Obama and Congress want this type of medical care for everyone

Further evidence of the superiority of altruistic, government-provided medical care:

At least 1,200 veterans across the country have been mistakenly told by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from Lou Gehrig's disease.

More than 10,000 veterans exposed to possibly infectious bodily fluids while undergoing endoscopic procedures at three VA hospitals in the Southwest.

Stars and Stripes accuses U.S. military of censorship in Iraq - CNN.com

From the story:

CNN has been denied embed requests on occasion but never because of the past conduct of individual journalists.

Indeed. It is difficult to imagine an organization more servile to the regime than CNN.

In Memoriam

January is Military Murders Month.

We've had eight years of putative "conservatives" extolling the glories of war and Empire. Now the avatar of Change(TM) arrives, incessantly invoking Abraham Lincoln while his idolaters summon forth the memory of St. FDR.

Stalin accurately noted that the death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic. Remember, then, the names of these men murdered by Obama's role models:

• Sgt. William Walker (1864). Sgt. Walker was a member of the 3rd South Carolina Volunteers, a "colored" regiment. He was court-martialed and executed at Hilton Head, SC, for leading a mutiny of Black soldiers who refused to fight unless they were given equal pay to White soldiers. Walker was shot in front of the entire company, as an example to others.
• Pvt. Edward Donald "Eddie" Slovik (1945). Eddie Slovik was murdered by the US Government for being a runaway slave. FDR lied and manipulated the US into the Second World War, then conscripted vast numbers of men, including Slovik, to kill and be killed, maim and be maimed, in the service of those lies. Slovik didn't want to kill (he asked for hazardous non-combatant duty, such as medic) so he had to die, as an example to others.

Obama is calling for National Sacrifice(TM): it probably will be human sacrifice, if Obama's heroes are any indication.

Surprise, Surprise!

US won't honor Iraq withdrawal commitment

Remember the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing? 19 American service members died because the US government reneged on its promise to leave Saudi Arabia at the end of the First Gulf War. The Empire's promises to Arabs carry no more weight than it's promises to American Indians did.
