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... 

He is sounding much like a Republican.  Heck, President Bush made these recommendations and was ostracized as a mean spirited white guy.  Too bad Barack did not have the courage to admit these revelations during the election.  The chameleon is showing his colors- Oops- he has no colors, stands for nothing, and just puts his finger in the wind, experimenting with our dollars. America was duped- and...

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...

Is Robert Gates hoping that if Barack Obama is elected president, he will keep him on as Secretary of Defense? It sure looks like it. Last week, while speaking at the U.S. Institute of Peace, Gates tacitly endorsed Obama’s famous identification of Afghanistan as the central front in the war on terror. After a few brief and perfunctory remarks about Iraq, Gates spent most of his address talking about... 

A Federal Communications Commission investigation of on-air military analysts is providing a glimpse of what Democrats and an Obama administration will do to critics once they capture Washington. The FCC has sent letters to some of the nation’s most prominent military analysts — some of them pro-President Bush and pro-war — suggesting they may have broken the law when they appeared... 

In the early months after the September 11 attacks, Democrats began to complain that the Bush administration was muzzling them. They whined about not being able to criticize the administration’s policies or risk being called “unpatriotic” or “undermining the war effort.” Of course, the Bush administration did no such thing. There was legitimate concern that newspapers... 

In July 2007, pollsters for the New York Times and CBS News asked respondents to name the issues most important to them as they considered which candidate they would support for president. The top choice for both Republicans and Democrats was national security–Iraq for Democrats, terrorism for Republicans. That was then. Today national security has virtually disappeared from the presidential...

Click to enlarge With Colin Powell now repeating the lie that Barack Obama has “always been a Christian,” despite new information further confirming Obama’s Muslim childhood (such as the Indonesian school registration listing him as Muslim), one watches with dismay as the Democratic candidate manages to...
