"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

Political correctness will continue to get people killed, either as a direct result or indirectly when we allow them to subvert our Constitution in the name of "fairness" and we sit idly by. I sit idly by no longer. - Craig Eddy

"the rush to pass health care reform is generating massive uncertainty, even fear, about the future. Small-business men, for example, whose firms create three-fourths of all new jobs, know they are likely to be hit with a health care reform payroll tax of up to 6 percent if they don't fund at least 72.5 percent of each employee's insurance coverage. But there is no way to know whether the insurance will be affordable after health care reform passes. So they aren't hiring new employees now and they aren't investing in new ventures. That's a prescription for economic stagnation." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

"Even though Fannie Mae's shady accounting practices have been public knowledge since 2004, their lobbying efforts bought protection from Democrats in congress until the subprime mortgage market collapsed leaving taxpayers on the hook for up to $200 billion." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

"Small employers can now escape the obligation to provide health care for their employees by paying an 8% payroll tax. Many small employers will seize that offer. Their employees will have to go shopping for themselves in a very complicated and confusing marketplace. Many will opt for the seeming security of the government-run plan. Over time, the public option will grow, setting private insurance on the road to extinction – or at best to a tightly regulated new role as the health equivalent of public utilities. The big decisions will be made in Washington; the insurers will comply." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

And employers who do not currently offer health plans, will have to cut their payrolls in order to pay the government's fine. - Craig Eddy

"Stiff fines, 5 years in jail or purchase a $15,000 Health Insurance policy. This is all designed to force Health Insurance Companies out of business to facilitate a single payer government system. For 300 Million people. By a country trillions of dollars in debt in the depths of the worst recession in modern history." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

"The Congressional Budget Office has yet to determine what this provision of the health care bill will cost the vending machine industry, but the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) has provided the CBO with an estimate of the cost for their members.  NAMA estimates that in the first year, the regulation will cost over $56 million." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet
