Premature Baby Left to Die Under Britain’s Socialized Medicine

Posted on by Dave Blount

Comrade Obama is all heart when it comes to bailing out bloated corporations, but he’s less sympathetic regarding the most vulnerable people on the planet — as when he aggressively defended the policy of leaving the survivors of botched abortions unattended until they die. This is fortunate, because it takes unsentimental resolve to impose socialized […]

 

‘Life Expectancy’ A Bad Measure of Successful Healthcare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Forbes Magazine will feature a report by the Hudson Institute’s Marie-Josee Kravis who points out the fallacy of tying a nation’s average life expectancy to its level of effective healthcare. In her estimation, life expectancy does not translate necessarily to good or bad healthcare and the left’s penchant for using it as a metric to […]

 

Obama Talks Healthcare Tonight and it Doesn’t Matter

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is going to offer “his” healthcare prescriptions tonight at a special joint session of Congress. But why is he doing this now? After all, the bills are already written and most of the committees have already passed their versions out of committee. What is it that Obama will say that will make any […]

 

The Merger Of The Fringe & Mainstream On The Left

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s no secret that Democrats are much more forgiving of the foibles of their own side than Republicans have ever been. Look to liberal heroes like Ted Kennedy (left a woman to drown to death), Robert Byrd (member of the KKK), and Barney Frank (had a prostitution ring running out of his house) for evidence […]

 

Comrade Obama to Chair UN Security Council

Posted on by Dave Blount

How’s this for symbolic: Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council. The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament — one of […]

 

Sarah Palin: Barack Obama’s Nemesis

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The press alternately calls Sarah Palin stupid or irrelevant. However, both in political instinct and policy substance, it’s clear that she is neither. Today, her Op-Ed appears in the Wall Street Journal. It’s good. Cogent, clear, and well-written. She’s got a ghost-writer, say lib operatives. Let’s hope! Does Barack Obama write all his own stuff? […]

What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation: Alright, right off the bat, one of the most under-reported stories of 2008 […]

 

Democrat Truthers And Teaching 9/11 The Liberal Way

Posted on by William Teach

The New Republic admits what we already knew: Democrats are Truthers (via Jonah Goldberg) Jones was wrong, actually, in disavowing his support for 9/11 conspiracy theory. He signed the document, which can only mean that he supports the idea that 9/11 was planned, or that the Bushies knew something more than they have said, or […]

 

Paul Krugman Vs Sarah Palin On Health Care

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, my, with Congress back in session doing things to restrict and mess up our lives (unless you are basically a ward of Los Federales. Then you get free big screen TVs), it is getting hot and heavy in the opinion pages. Let’s start with Krugman But what is one to make of the practical, […]

 

Gov’t Refuses Transplant, NYTimes Says it’s Insurance Problem?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is interesting to see how people will twist and turn reality in order to support President Obama’s socialistic healthcare program, but this story has to take the cake. It is the story as detailed in The New York Times of Eric De La Cruz, a young man who was sadly diagnosed with a heart […]

:  On the same day that President Obama is poised to deliver a key speech to Congress regarding his healthcare plan, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin wrote an editorial in The Wall Street Journal countering the specifics of his proposal. Governor Palin first addresses Obama’s assurance that health care reform will decrease waste and inefficiency: […]

Dead Man Walking?

Posted on by McQ

Marc Ambinder takes sophistry and spin to a new level in a post at the Atlantic entitled “How Obama Survived August”. Of course, for most of us, it isn’t yet clear he has survived August. We’ll see how he does tomorrow night and what, if anything, that brings before deciding if he’s still among the […]

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Are the press, the mainstream media, now the alternate media? Lorie Byrd thinks the media ain’t mainstream anymore. She says: Something happened last week that underscored this phenomenon.

Are We Witnessing The Decline And Fall Of The American Non-Empire?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

America, as Bill Whittle so eloquently pointed out, is not, and never has been an Empire builder. Still, America has been a world-power since almost her inception over 200 years ago. Is it over? Today, we learn that America lost to the Swiss as the world’s most competitive economy. Consider, too, MaxedOutMama‘s take on unemployment […]

 

About That Bush I Education Speech

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Byron York points out that the Democrats investigated George HW Bush’s speech. This is delicious: Unlike the Obama speech, in 1991 most of the controversy came after, not before, the president’s school appearance. The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president’s political […]

 

Obama’s Hate Speech: Team Obama Scrubs Website of Posting

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week, the MyBarackObama website forced a meet-up posting down the memory hole. Obama’s Organizing For America (his ground stormtrooper organization that evolved from his campaign army) section of his website had a posting for what was going to be a meet-up in Illinois to push Obamacare. Apparently, even the extremists that run Obama’s website […]

 

Yale University Press Censors Harmless Muhammad Cartoons

Posted on by Dave Blount

Don’t be too hard on media outlets too craven to publish the tepid Danish cartoons that Muslims used as a thin pretext to intimidate dhimmis. True, it was impossible for them to do their job without letting us see for ourselves that the cartoons were nothing any sane person would riot over. But there are […]
