SC Gov. Haley's neoconometer dial just swung to the left

Awwww, an East Indian governor for South Carolina -- what a great new way that was for the classically Southern state to prove it's "moved on" from its "racist and discriminatory past".

Awwww, what a plus for showing we're not opposed to immigration. It didn't make us the diversity poster child of the 50 states, but her campaign did strike such rapture into Newsweek's heart that it turned half an issue over to her charm, her loveliness, her doctoral-level political perspicuity, her skin color, darkish hue, swarthiness, her overall greatness and perfection.

Awwww, we don't mind if she pulls a few leftist punches. It's perfectly understandable, OK and progressive that she's suddenly pulled an Obamacare knockoff out of a hat to force on us all -- isn't it?

Talbert Black of the Palmetto Liberty PAC alerts:

In the middle of an intense battle to protect our state from ObamaCare, our flank is ambushed by Governor Haley.
The State newspaper reported Wednesday that new expansion of state medical programs was introduced Wednesday by House Republicans and supported by Governor Haley.
Haley’s communications director is quoted as saying, "This is a strong plan focused on targeting hotspots of poor health in South Carolina."
The State itemizes HaleyCare with $83 million in new spending mostly aimed at state hospitals.
Does that ring a bell with anyone?
Remember, Haley was the subject of a House Ethics committee investigation last year for accusations that she used her position as a sitting House member to benefit her employer . . .  Lexington Medical Center . . .  a large hospital system in the Midlands.
Amazing!
And now Governor Haley wants to saddle us with more government spending on medical programs?
Does anyone want HaleyCare or ObamaCare?
Remember how she railed against ObamaCare?  Now we know she was secretly plotting her own HaleyCare at the same time!
Enough is enough!
The State reports that, "The proposal is part of the state’s $23 billion budget but would not spend any new money. Instead, it would pay for it using $62 million the state Department of Health and Human Services received last year but did not spend."
$83 million in spending to be paid for with $62 million of last year’s excess . . .  with no new spending?
Someone can’t do simple math!
And isn’t that the problem?
No one in government can!
Besides, how about the novel idea of letting unspent money remain unspent?
Can anyone in government do that?
Call Governor Haley at (803) 734-2100 and tell her we are not interested in HaleyCare or ObamaCare!
And call your Representative and tell him the same thing!

..............How's this for an update on US foreign aid at work? Among other things that shall remained unmentioned by me in this here sentence.

..............Some of you are familiar with Dr. Clarkson's great, ironic, mirthful, practical, strategic use of soup kitchens. I keep the tradition going in Anderson. Each day as I park in a spot by the curb, black folk waiting for the bus peer at my bumper sticker, none smiling. I again engaged one in conversation today. "How do you like that message," I said, "'OBAMA BIN LYIN'."

"What does it mean?"

"That Obama's been lying -- to your people, my people, and everybody else. He never had any intention of helping us, only making himself richer and more powerful."

"(Indistinct mumble.)"

"Excuse me?"

"Obama ain't s***."

.........I've been asked many times what's become of Dr. Clarkson's house, our beloved former headquarters that contained the War Room where much of the modern tax freedom movement was hashed out. I drove by the place the other day and it had a blessedly normal look. Somebody's moved in and spruced it up nicely. Slight modifications have been made: the front picture window doesn't protrude anymore. I once drove over there on a whim, something I rarely did, and arrived to find a crisis in progress: baby Gabby's first grandmother had somehow locked her in the house. Gabby was sitting on the living room getting more and more agitated while D--- was breaking one of the big window's side panes. Fortunately I had a key.

The house was of course my first South Carolina home for a year. The wall behind RBC's beloved couch was actually wood-shingled, with many pictures and mementoes pinned to it. What many of you knew as his desk area was the inside of a little bar back then -- Fran would fill orders on it while steaming at our hero.

I first met her in New York City -- the young family had come to see the place and stayed at a big beautiful hotel in exchange for some tax help RBC gave the manager. Oddly enough he was set on trying a Middle Eastern restaurant, the Carawan. It was forgettable, but for dinner we went to the Hard Rock Café. I'd never even seen it -- what a trip. In between I took them to the Empire State Building. As I homed in on its location nothing felt very certain -- the former tallest building in the world couldn't be visually recognized as such anywhere near it.
