So, Barack wants the rich to pay for health care, and yet those he espouses to protect and care for are shoving garbage down the ol’ pie hole with both hands.  It is estimated that the cost to address childhood obesity in California alone, will run $7.7 billion annually!   Wouldn’t it seem rational to place some conditions on receiving public dollars for health care.  Such as being a responsible... 

When is the last time you had to make an appointment with a specialist, or visit the emergency room?  Well, I can tell you this, whenever our family  has, the wait to get an appointment or be seen by emergency room doctors has been extraordinary.  I was seeking an appointment with a urologist- 7 weeks until the soonest opening- and this was after checking with numerous doctors and clinics.   Visiting...

Just what is accountability, and what we are to do to those who... 

If Barack Obama is not a socialist, he does the best imitation of one I’ve ever seen. Under his tax plan, the top 5 percent of wage-earners have their income tax rates raised from 35 percent to 40 percent, while the bottom 40 percent of all wage-earners, who pay no income tax, are sent federal checks. If this is not the socialist redistribution of wealth, what is it? A steeply graduated income... 

If he’s elected next week, Barack Obama won’t be our first black president: Toni Morrison labeled Bill Clinton our “first black president” in October 1998.  (We have seen no reports that she retracted that label as a result of the South Carolina primary campaign). And never mind all the nonsense floating around the internet.  Barack Obama wasn’t born in Indonesia, or Kenya or wherever. ... 

We have a choice between two futures. For the first, fast forward 23 days.  It’s November 17.  Congress convenes for a special session with a veto-proof Democratic majority Senate, an expanded Democrat majority in the House and a Democrat in the White House.   The sole item on their agenda is to pass the $300 billion government spending package promised by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi back in October.There... 

Republican John McCain, kicking off a cross-state bus tour aimed at keeping vote-rich Florida from swinging to the Democrats, on Thursday accused rival Barack Obama of saying “anything to get elected.”   The Arizona senator noted that Obama had added a work requirement to his proposal to grant a 10 percent universal mortgage credit. Obama aides said the campaign added the requirement two... 

The 2008 presidential campaign has centered on big economic and foreign policy issues. Almost completely overlooked have been the candidates’ positions on higher education. In McCain’s case, that hardly matters because he doesn’t really have much to say. Naturally, he says that the nation needs a more skilled workforce to meet increasing global competition. (Although it sounds good, that idea... 

ABOARD “Straight Talk Air” (between New York and Miami) — Sen. John McCain would “absolutely” not compromise on Supreme Court nominations if elected and would continue to nominate strict constructionist judges if any of his Supreme Court nominations were defeated by a hostile Senate. McCain said that and much more to HUMAN EVENTS chief political correspondent John Gizzi in an exclusive... 

Senator John McCain (R–AZ), the Republican presidential nominee, has proposed an ambitious health care reform agenda. His plan focuses on four key objectives: making health insurance innovative, portable, and affordable; ensuring care for high-risk patients; lowering health care costs; and confronting long-term care challenges.[1]  These goals are mean­ingful, and McCain’s policy measures...
