Hypocrite Greg, and rollout problems.

From the do as I say but not as I do department comes a Tea Party politician from out West.

The thing you have to understand about wingnuts is that they are very hypocritical. For instance, they will get up on their soap box and scream at the top of their lungs about those "blah" people in urban areas living off of the government, and yet......

''Greg Collett happily calls his political views 'extreme.' But he wasn't prepared for condemnation from his allies after word that all his home-schooled children are on Medicaid became an Internet sensation.

Collett, twice a candidate for the Idaho Legislature in Canyon County, isn't surprised he's been excoriated on left-wing websites including Gawker, BuzzFlash, Daily Kos and Americans Against the Tea Party.

But he's also heard criticism from those who share his anti-government views for having taxpayers foot medical bills for eight adopted and two biological children, ages 4 to 17.

In contrast, Collett and his wife, Kelly, say they will pay the fine rather than buy insurance for themselves under the Affordable Care Act.
   
I attracted all the attention of all the people who hate Republicans and the tea party, said Collett, a 41-year-old freelance software developer and University of Idaho alum. 'I've also attracted the attention of a lot of people in the liberty movement that don't want to see anybody on welfare.'

Things got so bad, Collett said, he had to clean up his Facebook account and remove contact information from his campaign website. "The level of hatred is just absolutely incredible," he said. "Messages on my website, emails, I've even had phone calls. It's been pretty intense."

Online comments have labeled Collett a hypocrite, moron, mentally unstable, immoral and unethical, along with frequently profane epithets. "He should have been sterilized years ago," said one.


Actually, fertility plays a role in the Colletts' story. For five years, they were foster parents. Both underwent fertility treatments. In the same year they adopted five children, they had their first biological child. Three more adoptions followed, then their youngest was born four years ago.

'In our case, we wanted a large family to make us complete,' Kelly Collett told the Statesman in 2009. Seven of the eight adopted children were in foster care: four from a Midwestern state, three from a Southern state. The eighth was a private adoption through LDS Family Services. Three of the eight are Hispanic and some are siblings. The Colletts are white.

Ronalee Linsenmann, of Caldwell, knows Collett from the 2012 campaign, when both were challenging incumbents and the Collett kids were helping their dad.
'His children were the most respectful, well-behaved children you could ever be around," she said. "They obviously have a very, very loving family.'

Collett, who is preparing to run for the Legislature again, wound up in the news because he was one of 1,503 people who answered a Kaiser/NBC poll in September about attitudes about the Affordable Care Act. He told the surveyor he'd be willing to talk to a reporter.

He was the first person quoted in an Oct. 4 NBC story, 'Health care holdouts: uninsured but resisting.' Collett acknowledged the controversial nature of his views. 'There are a lot of people out there that'll cry foul,' he said.

The story was republished on many websites. The next day, Collett posted a 2,900-word response on his campaign site.

'For those of you who insist that I take the kids off of Medicaid, please feel free to get them off by terminating the entire program,' he wrote.

Gawker revived the story on Wednesday. The online community Reddit picked up a Statesman story Thursday, helping drive more than 24,000 hits. Between Tuesday and Thursday, Collett said, 6,000 people clicked on his essay.
'I WOULDN'T HAVE A LIFE'

Collett says he understands those who call him a hypocrite, but says he can't easily escape what he calls an 'evil government' and a 'shadow oligarchy masquerading as a democracy.'

Public schools are 'the granddaddy of all welfare programs' but still, he says, he uses their facilities. He also recreates on public lands and uses public transportation and libraries. Though he opposes them, he carries a driver's license, registration and mandatory auto insurance.

'If I couldn't participate in anything that I didn't agree with that the government was involved in, then I couldn't be married, I wouldn't have kids, I wouldn't own property,'Collett told the Statesman. 'Basically, I wouldn't have a life.'
If it makes 'financial sense' for him to buy insurance under the Your Health Idaho exchange, Collett says he'll do so.

As for enrolling the kids in Medicaid — the federal-state low-income health insurance program that many of his friends call welfare — he said, 'I'm OK taking whatever I can from the government that's available to me. I'm not going to lie and scam the system, but I'm OK with redirecting that money away from morally reprehensible things and direct it towards me.'

