Avik Roy demonstrates why Americans have good reason to be concerned that our healthcare system is on its way to becoming more like the National Health Service in Britain. “Britons are frustrated by the indifference and inhumanity of the National Health Service. Its problems are covered widely in the British press”.
I continue to be amazed that Chris Matthews is taken seriously by anyone. This time asking Bob Inglis who recently lost a Republican primary in South Carolina if he has been “hurt in the Republican Party now for having had a fine education”. Thereby reinforcing the impression that leftists assume anyone who disagrees with them must be stupid or evil or both. I have a bachelor’s master’s and doctoral degree from Cornell University along with a three year master’s from Baptist Theological Seminary in Richmond and consider myself a moron.
We should be dismayed not pleased that the Obama administration goes after al-Qaeda by calling it a “racist organization”. Andy McCarthy puts it well in a recent post at National Review Online:
The race obsession of the Obama administration is a sight to behold. Remember, these are people who adamantly refuse to see the Islamic underpinnings of jihadist terror, although those underpinnings are obvious and undeniable to anyone willing to look. Yet, racism, their unified field theory for interpreting all human phenomena, somehow explains al Qaeda. Sure.
Eric Holder makes Janet Reno look good.
