Freedom in America at a Crossroads

Posted on June 25, 2009 by D3 Support

Republicans are the party of Big Government. Democrats are the party of Huge Government. Big Government–meaning government intervention in the economy, subsidizing of private business, and micromanaging regulation of business–fails every time it’s tried. When Big Government fails, this provides … Continue reading →

Complain, Complain

Posted on June 24, 2009 by D3 Support

If you think about it, complaining usually makes no sense. To “complain” means to repeatedly state a fact that something is negative. But if you can do something to alter that negative fact, there’s no point talking about it–simply change … Continue reading →

The Limits of Morality–As We Know It

Posted on June 23, 2009 by D3 Support

A world in which everyone takes care of everyone else, and nobody takes care of himself–is a world that will perish. A world in which everyone takes care of him- or herself is a world from which everyone benefits. If … Continue reading →

Not the “Change” Poor Mr. Obama Had In Mind…

Posted on June 22, 2009 by D3 Support

With respect to Iran, Barack Obama is another Jimmy Carter–with one important difference. When Iran blew up back in the 1970s, Jimmy Carter could at least rationalize that the people wanted the religious dictatorship to replace the U.S.-backed Shah. Today, … Continue reading →

The Economy is not a “Patient”

Posted on June 21, 2009 by D3 Support

I don’t understand this metaphor of the “ailing American economy.” It’s the metaphor of the economy as a sick “patient.” People take one of two positions. One position is for government, as “doctor,” to intervene and cure the patient. The … Continue reading →

Absolutely Sure

Posted on June 20, 2009 by D3 Support

Absolute certainty IS possible. This is self-evident. If it weren’t, then you’d be forced to claim: “I’m absolutely certain that absolute certainty is impossible.” Or, you’d be forced to claim: “I’m certain that I can be certain of nothing.” At … Continue reading →

Separate–but Unequal–Coverage

Posted on June 19, 2009 by D3 Support

Here’s an interesting question others have raised: Will members of Congress and the government be covered by the same public insurance plan soon to be imposed on the rest of us? Of course, the answer is NO. Members of Congress … Continue reading →

“Change” from WHAT to WHAT?

Posted on June 18, 2009 by D3 Support

A new poll is showing that a majority of people don’t think President Obama is being tough enough on North Korea. Could this be an early indication that the “change” people were seeking in the last election wasn’t in favor … Continue reading →

Doctors: Stand Up to the Political Bullies

Posted on June 17, 2009 by D3 Support

Physicians and other medical professionals have the power to bring down socialized medicine–socialized medicine as we know it, and as its expansion is being proposed. They can do so by simply saying, “Enough. Government does not own my skills. Government has … Continue reading →

The “Threat” of Interpersonal Anxiety

Posted on June 16, 2009 by D3 Support

Social or interpersonal anxiety is a message that ‘there’s a threat,’ but the anxiety is mistaken. The signal in your mind got mixed up, because it all happens so quickly. Your mind sends you the signal: ‘threat.’ In reality, there’s … Continue reading →

“The Utopia of Damned Fools”

Posted on June 15, 2009 by D3 Support

“Of such sort are the wizards who now run the country. Here is the perfect pattern of a professional world-saver. His whole life has been devoted to the art and science of spending other people’s money … Such is government … Continue reading →

Competitive Socialism

Posted on June 14, 2009 by D3 Support

The President says he doesn’t want a government takeover of medicine; he just wants government to be able to “compete” with the private sector. Now think about this for a minute. Imagine two local hardware stores competing with one another … Continue reading →