Collett cited the 'murder' in funding abortion and 'unjust' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as examples of things he finds objectionable.

He said none of the children have had major illnesses. 'I qualify for it. Seven of them came with Medicaid cards from foster care. To a large degree it's a matter of practicality."' [Source] 

No, it's a matter of hypocrisy.

Finally, this Obamacare rollout seems to have some glitches where the software to go online and sign up is concerned. (Someone in the know tweeted me that the interface is fine but that there are back end errors with coding.)Of course if you listen to the latest meme from the corporate controlled press here in America, you would think that it's a total disaster and will never be workable.

There are glitches to be sure, but why is this a bad thing? Don't folks have until the end of March, 2014 to sign up? You Americans need to be patient. If it wasn't for Obamacare you wouldn't have any health coverage at all. Besides,the fact that people are overwhelming the system to sign up just means that it's something that has been needed all along.

But, once again, the walking dead among us seem to be missing the big picture: Computer glitches can be fixed, and a bad health- care system like we have been living under here in America needed a serious overhaul.

So, with all due respect to Don Lemon, (Don, see you on FOX, soon) this is just more shouting in the wind from people who can't stand to see change.

Again, computer glitches can be fixed; we can't say the same for people who need cancer treatment with no money.

    Field, I worked in the computer industry for over three decades. Every corporation that rolled out a new large scale computer system that supported a substantial data base user access facility as part of the system has been subjected to numerous revision cycles before they get all of the bugs out of the user interface.

    You can choose any industry (insurance, financial, manufacturing, etc) and the endless revision story is the same. It just takes a long time to work out the bugs in the user interface. Various General User Interface (GUI) support software systems have been created to reduce the amount of coding required to support user interfaces. These systems work very well in building customized user interface (UI)facilities for a given industry.

    The UI primary function is to control the user's operational access to the computer system's data base both for storage and retrieval of information. However
    most system UI problems surface when the system designer has to marry a given user Interface to the Data Base Management (DBM) portion of the computer's operating system. Most systems software engineers wind up out of necessity creating a bunch of very specialized routines that smooth out the functional variations between the UI and the DBM.

    Quite frequently revisions to these specialized UI to DBM software routines do not keep up with the high volume of changes being made to the UI in response to the errors being uncovered by users after the software has been released to the public.

    The only solution to rapidly reducing the amount of time required to achieve a "stable" system that functions with the minimal amount of possible UI errors is to employ a HUGE number of UI interface testers in a well controlled Quality Assurance environment. These testers as a group are tasked to run every possible option available in the entire UI package. The testers create a error bug list for the software developers who in turn fix the appropriate UI or DBM function accordingly.

    Currently most computer companies do not hire the number of testers needed to properly debug their UI/DBM software and just wait for the customer generated bug reports to pile up. After a certain period of time the company will issue a new software revision which has been updated to incorporate all of the customer reported errors. For some companies such as Microsoft this period can be as long as a year between new release revisions.

    Field, Don Lemon isn't the only person talking about the horrific roll-out of ACA. You must live in a bubble because everyone is talking about how crappy this roll-out is. The Repubs had a hard time trying to defund Obamacare.

    After this total screw-up, you can be sure they will get their way next time in 3 months. And they will have the American people backing them.

    You must really hate Don Lemon. You haven't had a good thing to say about him. Well, at least you haven't called him White like you have me.lol

    I am going to do you a favor. I am going to e-mail Don Lemon about you. Let's hope he will invite you on CNN. That would be a sight to behold as Don crushes your ass before the entire nation. lol...

    Don would never go to FOX nor would FOX hire him. Don is too quick to call FOX and the entire lineup as a bunch of sleazeball racists.

    You don't know your people very well, do you? No wonder you call some of us White. You are a blind and lost soul.

    You are a first rate Obamaholic. Obama can do no wrong in your eyes. I mean, you idolize the man so much you might as well call him God.

    It is true our health-care system needed a serious over-haul, but this is going from bad to worse.

