America Can’t Afford the Affordable Care Act

…. Of course, the people who hate private property and free enterprise will simply blame the for-profit sector for everything. ‘Those greedy businesses shouldn’t be doing this.’ Seriously? They shouldn’t be trying to make a profit? Why not? That’s what the private, for-profit sector does. That’s the only ways jobs are created. Plus: If you take the risk and do the work, you deserve that profit. You see, it’s easy for politicians to pass a law and t… Continue reading

Obamacare-Lite Will Bring Down Republicans

…the Congress and the White House now — and ran on that claim — then you’d simply repeal Obamacare. If your “stake” is continued power for its own sake — which will surely run out as your core base abandons you — then I suppose you could say Ryan’s and Trump’s political future depends on this watered down socialist scheme working. But why are the careers of politicians any of our concern? Republicans promised to repeal Obamacare. Some made noises… Continue reading

Is “Agree to Disagree” Really Possible? (DE Coast Press)

…here is a point that two people reach when the gap between their values is simply too wide. She asks where that line is, and whom she should remove from her life and whom she should keep. The conventional wisdom is, “Why, it’s selfish to think about whom you should keep in your life.” People come up with this holier-than-thou reasoning and then proceed to act on their emotions anyway by cutting people out of their lives without giving a reason – e… Continue reading

How to Handle Obnoxious People (DE Coast Press)

…ike to achieve with your association. Remind yourself that you might not accomplish any of them, but that’s OK because next year you can vote for somebody different. If you try to keep in mind that you and he might actually share a few goals in common, then work together on those. In the interest of getting things done, compliment and flatter him if you like.

“Fauxcahontas” and the Idiocy She Represents

…flaw. Achievements and flaws have to do with your character, choices and accomplishments, not your racial heritage. It’s warped to claim it’s a virtue to be of a certain racial heritage. Yet Warren, like her socialist and collectivist brethren, appears to assume that being a Native-American is an achievement — and then goes on to claim that she did not benefit from it, while disregarding evidence conflicting with her claim that she’s Native-Americ… Continue reading

What Causes Self-Righteousness?

…eftists? Trump supporters? Social media? Who or what is to blame?” For the complete answer, you have to look a little deeper.

What’s happening in the world at large is merely a symptom of what too many of us have permitted as individuals … to lose our reason. Self-righteousness is anxiety masquerading a… Continue reading

America’s “New Normal”

…rs seem to believe that so long as things don’t get too bad, then we can’t complain. ‘As long as I still have my job, it’s OK.’ It’s ironic, because the very same people we vote into office or consider as moral leaders condemn Americans every chance they get for ‘selfishness.’ Every holiday, it’s either the Pope or the President shouting, ‘Selfishness is bad. America is the most selfish of all. Get yourself to a soup kitchen, at once!’ Yet isn’t t… Continue reading

Smartphones Are Killing Teenagers’ Memories, New Research Claims

…ponents, to be sure — are all that make your computers run, and the vastly complex software running the machines has nothing to do with it. “The most relevant exposure source to the brain is the use of a mobile phone close to the head,” the statement added. “Several studies have been conducted to identify potential health effects related to RF-EMF, though results have remained inconclusive.” Doesn’t the inconclusiveness of this research suggest ot… Continue reading
