Some very interest statistics have been compiled in recent years that rank healthcare in first-world countries. As far as I know, America is one of the last – if not the last – free-market health care country in the world. The two easiest countries to compare the U.S. to, of course, would be our closest first-world neighbors, England and Canada.
Statistics aside, one question has always plagued me: why, if these government-run health systems are so great, do people who can afford it (including senior government officials [the Premier for Newfoundland, …

Let’s start by analyzing the mind of a rapist. His goal: domination and absolute power, through any means necessary. His motivation: punishing another, degrading her, feeling superior and God-like. Making her feel like an object, a nothing, a no-thing.
What else propels him? Taking what he wants just because he wants it. Feeling the surge of power, the adrenaline rush, the thrill of stealing a piece of her. Anything else? Yes: feeding primitive, twisted impulses; expressing sadistic needs; the savage excitement of subjugating and controlling another.
Those most likely to rape? Someone who …

We have seen and heard from many sources in the past year and a half how President Obama is not merely borrowing some ideas, not just paralleling, but actually lifting whole programs used by FDR’s administration during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. All they’ve done is dust them off, polish them a bit, update them for modern times and presto! instant, ready-to-go policy. Pennsylvania Democrat Paul Kanjorski was quoted in May of 2008 as saying:
“All we’re doing is going into the basket and saying, ‘Damn, what did they do …

How come the media - or anybody else for that matter - never made much of an issue of the racist and sometimes outright ridiculous statements made by the people who are now the President and First Lady of the United States of America? Mind you, these are things said – and documented – well before they moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Was anyone out there awake? Some of these things are downright scary.
 
This is our President (everyone of voting age should read these two books; but don’t buy them, just check …

President Obama, mocking anti-immigration laws and the overwhelming masses supporting them, has said that such laws would only serve to hassle and/or harass “good” people who just want to take their kids out for ice cream. What a putz. True, there are some who are simply here for a better life, and nothing more. That doesn’t excuse the illegality of their presence, though; they need to leave and come back the proper and legal way.
However, and far more than King Barry wants to admit, those coming across the border aren’t just seeking a …

Let us consider the possibility that it’s not racially insensitive to want to redefine the requirements for citizenship in the 14th amendment. Let us also consider the historical context of the 14th amendment. There was open immigration in 1868, which means that there were no illegal immigrants.
The purpose of the amendment was to ensure that African Americans born in the United States were guaranteed the right of citizenship. It was commonly understood to be the case, as affirmed by Senator Jacob Howard in 1866:
Every person born within the …

Let me tell you a story (but not about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer tryin’ to keep his family fed…..). A common story throughout the country, unfortunately. Every state has thousands upon thousands of similar situations, and our local, state, and federal “representatives” have turned a blind eye for far too long. It is time to say “ENOUGH!”
You have two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”.
Both families have two parents, two children and live in California.
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 …

Have you heard we’re in a recession? Well, we aren’t really. It’s just that the hundreds of thousands of unemployed factory workers can’t cope with the fact that there is no longer an abundance of good paying jobs that require absolutely no skills.
In any case, these people happen to be kingmakers in a political atmosphere where “creating jobs” is – or should be – the number one thing on your agenda.
Enter President Obama’s entire presidency.
The need to cater to the skill-less wanderers of society has been a pressing concern …

As Obama completed his tour through five states yesterday, two contradicting themes were made clear: Democrats have accomplished a lot and Republicans have stopped them from doing anything.
Monday night Obama told a fundraiser in Holywood this:
“We have been able to deliver the most progressive legislative agenda — one that helps working families — not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three.”
However, an LA Times article from this morning told a different (and more accurate) story with the headline, “Obama now blames poor job numbers on congressional inaction. …

Or “How badly Barry screwed up in his first 100 days”
This is absolutely incredible. When I read this, I was flabbergasted. I know what all the namby-pamby bleeding-hearts say about waterboarding, but the fact remains that it works and produces results. There can be no doubt about it, nor can there be any doubt about how – in this instance, as well as in countless others – it and other “enhanced interrogation techniques” have likely saved hundreds, thousands, or even millions of lives.
As President George W. Bush’s top speechwriter, Marc …
