Reality Check

Reading Robin Carstairs always reminds me of the little girl sticking her fingers in her ears while babbling “I cant hear you- nanny, nanny, nanny”. The Kaiser Foundation, a liberal institution, reports that of 45 million uninsured, 15 million are here illegally, 15 million make $50,000 or more annually and choose not to have insurance, and up to10 million are eligible for free or substantially... 

Common Ground

Without a doubt, all Americans, regardless of party, desire affordable, accessible and quality health care. There can also be no doubt that American Health care is second to none as can be illustrated by the fact that Americans have a higher survival rate than any other country on earth for 13 of 16 of the most common cancers. If you remove the homicide rate and accidental death rates, US citizens... 

The wrong side of politics…

For far too long, the homeowner has been portrayed as the victim.  Allow me to correct myself, it is the  delinquent homeowner who has been used a tool by the left to demonstrate the gravity of our current economy.  This is so far from the truth and extortion of reality, it is difficult to believe that anyone who really considers the message, would actually believe it.  Unless, of course, you are... 

Te root of the problem.

  With much mud slinging about the causes of the downturn in the economy, it has been convenient to blame the sub-prime mortgage industry as the Grinch who stole Christmas.   However, this is what that policy is, convenient.  Convenient in that, much like the RTC debacle, politicians, think-tanks and consumers have largely glanced over the much bigger issues that led to and largely contributed... 

Socialists against Walgreen’s

  With respect to David Keck’s editorial and waste of space, who is he to tell Walgreen’s how to enforce their corporate policy, to which the terminated employee agreed to abide. It is unfortunate that Mr. Keck believes that saving a  drowning child is comparable to stealing from your employer.  If the employee was so interested in helping this homeless person, he could have given him his own... 

Sex Education (indoctrination…)

  … And what if the experts are wrong?   What if after spending $200 million per year on sex education in our public schools, and after spending 100’s of millions of dollars paying for abortions, that the new experts find the former were mistaken? What if a mother and father taught their daughter that engaging in sex not only brings with it the physical risks (as 4 million teenage girls... 

Red and Blue States-Should be Black and White

  Stan Brown’s response to my  comments about sexual educational, I believe, went a long way to prove my point:  Education is a key factor to lowered unwed pregnancy rates, along with a much lower percentage of single parent households, and a much lower level of poverty.  Which all ties into the fact that there is a strong correlation of a two parent household and attaining an education.  So... 

Pointing Fingers…

With much mud slinging about the causes of the downturn in the economy, it has been convenient to blame the sub-prime mortgage industry as the Grinch who stole Christmas.     This is, exactly  what that policy is, convenient-   All too convenient of an excuse for the greedy consumer who wanted more than they could afford-  The industry responded to the consumer demand.  This is the way free... 

It is not about economic (Race)

  Lee Vickson’s only words that made any sense, were his comparing the terrorists in Iraq to the gang members in America.  Mr. Vickson fails to recognize that the social pandering to the “economic” classes have largely led to the problems we face today.  Throwing money away, educating the parents, is like weaning an alcoholic on lite beer.  It’s not going to happen.  We have attempted... 

Interpreting the Constitution

  David Rainey clearly misses the point, when he admonishes people for not understanding the checks and balances of the three branches of the government.  The role of the courts are to uphold the constitution of the United States, not interpret it!  Mr. Rainey utilizes Civil Rights as an example, and if his admonishment was to hold water, he would believe that the dozens of occasions that the US...
