Why is it that the same morons who want to outlaw abortion also want to make it impossible for teens to be properly informed about contraception or to obtain contraceptives?

I am now thinking that perhaps Obamacare is not such a bad thing. Certainly the bureaucracy which will run Obamacare will be no different than the Post Office and so in this regard we can expect to lose some 25 to 30 percent of those who are truly sick simply from incompetence and stupidity.

Indonesians believe rail therapy is effective in fighting gout, rheumatism, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity.

One of the problems with socialized medicine is that once the private medical system is destroyed it's hard to go back when the state system fails.

So if you listen to WABC Radio 77 in New York you most likely have heard the infomercial on Vitamin D from Dr John Cannell where he will send you a free bottle of his Vitamin D for only $4.95 in shipping. But do not do this. It is a waste of money.

when you hear the silly assertion that the state can make you get car insurance and therefore it can make you get health insurance, simply ask if the state can make you buy car insurance if you don't have a car. Obviously the answer is no.

When I was younger, I shined shoes, delivered newspapers, and worked in my father's dry-goods store. In all these endeavors I needed to be a good salesman. Contrary to the notion that successful selling requires one to be dishonest, I have found that when you love what you do and you are passionate about the products or services you sell, then by force of your good character you will be successful.

We'll hear from people like Bruce Tower. Tower has prostate cancer. He wanted to take a drug that showed promise against his cancer, but the Food and Drug Administration would not allow it. One bureaucrat told him the government was protecting him from dangerous side effects. Tower's outraged response was: "Side effects -- who cares? Every treatment I've had I've suffered from side effects. If I'm terminal, it should be my option to endure any side effects."

What is it about certain people who are a danger to others that they arrogantly deny the harm they pose and defy the rules and regulations society has designed to minimize that danger? In a previous post I related the story of Mary Mallon who, despite being informed she was a carrier of Typhoid fever, defiantly continued to cook for others and continued to spread the disease.

If my state has stupid, needless and costly requirements on local insurance companies that mandates they must offer some absurd treatment I don't want, need or can afford, I can buy coverage much cheaper from an insurance company located in a state whose insurance division isn't run by morons.

Obama as the grim reaper (health care death panels)

I like to think I am consistent in my beliefs. I am opposed to the death penalty because I do not believe it is wise to grant government the right to kill its citizens. I do not trust our government to be able to administer the death penalty fairly or justly. Indeed, we are currently releasing dozens of innocent men who have spent many years in prison for murders they did not commit.

Reserve bank of Zimbabwe, 100 Trillion dollars

I say, don't worry. If Obama continues with his socialist policies which mimics those of another moron who doesn't know what he's doing, namely, Executive President Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, then there will be no problem paying trillions of dollars for Universal Health Care: we will simply issue a few banknotes to cover the costs

I propose that every man woman and child old enough to drive in their state be required to buy car insurance. Violators would be fined and or jailed. Those that cannot afford it would be able to put in for the government option.
