Communist China's New Kiddy Poison

America's product safety agency issued an unprecedented warning in January: Don't give your children cheap metal jewelry and, if your kids already have some, throw it away. Cheap jewelry from Communist China probably contains hazardous levels of heavy metals. Lab tests on 103 pieces of low-priced children's jewelry found that many of them had very high amounts of cadmium, a metal that can hinder brain development in young children and also cause cancer.

Industry Rep Calls Patient Privacy 'Overblown' Worry

Thanks to Deborah Peel, M.D., for her March 24 op-ed "Your Medical Records Aren't Secure" and for her efforts to protect patient privacy. In 2008, I brought this issue to the floor of the House of Delegates at the AMA, asking that we work to rewrite the Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a regulation that did not protect patient privacy but only served as a template to deliver the data more consistently to the government. I was voted down. Stunned, I walked back to my seat, only to find any number of reporters as shocked by the lack of support I received as they were to hear this year about the AMA's support of health-care reform.

Money, Greed, and God

Capitalism often takes a beating in the press and even in the pulpit. It is blamed for everything from corruption and greed to polluting the environment. In a new book called Money, Greed, and God: Why Capitalism is the Solution and Not the Problem, economist Jay W. Richards explains why eight prevailing myths about the evils of capitalism are just plain untrue.

Obamacare's IRS provisions trouble security experts

With the IRS set to take a significant role in the new health care law signed by President Barack Obama on national television, that part of the Obamacare plan continues to worry those who have little faith in government efficiency, especially when Americans' privacy issues are involved.

Many security experts fear that Americans' patient information will be vulnerable to unauthorized access and distribution with perpetrators being outside hackers or IRS insiders.

Today's Internal Revenue Service relies extensively on computerized systems to carry out its demanding responsibilities to collect taxes, process tax returns, and enforce the nation's tax laws. Add the new responsibilities of taxing health care under the guise of levying fines on those who violate Obamacare provisions as well as record keeping, and there now exists a greater likelihood of patient information being unlawfully accessed or accidentally released to third parties.

Parents Pounded in Anti-Bullying Case

California law has an “opt out” provision that allows pupils to be exempted from “health instruction” that conflicts with their parents’ religious beliefs. A California judge has now ruled that parents may not keep their kids out of pro-homosexual school lessons. The school's attorney claims that this controversial lesson is part of the Safe School Community Curriculum, which is separate from schools’ “health instruction.” She said that the gay lesson teaches safety and tolerance, and to prevent bullying and harassment, and that the Board of Education intentionally omitted an opt-out option when it approved this curriculum. The Judge agreed and further ruled that “any opt-out right” is “outweighed by the policies against discrimination and harassment" of gay students.

Will American Boys Grow Up To Be Men?

I've been explaining feminism, and refuting its fallacies, for many years. All the while, I've been hoping that some brave and articulate men would speak up against the stupidity of trying to move us all into a gender-neutral society. Finally, a man has done this. I am so happy to read a newspaper column by Dennis Prager that tells it like it is. He says how important it is for society to get boys to grow up to be good men. He points out that if men learn how to control themselves and to channel their nature in positive directions, they make the world a much better place. The good man is a glory of civilization. On the other hand, males who don't grow up are likely to do a lot of mischief, and women and society suffer.

Your Medical Records Aren't Secure

The president says electronic systems will reduce costs and improve quality, but they could undermine good care if people are afraid to confide in their doctors.

By DEBORAH C. PEEL

I learned about the lack of health privacy when I hung out my shingle as a psychiatrist. Patients asked if I could keep their records private if they paid for care themselves. They had lost jobs or reputations because what they said in the doctor's office didn't always stay in the doctor's office. That was 35 years ago, in the age of paper. In today's digital world the problem has only grown worse.

A patient's sensitive information should not be shared without his consent. But this is not the case now, as the country moves toward a system of electronic medical records.

More Youth Are Depressed Now

A new study found that five times more American high school and college students struggle with mental health issues today than young adults who were the same age during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Researchers at five universities analyzed more than 77,000 respondents to the popular Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Hypomania, a measure of anxiety and unrealistic optimism, was detected in 31% of students in 2007 as compared to only 5% of students in 1938. Depression was noted in 6% of students in 2007, versus only 1% in 1938. The study also found a significant increase in "psychopathic deviation," which is defined as having difficulties relating to authority figures and feeling as though the rules don't apply to you. The number of youth who scored high in that category rose from 5% in 1938 to 24% in 2007.

