Oil Dollars Changing American History

Mulder

When you can donate $20M to an American university like Georgetown or Harvard, it gets you some pull.  The only things I have to say after watching this short YouTube clip of a news program are:

a) I thought that there was separation of church and state in schools?  Why are they teaching kids that Muslims discovered America?  Even if this incorrect information was to be taught, should it not at least have been that someone from the middle east discovered America?  Where is the ACLU?   Where are the people forcing schools to not celebrate Christmas?  Where are these hypocrites?

and

b)  I hope this misinformation is the part of an education that these kids don’t remember.

Canadian Health Care System Under John Stossel's Watchful Eye

Mulder

Mark your calendars.  On Friday July 24th, John Stossel has a segment on ABC’s 20/20 which looks at the Canadian Universal Health Care system.   This is very timely as the Obama administration is poised to pass a Universal Health Care bill through Congress.

In an effort to educate American’s about our system, Stossel does some serious digging.  In a brief preview some of the information that will be revealed is:

a)  Canadian doctors earn less than 50% of what their American counterparts make, which leads to the doctor shortage.

b)  towns in Canada are holding lotteries when space opens up with local family doctors to determine which family will get a doctor.

c) CT Scans, MRIs and other critical tests can get done usually next day…if you are a cat or a dog.  But for a human the wait time is far longer.

If Stossel ‘s past segments are an indication of what we can expect then this segment should be eye opening for Canadians as well as Americans.  I urge you all to take note and set your PVR’s.  For a sneak peak, check out the early promo by clicking here.

We will also do our part and try to get the show recorded and posted to the web as we feel it is critical for Canadians to know how OfficiallyScrewed we really are.

OS Bookshelf – Glenn Beck's Common Sense by Glenn Beck

Inspired by Thomas Paine’s pamplet from 1776, Glenn Beck has taken libertarianism to the masses with this inexpensive paperback that is meant to kickstart a non-violent revolution against big government, just as Paine’s original kickstarted the American revolution.

The book is fairly easy to get through and for those who watch Beck’s TV program or listen to his radio show, you will find that he reads the way he sounds when he gets on one of his passionate rants. This is especially true when he addresses overspending in various places. I can see how this book, which was number one on the NY Times list, might just accomplish the task it was meant to and awaken American’s to take up the fight and declare themselves independent and utter that timeless moniker of American Revolutionaries “Don’t tread on me.”

Why Palin Has Resigned So Early

Mulder

Everyone is asking why Sarah Palin, the Republican governor of Alaska, has resigned from her governorship so soon if she is planning on running for the Republican nomination in the 2012 election.

I have one big reason to explain.

Right now Congress has passed the new Obama cap and trade (read cap and tax) bill and it is going to the Senate for approval.

If this bill passes, the cost of fuel will be going up dramatically due to the taxation. This would decrease the demand, which would in turn affect the revenue of Alaska, perhaps even pushing them into deficit.

Why would Palin want that lodestone around her neck when she goes for the brass ring?

All in all, it is a wise move on her part.
