Do We Fear Exceptionalism?

Where it began, I don’t know. Perhaps we can’t even put a finger on it. Somewhere between here and there America has lost her exceptionalism. Being exceptional sets something or someone apart from all others. Dare we utter the fact that were it not for exceptional people America would not exist today? Why have we grown to fear being exceptional? Why do we now see such blessings from God as amiss?

I’m sure it began long before our obsession with self-esteem. So consumed we became with making sure our kids’ feelings were never hurt, we lost all reason and understanding and began teaching that exceptionalism wasn’t “fair”. (Oh, there’s the four-letter word that should be banned.) Read more

Cass Sunstein And His Internet Mandates

Because you are stupid, Cass Sunstein, Obama’s Regulatory Czar, thinks you don’t know how to use the Internet for reading, gathering information and disseminating it.

Picture this if you will. One day you sit down to your computer and log onto your favorite website. That of course would be the Black Bear Blog. There you find a story about 300 scientists who have gathered in Chicago to discuss the prospects of global cooling, update everyone on the fallout from Climategate and provide the best available science about our changing climate. In the middle of your reading, this annoying bubble keeps popping up trying to tell you that if you go over to the website Climate Debate Daily, you’ll get an opposing view. Read more

After I Make Enough Money, I’ll Give The Rest Away!

Barack Obama recently said that “at some point you have made enough money”. Who says? Obviously one man with an over inflated ego and a bent on the destruction of capitalism and “trickle down” wealth. Regardless of whether you or I think someone else has made enough money, why should a third party get to decide?

It angers me to no end when I hear friends and relatives sitting around bemoaning someone’s wealth. I don’t get it. Is this because of jealousy, resentment, disrespect or what? And of course in these flip conversations comes out the profound that anyone who made money did so by screwing their friends and neighbors. We know this is not true. (Exceptions to everything, so give it a rest.) Read more

The Struggle To Define Tea Party Continues

Examine the photo shown below and then tell yourself or anyone near you what you see. Well, what do you see? Do you see a black box or do you see something else? My son told me once that in a writing class he took in college, the professor said a good writer could look at a tree and write endlessly. Is the same true for this black box? Read more

Obama’s Radical Pick To Run Medicare/Medicaid

President Obama has nominated socialist/communist Donald Berwick to head up Medicare and Medicaid. What will we hear and how will he be questioned when he heads into his confirmation hearings. This is what the Obama radical had to say in 2008, when speaking in Britain, to the English about their choices for socialized medicine.

“Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional. Britain, you chose well.”

Here’s that video:

You Can Cough Up Another $150-$250 A Month For Obama Can’t You?

Ok! So, you know the drill. Everyday you sit down to your computer and check your email. Most everything in it isn’t anything you want. Mixed in with all the other stuff are also many emails that make us angry and that we find outrageous. This is, of course, the intent of those emails. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on one’s perspective, the majority of those emails are bogus. Most believe what they read and don’t bother to do any checking to see if it is the truth.

Judge Andrew Napolitano Explains Why Obamacare Violates Constitution

Dick Durbin’s “The Country We Want to Have”

Obamacare = Marxcare = Loss Of Liberty

Forget, if you can for a moment, whether Obamacare will save money or provide cheaper insurance premiums, better or worse quality of care or that the passage of this bill will finish off the U.S. economy. The biggest thing that’s wrong with Obamacare is that it is a government run program being forced on the American people. The government can’t run the Postal Service, it has failed miserably with Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid and nearly every single program the United States Government has gotten its hands on has failed and yet somehow a handful of Marxists/Pelosiists are trying to convince us it will be alright. Attached also to Obamacare is a provision that allows the Federal Government to now control student loans. What could possibly go wrong? You want choice in education? It isn’t going to happen now.

Who Do We Blame For Our New Socialized Health Care?

Liberals in general blame George W. Bush for everything in their lives they dislike or consider a failure. I nearly succumbed to such trivial and meaningless thinking, half with an upturned corner of my mouth and half out of anger and frustration.

Let’s face it. We now have Obamacare because we voted for him to be president out of hatred toward George W. Bush. However, electing Barack Hussein Obama only expedited the inevitable. You and I have sat on our hands for so long now, allowing laws to be passed in this land that are contrary to the U.S. Constitution. I know of nobody in Washington that evens considers the Constitution a worthy document.

This may be our last chance to reverse the tide. If we continue to elect representatives who view our Constitution as nothing but old, worthless history, our future is doomed and will be short lived. We can turn this around but it can’t happen on its own.

ObamaCare Would Cause Long Waits and Rationed Care, Says New Study

Photo from fOTOGLIF

Washington, D.C.: ObamaCare would drive practicing doctors out of business and suppress the recruitment of new physicians, resulting in long waits and rationed care for health care consumers.

So concludes a new paper “ObamaCare Would Drive Doctors Out of Business” by Matt Patterson, health policy analyst for the National Center For Public Policy Research.

Among the findings: Read more
