American History, as mis-told by Harry Reid

There's no shortage of lunacy and outright lies coming from the left side of the political spectrum. Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev) recently mis-represented the women's suffrage and emancipation movements as having been blocked by Republicans. In fact, it was members of his own party that blocked and obstructed such advances.

November 7, 2009: a Day that will Live in Infamy

You can find a link to the text of H.R 3962, the Pelosi health-care bill passed by the House of Representatives, HERE. You can read a short summary of what's in those 1,900+ pages, by Betsy McCaughey at Wall Street Journal, HERE.

If you think people ought to be thrown in jail for not buying insurance, you'll probably love the bill. If you think old folks are getting off easy today, you'll love what's gonna happen to them when this bill goes into effect. If you think that all the uninsured will get free health care, you're sadly mistaken. If you think that you personally will benefit, you're probably wrong about that, too.

WSJ on ObamaCare

If you're the sort of person that wants to know what's going on in the debate over health-care reform, you might consider looking at this Wall Street Journal web page. They have links in one place on many (all?) of the articles they've published on this issue.

Cancer Treatment or Assisted Suicide?

Who is more sympathetic to the plight of the patient, Big Government or Big Business? Watch this video to the end before you decide.

This is "health-care" in the state of Oregon, a pattern many in the Federal Government think ought to be extended to the rest of the country. Government makes the decisions about treatment, not the doctor, certainly not the patient. I don't think I care to participate, thank you very much. Is this the sort of "health-care" that our president says we are owed as a right? The Declaration of Independence says we have a right "to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Notice that Life comes first; without Life, the others don't mean much.

Health-Care Secrets

There's an old saying in Texas, used when one perceives that he's not being told the truth: "Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining!" That's exactly what's going on in town halls around the country. In the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal, there's this little blurb about how the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (chaired by Chris Dodd, D-Conn), passed out an amended $1 trillion health-care bill back on July 15. Earlier this month, Senator Arlen Specter (D-Penn) told a town hall meeting that those opposed to the present monstrous HR3200 are "just wrong; the Senate doesn't have a bill yet." Well, the only true part about that is they haven't turned over their cards yet. The Democrats in the senate have known since the middle of July what they intend to inflict on us, but they haven't seen fit to tell us. They haven't even shared it with the Republican senators. And you really believed these clowns when they promised an "open, transparent government?" Do you really think they want an open, honest government when they pull this sort of crap and then expect to pass the legislation without allowing time for public commentary? My friend, they were peeing in your ear then, and they're doing it now.
