Keep your friends close...

...and your enemies closer. Scams and lies come from the left and they come from the right. Fibbers are everywhere!

Now that I'm up to ten (10) regular readers, let's assume that at least a few (three or four?) lean toward the political extremes.

Whether you're a right-winger or a left-winger, you cannot do your "cause" justice by reading only material written by others from similar viewpoints.

You must, at least occasionally, read material from the opposition.

Even though I don't often link to sites with views opposite mine, I do visit them and keep up with what the "other guy/gal" is up to.

You should too.

Think the health care bill signed into law last week was the greatest thing since sliced bread? Just so you'll know why a majority of Americans are opposed to the new law, you ought to take a look at last month's Imprimis article on the subject. Read it here.

Americans understand that the problems facing our health care system today, real as they are, can be addressed without nationalizing one-sixth of the American economy and moving us past the tipping point toward a European-style social welfare state. They know that we can solve these problems while at the same time remaining a free society and acting consistently with the principles that have made us the greatest and most prosperous nation on earth. It is our duty now as their representatives to come together and do so.

Unfortunately, health care reform was passed and good old Uncle Sam is in charge of yet another aspect of our lives...

  1. Your right in the extremes, but I don't sway to the left or right, i'm an extreme constitutionalist which is the opposite of a statist but yet not a centrist, left or right...constitutionalism - "a complex of ideas, attitudes, and patterns of behavior elaborating the principle that the authority of government derives from and is limited by a body of fundamental law." American Constitutionalism would be more correctly defined as a complex of ideas, attitudes, and patterns of behavior elaborating the principle that the authority of government derives from THE PEOPLE, and is limited by a body of fundamental law."

    With that said, the real problem with America (not just the Health Care bill) is the left-right paradigm. Your completely right, people need to stop focusing on one side of the equation and assuming everything on the other side is wrong.

    In fact, the real rulers of our world are global bankers, the CFR that controls the media which controls that box on the wall 90%+ of Americans worship and use an a "catch all" for their daily information (albeit mainly social programming, brainwashing and propaganda), The Federal Reserve (a private bank which steals from us by the trillions and charges us interest to print our money), as well as The Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, Club of Rome, Bohemian Grove, Trilateral Commission (which includes the bankers in all of these). Royal blood and secret societies, that is who pulls the strings.

  2. PS - I set myself up as a follower on YOUR blog a few weeks ago, why don't you return the favor? We don't have to go out for drinks, or share the exact same mentalities, but I am very open minded and respect your opinion...
