH FOR THE NFL?!?!?!
Mad yet?

The Way We Were…
Let’s see where we are now…. A whole new congress under new republican power.
Let us now review where we were 6 years ago (2008) (according to Independent Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders):
- Healthcare only for the rich
- Two wars going on (losing combat troops every week).
- More people living in poverty than anytime in American history.
- More wealth inequality.
- Financial system on verge of collapse.
- Losing 700,000 jobs a month
- 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit (the largest in history).
What the new republican congress will do:
- Go after social security (privatize).
- Go after Medicare (de-fund).
- Major cuts in federal education aid.
- Major cuts in nutrition aid.
- Major cuts in environmental protection.
- Huge tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations.
What a wonderful world to look forward to. Go ahead, ask me why I shorten my life by smoking!
Life Lesson #5472-Never Email When Angry
I did something today that I think will burn me. I came out to Emily’s Government teacher. Or almost. At this point, I probably should not give a shit anymore…but its hard for me not to.
I am involved with this lawsuit:
I chose to remain silent to protect my family and also because I am the only plaintiff that has a child in the public school system here… But part of my reasoning for joining the suit was the encroachment of one type of religious belief onto our school system when these Commissioners starting under funding or cutting environmental and science programs out of the public school budget, all while setting up $500,000 slush funds for people who CHOSE to send their children to parochial or home school them. Two of the Commissioners can take part in milking this fund because they elected not to send their children to public school.
I blogged about it with my “County Destroyer” post a while back, but I took the post down so defense’s council could not throw it back in my face cause they tried to do that with another plaintiff in the case. Yeah. Freedom of Speech only applies to those that agree with you…
Long and short end of it: We won. SC ruled. Federal Judge dismissed order. We refiled suit citing differences between cases and why elected officials are not invited unpaid clergy. Judgment still pending…
I received this link from one of the plaintiffs and it made me livid.
A Student’s Letter to Commissioner Frazier.
This student goes to the same high school as my daughter. No one at Liberty knows her mother is a plaintiff in the lawsuit-not even the Government teacher, who commented about our case in class this semester. Notice Mrs. Frazier’s passive/aggressive insult to the public school system. Why? Because teachers are not teaching this:
The American View US Constitutional Course
Whose views have been shaped by these people:
Just ignore that we are also a hate group.
This made my blood boil, and I made the mistake of sending an email to my daughter’s Government teacher at Liberty today, with the link to Mrs Frazier’s blog about the letter to her from the student, along with the links I have posted above. I told him I was proud that my child had taken his course, and the fellow student who wrote the letter was in the public school system and was not afraid to stand up to tyranny or practice his civil duty. I also did tell him that more people needed to know the truth about where these ideas are coming from and hopefully there will be a change in the next election. But if it swings in the favor of these people, and similar ones who want to take what little rational representation we have away, then I’ve already supplied him with the link to the re-education learning course.
I did not go into as to why we as the 3rd highest taxed county in the State of Maryland, with a median income of $80,000 per year, are having budget issues with our public school system… Nor did I even mention religion.
I suppose I can skirt the issue by saying it is “Lauren” who is the malcontent atheist, and not Denise is just Emily’s mom. LOL. Truth is, I am tore up that I may hurt my daughter in some way. How can I trust that this teacher is not having to suppress his white pride Constitutional views as well?
Emily has this week left of school and then she never has to step in the Government trailer for class again. Why did I not just think of that before I hit send. Fuck. Oh well. Let it not be said that I never tried to stand up for something.
I just have to learn to not let these things upset me as much…perhaps a crayon shoved up the nose would work? I have to remember, that this county is in fact Thunderdome.
America: Dumb and Dumber and Dumbest
ACA (Obamacare) Shenanigans!
A “good morning” email from Kathleen Sebelius, the head of Health and Human Services this morning (April 2, 2014). It almost seems like an April fool’s joke:
Dear Colleagues:
Over these last four years, you have been working hard to implement the Affordable Care Act, so that millions of Americans and their families can have new rights, protections, and opportunities to obtain quality, affordable health coverage.
Today, as we mark the end of the first open enrollment period for the Health Insurance Marketplace, I want to thank you for the progress we’ve made, together.
More than 7 million Americans enrolled by last night’s deadline, and once state numbers and all of the still working through the federal website are counted, this figure will be higher. Of course, this is on top of the millions of Americans who gained coverage through Medicaid and CHIP, the more than 3 million young adults who have health insurance because the law allows them to stay on their parents’ plan until their 26th birthday, and the millions of Americans who no longer face discrimination because of their gender or health status.
Yesterday alone, more than 4.8 million people visited HealthCare.gov and more than 2 million people called the CMS call centers. Hundreds of thousands attended enrollment events throughout the country over the final weekend. And, an amazing team of workers answered phones, kept the site running with unprecedented traffic, organized events and helped people sign up for insurance.
I know that this law has been at the center of much debate and discourse in Washington, but what this enrollment demonstrates is that the Affordable Care Act is working and much needed. That’s because behind each of these numbers are hardworking Americans who finally have the peace of mind that comes with quality health insurance; families who are saved from financial ruin; young people who’ve been given the freedom to pursue their dreams without fear; and the millions of families who never thought they would ever have this opportunity in their lifetime. That’s what this law is all about.
None of these historic achievements would have been possible without your tireless efforts, your unshakable commitment to public service, and your compassion for the people our Department aims to serve.
Our work is far from over. But I hope you will take a moment to pause and celebrate – be proud of the difference you are making in the lives of your fellow Americans. Very few people get to do work that matters this much. I am extremely honored to work with such a devoted and talented group of individuals and to share this special day with all of you.
Congratulations and Cheers, Kathleen Sebelius
And now my response, which is THE REALITY of the ACA:
And we’d like to thank everyone for taking part in selling the majority of our nation’s workers to the corrupt, poorly managed, behemoth known as Blue Cross. I’m sure, in time, you will all bow at the altar of the people who are already entirely too rich, and now have your very lives in their hands. Thank you all for supporting the drive to not only pervert capitalism, but put in place possibly the most corruptible form of a caste system ever known in the history of the world.
