President Newt or President Mitt?

Posted on December 5, 2011 by D3 Support

Thinking in Absolutes: Healthier Than You Realize (Part 3 of 3)

Posted on December 4, 2011 by D3 Support

Thinking in Absolutes: Healthier Than You Realize (Part 2 of 3)

Posted on December 3, 2011 by D3 Support

Mencken writes: ‘What is the chief mark of such a good man? That he cannot differentiate rationally between sin and sin—that a gnat gags him as badly as a camel. So with poor Gray. His initial peccadillo shocked him so … Continue reading →

The Food Police and “Occupy Wall St.” Are Similar

Posted on November 30, 2011 by D3 Support

The First Lady shrieks about American obesity every chance she gets. (Maybe she should get her husband to quit smoking first.) Some child and nutritional advocates are pushing for legislation to require fast food chain restaurants with at least 20 … Continue reading →

ObamaCare: The “Final Solution” for the Enslavement of Medicine

Posted on November 29, 2011 by D3 Support

A DrHurd.com reader writes: Sometime in 2012, the Supreme Court will have an opportunity to strike down the corrupt and unconstitutional ObamaCare law. Will they? There’s no way of knowing. In theory, the 5-4 conservative majority should strike it down. … Continue reading →

The Game of Government Monopoly Has Got to End

Posted on November 28, 2011 by D3 Support

Honk if You Love Communism

Posted on November 27, 2011 by D3 Support

Occupy Wall Street protestors scream about “unfair advantages.” They claim it’s unfair for some people to make a profit, while others do not. Everybody should be equal, regardless of effort, ability or anything else. Yet Occupy Wall Street, as a … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving For the Best Within Us

Posted on November 24, 2011 by D3 Support

Thanksgiving, we’re told, is a time to be thankful. Though that sounds very nice, it’s a bit too general for my taste. In an effort to be more specific, I like to look at Thanksgiving as a time of perspective: … Continue reading →

The Stupid President and The Stupid Party

Posted on November 23, 2011 by D3 Support
