• Miracle? Paralympian Has Paralysis ‘Cured’ After Getting in Accident

  December 10, 2011 at 9:53am

  A story like this would not be a surprise to a chiropractor. I’d like to know if she ever saw one after her accident.

  All the nerves travel through the spine. A spine that is not properly aligned can either block nerve impulses or over-stimulate nerve impulses. It’s quite possible that the accidents moved the spine, and the recent crash reversed it.

• Cop and Army Veteran Killed, Gunman Dead at Virginia Tech

  December 8, 2011 at 11:51pm

  Hmmm… that’s odd. I thought for sure that the campus ban on guns would have prevented something like this from happening…???

  Oh, that’s right–CRIMINALS ARE CRIMINALS BECAUSE THEY BREAK LAWS!

  Meanwhile, the university denies everybody on that campus the right to protect themselves from something like this.

  Yup, makes total sense.

• Mark Levin Would Support Either Bachmann or Santorum If He Were Voting Today

  December 5, 2011 at 12:18am

  What a joke… I usually can’t handle more than a few minutes of listening to Levine on the radio, but it doesn’t surprise me that he would pick these two political lightweights. These talk radio types like him and Beck seem to think all that matters is that somebody says what they like to hear.

  Newsflash, people–being a good president ain’t about saying the right things, it’s about character and leadership ability, the ability to communicate with the public and get them to sign on to your agenda, the ability to make the tough choices because you have a solid foundation of principles that are right, etc.

• High School Student Fights Bachmann on Gay Marriage Stance at Town Hall Meeting

  December 2, 2011 at 9:36am

  This is the problem with Bachmann, and the reason why I don‘t get Glenn Beck’s love affair with her.

  How can she stand there with a straight face, and in the same breath say that we should all have the same rights, but be against gay marriage? What a cop-out… “oh, I’m sorry, it’s the law so I have to follow it.” The question is about how you might CHANGE the law, dummy…

  She’s an intellectual lightweight to anybody with an IQ above room temperature.

  If she wanted to give an intellectually honest answer, and she doesn’t like gay marriage, she should say that she favors removing all recognition of marriage of any kind from federal law. That’s the only way nobody gets preferential treatment.

  Or, she could just be honest and say that it’s not about civil rights, so equal rights is not an applicable principle to the question! Instead, she does this illogical wishy-washy thing that makes her look like an idiot.

• Christian Author Joel Rosenberg: We May See ‘More Bible Prophesies in the Near Future’

  October 31, 2011 at 11:24pm

  So Iran is a threat…. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO ABOUT IT????!!!!!!!

  I’m so tired of people talking about how we should be scared to death of Iran, but they won’t say what they want the US government to do about it.

  Because, you know… sanctions have worked so well every time they’ve been tried…

  The thing is, they’d never say we should preemptively invade Iran because they know nobody would support it.

  I’m sick of neo-cons…

• Report: Ford Pulls Anti-Bailout Ad After Pressure From Obama Admin.

  September 27, 2011 at 4:59pm

  Sorry, folks… I know we all want to believe Ford is the last man standing in Detroit without government assistance, but the truth is that while they didn’t get “bailed out”, they still took secret “emergency” loans (as much as $7 billion) from the Fed during the crisis, just like Goldman Sachs et.al. They‘re not as spotless in all of this as we’d like to think…

  I’m sure they would have preferred it stay a secret, but we finally found out about it once the Fed was forced to reveal the details of its activities years later:

• Study: Expectant Mothers Shouldn’t Go Low-Fat With Yogurt

  September 20, 2011 at 9:25am

  The concept that a low-fat philosophy is good for health and weight loss has been thoroughly debunked. Yes, there is such a thing as bad fats (primarily those created through human-generated processing methods and cooking), but almost all fats in their natural form are not only good for consumption but essential for health.

  Not only does our body need fats in their natural form, but removing fats from foods actually impedes our body’s ability to digest those foods, as fats stimulate bile production in the liver and gallbladder. The lack of that bile means that foods are not digested properly, at the very least leading to a deficiency of healthy benefits from that food, and also possibly leading to negative benefits to one’s health.

  Dairy should be consumed in the exact form in which it comes out of the cow. Removing the cream, further removing the fat to make low-fat products, pasteurization, etc. all interfere with our body’s ability to digest dairy properly.

• Did Tea Partiers Cheer Man’s Death During Debate?

  September 13, 2011 at 8:40am

  Couldn’t have said it better, Dr. Paul.

  The whole medical system in this country needs a complete free market overhaul. When decision makers at ever level, from the highest bureaucrat down to the poorest patient, are not incentivized correctly it screws up everything.

  I can tell you this much, if I have cancer, I’m going to Mexico, Honduras, etc. to visit one of the many alternative health clinics there before I go anywhere near a U.S. hospital.

  As a side-note, I‘ve always thought it humorous how those who argue so strongly for evolution and natural selection don’t seem to see natural selection at work when a homeless bum who has been smoking and drinking his whole life is dying in the street…

• S&P Places U.S. on Negative CreditWatch, Could Lower Rating as Early as This Month

  July 14, 2011 at 11:27pm

  Only in American politics could it actually be considered better for an entity’s credit-worthiness to extend them more credit when they are already in way over their head!

  This is absurd–the ratings companies work for Wall Street, and now due to new regulations for Washington as well. We need to cut up the American government’s credit card.

  If the American economy could be hurt by not raising the debt ceiling, then that’s the real problem that needs to be addressed. The economy should never be dependent on government debt-fueled spending, because it is ultimately unsustainable.

  In fact, wouldn’t investors be happy if they could get a more reasonable interest rate on money loaned to the government? The Federal Reserve is distorting the market by keeping interest rates artificially low at Treasury auctions.

• No Job? Obama Now Says You May Not Have to Pay Your Mortgage for a Full Year

  July 8, 2011 at 9:41am

  Here’s a crazy thought, Mr. President… instead of trying to “fix” the housing “crisis”, maybe you should just get out of the way and let the market do what it will eventually do anyway, regardless of anything you do–lower prices back down to where they are actually affordable again!

  In the end, no matter what short term variables do, housing will always end up proportional to income.