A Divided House Passes Health Care Bill After Obama Deal Defuses Abortion Rebellion

(CNSNews.com) – A bitterly divided House of Representatives late Sunday night passed the Senate’s sweeping heath care legislation 219-212 after a day-long debate, with not a single Republican voting in favor.

Thirty-four Democrats (see list at end) voted against the bill, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi summed up as Congress “making history, making progress and restoring the American dream.”

Having struck a deal earlier in the day to head off a small but potentially decisive rebellion by Democrats over abortion funding, President Obama reportedly watched the televised vote tally at the White House with Vice President Joe Biden and several dozen others. Wire service reports said cheers erupted in the room when the “ayes” reached the 216 votes required for the bill to pass.

Global Warming Is Earth Worship

Recently I told you how the distinguished president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, stated that global warming is not a matter of temperature or climate change, but is in fact a new religion. Some distinguished American scholars have now declared themselves in agreement with this analysis. For example, the well-known economics professor at George Mason University, Walter Williams, recently wrote this: "Manmade global warming is an Earth-worshiping religion. The essential feature of any religion is that its pronouncements must be accepted on faith as opposed to hard evidence. Questioning those pronouncements makes one a sinner."

Schlafly: Health Care Vote Set to Expose the Myth of the 'Pro-Life Democrat'

WASHINGTON, March 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Phyllis Schlafly, president and founder of the conservative grassroots public policy organization Eagle Forum, made the following remarks after the public announcement that formerly pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak (D-MI) will cast a "yes" vote for the Senate health care bill today in the House:

"It is naive for any elected official, especially one who describes himself as 'pro-life,' to expect that a promise to issue an Executive Order that reasserts the intentions of the Hyde Amendment will be fulfilled by the most pro-abortion president to ever sit in the White House. Perhaps Mr. Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats forget that President Obama's first Executive Order was the repeal of the Mexico City Policy to allow for international funding of abortion."

U.S. Census Tracks Mail, Raising Fears Among Some

Census Bureau officials are counting on an advanced postal tracking system to speed up responses and save the government millions of dollars in follow-up letters and visits by census takers.

But some privacy advocates and lawmakers are troubled by the tracking system, which they say oversteps privacy bounds.

The 2010 Census forms arrive this week at 120 million addresses across the country. Each piece of Census mail comes with a unique barcode that lets the U.S. Postal Service and the bureau track individual letters as they travel to and from the bureau. Each time a letter zips through sorting equipment—typically ...

Obamacare threatens America's future

Reps. Steve King and Michele Bachmann

Liberals have long dreamed of putting the government in charge of America’s health insurance industry. Each time they tried, the American people have stood up and rejected a government takeover of health care.

This is different. The stakes are higher and government-run health care advocates are more united than ever before. They believe their political future depends on this bill’s passage.

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel set the tone in November 2008. “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” he said. “And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

Story Hour for Teens?

Reading aloud to older students is gaining favor with increasing numbers of teachers. So many adolescents simply lack the necessary comprehension skills to read middle-school or high-school texts. A recent Carnegie Corporation report on literacy noted that although American 4th-graders have some of the highest reading scores in the world, by the 10th grade they score among the lowest in the world. Most research on the efficacy of reading aloud has involved elementary school students and little is yet known about its value for adolescents. One high school in Alabama is experimenting. Ten years ago, the school decided drastic measures were needed because one-third of entering freshman were found to be reading at or below the 7th grade level. Many were reading only at the 4th or 5th grade level. Now the teachers use wordless picture books in an attempt to get students' attention and introduce them to more complex subject matter. The principal acknowledges that his high school "looks more like an elementary school." He said that is because letting the students draw pictures and make cut-outs seems to help them. The English teacher uses shorter articles to help students gain confidence before tackling books without pictures.

What's China Doing in Afghanistan?

Communist China is very busy now in Afghanistan -- but not to help us fight the Taliban. China is carrying on its own "surge" in Afghanistan behind an electrified fence and 53 police outposts. China is preparing to extract copper from one of the richest untapped deposits on earth -- it's a tremendous financial investment. A corporation owned by the Chinese government paid $3.4 billion for the right to mine valuable copper deposits and, over the next 25 years, expects to extract 11 million tons of copper. It looks like the Americans do the heavy lifting, and then the Chinese pick the fruit. Meanwhile, China has rebuffed U.S. requests to join the Afghan war effort, saying that China's national policy forbids military action abroad.

