The Founding Fathers On Health Care
There is much rumbling about the constitutionality of what Congress is now doing to legislate health care “reform”. Those who think the Constitution is a “living document”, subject to the whims of whoever manages to buy the most votes, and therefore argue that health care in this country is a “right” are, however, sadly off the… »
HR 3962: Frankenstein’s Monster
While this column has been quiet due to other priorities (like working so that the mortgage is paid, and volunteering so that others may improve their lot in life), it doesn’t mean we haven’t been watching the wankers in Washington as they continue their dangerous attempts to complete the progressive’s long-planned enslavement of the citizens of… »
Health Insurance Is Not Health Care
After spending the time necessary to digest the initial draft of H.R. 3200, that bastardizing socialization of American medicine the U.S. House is calling “health care reform”, not only do I find I have a severe case of heartburn, I am even more deeply angered at the state of this great nation under the current adminstration. I… »
HR 3200: A Deadly Swamp Of Socialized Medicine
The actual text of health care reform legislation is starting to percolate up from the depths of the committees, and it contains a plethora of hard stops on the freedoms that Americans are guaranteed and have come to expect. President Obama remains inordinately fond of continuing to campaign about all the “choice” he wants us to see in his vision of… »
Are You Willing To Trade Your Mother For An Illegal Immigrant?
The House is now on a mad dash to health care reform. And when the House rushes anything, as has been the behavior of all of Congress during this administration, you can bet your mama’s last remaining years that they’ll go bye-bye as surely as your hard-earned tax dollars are disappearing under the cloaks of stimuli… »
No Choice With Health Care “Reform”
The big buzz word being used to sell America on the idea of socialized medicine is “choice”. But – surprise, surprise - the Senate’s release today of certain components of its plans to “reform” health care for Americans doesn’t include it.
How do I force thee? Let me count the ways:
Americans who make the personal choice to not purchase “affordable” medical… »
Health Reform La Raza Style – Giving Health Care To Non-Citizens
As surely as that the wolf of socialized medicine wearing sheep’s clothing of health care reform means death to the elderly and others deemed not “cost effective” to treat, the legislation now brewing is going to be chock-full of pork and served with an enormous helping of spin, smoke and mirrors. And of serious concern is the… »
When Does It End? Part 2 of 2
After posting Part 1 of this piece, I went about my day’s business. Finally sitting down to watch the evening news I saw that 2 more people had gone on murderous rampages at opposite ends of the country. One, a father who murdered his 5 children in Graham, Washington, the other a man in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who… »
When Does It End? Part 1 of 2
The news yesterday was filled with up-to-the-minute reports about the tragic shooting in Binghamton, New York that ended with 14 people shot to death, including the apparent suicide of the gunman. Certainly, this isn’t the first time such a thing has happened; the list includes 3 senseless “killing sprees” last month alone.
Such actions by those who, for… »
*** EFCA Updates ***
7/19/09: Unions and Democrats are now starting to follow through on their planned smoke & mirrors strategy by “showing” willingness to drop the “card check” provision of the EFCA. But the most harmful part of this legislation, government arbitration, is still intact and it is having bureaucrats telling business owners how to run their business that remains the real danger.
7/2/09: California, anyone? … »
