On foreign policy: If you ask a lib "Who would you rather have be the top dog - America or some other nation?" they will respond "Who says there has to be a top dog?"
The answer is: "Everyone but you."
The bottom line is that their ideology is all theoretical, immature, impracticable, and generally deluded. Couple that with infantile obstinacy and leaders who promulgate the "feasability" of their dogma, and they are quite dangerous.
We have to become comfortable with making them sit at the kiddie table, for their own good and ours.

Socialized Health Care – The Left’s Wet Dream
Socialized health care has been the Left’s wet dream for 40 years. Nearly all of the problems Americans face as regards health care (including those enumerated in President Obama’s speech on Sept. 9, 2009) have their genesis in government interference or the machinations of the Left. There is nothing in the current or modified legislation that addresses these; it only further coalesces the power of the government.
For the use of the reader, I have included the viable market solutions to reforming health care outlined by Whole Foods Markets’ CEO John Mackey in August of 2009, so that we know what to ask for:
1. Remove the legal obstacles which slow the creation of high deductible health insurance plans and Health Savings Accounts.
2. Change the tax laws so that that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have exactly the same tax benefits.
3. Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing across state lines.
4. Repeal all government mandates regarding what insurance companies must cover.
5. Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors into paying insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
6. Make health care costs transparent so that consumers will understand what health care treatments cost.
7. Enact Medicare reform.
8. Permit individuals to make voluntary tax deductible donations on their IRS tax forms to help the millions of people who have no insurance.
Bear in mind that the government (particularly those on the Left) have no interest in enacting such reforms. It would be akin to asking a pimp to send his girls to college. The imperative in actualizing the necessary reforms in health care is the same as for most of the significant problems this nation faces: Vote the bums out!

Death of a Dangerous Pig
When I was younger, I worked at one of the nation’s leading cancer research hospitals. I watched my mother die of cancer in that very hospital. I deeply empathize with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s suffering and that of his family. No one should have to die in such a manner.
That said. I believe it is hypocrisy to lionize someone simply because they have suffered and died – particularly when that person deserves no lionization at all.
Ted Kennedy was a dangerous pig. An elitist who perceived average Americans as utensils for the machinations of avaricious scoundrels like his father Joe, who was a bootlegger and Nazi sympathizer, Teddy hid his money offshore while appropriating as much of ours as he could. Throughout his political career, he crafted legislation to accomplish the worst of the worst in terms of subjugating Americans’ liberties, weakening our foreign policy, stultifying our economy and compromising our borders.
He was a murderer; he left Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in his car in 1969 whilst saving his own fat, drunken ass. He was a coward: He failed to report the accident for more than a day so as to sober up and get his story straight. He was a loud, boorish drunk, an adulterer and a womanizer.
Finally, to the end of his struggle with cancer, he connived to circumvent legal statutes he had instituted in order to keep his Senate seat within his own corrupt party.
In the practical sense, all I can say is: It’s a good day for America. Good riddance to some extremely bad rubbish.

How do they DO it?
What I'd like to know is how libs are so inerrantly right about everything. They know everything about government, they know everything about parenting (even if they've never had kids), they know everything about economics, finance - I mean, they know everything about everything, from interior decorating to geopolitics.
I mean, they went to the same schools as the rest of us. They spent just as much time there. They haven't lived any longer than anyone else, in the aggregate. Most of them have never been anywhere (except for bastions of lib dogma outside of their own lib enclaves), or done anything except for go to school and set aside for their own future.
How do they do it?
Oh... You mean it's just arrogance? You mean they don't know everything they say they do?

Sad but True
Dad links son's suicide to anti-Christian book.
Click here.
A New York man is linking the suicide of his 22-year-old son, a military veteran who had bright prospects in college, to the anti-Christian book "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins after a college professor challenged the son to read it.

And he supports voter fraud...
Felon Tony Rezko, William Ayers, the Woods Fund, Rev. Jeremiah (“God damn America!”) Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, support for Kenyan killer Raila Odinga, Nadhmi Auchi, Rashid Khalidi, the Black Panthers’ support, Louis Farrakhan’s support, mystery college transcripts, mystery college theses, mystery Harvard Law Review documents, birth certificate authenticity, the vote against funding our for troops, against the Surge after admitting it worked stance, support of George Soros and MoveOn.Org, “pro-abortion after botched abortion” stance, “Typical white person” and “guns and religion” remarks, “Dreams From My Father” (a compendium of lies), the support of terrorists (donations pouring in from the Middle East), big bucks from Fannie Mae, Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines, stance on sitting down with dictators without preconditions, “The Audacity of Hope” (racism and more lies), the Trinity United Church murders…
…and now a revelation of the Obama campaign’s $800,000 gift to ACORN, an organization that has been found criminally liable for instances of voter fraud for far Left (Democrat) candidates and causes.
Media propaganda and the death of critical thinking in our country have resulted in America’s apparent gravitation toward this sick joke of a candidate due to the current economic crisis, despite the fact that the latter can be directly traced to Democrats.
What gives? Have the vermin inherited the Earth? If not, it appears as though they are about to…

Jimmuh Carter, Barney Frank, and the Community Reinvestment Act
A must read on the forensic examination of our economy's implosion. Click here.
An excerpt from Jeff Jacoby's Boston Globe column on September 28, 2008.
The roots of this crisis go back to the Carter administration. That was when government officials, egged on by left-wing activists, began accusing mortgage lenders of racism and "redlining" because urban blacks were being denied mortgages at a higher rate than suburban whites.
The pressure to make more loans to minorities (read: to borrowers with weak credit histories) became relentless. Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act, empowering regulators to punish banks that failed to "meet the credit needs" of "low-income, minority, and distressed neighborhoods." Lenders responded by loosening their underwriting standards and making increasingly shoddy loans.
So there you have it.
