A popular refrain from Obamites is that the Republicans are just the party of "no" and didn’t participate in the process of crafting this obamination of a health care plan. As a result of this, "they" say, it was all up to the Democrats to craft the whole thing. So, "they" conclude, the people who don’t like obamacare, should blame the Republicans.

Inflation. That word is one that strikes fear in the hearts of many by its mere mention. It is axiomatic that the prevailing economic condition, whether good or bad, has a big impact on all our lives and influences everything from where we go for vacations (if we go anywhere at all), how we shop, how we vote, and, for many, even how well we sleep. It was not so many years ago that our lives were very negatively impacted by inflation rates that topped 10%. Even inflation rates above 5% have proven to be very disruptive.

I will never look at today’s Time Warner and its many subsidiaries the same way again.

Perhaps Denmark’s definition of manhood differs from my own, but this guy must surely fail to meet any threshold.

National security is best handled by spies, quarterbacks, and other shadowy characters operating in a fluid environment, making decisions as they go.

Perhaps my biggest pet peave in life is the blind application of rules. Rules have replaced thinking. It seems that more and more people subscribe to the belief that if we just make more rules, or laws, and we espouse zero tolerance policies, that somehow our lives will be enhanced.

Will we not learn the lessons that history is teaching us and finally, once and for all, bury socialist philosophies in a cold grave?

This is one reason why health care in the US is so expensive … and nothing in DemBamaCare is going to help.

Throughout human history, people have argued about how a society should be run. At one end of the spectrum is a strong central authority (king, lord, dictator, etc.) that essentially enslaves its people. Some of those people may well be very happy to be so enslaved while others will resent the lack of freedoms. I call this end of the spectrum "tyranny." The other end of the spectrum is no authority AKA anarchy. At this end, violence quickly ensues as people fight over life sustaining resources with the eventual result being a strong central authority that rules by force and threat of violence. This too is tyranny since it will lead directly to tyranny.
Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
Though I am a software engineer by day, I read a great deal about current events, history, and economics and philosophy. I'm certain that many of my former teachers will be pleasantly surprised to hear this. I've grown very interested in trying to help educate others about the liberty guaranteed to us in the United States Constitution and the economic theories on which this Country was founded.
