Truth And Common Sense

Outside seeing a bunch of radical Muslims ducking flying pork sausages, which frankly is just funny, this is an insightful moment if you are paying attention.  Why? Simple, a small group of radical Muslims, with the title of their group saying it all, grasp what this whole mess is about better than our government and [...]

The Brits are great for showing the wave of the future.  For example,  things like socialized medicine leading to young men dying of dehydration in the middle of a hospital as one recent incident revealed.  Now they remind us why letting “global warming” nutcases run the economy is a bad idea.   Here’s the jist of [...]

It sounded like fun.  Of course our more refined cousins did with the typical British reserve.  They didn’t throw tea overboard, they drank it and talked about the problems they faced in a cultured and disciplined manner. However, they feel the same way about taxes and bad spending as we do, which is encouraging.   One [...]

I caught a piece of this yesterday.  Today, Rush read another article where the story comes into a little better light.  First, the woman HAD employee insurance when she first became ill.  Her mother said she was reluctant to go to the doctor (HER CHOICE!!), even when the illness started making her loss work time.  [...]

The kid, 22, dies of dehydration in a hospital.   Died of thirst.  No kidding.  In a hospital, in a city, in an civilized nation.   According to the story, the kid even called the police in desperation, and the police responded, only to be told the situation was under control.  Which means the issue had to [...]

This is an article and a wiki explanation of the new British Supreme Court that went into effect this year.  I didn’t even know about this but find it fascinating.   Apparently, the Brits figured that the current system (and I’m no expert in explaining their system so bear with me) did not have enough separation [...]

That was my first thought.  Obama is so dead set on making a good impression on the third world countries he is ignoring Britain.  Maybe he doesn’t like the criticism he is getting from the Brits in politics and in the press.  Maybe he is just a vain, shallow man impressed with only himself, like [...]

Just a quick note on the argument I had with a poster.  He had trouble, assuming he was serious, understanding how socialized medicine can cripple a nation and its military.  Here is an article, one of many, describing another failure.
Currently, according to Michael Yon’s reports, the U.S. is providing a great deal of the air [...]

Even though Glover admits there are weaknesses in the system, he says there is no way Britain can ever rid itself of it. Why? The biggest employer of the slack hearted, bored bureaucrats/medical personnel is socialized medicine. They surely aren’t going to vote in anyone that will mess with their livelihood, and [...]

I can’t believe the Brits have lost their sense of freedom to this extent.  It is shocking to say the least.
