I talked with a friend Wednesday, who I had not talked to for a couple of years. We talked several times over the next two and he questioned why I had not sent him any rants lately.

While reading an article on a web site I stumbled onto called Ace of Spades HQ, posted by no less than ACE, I was reminded of a similar rant of mine where I complained about the Democrat whining about Republican hindrance. Ace’s article corrects people who think President Obama is the anti-Christ. The article is interesting and I encourage you to read it, but he summed it up by saying, “Satan would not be such a [screw] up.” http://ace.mu.nu/archives/297344.php My original point was that is must be horrible to be a liberal/progressive/collectivist with things going so badly. Occasionally I comment about how they tend to eat each other when in charge. Part of the reason is that they each think that their own issue is the only important one but the principles they insist further their interests actually hinder the agenda of other liberal/progressive/collectivists. How is related to President Obama not qualifying as the antichrist? They are both explained by the idea behind the phrase, “We hold these truths to be self evident.” Health needs have existed longer than there has been an American medical industry. People have died of cancer and heart disease far longer than we have known of their existence. So what has changed? Technology. When it was common for a doctor to visit the sick’s home and order, “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning,” aspirin was the state of the medical art. How ridiculous would it seem if the people of that age complained that access to aspirin was a basic human right, to be provided by the government at taxpayer expense? How ludicrous would it have seemed if someone would have suggested that we all pay taxes to hire people to buy the aspirin from Bayer and then deliver it to us for “free”? That generation would have wrinkled their noses at such a suggestion and said, “No thank you, I can buy my own aspirin.” Continue reading Take two aspirin and meet me at the DMV in the morning. |
