For many Americans, the Democratic Party is a substitute religion which must be defended at all costs. Most people think that the Democratic Party is just another political party. In fact, it is a cult.
One of the keys to solving the healthcare problem is to train more doctors. We have plenty of people right now who want to enter medicine and who have the ability to be successful, but who are turned away in droves by medical schools. The extreme scarcity of doctors that we have now is not a natural, but a man-made scarcity caused by government licensing laws. Repeal the government licensing laws, and let the market rather than the government determine how many doctors there will be. Once the licensing laws are gone, the market will respond to consumer demand by building many new medical schools and training many new doctors.

We must intervene immediately in Syria. If we don't stop them in Damascus, we will have to fight them in Dallas.
The one good thing about Obamacare is that it is the end of the line for the Democratic Party and for liberalism.

If Obamacare can't last, neither can single payer. It will cause the same problems. If the government does not repeal Obamacare or single payer, if that's what we end up with, the government will run out of money and collapse, and that will repeal it.

The advocates of government intervention, like Max Baucus for instance, are never willing to admit that their program was a bad idea, only that it was implemented poorly. But why didn't Baucus foresee that it would be implemented poorly? Is any government program ever implemented well?

A Post-Post Office World

President Nixon made a step in the right direction many years ago by moving in the direction of privatizing the Post Office. Unfortunately, he did not go far enough. This time, let's go all the way and turn the Post Office into a completely private business, then lift restrictions that prohibit others from competing in the delivery of first class mail. At that point, the market takes over.

The growing evil of the liberal left is no surprise. In the old days, liberalism may have been destructive, but at the same time it included many good people who actually believed liberalism was beneficial to the American people. As time has passed, however, the many good people that were part of liberalism have wised up and gotten out. This means that the only people left in liberal circles are bad people. Since there are no longer any good people in liberal circles to restrain the bad people or exercise any moderating influence on them, liberalism has become more vicious and evil. This is destructive, of course, but it also means that liberalism is coming to the end of the line. No movement survives without good people.

It's a bad idea to become preoccupied with racism to an excessive extent. No matter how much progress is made in race relations, there will always be a few crackpot racists out there. If we insist on crusading against racism until the last ounce is gone, we are going to have a long wait and probably never get around to other issues. And many of these issues are far more important than racism, even to Black America.

What's wrong with discrimination? Every choice you make is discrimination in one way or another. For example, if you choose to eat out tonight and go to Red Lobster, that means that you are discriminating against the steak houses.
