- It's Not Over -- By: Ramesh Ponnuru December 24, 2009Democrats are doing a victory lap. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says that with Senate passage of the Reid bill, “Health-care reform is now a matter of when.” The press is doing its best to convey the impression that Republicans are throwing in the towel -- follow the link in the last sentence to see a good example of such reporting.

- Unhealthy Arrogance -- By: Thomas Sowell December 29, 2009The only thing healthy about Congress’s health-insurance legislation is the healthy skepticism about it shown by most of the public, as revealed by polls. What is most unhealthy about this legislation is the raw arrogance in the way it was conceived and passed.

- Repealing Obamacare December 20, 2009C.K. MacLeod writes at Hot Air: Dismantling, impeding, nullifying, and, in the end, fully repealing this bill does not require 60 Republicans or 60 conservatives: Greater legal, legislative, and historical minds than mine must already be studying the precedents and gaming the scenarios, but we can observe here that, if passing popular legislation in the Sena […]
- Are the Wheels Coming Off? December 15, 2009In Washington, it's being rumored that there is no health care "reform" bill for which Harry Reid can get 60 votes. Meanwhile, in Nevada, Reid is trailing every Republican challenger by an almost identical margin. The Democrats are dying on this issue: the current Rasmussen survey shows opponents of the Democrats' plan--whatever it may be […]

The politicians who backed ObamaCare, of course. If 61% of Americans oppose the Senate bill, it is because the senators who support it have failed to make their case. It’s hard to see how someone who thinks they had a good case to make can excuse this failure, much less present it as an achievement […]

The Left wanted détente -- which is French for “surrender.” The country loosely followed containment, a program outlined by George Kennan in 1946, which argued that the political contradictions of the Soviet state would eve […]
