Impact and Ideas

This is an excerpt from a report on the New York Times site.  Go there to read it in its entirety: WASHINGTON — A bill to dismantle the Affordable Care Act that narrowly passed the House this month would increase the projected number of people without health insurance by 14 million next year and by

For the Politically Minded

I limit the amount of politicizing I do on Lifehelps. When I am in the mood for speaking out on this complex, often perplexing and frustrating subject, I put a post on http://patriotsvoiceblog.wordpress.com   Not to worry, my views are eclectic rather than very far left or right, although it is fair to warn you

The Demagog

Passions ignited and burst into flame; As the man spoke, The crowd became Wilder, more frenzied; Joining in the game With fervor for him and his cause.   Mindless insanity grew in the heat; As the man spoke, They would repeat Parts of his phrases, Chanted to a beat With fervor for him and his
