Bill Maher Explains The Fiscal Cliff, Calls For Carbon Tax

This is a record of censorship of left viewpoints expressed as comments on HuffingtonPost.com as responses to articles and other readers views. I may not get my speech freely there, but you can see what they have deleted by coming over here how much censoring that Huffington Post does. Some articles may look liberal over there but the "moderators" are not moderates -- they are hard right radicals who censor out people who disagree with them, skewing the comments and falsifying the public dialog.

“When has she been "ramrodding" the pipeline? She isn't even nominated yet, Ms. Liann, and she will certainly divest if she is. As for Arab ownership and control of oil and supply facilities, the whole oil industry is intertwined and it is hard to single one entity in terms of ownership or control. I agree that the pipeline isn't a good idea, and its potential environmental problems are serious indeed, but let's not blow Ms. Rice out of the water for a passive investment in TransCanada. That's too stringent a standard.”

Oh No You DON'T!
Murder-suicide is considered an anti-social act of great magnitude. Planet Death pushes it up notch.
Science exists and the world's climate scientists have concluded that removing carbon fuels from our energy mix is imperative to planet life.
People investing in ARAB dirty oil projects despoiling American environment are not suitable for any public office whatsoever. She can't even hide behind the flag pretending patriotism -- this oil is not being refined in the midwest but is going to ARAB-controlled export port of New Orleans where Chinese aircraft carriers will soon be patrolling protecting THEIR SUPPLY LINES.
Having the insider information from Arab sources as well as presidential cabinet information sources means that we are not dealing with "APPEARANCE of corruption" -- this is the DEFINITION OF CORRUPTION.

Even with these rains and snows, the midwest is blowing away. See the DROUGHT MONITOR MAP.
The RED STATES stay RED because of the GIFTS TO THE BASE: federal water projects greening Arizona golf course in mid desert, cotton subsidies that go 100% to red states, Farm Crop Insurance subsidized by Blue State city workers, Farm Aid.
The SEQUESTER CLIFF changes all that come January 1. Red States will swing Blue when the RED BASE IS NO LONGER BRIBED using money stolen from Blue States.
Don't need to do a thing but go on vacation until January 3rd.
Sure going to enjoy multi-million dollar pentagon pensions fall off the cliff on January 1.
Can't wait to see 900,000 RED COUNTY BASE VOTERS get unemployed from military contractors two days AFTER Bonewhore cuts the unemployment checks again on December 29th.

I am still waiting for Sarah to make good on her threat to sue the NATIONAL ENQUIRER if they published that report of her adultery with her husband Todd's Snowmobile Business partner while he was out of town tomcatting around. Sarah said she would sue -- the National Enquirer webpage is still posted up there. SUE, Sarah, SUE.
""It's been atrocious, and it's really indicative of a lack of competency and truthfulness, and certainly transparency" on the whole adultery sleeping around loose woman thingy. I'd use some middle class language but Huff-Po bans middle class words heard in bars and bowling alleys and political conventions. You know, that word Lush Ribald called Sandra Fluke?

Insurance is REQUIRED FOR EMPLOYEES. Employee wages pay for it, but businesses cannot dodge the requirement like they have in the past. EMPLOYERS USED TO STIFF THE WORKERS on health insurance, but not anymore. It is wages, just like MINIMUM WAGE is wages. Sure you WANT to pay $1/hour hour but AMERICA won't let you. Sure you want to avoid paying wages as health insurance but AMERICA won't let you. AMERICA HAS MINIMUM STANDARDS THAT ALL BUSINESSES MUST MEET.
Liars who are BUSINESSES pretending to be churches are not fooling anybody. If it is LICENSED as a business, then it is NOT A CHURCH.

