Blindfolded.

The AP is reporting that President Obama is “looking at any way to create jobs”. That’s interesting. He must not be looking very hard. Or maybe he really is looking, but managed to get something in his eye. Or maybe he’s faking it. Never waste a crisis, you know. It’d be hard to imagine that [...]

Say it ain’t Snowe.

If one lone Republican supporting your socialist bill indicates “bipartisan” support, then Max Baucus and the Democrats got that yesterday as the first hurdle to a government takeover of our insurance industry was cleared.
Here’s Liberal in Republican clothing Olympia Snowe ruminating on whether a “public option” might be the thing to fix “what’s wrong” with [...]

Bumper sticker.

The following is part of a longer piece published by Doug O’Brien over  at biggovernment.com (the site on which all those delicious ACORN videos originated) that unfortunately is too long for a bumper sticker, but which nonetheless captures the spirit driving a majority of Americans in opposition to Obamacare these days:
Every day, the administration’s promotional [...]

Guess who’s coming to dinner?

Someone named Noam N. Levey penned this wonderful little bit of misinformation in today’s LA Times:
Imagine the debate over healthcare legislation on Capitol Hill as a tussle among three friends out for dinner.
All three have been struggling to pay their bills lately. When the check arrives, they try to figure out how to divide it. [...]

What if ‘naked liberalism’ is just VERY unpopular?

Is it really true that BUT FOR racist white Americans, Obama’s liberal agenda (including the socialization of our health care industry) would skate through Congress and become law?
I guess we could test the data, couldn’t we? If racism is really the single factor holding Obama’s agenda back, we should be able to find recent historical [...]

In which Thomas Friedman gets it exactly wrong.

Here’s Thomas Friedman in yesterday’s NY Times:
One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the [...]

Is there anything that the Federal Government is good at?

The title of this post is almost as long as the post itself.
Consider that the Washington DC Public schools are the only public schools in the country that are completely administered by the Federal Government.
Want to take a guess at what they spend per student?
You got it. $16,540.
Bear in mind that the average cost per [...]

Insurance.

Sometimes, when you’re arguing back and forth on a topic for too long, it’s easy to sort of lose focus on what all the hub bub is about and it’s worth taking just a few moments to step back and put your hands on the arguments once again.
Health Care reform. Or is it Health Insurance [...]

Keep your eye on the ball.

Ever get the feeling that Democrats can’t possibly be this stupid? To increase deficits to unmanageable levels on purpose under the guise of ‘fixing’ the economy? To cram health care ‘reform’ legislation through congress without even bothering to understand what it means let alone whether it will actually reform anything or make things infinitely worse? [...]

Life expectancy.

Ask any liberal why we should embark on a UK/Canada style of nationalized health care (go ahead, I’ll wait, I’m sure you won’t have to look too long), and I’ll bet you a thousand dollars they’ll shoot back that the life expectancy in those 2 countries is greater than ours. They probably won’t say anything [...]

Because they’ve been so trustworthy before.

The socialists are promising that THIS time it will be different. Forget about that whole Medicare thing where we promised to take care of a small SLIVER of our population (the elderly). Forget that we utterly failed. Focus instead how THIS TIME it will be different and that we’re more effectively manage the health of [...]

You talkin’ to me?

When the socialists get up on the podiums in their townhall meetings and advocate a single payer health care system that will put private insurance companies out of business, who exactly is their audience? Are they talking to you?
Consider the latest poll from Rasmussen:

Thirty-two percent (32%) of voters nationwide favor a single-payer health care system [...]

Obamacare–trojan horse for single payer.

I don’t remember if I ever posted or linked to the following video, but even if I did, it doesn’t hurt to do so again. Please watch this so that the next time you hear the socialists talking about preserving choices, you’ll understand that it’s all a ruse.

Remember that nothing competes [...]

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Imagine you’re on a boat, ankle-deep in water. In the center of the boat is a large hole. Someone tells you to fix the boat.
What’s the problem? The hole is permitting water to get into the boat. Unless that hole is plugged, the boat will continue to take on water. Fix the hole and your [...]

French toast.

Put a cap on the price of ANYTHING…and when the real VALUE of that thing EXCEEDS that price, then you’ll RUN OUT of that thing and there will be SHORTAGES. Unless of course you RATION that thing so that people can only access it in limited amounts.
NOT ONLY THAT….but when the people in charge of [...]

First, cause no harm.

The Obama administration and the liberal controlled Congress are obstinately trying to impose their demonstrably inept socialist ideology on America. We’re resisting. This is good. If we hold out until November, we can sweep out the rats and permit US citizens to once again achieve a foothold in their own government. It won’t solve the [...]

Life.

Here’s what you should be most afraid of if the radical left currently in control of Washington get their way on destroying adequate health care in America:
The Congressional majority wants to pay for its $1 trillion to $1.6 trillion health bills with new taxes and a $500 billion cut to Medicare. This cut will come [...]

Represent.

From the “if we don’t want it, what are our elected officials doing pushing for it” file, comes this latest Rasmussen report:
The health care reform legislation working its way through Congress has lost support over the past month. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% of U.S. voters are at least somewhat [...]

Wonderful.

Sometimes an apt analogy is the perfect medicine for thick-headedness.
Check this out:

Hide the ball.

There’s a trick play in baseball where the first baseman pretends to throw the ball back to the pitcher after a pickoff attempt, but instead, he actually holds on to it. He hides it in his glove. The idea is to get the runner on first to bite on the ruse and wander off the [...]

The dumb one.

Turns out Obama was the dumb one after all.
Victor Davis Hanson wraps it neatly for us in a pretty pink bow:
In the recent Cairo speech, Obama’s historical allusions were . . . suspect. Almost every one of his references was either misleading or incomplete. He suggested that today’s Middle East tension was fed by [...]

Gobbledegook.

Had to read this headline twice.
Obama seeks fiscal responsibility mantle
He’s seeking it now? I mean, it’s nice, if it’s true, but I can’ t believe that this is about anything except Obama trying to cover his ass after his MASSIVE outlay of irresponsible spending contained in the “stimulus” package. Let’s see what you think.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) [...]

The end.

I can almost hear Morrison in the background.
It’s late, and I want to go watch Jon and Kate on the Tivo, but before you go to bed tonight (or as soon as you get a chance tomorrow) please click through to this link for an excellent analysis of what awaits us when Obama and company [...]

You don’t say.

NEW YORK Reuters – Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged on Tuesday that some waste is inevitable in the spending of a $787 billion economic stimulus package, in a characteristically blunt assessment.
“We know some of this money is going to be wasted,” Biden said during a roundtable discussion in New York with business leaders aimed at [...]

Because this sends the right message.

When you’re volunteering at a food bank.
Via NY Daily News:
While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
That’s right: These sneakers – suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink [...]