    Well that's a stupid idea. What if him and his wife get sick or injured severely (or shot, see Rep. Gibborts of Az). Who's going to pay for those medical bills? The STATE will, we the TAXPAYERS will, because this dunderhead doesn't want to get health insurance and doesn't have the funds onhand to pay thousand dollar medical bills.

    It's funny that someone who dislikes the government deliberately went out and got a government job- a difficult one at that.

  8. And thus highlights my argument against conservative ideology. There are some people who actually need assistance so why end something you personally don't use/need (even though they sometimes do). Many conservatives rail against governmemnt and say they don't need it but they live in rural areas. Of course someone living in BFE doesn't need the same level of services offered in NYC but those are two different circumstances. I don't have a problem with conservatives but understand we all don't share your ideology and you shouldn't push your madness on the rest of us. I see government and government services like the penny container at 7-11, if you need it use it, if you don't don't and if you have some left over leave it for someone who may need it (one day you may come up short and need it too).

  9. I was just commenting at a party tonight on Mr. Obama's fantastic and ongoing run of luck in his opponents, and how if something similar were to happen to a republiklanner, the tbagger/christianist alliance would be dancing with snakes and speaking in tongues in the street as if it was the messiah's second coming. No, no-one's political enemies have ever shot themselves in the feet as reliably as his have.

    The gop's spectacular recent self-immolation distracting the entire press-corpse from HHS's abysmal launch of the Federal Obamacare exchanges in the nullification states made it as if it never happened as far as the country's concerned. That's just the latest example of his lucky star too. What are the odds that his reklan opponents for president would both deliberately market themselves as t-clowns instead of the electable moderates they'd been their entire political careers? That's gotta be natural royal-flush odds at least. Go back to his senate race & he get's first Jack Ryan's flame out & then Alan Keyes psychosis. His luck even works on Democrats, just ask Hillary or you could go all the way back to his first campaign when Alice Palmer tried to screw him out of her endorsement and run against him for State Senate in '96 and then blew her nominating petition signature count and left him a shoe-in. The man's obviously got a political guardian angel of some sort: and that's what makes the reklanners seethe.

    Yeah, it's kind of like that, except with the government, you are forced to throw pennies in the container, a lot of pennies, and a lot of the other people who are taking those pennies don't really need them.

    Actually, it's worse than that. Not only are you forced to put a large percentage of your pennies in that container, the government gives so many away that they have to borrow about 25% of them to meet the demand.

    If you could count, you'd be a conservative.

    Um, no, the insurance company will. You see, one of the wonderful provisions of Obamacare is that insurance companies can't deny you coverage for pre-existing conditions. That means he can wait until he gets cancer or his wife gets shot in the head and then buy insurance - and the insurance company has to pay! Isn't that great?

    If auto insurance worked that way, you wouldn't have to pay for auto insurance until you wrecked your car. Then you could go down and buy insurance for $100/month, and the insurance company would have to pay you $10,000 for your car. Sweet!

    As you can see, Obamacare was not designed to work. It was designed to put insurance companies out of business.

    Let's not be a dunderhead about this - think!

    You are right about one thing: Obama has had the most incredible run of luck in American political history.

    The flipside is that is has been an incredible stretch of bad luck for America.

    Perhaps he has been sent to be the Great Destroyer, to be the just deserts for a populace that has become fat, venal and stupid. He is the endgame of the democratic process, the embodiment of our ignorance.

    There’s no sugar-coating it, as some supporters of President Obama have tried to do. And the rapid rise in the debt is alarming enough without fabricating false statistics, as some Obama critics have done.
    ...
    Our chart looks much different from Pelosi’s, because ours shows the actual dollar increase, not just the percentage change. As can be seen here, Obama’s 45 percent rise is nearly equal in dollar terms to his predecessor’s 85 percent increase — because Obama started from a much higher base.

    Similarly, had we based our chart on the rate of rise, it would show the debt rising much faster under Obama than it did under Bush, whose increase was spread over eight years.

    More racism the self-proclaimed chaser of racism won't chase.

