John Stossel: One Toke Over The Line
2008-05-21 14:05:00 ABC'S John Stossel wants the government to stop interfering with your right to get high. The libertarian anchorman told a medical marijuana benefit the other night, "I think all of it should be legal: marijuana, cocaine, heroin and crack." The chatty, weed-loving crowd went silent at his call to legalize hard drugs, and Stossel admitted his own 22-year-old daughter doesn't think it's a good idea. He said although it might result in having more addicts, it's even more dangerous, in his view, to keep drugs illegal because the dealer gangs we're creating will soon be able to buy nuclear weapons.

I Thought We Were Gonna Freeze To Death. . .
2008-04-24 16:48:00 For almost 4 decades now the left has been preaching to us about how the world is gonna end. They have provided us with a litany of environmental calamity's that would ensue. Of course none of these events ever seem to transpire. They only exist in your average lefty's disordered mind. Here are some of their hysterical predictions (From the Washington Policy Center): ? ?...civilization... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story.
Why Ron Paul Supporters Should Vote For McCain
2008-03-07 21:16:00 Now that Ron Paul is officially out of the Presidential race, many Ron Paul supporters are dismayed and perplexed about what to do. Should they vote for Ron Paul as a write-in candidate in the general election to show solidarity? Should they break ranks and vote for the Libertarian Party candidate? Should they not vote at all? The passion that Ron Paul supporters have for liberty now needs to... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story.
John Stossel: People still die in `gunless utopia`
2008-02-28 19:31:00 ?How, then, does it make sense to create mandatory gun-free zones, which in reality are free-crime zones?? asks John Stossel. ?The usual suspects keep calling for more gun control laws. But this idea that gun control is crime control is just a myth. The National Academy of Sciences reviewed dozens of studies and could not ...

20/20 with John Stossel: Global Warming Hysteria ? ?Give me a Break?
2007-10-20 03:39:00 John Stossel created a great special on global warming hysteria. Although the package was short, Stossel focused on the fact that scientists who disagree with Al Gore and other charlatans are threatened by people who have a vested interest in proving Anthropogenic Global Warming. Moreover, the media seems to ignore the fact that Al Gore?s propaganda movie contains numerous flaws.Stossel also discussed within his special the fact that there is a clear debate concerning whether or not global warming is caused by man. But, Al Gore creates the impression that the debate is over. Nothing could be further from this inconvenient truth.Amazingly, Al Gore refused to give an interview with John Stossel. I have never heard of anyone who was so confident with their side of an argument that they refuse to answer any questions. Have you?A third relevant point that Stossel raised was that many scientific contributors of the Almighty IPCC report disagreed with the ultimate conclusions of its ...

John Stossel Presents More Fantasy Scenarios For The Health Care Crisis
2007-10-10 19:08:00 John Stossel continues to promote fantasy as a solution for the health care crisis. Last week I discussed how Stossel promoted generous plans offered to a minority of people in this country as a solution. Today he cherry picks unusual situations to ignore the overall problem. The first example Stossel gives is of laser surgery which ...

