Nobel Peace Prize?

I get up and check the headlines every morning. This morning I about fell out of my chair. Our illustrious, wet-behind-the-ears president was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. "A beaming Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he wasn't sure he had done enough to earn the award, or deserved to be in the company of the others who had won it before him." (AP, today) Truer words were never spoken, by Obama. Although I do have to disagree about the "company" he's now in. He is perfectly in line with the sham winners that precede him: Yasser Arafat, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter. Arafat--who never did anything but subvert the peace process with Israel and line his pockets with the world's money; Carter--who is arguably the worst president in U.S. history; and Gore--who pounced on the fraudulent global warming movement and is getting rich doing it.

And actually, I guess I disagree with Obama's entire statement (that's odd). He HAS done enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He has spent the first few months of his reign giving speeches all over the world apologizing for the horrible, stinking, awful United States of America. He has promised to cripple our economy by bowing to the world-wide green movement and disarm us as quickly as possible. Now I know how to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Obviously the elite intelligentsia in Europe could not wait to crown him--they probably made their decision the night he was elected--and they couldn't be happier to finally see this kind of "leadership" at the helm of the United States. This is not an honor. If it is recognizing Obama for finally meeting the world's standards, then I'm ashamed and embarrassed for our country. We are in deep trouble and there isn't enough Dramamine in the world to keep me from spending the day vomiting.

So What Can We Do?

I have spent a lot of time picking apart the liberal plan for reforming health care in the U.S. I do not have any confidence in a government that cannot run anything cheaply or efficiently. They are the last people I would trust to manage one sixth of our economy--I wouldn't trust them to do my lawn care. So, it's high time to talk about what can and should be done instead. Here are some ideas that would go a long way to lowering the cost of health care for everyone without a government takeover of health care. 1) Individual responsibility: As with anything in life, when we are directly responsible for the outcomes of our decisions, we are better for it, individually and as a society. That responsibility includes being accountable for our life choices, the amount of risks we take and paying our bills. It seems like a no-brainer doesn't it? Unfortunately, we have gotten away from that thinking in reference to our health care. If I choose to have multiple sexual partners, why...

Flawed Arguments and Stubborn Facts

My last post addressed some of the things we can do to improve health care without government involvement. I got a few comments, but wanted to address a couple in particular. These comments brought up issues that are worthy of response. One of the comments is as follows: " I would like to direct your attention to the writers first stated premise - there is no trust in the government with one sixth of our economy. My question is, how did it become one sixth of the economy? With every step of a 'free' enterprise system being everything but free, freedom is placed upon the back of those who are a dwindling base of contributors to support the greediness of astronomical proportions and the government is the recipient of easy target fingerpointing. If we insist on blaming government for a sick system, we are trying to fix the wrong problems." My initial reply was the following: "There are many causes of the problems in medical care which I have also written about on m...

National Lack of Integrity

According to dictionary.com the definition of integrity is: "adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty". Integrity in politics is becoming more scarce than ice cubes in hell. For example, a Huffington Post blog on why people really hate Hillary, was recently shared on Facebook. This blog post was one of the most egregious examples I have ever seen of felony intellectual fraud. The sum and substance of this blog excused everything St. Hillary the Martyr has ever done, or been accused of, because Trump is SO much worse. It then concluded that the real reason people hate her is because she's a woman. I'm not sure if I was more disturbed by the violent dry-heaving caused by this tripe or the fact that someone who I respect, who is smart and accomplished actually believes and shared it. If ever there were a more glaring example of the systemic loss of national integrity in the United States, it is the Presidential Election of 2016. ...
