when i was a kid and saw one flew over the cuckoo's nest, i didn't realize it would be a metaphor for america's last days.
if you never saw it -- a sharp, free-wheeling anti-authoritarian populist named randle mcmurphy is falsely committed to a mental hospital, causes too much trouble calling out the system for its corruption, tries in vain to get everyone to bridge their silence and have fun together.
then he's lobotomized by "the state" and smothered by his best friend -- who couldn't stand to see what they did to him.
what good is money if we all lose our souls?
what good is friendship if the moment we broach meaningful issues, about fairness and community, the discussion gets too political and has to stop?
hat's off to a country that was pretty amazing while it lasted.
y'all do your best to break free.

what's with the utter lack of customer service at virtually every cryptocurrency exchange?
some have been in business for many years, and the web is littered with users who got locked out of their accounts, with huge sums of money suddenly out of reach, for no reason.
my issues have been minor in comparison, but it's still ridiculous to be waiting months for help.
where are the regulators?!
What the hell? Ihub is trying to run 206 ad and tracking scripts on their pages. No wonder it is driving my computer to it knees.
Get a grip ihub......this is just abusive.
My complaint is about truck prices. What we have developed here is a move to the family truck. 4 doors and 5 ft beds are great for people with few needs for hauling much more than weekend camping gear and that shiny new bicycle for Dick and Jane.
The demand for this type of transportation is because dad has to get more involved with getting the kids home from soccer practice, but he needs to get his bucket of tools and the grill back from Joe's house.
A person can buy a really nice 3 yr old car cheaper than a 5 yr old truck that has 150k miles on it. It's a sad reality, but a truck is a truck, until it's not.
Disturbing...

The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.
However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, in direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However , that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea.
This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Agree everyone here in PA can't stand him I dont know who all these supporters are? It seems the american people are starting to realize the complete cluster fook obama care is.
"Mr. President, I rise today to talk about America's debt problem. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
***Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increase by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is "trillion" with a "T."*** That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President's budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter.
Rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America's priorities.
The Senate continues to reject a return to the commonsense Pay-go rules that used to apply. ***Previously, Pay-go rules applied both to increases in mandatory spending and to tax cuts. The Senate had to abide by the commonsense budgeting principle of balancing expenses and revenues.***
Unfortunately, the principle was abandoned, and now the demands of budget discipline apply only to spending. As a result, tax breaks have not been paid for by reductions in Federal spending, and ***thus the only way to pay for them has been to increase our deficit to historically high levels and borrow more and more money.***
Now we have to pay for those tax breaks plus the cost of borrowing for them. Instead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next 5 years.
***That is why I will once again cosponsor the Pay-go amendment*** and continue to hope that my colleagues will return to a smart rule that has worked in the past and can work again.
Our debt also matters internationally. ***My friend, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, likes to remind us that it took 42 Presidents 224 years to run up only $1 trillion of foreign-held debt. This administration did more than that in just 5 years.***
Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. ***Leadership means that "the buck stops here.'' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit."***
Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)

***Official National Debt at that time: 8.6 trillion USD***
***Official National Debt Now: 17.1 trillion USD***