The entire anti-healthcare crusade is satanically-based to keep sick people from getting well, perhaps to push them into dying sooner, but never to keep healthy people well. The church thing is satanic deception: these "religious businesses" were giving out healthcare insurance as wage-benefits for years, even decades, which covered birth control of varied assortment. It is NOT to defend any religious principle on birth control.
46,000 people die each year whom are BARRICADED from getting healthcare in time to save their lives. The churches might as well be tossing them off of hospital rooftops to their deaths in mass graves below.
Birth-control is used as a satanic deception to shift the argument, from slaughter of the weak and meek, to morality about loose women who fornicate. Lush Ribald even said as much on his show condemning Sandra Fluke because the more sex she had the more free pills she needed.
Women use those medications to not die from unwanted childbirth because their bodies are worn out from overwork at Walmart and they can't afford to take time out of work to give birth either. Is there NO KINDNESS, NO UNDERSTANDING in the church people today?
6 minutes ago Robert GrifThe wall of separation between church and state is to protect the church from the state and not the state from the church. Do you always yell when speak? Catholic church's and many others don't think they should be forced to pay for your abortion pills. And they are being forced to pay indirectly in their payemnts to the insurance companies. Please stop yelling - it detracts from your ignorance.
1 second ago Ms LiannSatanic LIAR: JOHN 8:44
The STATE is required to be protected from religious tyranny.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!
The history of the extremely EVIL CATHOLIC CHURCH is no secret. It is well know the despicable evil this church has done in EVERY CENTURY right up to now.
The PROTESTORS left the church and many left Europe to get away from CATHOLIC TYRANNY.
The REASON that the current pope has SWISS GUARDS is a reward for them beheading and burning at the stake so many protestors who wanted FREEDOM. Pennsylvania was founded by some who fled the mass murders of the Swiss Catholics. The Pilgrims fled religious tyranny. Rhode Island was founded to escape the religious tyranny of Massachusetts.
There is a WALL OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE that blocks both directions.
1 second ago Ms LiannCatholics for decades gladly paid for birth control in insurance plans in many of the institutions now joined in lawsuit battle against the poor and meek getting healthcare. It is satanic lie to pretend that catholics hate birth control. It is NOT ABOUT PILLS, it's about power.
The church is being used as an instrument of oppression and a political arm of the republican party. It is not about Pills, it's about a black man making healthcare available to people that the rich are exterminating at a rate of 46,000 excess deaths per year due to denial of healthcare access. It's about white power and privilege, that poor people can elect their own president now without deference to bishops or CEOs.

“You still don't understand that EMPLOYEES PAY 100% of their insurance premiums. The "employer contribution", which may be half, still comes as WAGES presented as deferred by the employer and collected with other employee contributions, to pay the policies.
The money once may have been the PRIVATE PROPERTY of the church right up until they became obligated to pay it to the employee as cash wages and deferred wages. It is still 100% wages, no matter what you call it, and it is 100% private property of the employee.
The church or employer is not permitted to dictate what the employee spends their wages on, and in fact normally would never know what they are spent on, since this is 100% private property which was transferred 100% ownership of the wages to the employee.
Even PROVERBS says the WORKMAN IS ENTITLED TO HER WAGES. Now it's time you say it. Peoples wages are NOT YOUR BUSINESS, NOT CHURCH BUSINESS, NOT FREE but earned by sweat off brows.”

Why would anybody say "Ryan knew that this plan was not, in fact, a deficit reduction plan, though he tried to pass it off as one to an embarrassingly credulous media."?
THE REPUBLICANS OWN ALL THE MEDIA. There are no prominent billionaires who are democrats who own functional media companies.
If it serves their interests, they will pretend that there is "unbiased media", or "leftist biased media" but in fact the same pack of fraternity brothers owns everything worth calling "media".
They are not "credulous". They slant the news exactly as the daily staff meetings say the news needs to be slanted. The NIXONIAN Roger Ailes even goes so far as to get "talking points" distributed to every show cast member, not only at Fox News and Fox Business, but to the Fox affiliate TV stations spread around the country.
The CORPORATIST PRESS will never undermine the central themes of the CORPORATIST OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRACY.
Starve the beast to take the federal cops off the beat. Create harassing and stupid laws to get people to hate govt. Torment the poor so they are too busy surviving to pay attention.

