Health Care Hypocrites

September 23, 2009

President Bush tried to cut Medicare spending several times to trim the deficits and offset rising health care costs. Each time, he was vilified by the Democrats, and Democrats voted as a bloc against those cuts, defeating them every time. In 2008, they even overrode a Bush veto to stop Bush from implementing Medicare cuts. [...]

Timothy McVeigh And Free Speech

September 21, 2009

I've pretty much had my fill of liberals condemning free speech, and then using the specters of racism and/or violent right-wing boogeymen as the excuse. In my last three posts, I have outlined examples of the left calling the right racist. It's the number one argument they use to discount the Tea Party protests. [...]

We Don't Have Free Market Health Care

September 10, 2009

One thing I've never been able to understand in the health care reform debate is why the Republican idea to allow health insurance companies to compete on a nationwide basis isn't incorporated into the health care reform bill(s). President Obama stresses competition as the primary reason for the public option, but every thinking person knows [...]

Click Your Heels Together Three Times And Say 'The Stimulus Is Working'

September 8, 2009

“Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.” – Senator Barack Obama, in a 2006 floor speech preceding a Senate vote to extend the federal debt limit.

Van Jones Resigns – Yes We Can !

September 7, 2009

First of all, good riddance to Van Jones, President Obama's former Green Jobs Czar. As I wrote previously, he is a radical loon who doesn't belong anywhere near the White House. I'm glad he resigned (or was forced to resign. We may never know). I'd be more than happy to never write about him again, [...]

Radicals In Power

September 2, 2009

One of the most disturbing things about Barack Obama is not Obama himself, but rather some of the people around him, including several people he has put into positions of authority. I've already detailed the radical nature of a couple Obama administration personnel, Science Czar John Holdren and FCC Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd. Holdren has [...]

Obama's Union Payoffs

September 1, 2009

"We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama" – Andy Stern, President of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
"I owe these unions." – Barack Obama
Obama hasn't forgotten he owes the unions, who were instrumental in getting him elected President. In his first two weeks in office, Obama issued three pro-union executive orders. In his third [...]

The Daily Democrat

August 28, 2009

At a townhall meeting, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean was asked why tort reform is not included in ObamaCare. Then an amazing thing happened. Dean came very close to telling the truth. I was stunned. The truth ? Did Dean get DNC clearance for that ? I hope he doesn't get flagged [...]

Obama Supports Offshore Drilling

August 22, 2009

I mentioned in my last post that President Obama was supporting offshore oil drilling in America.
But only in SOUTH America, not here. Following are the details of that support, from the Wall Street Journal:
The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge [...]

One Liners

August 20, 2009

- One nice thing about Bill Clinton's presidency was that you could oppose his policies without being called a racist (mostly).
- People who think Bush went into Iraq to enrich Halliburton have no right to complain about the Birthers.
- When you go looking for "code words" for racism, aren't you just making stuff up [...]

Killing The Land Of Opportunity

August 18, 2009

In the last nine months, our federal government has bailed out big business left and right. Wall Street, banks, insurance companies, car companies. The federal government serves as a backstop for big business. Big business also happens to be the ones with the deep pockets, lobbyists, and campaign cash to help get the politicians re-elected. [...]
