According to the House Health Care Bill (H.R. 3200), one of the actions the government can take if it doesn’t like a certain heath plan is the…

I recently got into a discussion with a liberal guy, who among other things, was complaining that it’s not good that health insurance is tied to a job. And if he looses his job, then he looses his health insurance as well, and that shouldn’t be so.

In this post I included a speech made by Ronald Reagan in 1961 against a Democratic proposal for socialized health care. This is a classic and it’s still applicable today. It’s amazing how the same issues keep coming up almost fifty years later. One striking point Reagan made was about the freedom of Doctors to choose where and how they practice. Listen to it by playing the following YouTube video:

In this segment, a panel on Fox News discusses Obama campaign promises that are either broken or well on their way to being broken. Taxes on people making under $250,000 per year will be raised both directly and indirectly, and we’re getting more politics as usual despite a pre-election sentiment (delusion) among many that Obama is a different kind of politician.

The Iraq war is a very common fixation among socialists so here goes:
Regardless of whether letting a brutal dictator, who was actively shooting at US Air Force planes (there to prevent a genocide), paying money for suicide bombers, violating UN resolutions, preventing UN inspectors form doing their job, and has killed hundreds of thousands of people in the past, get away scot-free is a good idea or not (and it’s okay which ever way you think here because any war has a cost)…
