Emboldened emphasis mine.
Who in today’s world would dare admit to being prejudiced? Not many. In the modern mind, to be prejudiced is to be racist, narrow-minded and backward. We are all supposed to be free-thinkers, to question everything we have been taught, to own our mind as completely as one would a home of his [...]

A “Right” to Healthcare?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged dalrymple, healthcare, medicine, obama, politics, universal healthcare on July 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Steve @ The Skeptical Doctor presents us with an essay presenting Theodore Dalrymple’s case against healthcare as a basic human right. From what I gather, much of this is spoken of in his book An Intelligent Person’s Guide to Medicine. Something tells me that I’ll be adding this book to my library queue very soon.
Some [...]
To Be Human

No political schemes this morning. Just some thoughts.
But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to [...]

A pair of bills introduced in the U.S. Senate would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared “cyber emergency.”
Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., are both part of what’s being called [...]
HR 1444 – The Back Door!

Hey, it rhymes, right? You know how I mentioned that the “mandatory” language had been removed from 1388?
Guess what.
All they did was cut it out and make it a separate bill. HR 1444, or “Congressional Commission on Civic Service Act“. Oh, look. It has everyone’s favorite paragraph, too!
(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory [...]

I first and foremost must mention: I’m a fan.
Furthermore, this man’s use of the English language fascinates me. “I can’t help noting parenthetically that…” Parenthetically? I have a new favorite word. Now, on to the good stuff:
* “Prime Minister, I can’t help noticing that you’ve already mastered the essential craft of [...]
“The Obama Song”

As a closet Billy Joel fan (well, all right, perhaps not so closet), I found the Obama song to be downright hilarious.
I laughed. Muchly. Kudos to Steven Crowder on this one. And on.. well..all of his clips.
Except now “We Didn’t Start the Fire” will be stuck in my head for the [...]
HR 1388 Passes Senate, 79-19

So, it’s through the House and the Senate now. I’m taking bets on how long it’ll be before they implement it.
Well, not really.
I don’t gamble.
Edited to add:
Apparently they have (for now) removed the language involving “mandatory” service, though the bureaucracy and the format still exists. The reason? According to Michelle Malkin, it’s “raised hackles” . [...]

For as long as I can remember I’ve joked about the idea of annexing NYC off onto NJ and letting them have ‘em. This morning I was tipped off by RochesterConservative’s link to the Times Union article “The war between the state“:
Should upstate New York go its own way? And what would we call ourselves [...]
