Washington State Voters legalize Physician-Assisted Suicide
Proponents were ecstatic. The measure had faced opposition from the Washington State Medical Association, the Roman Catholic Church, right-to-life groups and disability-rights activists who foresee assisted suicide as a “final solution” for containing the costs of medical services to the poor and disabled. In their literature and TV ads supporters ignored issues raised by disability rights groups, played on public fears that “religious leaders” want to “impose their moral views on you,” and routinely dismissed opponents’ arguments as “lies” -- and it worked....

Absurd to the Insane: Muslim Immigration Into the USA
Our U.S. Congress signs America’s death warrant by the tens of thousands every month. While one in every six American children lives below the poverty line, Congress imports 200,000 immigrants every month that equal 2.4 million legal and illegal immigrants annually that need housing, medical care and education. While 28 million Americans subsist on food stamps, we host 20 million illegal aliens that displace jobs from those Americans without jobs........
