• UC Davis Launching Probe After Pepper Spray Video

  November 20, 2011 at 10:58am

  In reply to CharlieSheen.

  Did not comply with officers? Just because they are wearing uniforms does not mean that common people have to obey every word they say. An officer says he wants to search my home, I tell him to show me a warrant or go to h3ll. An offer tells me to stop talking because he does not agree with me, I smile at him and keep doing what I am doing. Do you think I will simply obey when an officer tells me to kiss his boots, not own a gun, give him my wife for a night?

  As a Tea Partier, I am ashamed of my fellow Blazers. You are saying it is okay for people to coerce each other as long as it is done behind the shield of the government. You are also saying it is okay to trample the rights of people you do not agree with.

  P.S. Video was a staged. No one would continue to sit calmly “linked in solidarity” with a face-full of pepper spray.

• Police Pepper Spray Seated Occupy Protesters at UC Davis

  In reply to BrerRabbit.

  I am losing faith in my fellow Blazers. WTF is wrong with yall? These students were only guilty of being complete morons. The police had no right to do this to them. Pepper spray a peaceful protest? Next they will be spraying a Tea Party rally because the police “feel en-circled”.

  Please listen to yourselves. Ignoring the Constitution is never justifiable, even if it is to beat up some stupid hippies who are protesting themselves.

• Feds Revoke Approval of Life-Prolonging Treatment for Breast Cancer, Insurers Could Bail on Patients

  And by liberal I mean Progessive.

  Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”
  If you know both yourself and your enemy, you will will 100% of the time.
  If you know one but not the other, you will win 50% of the time.
  If you know neither, you will win 0% of the time.

  I suggest to not just dismiss these animals, but also to understand their ways of thinking. Only way to defeat them.

  Q: if you could cure all the world’s diseases by killing a single innocent child, could you kill that child?

  A. Are you kidding? I would kill all terminable cancer patients not to cure all diseases, but just to decrease the average person’s health insurance premiums by 96 cents per year. It is all for the greater good.

  Let us look at this from a numbers perspective:
  Each year, 40,000 are diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
  Prognosis is about 5 years.
  That means that at any given time, there are about 200,000 terminal patients.
  Median household income is $31,000.
  If a terminal cancer patient were to work at half pace for half their remaining years, they would add $8k to GDP per person per year, a total of $1.6 billion per year; $8 billion over 5 year life.
  Non-patients starting work on average at age 20, works, pays taxes, and pays for insurance for 45 years a 1:9 “living ratio” to patients.
  LEAP IN MATH: So as long as non-patients save at least $2.96 in insurance premiums per year, we are financially justified in letting patients die.

  That was a fun exercise of liberal thought. The mathematically-back rationale behind sacrificing human souls for the “general welfare”.

• Rick Perry to O’Reilly: Obama ‘Absolutely’ is a Socialist

  In reply to LiberalMarine.

  Maybe if I wear camo to a hippie jam fest I can call myself a marine too.

  Not going to try it. Don’t want to catch TB. And I do not believe that money or soap are the roots of all evil.

  Sad that they do this because it is “financially justifiable” (check out The Rainmaker). Obama admin sacrificing people to trim the overall host of health insurance. Q & A:

• Market Recap: Stocks Struggled as Occupy Tried to Shut Down Wall Street

  November 17, 2011 at 8:43pm

  These days, the market moving 130 is relatively low. Back when we got downgraded it was moving 400 per day for a month and a half.

  Made a lot of money back then.

  Judging from the beginning of this article, the writer knows absolutely nothing about the market. Oil and gold ARE commodities. And what he quotes as “NYSE: USE, GLD, SLV” are not. He gives quotes for the spot prices of the commodities, not for the USE, GLD and SLV ETFs.

  I love TheBlaze, but please correct this. You take legitimacy away from an awesome website when you write incorrect stuff like this.

• Neil Cavuto & Liberal Congresswoman Have Must-Watch Smack Down Deficit Debate

  In reply to S G Applebee.

  @JVS

  You asked some questions, I will give you some answers (based on my Ivy League economics knowledge)

  First, let us look at the Bush tax cuts. The Bush tax cuts actually increased tax revenue. Do some research into what is called the Laffer Curve. This curve related the tax revenue to the tax rate, and gives reasons as well.

  Second, why does cutting taxes to the rich increase jobs? I will answer your question with another question: when was the last time a person was EVER hired by someone less rich than themselves? If you give a 10% tax break to Donald Trump, he will open a new hotel, which will employ many laborers to build the building, laborers to produce the materials, and people to actually work in the hotel. Also if you increase taxes on a company like GE, the company budget decreases which means that the money to hire labor decreases, which means that workers will either be paid less or laid off.

  And third, research economics to find a truly efficient industry where the EXACT demand is matched by the EXACT supply. It just plainly cannot happen.
