Our economic problems rightfully dominate the news. However, they are
merely symptoms of a bigger, underlying problem: government.
For many, the previous paragraph is heresy. They "know" that government is
necessary and good. They "know" that government solves problems and brings
order to the chaos that would prevail in its absence. "They" are wrong!
Government has become little more than a carefully crafted myth based on
propaganda disseminated by government itself. It has... 阅读全帖 |

There are many myths that proponents of socialized medicine commonly use to
advance their cause. One thing that is true, however, is that rising costs
are a major flaw in the current system. In due time, this problem could
well constitute a "crisis."
There are many different ways to combat rising costs: rationing and price

You have to hand it to Barack Obama. He has unmasked in the most
thoroughgoing way the despotic propensities of the administrative
entitlements state and of the Democratic Party. And now he has done
something similar to the hierarchy of the American Catholic Church. At the
prospect that institutions associated with the Catholic Church would be
required to offer to their employees health insurance covering contraception
and abortifacients, the bishops, priests,... 阅读全帖 |

Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) has done his job; and he’s done it well. He’s
maintained the New York City that Mayor Rudy Guiliani (R) created during the
1990’s. After a special election and winning a third term as mayor,
Bloomberg has officially outlived his usefulness as Mayor. Some Bloomberg
initiatives that have recently sparked controversy are his proposed ban on
large, sugary beverages and his breastfeeding-only hospital restriction. As
a man who once claimed to be a republi... 阅读全帖 |

It has been interesting to hear the arguments being made in support of same
sex marriage these last few days as the Supreme Court heard oral arguments
concerning California’s proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage
Act(DOMA). There has been a social media campaign on this subject with
supporters of redefining the word marriage changing their profile pictures
to an equal sign or the words “marriage equality”. Protest have tak... 阅读全帖 |

by Tyler Durden
From: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-08-03/egypt-verge-engineered-civil-war
For thousands of years, Egypt has been one of the primary pillars of the
Eastern world. When Egypt falls into turmoil, a shockwave is felt by all
other nations that heralds great change and perhaps even great catastrophe.
The West's longtime interest in maintaining a solid foothold in Egypt is
based on this reality; even in our modern age, when Egypt is i... 阅读全帖 |
