Docs 4 Patient Care

Think the American Medical Association is the end-all when it comes to what doctors in the U.S. believe? Think again. The AMA represents less than one-quarter of all doctors in the U.S. Further, the AMA is about politics, not medicine. That is why there are groups like FACS and Docs 4 Patient Care. These groups [...]

So, How Is The Glenn Beck Boycott Going?

Not too well it seems. Right about now, the executives at GEICO, Progressive and a whole bunch of other companies are lamenting the fact that they have now lost out on a market of a potential 3 million viewers. From TV By The Numbers: Though a little scandal might alienate advertisers, it’s pure ratings gold. [...]

A Spy ‘Outing’ Game For Real

So, where are all the libs who were rallying around Valerie Plame a few years ago? They were all screaming about how horrible it was that Plame got “outed” as a CIA agent. For some reason, all those same libs are now silent (I would say shamefully silent) about John Adams Project defense lawyers for [...]

Cruel And Neglectful Care Of One Million British Patients Exposed

There must be something in the water over in the United Kingdom these days. Lately, there seems to be no end of news items exposing how poorly the socialized health care system they have is serving its intended goals. That is to say, NHS is shaping up to be a huge failure. From Rebecca Smith [...]

Man Collapses With Ruptured Appendix … Three Weeks After (British) NHS Doctors ‘Took It Out’

The hits just keep on coming from Great Britain’s National Health System (NHS). In this case, a man went in for an apendectomy, and a month later, after his appendix had supposedly been removed, his appendix ruptured, endangering his life and leaving him in intense pain. From Daniel Bates at the UK Daily Mail: After [...]

More Reasons Why We Do Not Want Socialized Medicine

My son was born in December of 2008. We had the plans made long beforehand. And since it was to be an induced labor, we already had the hospital, staff and emergency contingencies all lined up before we even left home that morning. For us, it was no more difficult than planning a vacation. When [...]

The Whole Foods Alternative To Obamacare

This is a story that should have been circulated widely by Old Media. But, since it undercuts socialized medicine as envisioned by Barack Obama, they simply sat on it in the hopes that no one else would notice it. Good thing we have a blogosphere to do the job that Old Media absolutely refuses to [...]

The Real Ted Kennedy Legacy

I know that for the next several days that people are going to heap praise after praise on Ted Kennedy. They call him the “lion” (I would say “liar”) of the Senate and other such things, but what has he really accomplished? Apart from being one of the most vocal proponents of just about every [...]

Obama Administration To Give Terrorists More Fodder For Propaganda

Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder decided to move forward with prosecutions against CIA interrogators who protected American lives by extracting information from terrorists. Apparently, Obama doesn’t think it was right for those CIA interrogators to get that information. So, Eric Holder has appointed John Durham, a Justice Department prosecutor, to go after those interrogators and [...]

If It Weren’t For Hypocritical Double-Standards …

… leftist liberals would have absolutely no standards at all. From Philip Elliot of the Associated Press: President Barack Obama and his family began a weeklong vacation on this Massachusetts island with a message to the reporters who have crowded the New England villages: Chill out and don’t expect much. Pleading for privacy, the White [...]

Tom Daschle: Conflict Of Interest On Health Care

Remember during the campaign when Obama said that he would clamp down on lobbyists and not use any in his administration? He has already broken that promise several times, usually as a means of politically paying off his allies who helped get him elected. But it still doesn’t excuse the broken promise. Well, this broken [...]

One Paragraph Summation Of The Health Care Proposal

I don’t know who authored this, but it really says it all: Let me get this straight. We’re going to maybe have a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that [...]

Health Care Debate Exposes The True Barack Obama

And it is not the Obama who was elected in November of 2008. Writing for the New York Daily News, Michael Goodwin notes the following: Where is the appealing man we elected? Where is that Barack Obama? Let’s find him quick because the whole nation is paying the price for this impostor’s irrational exuberance. Or [...]

The Audacity Of Arrogantly Proclaiming A Partnership With God

You know, if a Republican or a Conservative Christian ever made a remark like Obama made yesterday, it would be a front-page news story for two-weeks while every major leftist news outlet in the nation would repeat it as a “macaca” moment. But for reasons that the average rational American is already keenly aware of, [...]

Cash For Clunkers Gives Good Preview Of Government Efficiency In Health Care

Several car dealerships in New York have withdrawn from the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Why? Dan Strumpf of Associated Press has this: “(The government) needs to move the system forward and they need to start paying these dealers,” said Mark Schienberg, the group’s president. “This is a cash-dependent business.” The program offers up to $4,500 [...]

AARP Loses Members Over Health Care Stance

I’ve been away at the beach for the past few days, but now I’ve returned and am ready to jump back into the fray. This article in USA Today caught my eye for a couple of reasons. First, it demonstrates how the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is more of a lobbying firm than [...]

The Senate Version Of The Socialized Medicine Bill Exempts Congress From Socialized Health Care

You can look at it on-line here: Affordable Health Choices Act Strange name since it limits choice rather than expands it. I haven’t had a chance to go through it yet, but something worth noting here in Section 3116 on Page 111. Subsection (a)(5) defines an “Eligible Individual.” It says the following: (5) QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL.— [...]

Mr. Deeds Goes Confederate

Creigh Deeds is nothing short of a God-send for the GOP in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Republicans could not have asked for a more idiotic candidate for Bob McDonnell to run against. When the arguments about the economy were not working, Deeds wanted to make abortion his winning issue. Having forgotten (and then remembering) [...]

Democrat Senators: Cap And Trade Should Be Delayed Until Next Year

I wholeheartedly agree. Let’s postpone debate on Cap-And-Tax until the 2010 election year. It will be one of the next big fights after we’ve defeated Obamacare. From Daniel Whitten and Simon Lomax of Bloomberg: The U.S. Senate should abandon efforts to pass legislation curbing greenhouse-gas emissions this year and concentrate on a narrower bill to [...]

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel Tries To Tap-Dance His Way Out Of His Own Writings

Jake Tapper isn’t a hard-core leftist, but he is easily manipulated by the left. Tapper looks at the responses that Dr. Emanuel gives for the recent criticism of his writings about rationing of health care and the “complete lives” philosophy for determining who gets what health care and how much. According to Tapper at ABC [...]