    Brooklyn group of black youths blocks white couple's car, bloody victims in racial attack: cops

    A group of 10 black youths — one of them a 12-year-old girl — surrounded a white couple's car in Brooklyn, viciously beating the husband and yanking the wife to the pavement by her hair as they peppered the two with racial slurs, authorities said.
    “Get those crackers!” some of them screamed, according to court papers. “Get that white whore!”
    The confrontation erupted about 7 p.m. Monday, as the marauding group crossed Avenue U at E. 58th St. near Kings Plaza Shopping Center in Mill Basin.
    Ronald Russo, 30, and his wife, Alanna, apparently had the green light and the husband honked at the group to get out of the way. The rowdy kids started kicking the car, according to the criminal complaint. Ronald Russo got out to check on potential damage to his vehicle.
    And that’s when all hell broke loose.

    Ronald Russo was dragged to the ground. Then he was punched and kicked in the head. He felt more blows all over his body, investigators said. He suffered a fractured nose, a broken septum, a blood clot and abrasions to his shoulder. He was treated and released from Beth Israel Medical Center.
    In the midst of the attack, there was a steady chorus of epithets. “White motherf-----!” screamed the attackers, who ranged in age from 12 to 18.

    I agree, we spend way too much on defense contractors and wealthy farm owners like Michele Bachmann. We need to work on that but I do like having police departments, fire departments, a military and roads. Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.

  25. Hey... Pilot..

    I take it your just in LOVE with Obamacare as well...


    Tell me how much of a bargain it is to have to cough up $2,500 bucks up front BEFORE Insurance companies will start to pay... ??

    Nevermind that you may be physically ill at the time you have to cough up the money.

    Yes they can longer deny coverage due to health reasons... and they have to use 80% of premiums towards care...

    Yet theres nothing about the cost of deductibles at all...

    Gee... I wonder why...

    Pilot X,

    Monday Night Football is boring so let me chime in. Bush's numbers don't include his wars, or his medicare plan. Obama put those on the books. Which is why his numbers are higher to start. Now factor in the soldiers who will need health care because of Bush starting these wars. I've heard minimum 5 trillion dollars. That's on top of whatever his total was, but Obama has to get some of that because he continued the wars. The difference is Obama didn't start them

    you are calling out the satan/lucifer sandwiches. you note the defeated devil pays well. i add only for awhile...@ game ova, the soul loses! the devil ALREADY knows this. he is trying to see how many dupes he can tally up.

    momma said, when one underestimates others, they only disadvantage themselves;) that teaching i wear around my neck, like a priceless necklace. as it is written.

    fyi, they are chipping folks already and have been for quite the while. the hearings are not widely televised, that's all. you have to understand the Truth of the world in which we live and seek Truth and Knowledge. most folks seek mammon, fun, sex,useless warring info that makes them feel real smart, etc. etc.

    chip provision out of BOcare, simply means outward focus is on dismantling the classes for the defeated plan to enslave humanity. if the hidden defeated hand can't get folks to beg to be disarmed...they could just MAKE folks do what they want. even blood thirsting demon possessed folks pause at the thought of bomb rushing armed people. those that don't know Almighty will shoot to kill first, then consider asking questions later. lol.

    heck, there might even be george zimmermans that will go hunt folks they have identified to be part of the conspiracy (going either way)...

    as the chaos sets in it is wise to consider the fact that anything is possible. please know, i don't advocate any of the violent behavior described above. just want to be clear that i DON'T wear rose colored glasses. it is written we are to be wise as serpents. watch...as well as pray. ALL signs indicate that it is about to be on in the coming weeks, months and years;) lol.

    folks are quick to disavow 'religion'...i include myself in those folks. it is imperative to make the distinction between religion, ritual doings, man following--as i call it and a close, spiritual bond with Almighty, your Creator.

    i don't think you are asleep at all. i make no assumptions. if unsure, i double back and run more spirit tests;)

    Obamacare Is Another Private Sector Rip-Off Of Americans

    Last February 3, I posted on this website a column, “Obamacare: A Deception,” written by an expert on the subject. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/02/03/obamacare-a-primer/
    Obamacare works for the insurance companies, but not for the uninsured. The cost of using Obamacare is prohibitive for those who most need the health coverage. The cost of the premiums net of the government subsidy is large. It amounts to a substantial pay cut for people struggling to pay their bills. In addition to the premium cost, it is prohibitive for hard pressed Americans to use the policies because of the deductibles and co-pays. For the very poor, who are thrown into Medicaid systems, any assets they might have, such as a home, are subject to confiscation to cover their Medicaid bills. The only people other than the insurance companies who benefit from Obamacare are the down and out who are devoid of all assets.

