Tuesday Pile of Prep

Mandeville, LA  – Mike Church’s daily Pile of Prep, chock full of the latest outrages generated by our all knowing, benvolent SpyFare friends at the NSA with Mike’s historical viewpoint to help make sense of it all plus other [r]epublican stories used to perform the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM Patriot channel 125. “But civilization, including a civilized market place, depends, as Wilhelm Röpke has observed, on moral, imaginative and intellectual preferences that do not arise spontaneously from the economy as such.[3] The priorities set by businessmen and financiers in their economic activities are not ordinarily prescribed by the good, the true and the beautiful. Too many conservatives with libertarian leanings underestimate the extent to which purely economic considerations need to be subordinated to other motives and the extent to which institutions and individual gate-keepers must help foster moral restraints, good taste and respect for truth.” – Claes Ryn on the state of Intellectual Conservatism

So much for the whole “if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it” as the sheople find out just how vicious the lies of the über state are in promoting its corporatism. So now you see WHY insurers went along with the scheme

But don’t worry, write “bloggers” at CNN, everyone just wants everyone to have the best “health care” other people’s money can buy and if we just invested enough, 1/2 a BILLION, in advertising the new scheme, why, it would be as right as rain. N.B. and just WHOM will receive the benefits of that 1/2 BILLION $ bonanza in advertising?

TIC – It HAS to be accepted that a “conservatism” that accepts the political order as the highest priority in life is no conservatism at all. That obsessing over “free market capitalism” and business as integral part of a conservative tradition is dangerous and non-productive

So our Dear Leader WAS lying when he said “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it!” as NBC’s Lisa Meyers busts the story taken from the bowels of the archives at the White House

Federal judge inserts his influence where it does not belong, striking down part of the TX Legislature’s recent act to reign in abortions in the state. There is NO “constitutional right” to an abortion and if the 14th Amendment is to be taken literally, a soon to be born baby has the same expectation of “rights” including “life” as a newly emancipated slave did in 1865

The outrage of the latest SpyGate revelations that the U.S. spies on its allies is clear-we will use this info to extort and blackmail those “allies” who we spy on and the press is covering for this, claiming “…why, everyone does it!” If that’s the case then what would be our reaction if the Brits began leaking the personal peccadilloes of our political class

VIDEO: NSA Director stars in propaganda film promoting…you guessed it, the NSA and its inherent goodness

Glenn Greenwald: The entire planet knows that the U.S. is spying on every living subject and its not to “prevent terrorism”, it is to provide the U.S. government with the means of extorting the rest of the world

Folks you just can’t make this stuff up. The historical stupidity of all too many people with internet connections is shocking and manifests itself whenever the subject of the “Confederate flag” comes up. This writer accuses the invaded Southern States of “slaughtering” 110,000 U.S. soldiers, as if the “slaughter” of 3 times that number of Confederate soldiers if some glorious achievement

Buchanan: Why non-stop spying on your allies and friends is NOT good business and indicates that “the normal life of countries” is never coming back to the U.S.

After decades of denial and irresponsible buildup of “the nation’s highway” system, the money grubbers in government now embrace the idea that we should all pay for the roads we ACTUALLY use and not ALL the roads

The NFL comes under fire for its tax exempt status which eliminates taxes on the LEAGUE OFFICE not the teams themselves. Still, the tax code is demonstrated yet again to confer benefits on those who can pay for them

The first tragedy of the SpyFare state: the Truth which in this instance means the freedom of the press to attempt to find it
