The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, was enacted to fill a 'need' to cover pre-existing conditions and provide coverage for even more procedures and conditions. The Act requires insurance companies to cover virtually every medical expense whether you need it or not. This, to me, doesn't sound … [Read more...]
What should we do with poor Blacks in America?
December 3, 2013 by 54 Comments
I only know one group of people who would even have a question like this come to mind. The "compassionate" liberally minded politician with an enlightened sense of social justice. I don't like the idea of social justice. It presumes one demographic of people is so down trodden they need someone … [Read more...]

What’s the point of bloggers deleting dissenting comments?
November 26, 2013 by 54 Comments
The first time I was told by someone that they were glad to see I don't censor or moderate dissenting comments here I was shocked to hear it was common. I was first told this by Atheists. They said it was common for other Christian bloggers to delete or not allow their comments even if they … [Read more...]
Vanity license plate censorship: 1st amendment issue or state prerogative?
November 25, 2013 by 7 Comments
I've often thought of getting a vanity license plate. Unfortunately anything I've thought of won't fit on a plate in my state due to character limitations. But some people have no problem coming up with something clever. They send their idea into the state and it goes though a revue process to … [Read more...]

If only those greedy CEOs didn’t make so much, the employees could make a better wage. Not really
November 15, 2013 by 55 Comments
Every so often someone will make some noise about how the greedy CEOs make too much and the workers don't make enough. If people would only do the math themselves, they might not repeat this vacant charge. To begin with, the median CEO salary in the US is only $750,000. Usually when people … [Read more...]

Many of the same men responsible for, and who ratified, the Constitution, specifically the first amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people … [Read more...]
What would you change in government?
November 9, 2013 by 58 Comments
If one were to believe the polls, a large majority of Americans are profoundly dissatisfied with the way the government is being run, and consequently, the direction the country is headed.

Good intentions often lead to bad laws

When Connecticut first passed new restrictions limiting magazine capacity for guns, I was able to demonstrate in just over a minute why in at least one aspect it was hastily planned. It just now occurred to me that it's even worse than I had first thought. Limiting magazine capacities to 10 rounds … [Read more...]

Mass shootings laying the ground work for anti-gun activists
November 5, 2013 by 1 Comment
The shooting at Los Angeles International Airport is only the most recent event that will inevitably trigger a demand for stricter gun laws. The move to rush through intention-driven, emotionally reactive laws in response to these kinds of tragedies may prove to be even more dangerous, and possibly … [Read more...]
Replace ObamaCare With?
November 2, 2013 by 42 Comments
I couldn't be certain, but I think the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare") is on its second to last leg. But give it credit, for such an awfully asinine law that accomplishes almost nothing to reign in health care costs, it's stuck around for awhile. Consider, too, that it … [Read more...]

Obamacare is the law of the land
October 16, 2013 by 21 Comments
But so is Roe v Wade and DOMA. And so was Dred Scott. And separate but equal and every other Jim Crow law for that matter. Laws are enacted and repealed -- well not so much repealed anymore. But simply being the law of the land doesn't entitle it from alteration or repeal. I expect my … [Read more...]