House Getting 40,000 Calls an Hour

House administrators estimate that Capitol switchboard operators are fielding roughly 40,000 calls per hour from constituents and that perhaps just as many callers are experiencing busy signals a full day after radio host Rush Limbaugh gave his listening audience the Capitol switchboard phone number and encouraged them to call it.

That means that in an eight-hour window, the Capitol is being deluged with more than 300,000 phone calls, said Jeff Ventura, spokesman for the Chief Administrator’s Office. The barrage is about 10 times what the switchboard usually receives, he added.

“This doesn’t surprise me. It’s going to be that way all week, until they vote [on health care reform]. No doubt about it,” he said. “For everyone who doesn’t get through, they’ll just say to themselves, ‘I’ll try again tomorrow.’”

The Most Powerful Office Is Not the President

Do you know that the most powerful office in the United States is not the President? Indeed, the most powerful man in the world is the U.S. President, but the presidency is not the most powerful office. Another office is more powerful because it chooses whose names will appear on the ballot for elective office and what will be the policies of the political parties that support those candidates. Let's consider how anyone gets elected in the United States.

Explaining Reinhardt's misquote

The Ninth Circuit found that "Under God" and "In God We Trust" are constitutional, with Judge Reinhardt writing a 133-page dissent based in part on an interpretation of this Eagle Forum question and answer:

11. Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

I say that "it" unambiguously refers to the phrase, not the Pledge, because:

1. The question asked for an opinion about the phrase, not the Pledge.
2. If "it" referred to the Pledge, then the sentence would end with "in defense of it". By explicitly saying "Pledge", the sentence suggests that "it" means something other than the Pledge.
3. From the meaning, there is some evidence that G. Washington said "under God" and other Founders said similar things, as explained by the Ninth Circuit majority opinion, but they never said the Pledge.

The above dissent claims that the above "it" referred to the Pledge, and the judge altered the quote in order to make it look that way. It is just a dishonest partisan cheap shot.

Rubio fields tough questions from high schoolers during Naples visit

Marco Rubio

NAPLES — Republican Senatorial candidate Marco Rubio doesn’t mind people comparing the primary race with Gov. Charlie Crist to David versus Goliath.

“I don’t have a problem with that as long as I am David,” he said to a crowd of more than 250. “People seem to forget that David beat Goliath.”

Rubio, who has found himself the front runner in the Republican primary, was one of two keynote speakers at the 30th annual Eagle Forum luncheon Friday. To those assembled at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club, he was a rock star.

Rubio told the crowd that those who had heard him speak in the months leading up to the luncheon would not be hearing anything new because he is running for Senate for the same reasons that he was when he started the campaign.

To Answer or Not to Answer the Census? That Is the Question, 3-11-10

by Hans A. von Spakovsky

I have been deluged lately with requests asking me whether one has to answer all of the questions on the 2010 Census, particularly those about race and ethnic background. Like Mark Krikorian, I don’t like those questions and don’t think the U.S. government should be collecting that information — its only use is to continue to separate us on racial grounds, for reapportionment purposes and for certain government programs.

Mark has said that he is going to answer “American” on the race question. I have always been tempted to answer “Native American,” since I was born and raised here. However, people need to understand that they may incur a legal liability if they use such answers or don’t answer questions at all.

Head Start Deserves an F

The federal government spent $25 billion of taxpayers' money on federal preschool and child care programs last year, but President Obama is calling for big increases in preschool spending. Before Congress spends any more on preschool and child care, it should evaluate whether the current programs are working. Topping the list of programs that should be reviewed is Head Start, which serves low-income children at a cost of $9 billion per year. Head Start, created as part of the War on Poverty in 1965, is a preschool program funded by the federal government. By providing education, nutrition, and health services, Head Start is intended to give a boost to disadvantaged children before they enter school, and help disadvantaged children catch up to the other children.

Ruling Kills an Option for Moving Health Bill

By David M. Drucker
Roll Call Staff

March 11, 2010, 2:30 p.m.

The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that President Barack Obama must sign Congress’ original health care reform bill before the Senate can act on a companion reconciliation package, senior GOP sources said Thursday.

The Senate Parliamentarian’s Office was responding to questions posed by the Republican leadership. The answers were provided verbally, sources said.

