Providing healthcare to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing healthcare to all Americans is socialism.

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president
lying to enlist support for a war in which Iraqi citizens die is solid defense policy.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's cocaine conviction is none of our business.

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative
talk show host. Then it's an illness, and you need our prayers for your recovery.
