Make Puerto Rico a state handing Dems 4 new House seats and 2 new Senate seats forever? No thanks

By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer

The number of scandals and the speed at which they are both multiplying and growing in seriousness portends difficulties for Democrats in the near future. Nevertheless, they are a slippery bunch and never without a trick or two up their sleeve.

All indications are that these scandals will end Democrat dreams of having useful idiots like Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan help them erase our borders thus giving them a fresh supply of voters. When that scheme ends, they will have to look elsewhere and that elsewhere is Statehood for Puerto Rico.

A movement for statehood for Puerto Rico is perfect trap for feckless Republicans who, after defeating Rubio – Schumer amnesty bill, will be looking for a way to apologize to Hispanics. There is no doubt that Chuck Schumer and Bob Menendez will take weak-kneed Republicans by the hand and lead them to the … Continue Reading:Make Puerto Rico a state handing Dems 4 new House seats and 2 new Senate seats forever?

Meds aren’t always the answer

by Michael D. Shaw, staff writer

“It is customary to define psychiatry as a medical specialty concerned with the study, diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses.” But according to prominent psychiatrist and academic Thomas Szasz MD (1920-2012) “…this is a worthless and misleading definition.” “Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social, and ethical problems in living.” (1)

Szasz write that “…the notion of a person ‘having a mental illness’ is scientifically crippling. It provides professional assent to a popular rationalization—namely that problems in living experienced and expressed in terms of so-called psychiatric symptoms are basically similar to bodily diseases. Moreover, the concept of mental illness also undermines the principle of personal responsibility, the ground on which all free political institutions rest.” (1)

Not surprisingly, these observations made Szasz few friends within his field, and his concepts … Continue Reading:Meds aren’t always the answer

Anxiety, Depression and Drugs, Oh My! or Mental illness for fun and profit

by Michael D. Shaw, staff writer

The past 2 decades have witnessed an alarming increase in the number of Americans diagnosed with mental illness. Is modern psychiatry reaping an immense profit by impulsively—perhaps even deliberately–conflating mental illness with a growing, public aversion to the demands of personal responsibility?

In the summer of 2011, The New York Review of Books published two lengthy articles by Marcia Angell, MD—Senior Lecturer in Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and former Editor in Chief of The New England Journal of Medicine. In these articles, Angell reviewed three books which take a critical look at psychiatry and its relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, and also examined the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision).

Some of the findings of the books she reviews are quite disturbing: The major psychoactive drugs are revealed to be no better than placebos; the “chemical imbalance” theory … Continue Reading:Anxiety, Depression and Drugs, Oh My! or Mental illness for fun and profit

Despite Obama’s phony “green” schemes America is still the most energy efficient country ever

By Emma Karlin, staff writer

Don’t expect to see this story in the Democrat controlled media.

All the bleating and hand wringing from the liberal psychopaths about America’s wasteful and gluttonous use of natural energy resources are lies.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), America’s total energy consumption per Real Dollar of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is lower than it has ever been and less than half of what it was in 1973.

The EIA has released a report proving America is now the most energy efficient country in known history. The ratio of energy used to the cost of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) dollar is at a low point never reached before.

Last year America used 6,990 BTUs of petroleum natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy per actual dollar of GDP. We produced 2.2% more real GDP in 2012 than the preceding year, but 2012 saw a reduction of America’s energy … Continue Reading:Despite Obama’s phony “green” schemes America is still the most energy efficient country ever

Thanks to the editors at http://www.answeringmuslims.com/ here are some of the commands from Allah to Muslims on how they must treat non-Muslims.

Qur’an 3:32—Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.

Qur’an 5:51—O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

Qur’an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book (read Jews and Christians who believe in the Old Testament), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Qur’an 9:30—And the Jews … Continue Reading:Here’s what Muslims are taught about dealing with non-Muslims
