American Ace Takes on Half the Luftwaffe

radx says...

If you're near London, I suggest you hit the Imperial War Museum. They used to have the rudder of a Bf 110 on display the last time I was there (maybe 2004), don't know if they still do. It's not just any Bf 110 though, it's the plane of Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer with all the kills marked on it: 164 night sorties, at least 114 four-engined bombers destroyed (Halifax, Wellington, Stirling, Lancaster). On 02/21/45, between 20:44 and 21:03, he shot down 7 Lancasters.

Just to illustrate that at night, even the cumbersome Bf 110, He 219 and Ju 88 could slice through bomber squads like cheese. It's a good thing that neither Messerschmitt nor Focke-Wulff nor Henschel could build a proper two-engined fighter like the Mossie or P38 or else the losses would have been even more horrible than they were already.

Meghan McCain: No one but the McCains Know What War is Like

>> ^rougy:
Let's not criticize Mrs. McCain's wealth and family ties.
That's just for Democrats like Teresa Heinz-Kerry.


Who?

That's 4 years ago, when being a war hero in Vietnam was a bad thing.

I agree with you completely on this. However you've failed to consider the full range of interventions that may be necessary to protect individual rights.
1. Would you say you have a right to not starve to death on the street according to the whims of a few local employers?


I don't understand what you're implying here. Is this person capable of working, why wouldn't someone hire him unless some socialist policy destroyed the economy? Remember when the Federal Reserve sat on the inflow of gold in the thirties and caused a hyperdeflationary depression where money stopped getting loaned out, therefore people couldn't get paid and businesses which relied on the inflated credit of the 20s all went belly up? You wouldn't, would you, because you're just a sheep with no actual understanding of the driving forces of poverty. Do you realize that charity was at it's highest when there was no income tax and gold backed money? See, there's nothing wrong with helping someone voluntarily. There is something wrong with you believing that I or anyone else is OBLIGATED to give up their wealth to this person just because he is starving. And why would anyone work if we're all entitled to each other's production? You must also believe that he is morally within his rights to steal from the grocery store if he's "helpless" like you say. It's the same thing when you legislate redistribution of wealth schemes. You need to get off your Marxist boat already.

2. Would you say you have a right to know what is in food that you buy? 3. Would you say you have a right to know how much electricity will be used by an appliance that you buy?


In most cases, if the consumer demands it, the consumer gets it. Because how do companies make money? By reaching out to demand in the market. But I don't really have a problem with information gathering, even though it could easily be done by independent consumer groups.


5. Would you say that when you are trying to buy an essential product, which is not a very new invention, you have the right to choose between two or more competitors instead of paying an extortionary price to a monopoly?

Monopolies are not self-sustaining unless the enablements exist within government for companies to collude with and benefit from government specific powers. Remember, the government is the largest and most powerful monopoly of all. They can do things a private company can only DREAM of doing: force payment (tax), create new money (inflate), and ban competing products.

6. Would you say you have the right to pay a competitive market price for any good, which is not inflated by conspiracy of the suppliers of that good (OPEC, for example)

You are getting a competitive price, tinfoil man. The dollar is being crushed by socialist policies and foreign currencies are gaining relative to it by definition. That increases their buying power in this international bidding contest for a finite resource. So sorry it's become unpleasant for you, but maybe you also shouldn't have supported blocking domestic drilling and nuclear power for thirty years. Kinda hard to reduce prices when you intentionally decrease supply and competition. You want the energy, you just refuse to allow anyone to make it in your backyard. So suffer the consequences and ride your bike and stop whining like an entitlement freak. There are people in Africa who would kill to drive around in a car all day.

Would you say certain proactive regulations are necessary to prevent the creation of monopolies, such as prohibition against exclusive supply contracts, where for example a computer vendor who wants to sell Microsoft Windows computers won't have to sign a contract with Microsoft promising to never sell any Linux computers.

Exclusive contracts are made all the time. Bidding contests are real competition. McDonald's contracted with Heinz for ketchup and mustard supplies. The Olympics only accepts Visa credit cards. If an OEM contracts with someone exclusively, they have to gauge if that payout is going to be worth the loss to competitor's offering the supposedly superior product which will inevitably be used by other OEMs. It's not like Microsoft can put poop in a box and stay a monopoly, they STILL have to deliver or it opens a window for competition.

Clearly, you are locked in to the corporate blame game that marxists play to gain power. The only thing you need to worry about is removing the collusive enablements that allow private companies to gain unfair advantages over their competition through bribery: subsidies, special tax breaks, inflation, and banned choice under the pretense of protecting you.

jwray... i am with you .. i also think that there are many things that "the market" cannot solve, especially education.

Education is a service like any other, in which case the optimal result will be from consumers spending their own money, not politicians dishing it out to government teachers. This is a terribly uninvolved system where the parents just expect the best and do no research, it's all "provided" for you. Education has become daycare. We used to be first in the world before the Department of Education was created. Now we're not, though. Any department has to be fed with money that otherwise would have gone to the people themselves. The funny thing is that even if you support some kind of socialized education, libertarians have proposed a voucher system where the money is going to parents to make choices instead of to the providers directly. The latter strategy is what we currently do and it's the equivalent of giving food stamps to the grocery stores.

Cindy McCain Refuses to Release Her Tax Returns... Ever

Trancecoach says...

From Crooks & Liars: I’ll tell you a little secret: at first blush, I’m not inclined to care. The McCains have more money than some countries, they haven’t been accused of any financial improprieties, and while it’s interesting when a guy like McCain opposes minimum-wage increases while flying around on his wife’s private jet, I’m not exactly itching to go through Cindy McCain’s tax returns. In fact, I’m not surprised that someone of her wealth would want to keep her returns free of scrutiny.

But this is absolutely relevant in this presidential campaign for a few reasons.

First, John McCain, for all of his talk about the importance of transparency and disclosure, has gone out of his way to ensure that all of his assets are in his wife’s name. And as Kevin recently noted, “There’s only one reason for a politician to make sure that all his assets are in his wife’s name: it’s to make sure that no one knows anything about his assets. It’s not as if McCain is the first pol to try this, after all. Is the press really going to let him get away with this?”

Which leads us to the second reason this matters: McCain has always relied on his wife’s wealth, and has always “mixed business and politics.” If the point of releasing tax returns is to offer voters a chance to get a better sense of the candidate, then it’s incumbent on the McCains to stop acting like they have something to hide.

And third, there’s just the shameless hypocrisy of it all. In 2004, the Republican National Committee spent quite a bit of time and energy demanding that the Kerry campaign release Teresa Heinz Kerry’s tax returns. The candidate’s wife resisted, but after pressure from the GOP and the media, she eventually gave in and made the materials publicly available.

The situation is exactly the same. John Kerry made less money than his wife, who inherited most of her fortune. McCain is practically broke, and relies on his wife’s millions, which were also inherited.

In other words, if we hold the McCains to the standards set by the Republican Party, they owe the public some additional information. The press hounded the Kerrys on this; we’ll see if the media chooses to give the McCains equal treatment. I’m not optimistic.

Along with Heinz trying desperately to get vid's on the sift this one looks suspicious because of the overly viral YT poster and the scripted description. Also there are no tags, that is usually a sign of a drive by and the poster joined today. I'm confident that I can call to *Banish him.
