Washington Bureaucrats Big Health Insurance Lie

You have heard it said a thousand times, spewing forth from the mouths of Washington bureaucrats and politicos (notably Democrats), the Whitehouse inner circle, the liberal media and, of course, President Obama, that the number of chronically uninsured in America is 46 million, or is it 47 million Americans.  This is usually followed by a statement of pseudo-outrage that this must be stopped and all Americans must be covered with health insurance.  But are these numbers correct and is this outrageous bravado on behalf of the uninsured justified?

Disappearing Western Society

Abortion, homosexuality and Islam: what do they all have in common?  They are three 21st Century forces that are rapidly changing the demographics and culture of Western society.

Change is coming, but it is not the type of change that most in Europe, North America, Australia or even Russia are looking for in the near future.

The Problem With the U.S. Constitution

Our Constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.  John Adams

The problem with the Constitution of the United States of America is, indeed, that it was conceived and formulated by God-fearing men, who, while not perfect, had a high degree of morality and integrity.  They were men from diverse backgrounds, but statesmen who sought the common good for the common people.  They could not conceive of an America that would degenerate into an immoral and irreligious citizenry that would lust after the sinful nature of man.

What do you mean “we”?

In the Lone Ranger television series that ran from 1949 to 1957, the Lone Ranger had an Indian sidekick named Tonto.  The joke of the day was when the two were surrounded by hostile Indian warriors the Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, “What are we going to do now?”  To which Tonto replied, “What do you mean we, kemosabi?”

Last week while in the 99.6% Muslim nation of Turkey, President Barack Obama made the widely controversial and highly offensive (to some) statement that, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”  To which many in the United States have retorted, “What do you mean we?”

Has Shari’a Law Come to Minnesota?

Recently it was reported in the state of Minnesota that Somali Muslims were successful in getting the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to agree to a program that would allow Minnesota Muslims to purchase homes with zero percent mortgages.  The reasoning offered by Muslim leaders to Minnesota authorities as to the need for such a home buying program was that Shari’a (Islamic) law prohibited Muslims from paying interest to buy homes, cars or any item that could be potentially financed.  But is this premise true?  Does Shari’a law prescribe Muslims to reject the payment of interest?

Politicians’ AIG Outrage Rings Hollow

I’m not sure what is more sickening, the audacity of AIG in the midst of near bankruptcy to pay out $165 million in bonuses, or the politicians in Washington falling all over themselves rushing to the podium to proclaim their outrage over such bonuses.

Where was their outrage when they were freely using taxpayer billions to bailout the mis-managed corporate money-grabbers?  Where was their outrage when they gladly accepted their automatic raises as a reward for leading this country into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

Is Islam God’s Choice to Purify the World?

Recently I attended a presentation entitled, “Is Islam in the Bible”, at a local church.  It was presented by Stephen Dickie, a self-published author of a little known book, Islam: God’s Forgotten Blessing.

It did not take me long to grow uncomfortable.  Not because of the topic of Islam but because of the biblical presumptions he presented.

Mr. Dickie was quick to put forth his own biblical interpretation that Islam was and is part of God’s design for the world.

Obama’s Ponzi Scheme

No doubt you have heard about the recent conviction of Bernard Madoff, the Wall Street guru who swindled an estimated $50 billion from investors around the world – many who were certainly smart enough to make their own fortunes but decided to turn the management of some or all of their fortunes over to Madoff.   Madoff in turn used a sophisticated Ponzi scheme to give investors the illusion of increased wealth.

The Precipitous Downward Spiral

I hate being the bearer of bad news, I really do.  But the tough reality is, that there is virtually no good news.  This “recession” is being compared by some to the steep recession of the early 1980s.   Time has a way of fogging our memories and coming up with the wrong comparisons.  George Santayana penned an often used quotation in his book, The Life of Reason (1905), that,  “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Obama’s Goal of Serfdom

It has only been a little over a month since Barack Obama took office as the President of the United States of America.  But already his agenda has been made clear:  Move America into a socialistic serfdom with all due haste. Total dependence on government will be the norm.  Only the federal government has the answers and can solve all of America’s ills and the all too gullible and desperate American electorate hangs on the messiah’s every word of glitz and glimmer.
