    Healthcare and the Delaware

    Posted By freesnake on December 30, 2009

    As Christmas 2009 came and went and I reflected on the Senate vote of Christmas Eve, my mind turned to a story first heard as a child- and the famous painting of it- Washington Crossing the Delaware. (more…)

    John Cline and the lake

    Posted By freesnake on October 29, 2009

    The Star recently published a well written editorial “Cline’s goal, sadly, comes up dry.” A strong point was made that unfortunately, Cleveland County should walk away from the plan of a reservoir in the northern part of the county.

    John was a visionary. He understood better than most (and before any) that Cleveland County could not grow and flourish without jobs; that jobs came from industry; and that industry would not come to Cleveland County without the (more…)

    How the Freedom to Contract Protects Insurability

    Posted By freesnake on September 16, 2009

    Suppose you ran a restaurant that offered an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. For a modest price, customers could help themselves to as much as they wanted from a variety of your dishes. But you also set certain restrictions—for instance, customers were forbidden to share their food with other customers or take food off the premises (no “doggie bags”). Most people would find such rules completely reasonable.

    Read the full article at The Objectivst Standard.

    Rachael Meddow and Congressman Weiner

    Posted By freesnake on September 9, 2009

    Periodically I watch MSNBC. It helps me to ground myself; sometimes I feel like I’m a radical- part of Hillary’s “Right Wing Conspiracy”. MSNBC establishes my objection to the federal government as truly American.

    Tonight, Rachael Maddow referred to me as a “tenther”- one who actually believes that the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution prevents the federal government from taking over nearly (more…)

    The rectangle said: September 2.

    Posted By freesnake on September 2, 2009

    “It was a calendar the mayor of New York had erected last year on the top of a building, so that citizens might tell the day of the month as they told the hours of the day, by glancing up at a public tower. A white rectangle hung over the city, imparting the date to the men in the streets below. In the rusty light of this evening’s sunset, the rectangle said: September 2.”

    On this day, the greatest story of the century begin with the question (more…)

    Is the GOP prepared to lead?

    Posted By freesnake on August 22, 2009

    Every day, I hear people discuss the need for change. Every poll that I have seen overwhelmingly suggests that the vast majority of people believe that we are on the wrong track. The President’s approval ratings are falling, though his popularity remains high; Congress’ is in the tank, and Governor Perdue has lost all credibility in North Carolina by continuing to argue for increased taxes in spite of her campaign statements.

    Obama offered change, and by gosh, we got it. But it was not the change America thought it to be. So what is it the people of the nation and the state searching for? We The People seek (more…)

    Clunkers, Health Care and Uncle Sam

    Posted By freesnake on August 20, 2009

    Have you noticed any correlation between the “Cash for Clunkers” program and health care reform?

    Some months ago, there was a crisis in America: US auto makers were in trouble. Uncle Sam’s solution was to provide billions of dollars to carry Chrysler and GM through the troubled times. This did not prevent the bankruptcy of both companies and the subsequent revision of bankruptcy law to (more…)
