Mar. 14, 2012 Dear Speaker Gingrich, As far as I’m concerned, you are the “man for the times”, sir. Our nation very badly needs a dose of the kind of creativity and ingenuity you have been presenting to find long-term solutions to our problems. However, it seems that a significant portion of the general public disagrees with me on this, Speaker Gingrich. I’m saddened by | Read More »

Prelude: I’m not sure how to explain to people what we’re looking at right now regarding Medicaid expansion, but I’m going to try to do it anyway, because this is an important factor that has to be taken into consideration as it pertains to what lies ahead.

PPACA, otherwise known as Obamacare, is a truly horrendous piece of legislation. Even if the socialized health care model was actually successful, which we know for a fact based on the evidence seen in other nations that it isn’t…Obama and the left went for over-kill in what they had written into PPACA. All we truly need is an effective system that wisely utilizes economic resources. | Read More »
Earlier today, I had to transport a family member to and from the hospital for minor outpatient surgery. The health care facility in question was an hour’s drive from home. During the return trip, we tuned the radio in to listen to Rush Limbaugh’s show for today. It was then that I had the opportunity to listen to clips of Daniel Hannan’s speech at the | Read More »

I can’t say that I’m a John Strossel fan, but he hit the nail on the head in his recent article entitled “ObamaCare Abominations”. The article explains why the uncertainty of Obamacare has been having such a negative impact on our economy.

No, I’m not trying to “beat a dead horse”. Truthfully, I believe abortion to be the killing of a human life equal to murder. My impression is that a lot of other Conservatives are in agreement on that point and would prefer to see abortion treated the same as murder within the context of the law. This is where it gets problematic from my viewpoint, | Read More »

Yet when I read this story, it touched me so | Read More »
(I’ve spent about the last five minutes ROFL…finally down to chuckling, so I think I can write this now.
