Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


1. Get a sense of humor. Most liberal profs and student activists are a screeching, nerve grating, nasally bunch of whiners. As a matter of fact, I’d rather watch Janet Reno do jumping jacks and hack squats in Borat’s thong than listen to the hemp clothed, goatee bearing, chunky liberal bleat.

Therefore, conservative student, when you queue up to address your crowd, be pleasant, poke fun at yourself, remove the whine from your voice and use honed humor to humiliate the left. Getting folks to laugh at your opponents and not being rabid about taking yourself so seriously helps get your point across. To upgrade your general funniness, get Judy Carter’s book, Stand Up Comedy.

2. Get creative. God bless technology. Conservative rebels, you have at your fingertips the wherewithal to go creatively crazy for the cause of God and country with the real possibility of a stack of people seeing and hearing what you have got to offer.

Therefore, get nutty with your stuff. Utilize these amazing techno tools to tackle the tools on the left. Take your gift, your talent, your voice and your God-wired weirdness and, every now and then, put something artistic out there that’ll overtly or covertly slam dance the secularists who seek to sabotage our society. To upgrade your competitive creativity get Chasing Cool by Noah Kerner and Gene Pressman.

3. Get tough. One thing that drives me nuts about some Sally’s on the right is their bemoaning how they get attacked when they go public in the classroom with their sentiments. Whaa! What did you think the Ward Churchill’s were going to do, clap? Buy you candy? Wash your undercarriage? Look, not-so-sharp-holder-of-traditional-values, we’re in a very real culture war. The _ _ _ _ will hit the fan when you counter the liberal crud in the classroom. Embrace it. Suck it up. Get tough. Let adversity be your Wheaties, the breakfast of champions! If you want to upgrade your resiliency, get my book, The Bulldog Attitude: Get It or Get Left Behind.

4. Get prayerful. Most folks on the ludicrous left who embrace what 21st century Dhimmocrats currently spew are admitted atheists. Seeing that they don’t believe in the God who is, I’m a guessin’ they are probably not down the funnel with the discipline of prayer. That is, until they’re about to die. Then, of course, they start praying like Chris Tucker freshly filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. Since they refuse to believe and pray to God, they have no supernatural help in their hapless cause. At least no positive supernatural help, because we all know demons love to assist these guys. But I digress. . .

. The traditionalist (usually) believes in the God of the scripture . . . the God who’s got a will and way that He’d like to see implemented on the planet. This is cool; however, God follower, take it to the next level and start praying with faith and oomph for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven (this includes your campus).

So . . . God-fearing traditionalist, ask God for a) crazy clout to change yourself so that you’re not a waste-oid He’s got to work around and b) for a dynamic enabling to effect constructive change on your campus and culture. To upgrade your prayer life, get E. M. Bounds’ classic, Power Through Prayer.

5. Get rebellious. When rebels see what “everyone else is doing,” they usually shoot it the finger and do the opposite. They know that more than likely there must be something fundamentally wrong with “it” if everyone thinks it is mondo jovial. Especially if many of the adherents of the en masse mantra put the funk in dysfunction.

At today’s universities, college student, you will be a radical if you don’t lock step to the secularization, slutification and wussification that these institutions and their devotees try to cram up your and America’s backside. So, put on your leather jacket, grab a nice cigar, climb on your Von Dutch and tell these God-, country-, goodness- and common sense-haters to get bent. Go against the grain. Stand alone if you have to. To upgrade your rebel yell, read Rosa Parks: My Story, by Rosa Parks, listen to some Godsmack and stand tall.

6. Get informed. Conservative contrarians, you’ve got to get the following books and read them:

a. The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History,

b. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design,

c. The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature,

d. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism ,

e. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades),

f. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science, Continued...

Gestell made the point, didn't he?
--
All of the ostensibly beneficial things that he praises government for screwing with - unasked by the participants in all mentioned transactions, and against the reasoned desires of the informed individuals upon whom such "blessings" are conferred - are perfect examples of the economic dislocations, inefficiencies, and debilitations imposed by the intrusion of government into areas where its presence is not only unnecessary but perfectly pernicious.

The 2,000-character limit imposed upon these posts makes it impossible to refute your simple-minded superficiality with the detailed debridement such intellectual necrosis requires, but you can't be convinced by right reason and sound argument, and other readers - the ones with sense - know enough to find sound voices in political economics. Dr. Sowell and Dr. Williams offer good starting points, and their works are freely available.

But I can offer one correction. Dad was drafted into the Navy during World War II. His brother was the one who got pulled back into the Army for Korea.

Considering that he volunteered himself into the Submarine Service after completing diesel school, I'd say that whatever use he chose to make of his G.I. benefits was nothing more than the ghost of a shadow of whatever haardous duty compensation he'd earned.

Most of those 52 boats that didn't come back went down with all hands. Not even the bomber crews who flew over Nazi Germany had KIA rates quite that high.

Don't look now, but you are living your life surrounded by actions of government. Such as:
1. That money you have on deposit in the local bank is insured by the FDIC
2. That transaction you just made to sell 100 shares of WarCorp Inc took place in a highly regulated environment. to try at least to reduce the possibility that your broker would cheat you.
3. The antihypertensive you took before bedtime came to you through a process in which government made at least some effort to make sure the thing wouldn't kill you.
4. When you sign that contract with the company that puts vending machines in your office, a whole fabric of law covers what you and the other guy can and cannot do legally.
5. Your father took advantage of the GI Bill when he got back from Korea, thus becoming a recipient of money taken from the paychecks of others (i.e., he was a welfare recipient).
6. You gripe at all the paperwork that it takes to keep Aunt Matilda on Medicare, but you're sure glad you don't have to pop for the cost of all her surgeries.
7. Even though you hate the federal government with all your heart, you're not about to turn down that Social Security check, now are you?