Did you know that GEORGE HERBERT WALKER, who put his name on two American presidents, was director of Hamburg-America Shipping lines that directed the ship named after Walker's hometown, the SS St. Louis, to return to Nazi Europe. They made a movie of it "Voyage of the Damned". Walker was a business partner with Fritz Thyssen, the guy who financed the expansion of the Hitler Brownshirt Stormtroopers that overthrew the Wiemar Republic. Walker arranged the deal with Thyssen that put his son-in-law Prescott Bush in charge of Thyssen's Union Banking Company at 39 Broadway across the street from Walker's offices at ONE WALL STREET. The Hamburg-America shipping line imported "tons and tons, worlds without end" of nazi propaganda materials, and took WALL STREET gold bars back to Germany under Adolph Hitler's personal bodyguard watchful eyes who rode on every ship crossing. Wall Street was heavily invested in Hitler's Germany, what would be TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in today's money.
Bush's bank helped book-keep the money and Walker's ships transported it.
Why any Jew would ever vote for any Bush after knowing these things is the eternal mystery.
Hopefully people pass on these facts before Jeb Bush gets up any head of steam of '16.

The elections are OVER. We can now go back to think of the pocket-lining corrupt southern hillbilly state Clintons as crooked self-interested opportunists.
This statement by Hilary obviously means she has a new income stream keeping the cartels profitable.
What is being said is that ONLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE OPTION (That is having a baby and birthing the baby) should be covered and subsidized by all rate-payers in the insurance policy pool. The LEAST COST OPTION (not having a baby, not giving birth) is not allowed to be in the policy pool for choosing by the employee.
Insurance policies are paid by SOMEBODY. That somebody is the usually the person whose name is on the policy. The policy may be paid by WAGES, which the employer has no say-so over, as CASH MONEY is the SOLE PRIVATE PROPERTY OF THE EMPLOYEE, or paid by a combination of WAGES AND BENEFITS.
The BENEFITS are also WAGES in a slightly different form. They are cash wages deferred and devoted to specific incentives for employees to work for the employer. They are still private property of the employee, in exchange for SWEAT OFF OF HER BROW. Wages are not any form of employer property once paid.
In no sense can wages, or wages & benefits, be considered property of the employer. The labors of the employee have been transferred to the employer and the employee receives PRIVATE PROPERTY of wages and benefits transferred to the employee in return. EMPLOYERS cannot dictate how the cash portion can be spent. Employers cannot dictate how the benefits options can be spent either -- it is NOT THEIR PROPERTY.
An insurance policy has a name on it whom is the beneficial owner of the private property.
Employers may be churches in rare circumstances, but if they are engaged in MAMMON, in selling services or products, then they are not churches. MAMMON is not recognized as a dodge to avoid laws that apply to "businesses" whom are organized as "businesses", whom are taxed as "businesses", whom are regulated as "businesses" and whom re licensed under the BUSINESS LAW CODE.
If an entity is licensed as a business under the business law code then it is NOT A CHURCH. It cannot commit a crime of fraud by impersonating a church. All Americans may utilize the business (sit and eat at lunch counters, for example) with discrimination. All citizens can be hired without fear of religious discrimination in hiring. Employers cannot impose their private moral code or religious beliefs on employees.
The anti-discrimination protections which apply to hiring also apply to wages and benefits. Employers cannot pressure employees to follow particular religious beliefs or practices.
There is a CHURCH EXEMPTION to certain laws, but businesses licensed to do business under business laws cannot commit fraud an impersonate churches for the purposes of evading laws prohibiting religious discrimination in hiring.
Requiring the LOWEST COST OPTION of not having a baby with all the pre and post birth medical expenses and 26 years the child could be on the parent's policy is withing govt power.
It is an OPTION of freewill choice. No person is obligated to choose the option. The MAMMON offering the business of insurance is required to offer the option.

