Bart Stupak: EPA Jeopardizing Health Of Asthmatics
Apparently, asthmatics need a better lobby. For the almost 20 years I served in Congress, much of my focus was on healthcare issues and holding federal regulators accountable for ensuring the safety and well-being of Americans. Today, I represent a California company that has over one million potentially life-saving inhalers just sitting in a warehouse. ... MOREMichael J Hurd: Doctors For Socialized Medicine
Government-guaranteed insurance is like public school. This is perhaps my favorite line from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged with regard to doctors who support, or tolerate, socialized medicine: “Let them discover, in the operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man they have throttled. It is not safe, ... MORETodd Myers: Plastic Bag Bans: Another Feel-Good Eco-Fad
Banning the bags may be net negative for environment. Across the country, cities are joining the latest environmental trend – banning plastic grocery bags. Concerned about the amount of plastic that reaches our oceans and the impact on wildlife, communities have decided that banning the bags is a simple and environmentally responsible ... MOREMan Spends 4 Months In Jail Because Cops Lied Under Oath
Watch the video that exposed them. Rochester, NY Police officers Rob Osipovitch and Ryan Hartley, falsely accused Mr. Barideaux of failing to come to a complete stop in order to have a reason to pull him over. But thanks to the power of video, Osipovitch and Hartley never stopped to think that City of Rochester traffic cameras were recording the whole ... MOREThomas Sowell: Milton Friedman Sorely Needed Today
A believer in the power of freedom. If Milton Friedman were alive today – and there was never a time when he was more needed – he would be 100 years old. He was born on July 31, 1912. But Professor Friedman's death at age 94 deprived the nation of one of those rare thinkers who had both genius and common sense. Most people would not be able to understand ... MORERonald Bailey: Government Did Not Build Your Business
No surprise, Obama is wrong again. “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” declared President Barack Obama at a campaign stop last week in Virginia. Evidently, the president believes that economic growth and job creation are largely the result of actions taken by benevolent government agencies. ... MOREWalter E Williams: How Times Have Changed
A devolving society. Having been born in 1936 has allowed me to witness both societal progress and retrogression. High on the list of things made better in our society are the great gains in civil liberties and economic opportunities, especially for racial minorities and women. People who are now deemed poor have a level of material wealth that would ... MORENanny Bloomberg Pushes Breast-feeding On New Moms
He wants NYC hospitals to hide the baby formula. The nanny state is going after moms. Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed. Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive ... MORE
Larry Doyle: Is Free Enterprise Still Free?
You might want to ask Chick-fil-A. I do not find it surprising that certain political leaders in our nation easily lash out in threatening fashion to those running a free enterprise. Why am I not surprised? In the “Uncle Sam” economy that permeates our nation, the violation of contracts and property rights has become increasingly prevalent. In that vein, we should ... MORE