Stossel On Heathcare . . .
2007-09-26 21:10:00 John Stossel has a knack for breaking down complex issues with logic, wit and common sense. His take on healthcare is no different. He states that Senator Hillary Clinton wants to require everyone to have it, big companies to pay for it and government to buy it for the poor, which he then proclaims is the wrong direction. Here is more of what he asserts brilliantly:America's health-care problem is not that some people lack insurance -- it's that 250 million Americans do have it.You have to understand something right from the start. We Americans got hooked on health insurance because the government did the insurance companies a favor during World War II. Wartime wage controls prohibited cash raises, so employers started giving noncash benefits, like health insurance, to attract workers. The tax code helped this along by treating employer-based health insurance more favorably than coverage you buy yourself. And state governments have made things worse by mandating coverage many ...
John Stossel Looks at ?Our Crazy Health-Insurance System?
2007-09-25 21:08:00 This article is a great look at the history of our health care system and how we got to where we are now. It also makes us look at what we consider normal. Imagine if your car insurance covered oil changes and gasoline. You wouldn’t care how much gas you used, and you wouldn’t care ...
ABC News: Whose Body Is It, Anyway? Sick in America with John Stossel and M
2007-09-15 06:14:00 John Stossel produced an excellent one-hour special on 20/20 regarding our Nation’s healthcare system. As usual, Stossel attempted to educate the public on why limited government and capitalism work. It is too bad that our supposed “small government†politicians do not do the same thing. I digress.John Stossel started the show with a very balanced discussion. He spoke with many people who have severe financial troubles as a result of their health problems. Some of the people he found were very fearful of illness. If they got sick, they may have to file for bankruptcy.Nevertheless, the reason for their problems was brilliantly addressed by Stossel. It was not because of profit that people pay such high prices; it is because people have third-parties paying for them. As a result, patients have no idea what healthcare visits cost, the doctors have no idea what the healthcare costs, and there is no competition. With no competition, people do not shop to different doctors ...
Doctors Refuse to Fix Builder's Broken Ankle Unless He Quits Smoking: The
2007-09-14 21:10:00 Tonight on ABC?s 20/20 Michael Moore will debate John Stossel regarding socialized medicine (come back later tonight for a review of the show). John Stossel, whose ideology is based on statistics, facts, and common sense, will destroy Michael Moore like nothing you will ever see. Presumably, John Stossel will attack Moore for his baseless comments that Cuba?s healthcare should be emulated. As a result, we can expect Michael Moore to divert the question and say instead that we should focus on Canada?s and Great Britain?s healthcare system. Well, as we shall see, Britain?s healthcare is neither about health nor caring; it is about control and big government.Just to prove this point, take a look at this ridiculous story and ask yourself if we want to bring this great socialized system to America.?A man with a broken ankle is facing a lifetime of pain because a Health Service hospital has refused to treat him unless he gives up smoking.John Nuttall, 57, needs surgery to set the ankle wh...
Social Conservatism IS The Conservative Movement
2007-08-30 16:00:00 Please ignore the Devil's Advocate on this issue for he simply has no credibility on it. The Devil's Advocate says he believes in judicial restraint, low taxes and a strong military. Nevertheless in 2004 the Devil's Advocate allowed his ideological purity to get in the way. This may be a shock to many of you but the Devil's Advocate voted for John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, and not George Bush.This here exposes the problem with libertarians; they are unwilling to meet their friends in any sort of compromise. With his vote in 2004 the Devil's advocate was willing to accept to two more Ruth Ginsburg's instead of John Roberts and Alito. He was willing to accept 70% marginal tax rates instead of 33%. He was willing to accept a gutting of the military instead of a buildup. The fact is the Devil's Advocate was willing to throw out a President who shares his views on 80% of the issues in exchange for a man with whom he shares very little. This is some very irrational t...
James Carville Looks For 2008 Bumper Sticker
2007-08-24 18:41:00 James Carville needs help in finding a bumper sticker slogan for the Democrat Party in 2008.Given that Hillary Clinton is going to be the nominee, how about this as their slogan. This kills two birds with one stone. It gives them a snappy song and a catchy, meaningful one-liner.The fever is gonna get us alright because after Hillary shoves socialized medicine down our throats we wont be able receive decent health care.Related Posts:Compassionate PoliticiansCombating Socialized Medicine
John Stossel Debates Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
2007-07-13 00:05:00 John Stossel is always a refreshing face to see in the mainstream media. His common sense approach to analyzing public policy is second to none. Moreover, he is masterful at analyzing statistics and demonstrating the real unintended consequences of big government. Consequently, liberals cannot stand him. I guess his facts and cogent arguments seem to get in the way of their emotions. Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the ?Live Earth? concert called John Stossel and other anthropogenic global warming skeptics a bunch of traitors, corporate toadies, and flat-earthers. He also called for the boycott of any corporation who supports Stossel. As a result of Kennedy?s babble, John Stossel in his witty way debated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Fox News with Neil Cavuto. In my opinion, this was not a debate; it was a clear thrashing. Evidently, Kennedy is not a fan of facts either. Before I discuss specifically what was said between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and John Stossel, allow m... |