    Obamacare has resulted in the health insurance companies, who thought that they would be living in high profits from the mandated health coverage, being outsmarted by employers, who have reduced their full-time workers to part-time in order to avoid Omamacare’s requirement to provide health coverage to those employees who work 30 hours a week or more.

    Employers can get away with this, because jobs are hard to find. The lack of employment opportunities results in Americans with engineering degrees working as retail sales clerks and as shelf stockers in Walmart and Home Depot. Despite the abundance of unemployed and under-employed American technical and engineering workers, the large corporations lobby Congress for more H-1B visas to bring in lowly paid foreigners with the argument that there is a shortage of qualified Americans for technical work.

    For millions of employees, Obamacare means cut hours and less take home pay plus out-of-pocket expenses to purchase an Obamacare health policy. For most people covered by Obamacare, this is a lose-lose situation.

    It is also a lose-loss situation for the vast majority of the young. Most young people, unless they have jobs that provide health coverage, do without it, because the chances of the young having heart attacks, cancer, and other serious health problems is low.

    Obamacare, however, requires the healthy young to pay premiums for coverage or to pay a penalty to the IRS.

    Obamacare benefits only two classes of people. It benefits employers who drop their employees working hours below the hours specified for Obamacare coverage, and it benefits the insurance companies or the IRS who collect the premiums and penalties.
    Many of the people who pay the premiums won’t be able to use the policies because of co-pays and deductions.

    The very poor with no assets might receive health care if they reside in states that accept the Medicaid provisions of Obamacare.

    In 21st century America, the few people who have experienced income gains are the executives and shareholders of firms who offshored their production for US markets, Wall Street which makes bets covered by the Federal Reserve, and the military-security complex which has been enriched by the neoconservatives’ wars.

    Every other American has lost.

    shame!!!!

    The failure of this new digital technocratic healthcare web portal actually has nothing to do with the quality of the website, but has everything to do with the quality of the product, and even more so whether or not it actually fills a need.
    Unlike the Washington Post, Forbes actually reported the truth: Obamacare’s website is crashing because it doesn’t want you to know how costly its plans are:

    “A growing consensus of IT experts, outside and inside the government, have figured out a principal reason why the website for Obamacare’s federally-sponsored insurance exchange is crashing. Healthcare.gov forces you to create an account and enter detailed personal information before you can start shopping. This, in turn, creates a massive traffic bottleneck, as the government verifies your information and decides whether or not you’re eligible for subsidies. HHS bureaucrats knew this would make the website run more slowly. But they were more afraid that letting people see the underlying cost of Obamacare’s insurance plans would scare people away.”

    More problems will arise as time passes with type of system. The devil will be in the detail. The reality will soon become evident that Obamacare lets whoever it classifies as “the poor” to walk right in to hospitals, while forcing working Americans to take out a bank loan in order to get inside a hospital – premiums will be twice as high, and already expensive deductibles will increase, not to mention that this new system may soon require that entire deductibles must be paid up front.

    Contrary to the partisan rhetoric coming out of the White House and its Democratic Party arm, political and public opposition to Obamacare is a direct result of the federal government’s attempt to ram its program down Americans’ throats, and the IRS has been hire to collect healthcare fees – possibly at gun-point. If you know anything about the IRS, you’ll know that is no exaggeration.

    Americans should not forget: the original Obamacare bill was passed through the House before anyone had actually read it.

People have been working on these ideas for years and where has that gotten us? Just keep name calling and let's see how successful YOU are at pushing your agenda. I've been around long enough to know this is a long game and you have to be in it for the long haul, no president will use an executive order to get the programs you want they have to come from the people and that won't happen for a while.
