We have been deluged with information about the new health care “reform” bill. We now see that is will not, in fact, save money. We now know that it will not, in fact, achieve the goal of getting health care for everyone. It will not provide choices. It will not stimulate the economy. It will not provide decent care for the elderly (in fact, it | Read More »
I went to my doctor on Wednesday. No, not the local public clinic. No, not a Doc-in-a-Box. I went to my General Practitioner (also known as “Family Doctor”). I found my experience strangely profound. You see, I’d recently watched Steven Crowder’s video on Canadian Health Care. If you haven’t seen it and aren’t interested in watching (you should watch it), I’ll tell you how it | Read More »
The Democrats are committed to the idea of a public (read “government”) option for health care payment. When Republicans and Libertarians counter that such a program is just a stepping stone to universal, government-provided health care, Democrats start talking about the “Level-playing-field,” the idea that the government will compete fairly with private insurers. This is a farce: The Democrats know that such a level playing | Read More »
I’m no fan of racism. I do not believe in the inherent superiority of one race over another and do not believe in discrimination on the basis of race, creed, sexual orientation or much of any other reason. I do believe that private person or business has the right to discriminate as they choose based upon whatever reasons they see fit. This does not mean | Read More »
As I celebrated Independence Day this weekend, an number of intemperate and politically incorrect thoughts came to mind. I’d like to share a few, and see what you think: I wonder what is the carbon footprint of all these fireworks? (one answer I’ve gotten: “You’ll find out when you get your bill, citizen.”) The guys on “Whale Wars” are concerned that the whalers “have stepped | Read More »
As I watch and read about President Barack Obama’s stance on issues such as Iran and Honduras, I’m reminded of an early Family Guy episode, “E. Peterbus Unum.” In this episode, the main character, Peter, finds out that his property is actually not part of the United States, so he establishes the semi-acre plot as the nation of Petoria. At a meeting of the UN, | Read More »
Over a week went by before President Obama spoke about the controversy regarding the elections in Iran. Even then, his statements were weak and uninspiring. When Kim Jong-Il threatened to toss a missile at Hawai’i, Obama’s words were similarly late and weak. Now, when the Honduran president, Manuela Zeyala, attempts to hold an unconstitutional referrendum, President Obama is quick to call his ouster illegal and | Read More »
A life example helps illustrate what is wrong with health care in America. On October 22, 2000, shortly after dropping out of my first attempt at college, I went out job searching. My parents had informed me that I was now an adult and would be responsible for my own living expenses. Late in the afternoon I went home and sat down to watch television. | Read More »
Six attacks in two months. Cars stolen, people shot and neighborhoods living in constant fear of attack. Baghdad? Sri Lanka? Zimbabwe? Not hardly. At and near the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta, students and local residents have been dealing with muggings and robberies for months. Despite an increased police presence in the area, the Georgia Tech campus has become a haven for criminal activity. In | Read More »
In what will truly sound the death-knell for any political ambitions I may have ever had, Amy Miller (h/t) got me thinking about something in a Twitter conversation. First, let’s face it, almost everybody hates the idea of whale hunting. These are “beautiful” and “majestic” creatures. God’s creatures. Hunting them on the high seas brings horrific images to the minds of so many people, promulgated | Read More »