In ROE V WADE, the judges had their staffs research abortion laws going back 4,000 years around the world. They could not find any basis in history for strong public interest in abortion over most of that time. They claimed an unsubstantiated "public interest" in the fetus which increases over time, from extremely low public interest in early pregnancy to very high public interest in late pregnancy. However, this so-called "public interest" is fictional without a strong public RESPONSIBILITY of financial support for the life that the public finds so interesting. The Supreme Court was unable to prove even one example where any society in history took upon itself to provide child support and healthcare to late term fetuses or their born results insisted by "public interest".
If the public truly had any interest they would begin by making financial preparations for the new citizen which they insist has a right to be born because of their "interest".
Absent any financial support, it is perfect correct to treat the Supreme Court with Supreme Disrespect for lying about the subject. Students had a right to be bussed to schools to defeat segregation, so the SCOTUS has imposed public spending for public interest in the past. Without any financial support GUARANTEES for a full 18 years, there is no reason to believe liars in black robes that there is any public interest in the matter.

God has some pretty sick and perverted ideas about marriage, most of them ILLEGAL IN THE US FOR MORE THAN 200 years...
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unreasonablefaith/2009/04/the-varieties-of-biblical-marriage/
The Varieties of Biblical Marriage
Polygynous Marriage -- Probably the most common form of marriage in the bible, it is where a man has more than one wife.
Levirate Marriage -- When a woman was widowed without a son, it became the responsibility of the brother-in-law or a close male relative to take her in and impregnate her. See Ruth, and the story of Onan (Gen. 38:6-10).
A man, a woman and her property — a female slave -- Abraham (Gen. 16:1-6) and Jacob (Gen. 30:4-5).
A man, one or more wives, and some concubines -- The definition of a concubine varies from culture to culture, but they tended to be live-in mistresses. To see how badly a concubine could be treated, see the famous story of the Levite and his concubine (Judges 19:1-30).
A male soldier and a female prisoner of war -- Women could be taken as booty from a successful campaign and forced to become wives or concubines. Deuteronomy 21:11-14
A male rapist and his victim -- Deuteronomy 22:28-29 describes how an unmarried woman who had been raped must marry her attacker.
A male and female slave -- A female slave could be married to a male slave without consent.
and of course …
Monogamous, heterosexual marriage.

"Abortion" is a naked power grab by the "Religious Right".
Abortion is LEGAL IN AMERICA. The Constitution defends personal privacy in many ways. No transfer of power in writing ever was conveyed by the SOVEREIGN CITIZENS to the govt on abortion or birth control. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL USURPATION OF POWER for govt to meddle in a woman's PRIVATE PARTS.
People who hate science and evolution suddenly cite "DNA" as giving human rights to a fetal ball with one cell. The 14th Amendment defines citizen rights and they only go to BORN persons. The Religious right gives rights to a fetal ball with one cell by TAKING RIGHTS AWAY FROM A WOMAN WITH WRITTEN 14TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Any govt powerful enough to force motherhood on an unwilling CITIZEN is powerful enough to do the opposite and force abortions on unwilling persons. That sword cuts both ways, and no power was ever given to govt to do EITHER! The PEOPLE OWN THE GOVT, the GOVT DOES NOT OWN PEOPLE.
Religious right lies frequently, calling abortion "MURDER". Murder is a legal term defined by the state. No state defines abortion as murder. It is a lie in violation of JOHN 8:44 and liars are not even christians.

Roe v Wade was about CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY, reserved to the Sovereign Citizens, never transferred in writing to govt.

“Your READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS ARE DEFICIENT.
Words have meanings. Authority is not a synonym for power.
Govt AUTHORITY flows from the people, from the "Consent of the governed".
First there is NO GOVT, therefore no govt power.
Then the people decide to make govt, and transfer THEIR POWER to the govt. The govt has no powers EXCEPT those granted. Sometimes there are "implied powers" required to do what the explicit powers do. Implied powers are not written, but they are closely joined to WRITTEN EXPLICIT POWERS.
No TRANSFER OF POWER to regulate abortion was EVER GRANTED. It must be written: there are no "SECRET LAWS" in America. It never happened, so the power never existed. It can be usurped, and the Supreme Court drove back govt in Roe V Wade, but not far enough.
Govt hates giving up powers once usurped. The Supreme Court could have been bolder and pushed YOU out of MY UNDERPANTS once and for all.