Court approves pledge and motto

The words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance are an appeal to patriotism, not religion, and do not violate the separation of church and state, a federal appeals court ruled today - the same court that declared the pledge unconstitutional in 2002.

In a separate ruling, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in San Francisco upheld the placement of the national motto, "In God We Trust," on coins and currency. The language is patriotic and ceremonial, not religious, the court said.

Both suits were filed by Michael Newdow, a Sacramento atheist who has filed numerous challenges to government-sponsored religious invocations.

The same court had previously said that the Pledge was unconstitutional, but the US Supreme Court was not likely to agree.

Update: The 133-page dissent misquotes Sarah Palin's response to an Eagle Forum questionnaire, in an attempt to make her look stupid. She was asked whether she is offended by the phrase "Under God", not about the history of the Pledge.

ID Card for Workers Is at Center of Immigration Plan

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

Feminists Consider Motherhood Oppressive

I was flipping the channels on my television a couple of weeks ago and I stopped, as I always do, on CSpan Books. There was some feminist, whose name is not important, giving a five-minute rant against President Richard Nixon because he vetoed the bill proposed by Walter Mondale to make federal daycare for preschool children a new middle-class entitlement. Nixon's veto message, which actually was written by Patrick Buchanan who was then working on Nixon's White House staff, is a splendid explanation of the importance of children being raised by their own parents. Nixon's veto was and is popular, because the majority of Americans don't want to pay taxes to provide babysitters for other people's children.

Global Warming Is Frozen Over

January was a really bad month for the claims of crisis by global warming alarmists. Frigid temperatures destroyed fruit and coral in Florida, and snow fell on Al Gore's palatial home in normally warmer Tennessee. Because of the revelation of emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit, an official associate of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we now know about some scientists' willingness to suppress data and to rig the process in order to pretend there is consensus among scientists that global warming is coming, to ostracize contrary views, and to push their globalist agenda.

Pro-Abortion House Leader: Pro-Life Advocates Can't Stop Senate Health Care Bill

The Real Loser in the Massachusetts Election

The Democrats are very upset about their surprise defeat in the race to fill the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, so they are throwing their own candidate, Martha Coakley, under the bus. They blame her for running a poor campaign. Many reasons, of course, contributed to the remarkable victory of Senator Scott Brown. However, the chief reason Coakley's campaign didn't connect with the voters is that she is a feminist, causing even a liberal female TV commentator to admit she is "unappealing." The director of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Organization for Women said, "Martha's a really great candidate for everything that NOW stands for." Coakley was, indeed, a really great advocate for the feminist ideology, but that did not attract the voters.

Homework: Get Your Parents To Fill out the Census

The U.S. Census Bureau has launched an aggressive campaign to get school children to influence their parents to participate in the 2010 Census. This is part of a $13 billion national public information effort, and will reach about 56 million students in 118,000 schools. The plan is to disseminate posters, maps, teaching guides and lesson plans to every school in the nation. Schools will have a Census Week shortly before the Census questionnaires are delivered to residential addresses this month. During Census Week, teachers will spend 15 minutes each day talking about civic participation. Extensive lesson plans for grades K-12 are designed to integrate census-related information into subjects such as history and math. The aim is to persuade children to persuade their families to be sure and fill out the census information. Teachers will emphasize the benefits of Census participation. Census population counts will determine how many Members of Congress each state will have in Congress and how much federal money each congressional District will get.

Many Anti-Marriage Taxpayer Subsidies

Obama's health care bill will ratchet up federal welfare spending that already produces many financial incentives to remain single. These include the Earned Income Tax Credit, housing benefits, food stamps, child support enforcement, and the entire Great Society welfare apparatus.

The welfare system created a matriarchy with millions of children lacking their father in the home.

The Marriage Penalty in Health Care

The liberals and feminists who are waging war on the institution of marriage have inserted a huge marriage penalty in both health care bills passed by the Senate and House. These bills would set up another federal program to provide financial incentives to subsidize avoiding marriage and having illegitimate children.

Don't Overhaul U.S. Patent System

Anytime we hear politicians talking about "reform," we should be on our guard. Reform is a word that covers a lot of legislative mischief. There's much talk right now in congressional cloakrooms about reform of our nation's patent system because it's old. That's no argument. The fact that it's 220 years old, and is responsible for America producing nearly all the great inventions of the world, should be a reason not to tamper with a system that has worked so well. The property right of inventors is one of our most important constitutional rights.
