Even as the cheap bus 'n' truck road-tour version of the Hitler-Stalin Pact...

LOL! Good analogy.

Thanks for posting this Rummyfan.

V.R., DANG! Now that you mention it...Just realized I haven’t read the last issue yet. Usually I read it the moment I get it, but been real busy around here.

Just grabbed it from the file. “A Prescription for American Health Care” by John C. Goodman President, National Center for Policy Analysis.

I’ll read it this morning.

Here’s a link to the health care issue:

Imprimis has a vast online archive going back to 1972. What a wealth of great articles by some great people.

Instead of obama at Notre Dame, I wish it was Steyn.

This might be Steyn’s best yet. Sobering, to say the least.

Great article.

When governments annex a huge chunk of the economy, they also annex a huge chunk of individual liberty. You fundamentally change the relationship between the citizen and the state into something closer to that of junkie and pusher—and you make it very difficult ever to change back.

Wow. I'll have to remember that line.
