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

America’s Dark, Green Future

…n predict the weather 1000 or 10, 000 years from now. Oh, and if you don’t comply — well you’re also a “racist.” Why not throw that in? Since that unearned guilt has worked with absolutely everything else, just as COVID did. Marxists in universities, going back to the 1970s and 1980s if not before, reasoned that America could have a Communist revolution, not as Russia and China did, but through the green movement. And they are succeeding. The over… 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

…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.

“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

Caveat emptor! 5) Psychiatry and psychology are not exact sciences. It’s true that medications do very real things to your brain,… 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. The more we drift away from our own reasoning and thinking, our intellectual and psychological independence, the less sane and calm we all become. 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

Labeling People is Not a Solution

…tribute to emotional states. So, is the writer’s relative making an excuse simply because she honestly acknowledges having bipolar symptoms? Not necessarily. The label is relevant, but it’s not the crucial issue with respect to personal responsibility. The crucial issue is whether she allows herself to recognize her free will and her choice to validate or refute basic ideas. More important than the psychiatric label du jour is the individual’s phi… Continue reading
