What happens when the white guys are back in charge
CNN ^ | 05/05/2017 | Jill Filipovic

Another day, another team photo of the GOP celebrating together in a white-male photo shoot, as they prepare to strip away rights of women and protections for the most vulnerable. And another blunt reminder of why 1. political representation matters, and 2. few women in the room means the concerns of women get left out.

This time around, the man party was in celebration of House Republicans pushing through a health care bill they threw together in an effort to save face, without bothering to allow the Congressional Budget Office to fully evaluate its costs and impact and lay them before the American people -- much less the legislative body, some of whom admit not reading the bill.

I thought this was going to be an article about Bernie Sanders and the abject failure of single payer healthcare in Vermont.

Can someone point me to an instance where a CBO estimate proved to be accurate?

Things get back to normal? Is this a trick question?

It isn’t the federal’s job to take care of people. It’s their job to obey the Law that created it and only do what it expressly permits it to do.

Nothing else.

Even if that meant people were literally starving in the streets for want of a federal program them so be it!

And yet they hate all black and women conservatives...
They are all about identity politics. Competency doesn’t matter and anyone who opposes their agenda is bad.

Racist and sexist in a single headline. Plus there are at least 4 women in the group. Isn’t it sexist to ignore them?

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor
If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.
Every family will save about $2,500 in insurance costs.
The cost curve for health care will be bent down.
The economy will improve as health care becomes more affordable . . .

I wonder what they would think of a factual comparison between Apartheid South Africa, and today's South Africa... twice the violent crime, six times the rape, half of the economy, and just as much open racism. (SA's President is openly calling for white farms to be forcefully redistributed to blacks, just like Zimbabwe did in their efforts to starve themselves and set records for the worst inflation in human history.)

I've actually posed this very question to a few liberals in the last week, and they uniformly prefer pro-black racism over pro-white racism, no matter the human and economic toll... surprising nobody, I guess.

It’s about socialism (communism) vs freedom.

And what, at the heart is what motivates these isms against freedom? Whittaker Chambers writes that their power . .

. . . is the power to hold convictions and act upon them. It is the same power that moves mountains; it is also that part of mankind which has recovered the power to live or die – to bear witness – for its faith. And it is a simple, rational faith that inspires men to live or die for it.

It is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different version of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
