8 common myths about health insurance reform

2009-08-14T03:24:00.002-05:00

1. Reform will stop "rationing" - not increase it: It’s a myth that reform will mean a "government takeover" of health care or lead to "rationing." To the contrary, reform will forbid many forms of rationing that are currently being used by insurance companies. 2. We can’t afford reform: It's the status quo we can't afford.

North Korea has decided to threaten war (yawn....again?) if the US or Japan chooses to intercept the so-called satellite launch that N. Korea intends to carry out shortly. Of course, the US and others in the region believe the real goal is to test a long range missile "capable of striking Alaska." Of course, I do not take their threat all that seriously. If they chose war, they would be crushed.

Censure Bush and What We Want

2006-03-13T21:43:00.000-06:00

Bush is starting a “PR Offensive” on Iraq, urging ‘patience’ to complete the mission. Does anyone else find it odd that the president of the United States of America actually needs to go on a Public Relations tour to raise support for a war we’re currently engaged in? The last president to try to do that, Richard M. Nixon, eventually realized (after he reportedly snuck out of the White House to

America is Awakening

The incompetence of the government is not what we want. But yet it is exactly what we continue to focus on. And then we begin to wonder why it is that we receive more of the same (incompetent government). Well, the reason is quite obvious when you really take the time to think about it just for a few minutes. The reason is—What we focus on the most is what shows up, grows, and expands in our life

The Dubai Deal: American Security at Risk

2006-03-01T08:57:00.000-06:00

Some call it an overreaction that people think that the Dubai Ports World deal taking over control of ports in the United States "dangerous". I do not think it is an overreaction in any sense of the word, neither is it an issue of discrimination against the Muslim world. To think that is simplification of the issue by people with simple minds, wanting only to line their pockets and continue their

Earmark Reform (Cut the Fat)

2006-02-20T21:42:00.000-06:00

It is time for some serious earmark reform in the United States Congress. President Bush continues to pay lip service to his support for earmark reform (as he did once again in the January 31st, 2006 State of the Union Address). However, it is just lip service, because he is the first president since near the founding of the Republic (John Quincy Adams was the last president) to never (not once)

Get in on this vote now:Should Alito get an up or down vote?Regarding whether or not a filibuster is warranted in the atrocious pick of Samuel Alito.The Democrats must grow a background and scrounge up the 41 votes needed to extend the debate.
