POLL: UNINSURED AMERICANS REJECT OBAMACARE
A new Gallup poll brings more terrible news for President Obama and his signature health plan, showing that only 22% of uninsured Americans who plan to buy insurance have visited the ObamaCare exchanges. One of the major selling points for using ObamaCare to disrupt our health care system (that polls showed up to 80% of Americans were satisfied with) was to insure the uninsured. But according to this poll, only a very small minority of that small minority is even interested in obtaining insurance.

FDA’s Proposed Trans Fat Ban: An Attack on Freedom
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking the first step to ban trans fat. It has made a preliminary determination that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which are the major dietary source of trans fat in processed food, are not “generally recognized as safe.” The FDA is trying to control what people eat. This isn’t even about behavior modification anymore, since the public has already modified its behavior in a way that meets the government’s wishes. The FDA is now playing the role of nutrition activist and ignoring the most important issue: the freedom of Americans.

Despite Community Protests, Vietnam Sentences Christians to Prison
As one of the five remaining Communist nations on earth, Vietnam continues to pursue a policy of tight control over the spread of religion, and especially Christianity. Only a few denominations are recognized as legal, and anyone that chooses to worship in their home or a church not a part of one of those denominations can be arrested and imprisoned. In this case, despite being a part of a recognized church, two Catholic parishioners were arrested for unclear reasons. Their arrest sparked protests which were brutally crushed by Vietnamese security forces. Last week, the two were sentenced to several months in prison.
