Universal Health Insurance: Just Don’t Get Sick
Progressivism piece by Alan Caruba (4/6/08)
Okay, let’s say that President Obama or Hillary is in office and Congress has passed a bill that requires everyone to have health insurance. Gas is up over $4.00 a gallon, food prices are sky high, and, if you’ve recently graduated from college, you are paying off loans at $1,000 per month.
Parents - Want A Dumb, Illiterate Children? Keep Them In Public School
To teach children how to play the piano, you have to teach them the basics of music - keys, notes, chords, melody, and harmony. With these tools learned, your kids can experience the joy and sense of accomplishment from playing their favorite songs on the piano.
America’s Fifth Column
America has a growing enemy within. This enemy is referred to by experts as America’s Fifth Column. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the term Fifth Column refers to “A clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation’s solidarity [unity] by any means at their disposal.”
We don’t need no stinking Mexican flag
Peter Lynch Air force veteran convicted of destroying a Mexican flag, if this were in Mexico one could say that he got what he deserved after all it was their country and their flag and anyone who goes into another country and tears down their flag deserves to be punished. But he wasn’t in Mexico, he was in New Mexico and it is my understanding that is in the United States of America, and that flag was on a college campus flying alone. He did try and alert someone in authority before he took it down but since he was the one who took it down, we can safely assume that the person of authority did not think it was a problem, seems we have a lot of those these days. Now granted he did not get much of a punishment but the fact he was punished at all is beyond me.

‘Ignorant Or Just Old-Fashioned Stupid?’
Well, they are at it again down in Washington and on the campaign trail. The pandering for votes continues and as Congressmen, Senators and presidential hopefuls without enough candlepower to fire a few brain cells are trying to find out why gas prices are so gosh darn high. Their target? Evil, wicked, naughty “Big Oil.” Yeah, big shock there! Because we all know that “Big Oil” is to blame right?
The Comedy of Horrors: Obama vs. Clinton
During New York City Mayor David Dinkins’ re-election battle against Rudy Guiliani in November, 1993, then-President Bill Clinton rode on his white horse into the Big Apple to help that city’s first black mayor.

The Gas Price Blame Game - Revisited
I first published an article on this subject in April 2006 - two years ago… but with some minor updates it is still as true today as it was then - and to my mind, it bears repeating! So here goes:
Should Principled People Join a Union? Part 1 and Part 2
“But workers have a right to share in the profits of a company.” Well, did they share in the risks? If they share in the profits in a good year, will they accept a smaller wage in a bad year?
You can’t say that
It seems that there is a lot of name calling, mud slinging and down right ridiculous behavior going on and I am not even talking about the candidates. I am talking about groups who regularly call people racists, nativists, bigots and other things I am sure in private. They say we are spreading hate by exercising our right to free speech, you see we are not supposed to have an opinion unless it mirrors theirs, we are not supposed to utter those opinions less we spread hatred among the land and garner their reproach. We are to be dutiful Americans, we are to go to work and we are to pay taxes but don’t be thinking you can use any of those freedoms spelled out in the bill of rights because they are not for us. You see those are only for a select few, those who came here illegally and those who want them to stay.
Politico: More Southern Bashing Over Carville Remark in Pa
Typical of too many Northern based media outlets, Politico(1) indulged in a little South bashing today with a story on a remark about Pennsylvania spoken in 2006 by Clinton Democratic operative James Carville. In attempting to explain the political climate of the Keystone state, Carville basically said that state looked like Paoli (a suburb of Philadelphia) and Penn Hills (a suburb of Pittsburgh) with Alabama in between. Despite Carville’s claims that he didn’t mean it as any sort of slam, Politico and many Pennsylvanians are acting as if being compared to the culturally conservative and religious parts of Alabama is an outrageous insult. This incident just shows once again that the political elite and the media are utterly biased against the American Southland in general and religious Americans in particular.

‘Will Europe Resist Islamization?’
Some analysts of Islam in Western Europe argue that the continent cannot escape its Eurabian fate; that the trend lines of the past half-century will continue until Muslims become a majority population and Islamic law (the Shari‘a) reigns.
Irresponsibility Destroys Freedom
I was outraged this past week when I read that a municipal government in Great Britain declared it would take away a couple’s children, if those children didn’t lose weight. It was amazing, because I’d seen many families in the US that looked quite similar to this poor family. The only reason they’d attracted the attention of social workers is because they’d come to them for assistance caring for their youngest daughter, who is developmentally challenged. Thus, Ronald Reagan was right, “The scariest words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
‘Do Female Politicians Represent an ‘Ethical and Pure’ Force?’
Hillary Clinton has famously claimed that “Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption.” Ironically it’s Mrs. Clinton who has now come under withering criticism as her ethical lapses and make-believe claims become legion.

They Need Inferiors
The apparent madness of Leftists opposing any drilling for oil in Anwar, where the environmental impact is practically nil and which would immediately begin to ratchet down the price of oil, and Leftists simultaneously railing against big oil companies for high oil prices is only apparently mad. The Left wants the price of oil high. The Left wants the price of all necessities like food and medicine high. The fact that this causes general misery and that this causes particular misery among the lower middle class does not prevent the Left from taking this perverse position. That fact is the actual reason why the Left wants prices high or wages low or opportunity blocked or hatreds simmering.
What a Tangled Web We Weave
Last Friday, on the ABC talk show “The View” - about as softball a venue as one can get - presidential hopeful Barack Obama indicated that he would have left Chicago’s Trinity United church had the militant, anti-American pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright not recently retired.
The Worst Moment in History to Demand Biofuels
This is the worst moment in history to demand billions of gallons of biofuels from our farms.
Plagiarism a ‘Consequence of the Internet’? I Don’t Think So!
Just once I’d like to see blame for one of our societal ills put in the proper place these days. Everyone has to finger point at everyone else while ignoring their own part in the mess. This incident, though, is just another bad example of blame put everywhere but where it belongs. In this case, the AP reports(1) about a University of Texas at San Antonio incident of plagiarism of which Clemson University’s Daniel Wueste ridiculously blames on the Internet.

New Jersey Taxpayers Stuck With A Double-Dipping Government
A survey sheet is making the rounds among New Jersey voters and taxpayers in an effort to “recall” Governor Jon Corzine after only two years in office.
The Republican Jewish Coalition
Similarly to other urban minorities like Blacks and Latinos, Republicans have had difficulty acquiring the Jewish vote, especially in the past half-century. While President Reagan and President Bush in 2004 increased their share of the “Jewish vote” over their party’s predecessors, it will be considered an achievement, like it was for President Bush, if one in four Jews will likely vote for John McCain in the fall. Why is this?
Your Child Is Not State Property
Rocked by a nationwide storm of criticism, the Los Angeles County court that declared homeschooling illegal in California has agreed to rehear the case in June. At issue is Justice H. Walter Croskey’s Feb. 28 decree, which ordered the parents of “Rachel L.” to send her away to a public or private school, where she can get a “legal education.”

Hillary’s “Sniper Fire” + Obama’s Pastor Disaster = McCain Looking McFine
Hillary tried to garner some Fifty Cent-like street credit last week by lying to us all that a sniper tried to bust a cap in her while she was chillin’ in Bosnia back in the day. Fo’ shizzle, Hillarizzle.
Ultra-Rich Cash in on Global Warming Hoax
Recently I emailed a gentleman who is highly regarded, nationally and internationally, as one of the top strategic, military and economic long-range thinkers of our times. He is the author of several bestselling books about the way globalization is impacting the lives of the Earth’s population.
Mich. Speaker of House Employs State Paid Thugs to Stop Recall Effort
Here is a story that details how far Democrats will go to destroy the people’s ability to be heard in government. It also shows Democrat’s penchant to abuse their power, their blatant waste of government funds, and the incestuous relationship that the anti-democratic process unions have with Democrats.

McCain’s Incoherent New World Order
In his March 26 speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, McCain never mentioned the need to preserve American sovereignty. He could have reassured conservatives by stating his forthright opposition to Senate ratification of the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, which provides for international control over billions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals and undermines American claims to North Pole riches. But he chose not to.
Agents of Division: Bring Devastating Change
For more than 200 years, a nation of immigrants from all parts of the world, all races, all cultures, all religions and all languages, have stood together as one people united only by a simple single set of principles and values that made them the most free, prosperous and powerful people on earth. No matter their backgrounds, their past, they chose a brighter future united in the common purpose of individual rights and rejected the chains of division.

Why Don’t We All Become Democrats
Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” raises an interesting question. The Left has occupied the Democrat Party, which has purchased the souls of large groups of Americans - blacks, Hispanics, feminists - and yet the word “liberal” is passionately rejected by all Democrats. The political parties have been democratized completely: no one can keep anyone from participating completely in the Republican or Democrat parties.
Cultural Affirmative Action
In a way, I prefer the old, overt affirmative action. While it was government-sanctioned discrimination, at least it was, in some measure, more honest than our cultural affirmative action. There is such a thing. It’s when people in the market and media privilege others - sometimes unconsciously - based upon the latter’s identification with a “victim group.”

Second Amendment Under Fire
District of Columbia v. Heller - As the U.S. Supreme Court considers the matter of “gun control” in the District of Columbia, many Americans understand that the issue is about “control” not “guns.”
The Oceans Have Stopped Warming!
This year of 2008 is starting out cold - but according to the “consensus” climate watchers it’s still likely to be one of the “top 10 warmest” in the thermometer record before it’s over. After all, the Greenhouse gasses continue to accumulate in the atmosphere.

Obama Tied to More Racists
As the leftist media valiantly attempts to bury any additional and factual racist-related stories about their presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), new information regarding Obama’s ties to racism and anti-Americanism are still emerging. And just as Obama’s former self-admitted anti-American/anti-white people/anti-Semitic pastor Jeremiah Wright has skulked off the pulpit of the inaptly named “Trinity United Church of Christ”, another apparently racism-preaching minister - Otis Moss - is picking up where Wright left off.
