Quote Of The Day: The Danger Ahead

Q&A Friday #95: Is Healthcare A Right?

Question: “Is healthcare a “right” or a “responsibility”? — rrobin Answer: There is no such thing as a “right” that other people have to pay for.

The Law of Unintended Consequences Strikes Again

And look how it has manifested itself this time: Nebraska’s “safe haven” law, intended to allow parents to anonymously hand over an infant to a hospital without being prosecuted, isn’t working out as planned.

Intellectualism & Sarah Palin: Or How The Smarty Pants Set Are Threatened By Someone Who Knows Sense

Sarah Palin inspires vitriol for many reasons among the smug knobby-headed class.

“God will choose the next president,” said a visiting acquaintance today. And she’s reading prophecies, too. She also mentioned that an extremely socially conservative person was voting for Obama because the person was employed by the federal government and freaked out when McCain mentioned freezing the federal government.
