Remember what I said about Islamofacism being a problem? This right here, is what am referring to. This comes via Facebook: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaFwKp9OdTc] Now, do I agree with what this guy is saying? Pretty much, yes. he is correct about the moderate Muslims and their cowardice. Wild Bill for America’s Website Wild Bill for America’s YouTube [...]

I hate having to write blog entries like this; mainly, because I happen to like Rick Perry. However, because I am a blogger of the truth — and because I do not want to see Rick Perry wounded in the election. I am bringing this point up. Rick Perry has a religious wacko problem and [...]

I feel the need to write about something, which has been bugging me for a while now. I had always known that there was a certain subset of the Conservative movement, which was Anti-Semitic and racist. However, I felt that I could disagree with those people and still call myself a Paleo-Conservative. Indeed, I do [...]

Sarah Palin once again is opening her mouth, before engaging her brain: Barack Obama’s big government policies continue to fail. He should put a link to the national debt clock on his BlackBerry. The gears on that clock have nearly exploded during his administration. Yesterday’s terrible job numbers should not be a surprise because it [...]

In this thread here yesterday, some idiot did a drive by and claimed that Al-Qaeda did not exist. I deleted it, because it sounded so stupid. I wish now that I kept it. Anyhow, here we go: (CNN) — Yemeni security forces abandoned a key coastal city to Islamic militants, residents of the city told [...]

First there is this from The Hill: President Obama needs to start acting like a Democrat by not caving for a second time and allowing the George W. Bush-era tax rates on the wealthy to expire, according to a founding member of the House Progressive Caucus. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) said on MSNBC Monday night [...]

I humbly suggest to all, myself included emphatically, that we just don’t see the entire picture as clearly as we need to. It is complex beyond anything one can see in smaller, more accessible systems like computer software (my choice for analogy, since I’m a software developer and system engineer), and those require dozens of [...]

One last post on international comparisons, and I will stop beating this dead horse. T.R. Reid has a great article in the Washington Post debunking myths about health care in foreign countries. Key quotes…… It’s all socialized medicine out there. Not so. Some countries, such as Britain, New Zealand and Cuba, do provide health care [...]

1) Establish a strict meritocracy for health care professionals, and subsidize the cost of their training including specialties. 2) Compensate health care professionals in a retention-mode fashion, by paying them at least enough to keep them in the face of competition. A good physician will be motivated to be one, instead of eyeing other opportunities [...]
