Why Rush is wrong about the results of the scandals around Obama

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Rush Limbaugh is taking a “whistling past the graveyard” approach to Barack Obama’s scandals. He is being very cautious about allowing himself to feel that some damage will be done to Obama when the dust from these scandals clears.

Rush even quotes James Carville’s liberal wishful thinking about this lasting “only 30 days” to help convince himself he’s right; nevertheless, Rush is wrong.

While there is no doubt that Obama won’t be impeached, as Rush allows that isn’t important. Saying there won’t be any damage to Obama his Party and their dangerous agenda is simply wrong.

These scandals will do the following.

When Rush is proved “right” and nothing “seems” to change the fuse of a renewed TEA party revolution will be lit.

People will be reminded America isn’t supposed to be this way.

Democrats will remain on defense through next year’s election cycle – you’re not winning when you are … Continue Reading:Why Rush is wrong about the results of the scandals around Obama

Millions of Americans could be misdiagnosed as mentally ill

 

by Doug Book, staff writer

“In the days of the Malleus, if the physician could find no evidence of natural illness, he was expected to find evidence of witchcraft: today, if he cannot diagnose organic illness, he is expected to diagnose mental illness.” (1)

The Malleus Maleficarum was a 15th century text which instructed Inquisitors on the proper method of identifying, trying and burning witches. Though it was many years ago that renowned psychiatrist Thomas Szasz (1920-2012) used the example of the Malleus to comment on the diagnostic practices of his fellow physicians, it seems he might have been on to something as today psychiatrists and educators alike are concerned that the recently completed “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V” (DSM 5) will be responsible for psychiatrists improperly diagnosing millions of Americans as mentally ill.

Produced exclusively by the American Psychiatric Association, the DSM provides physicians with … Continue Reading:Millions of Americans could be misdiagnosed as mentally ill

Obama Regime will ban owners, not guns

by Doug Book, staff writer

While gun owners have been fixated on threats to ban “assault weapons” and virtually every other sort of semi-automatic rifle and pistol, Barack Obama and Regime, gun confiscationists have quietly advanced a far more insidious assault on 2nd Amendment rights.

In New York State, the thoroughly unconstitutional SAFE Act is responsible for the confiscation of Pistol Owner ID Cards (one needs a state approved ID Card to own a pistol in the Empire State) along with pistols themselves. And the gun owners currently being honored with this violation of their right to keep and bear arms “…have been discovered to have been prescribed …different types of psychotropic drugs, such as those for Depression or Anxiety.” (1)

In short, “…unknown sources have seen fit to take it upon themselves to share confidential medical records with NY State Officials without authorization, a massive HIPPA violation.” (1) Lists of users of … Continue Reading:Obama Regime will ban owners, not guns

Smokers and the obese pay more for healthcare; when will homosexuals pay “their fair share?”

 

By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer

There is an increasing trend toward higher health insurance rates for those who are overweight and live “unhealthy” lifestyles as defined by insurance companies and employers. As the thinking goes, the obese and others (usually smokers) are automatically viewed as chronically unhealthy and above average consumers of healthcare services.

Whether this is true for a particular person or not has become irrelevant. More premium money has to be collected from somewhere and neither the cowardly insurance companies nor our feckless politically correct corporate leaders will demand higher premiums from homosexuals whose risky lifestyle is well established as a cause of serious illnesses that are costly to treat.

The ethics of this position be damned – they just don’t have the courage to face the storm that would follow an honest recalibration of insurance rates. They just aren’t interested in practicing the liberals’ favorite pursuit of making “everyone pay his fair share.” … Continue Reading:Smokers and the obese pay more for healthcare; when will homosexuals pay “their fair share?”

Free healthcare for illegals continues the ObamaCare way

 

by Doug Book, staff writer

In 2009, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated that the yearly cost of providing healthcare for illegal aliens was $10.7 billion. It was a difficult figure to approximate as hospitals are not permitted to ask if an emergency room patient is in the country illegally. After all, should an exact total of monies spent even on the delivery of anchor babies (about $10,000 per “anchor”) become known, it would enrage an American public which Democrats especially hope to keep blissfully ignorant about one of the principle reasons for skyrocketing healthcare and health insurance prices—uncompensated costs. (1)

In 1986, EMTALA was signed into law. Part of the COBRA act, EMTALA requires hospitals to provide treatment to anyone who needs it regardless of citizenship status or ability to pay. As the government does NOT reimburse hospitals for such care, a number of hospitals nationwide were forced to close … Continue Reading:Free healthcare for illegals continues the ObamaCare way
