Demagogues to the left of me, demagogues to the right - (USA)
Rick Moran can’t take it anymore . It starts with Sarah Palin’s Facebook statement. The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby w

Children’s Aid Society Helps Mother and Daughter with Foreclosure - (USA)
Celestee Young Tate, 43, mother of a nine-year old girl named Shanelle does not have any idea about foreclosures until it changed her life. The mother and daughter have been practically living alone since Celestee and her husband, Shanelle’s father, separated. The Tates shared an apartment with another family until Celestee was granted a salary increase from her temporary work.

Sarah Palin described in an Internet posting Friday that President Obama’s plan to overhaul the health care system was evil. “Who will suffer the most when they ration care?

Palin Says Obama’s Healthcare Plan Is “Downright Evil” - (USA)
The hockey mom said yesterday on her Facebook page that Obama’s healthcare plan is “evil.” Sarah Palin said that Obama’s plan is a bureaucratic “death panel” and that it would decide who gets assistance. She said that the sick, elderly, and disabled would suffer the most.

Dean on Palin’s health care claims: ‘She made that up’ - (USA)
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told CNN Sunday that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had deliberately made up charges that the Obama administration’s health care bill would lead to euthanasia. “About euthanasia, they're just totally erroneous. She just made that up,” he said. “Just like the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ that she supposedly didn't support. Embedded video from CNN Video “There's nothing like euthanasia in the bill.

RIP, LADY WHO LOVED RETARDS - (USA)
Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who started the Special Olympics and coined the shorthand for every joke about the mentally handicapped in America, died earlier this morning. She was 88. Her faith in the athletes of Special Olympics was unfailing, even from the very start. When she was young and Special Olympics was still just an idea, few people particularly cared or knew about people with intellectual disabilities. Fewer still shared or understood her dream to awaken the spirit and denied pot

The Chechnya Murder Spree Continues - (USA)
When the Chechen human rights worker Natalia Estemirova was snatched off the streets of Grozny and later deposited in a roadside ditch with a few bullets to the head, the grotesque brutality of the act was hard to swallow. In response, not all the much was done. In Russia, the event was not even a blip on the media radar, and mourners at her memorial were even harassed and arrested. Outside of Russia, Estemirova was given generous and sympathetic treatment ( here is a good example ), but the
