The “Affordable Care Act:” not a mandate?

Posted on by TrogloPundit

That is the odd conclusion of Andrew Sabl, writing at “The Reality-Based Community.” Reality-based. As in: I just watched “Chipmunks: The Squeakual” with my two younger boys. It features talking, singing, dancing, remote-controlled-helicopter flying chipmunks, which means it’s only based on reality. Andrew starts off with his dismay at the phrase “individual mandate.” The phrase […]

 

‘Father, Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

I just finished “Passion of the Christ.” From Luke 23:46, “‘And speaking in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit’. Having said this, he breathed His last breath.” And the image, from Wikipedia, “Cross-section diagram of the location of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, in relation to […]

 

Octobama! Nothing is Beyond His Reach!

Posted on by Donald Douglas

From Byron York, “Obamacare Was Mainly Aimed at Redistributing Wealth” (via Memeorandum): It hasn’t attracted much notice, but recently some prominent advocates of Obamacare have spoken more frankly than ever before about why they supported a national health care makeover. It wasn’t just about making insurance more affordable. It wasn’t just about bending the cost […]

Phil Hare told some of his constituents that he didn’t care about the U.S. Constitution and that he was going to help push through Congress Obama’s un-Constitutional take over of our healthcare anyway.

Full Text/Video of President Obama’s Charlotte, NC Speech Today

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

Read it here. The video: Here’s the complete, extended, verbatim money quote, which I paraphrased in my last post: If this health care bill never existed, if I didn’t do anything about it, we’d actually be a trillion dollars worse off over the long term. But even with the saving we’re getting from health care, […]

 

Doctors Begin to Rebel

Posted on by Dave Blount

Will ObamaCare destroy the medical profession, driving the capable away from the field and leaving us with a handful of foreign-trained Third-World immigrants given to car-bombing airports, as socialized medicine has done to Britain? Or will the State be turned back? At least some are showing signs of resistance: “I’m not turning anybody away — […]

If She Comes Gunnin’ For it, the Job’s Hers

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Some time ago the former Governor of Alaska asked “How’s that hopey, changey thing workin’ out for ya?” Now that it’s been a couple of months, someone at DailyKOS figured out hey, that sounds like it could be a valid point, we’d better put together some stuff to at least pretend to answer it. The […]

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Relationships are difficult. I’m here to help. Here’s some words of wisdom to keep your relationship from turning dull and boring: 1. Keep the mystery alive—Too many people reveal too much too often.

Bad Numbers For Bad Democrats

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Rasmussen’s recent poll should concern Democrats–if they hadn’t already enacted the single most transformational piece of legislation ever knowing full well that the American people hated it. But they made that decision knowing full well that their futures hung in the balance. Or maybe they didn’t care about the future because they had some other […]

 

Phil Hare: “I don’t worry about the Constitution”

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

This video just boggles my mind. He doesn’t know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. “Where in the Constitution does it give you the authority to…” “I don’t know. I don’t know.” And then he pretends to be insulted when they call him a liar. Because he is. And then he […]

Obama’s Biggest Lobbyist Winners from Left-Wing Advocacy Organizations

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the campaign trail, now President Obama regularly excoriated lobbyists. He said he’d make the government “open and transparent” and said he’d make it hard for lobbyists to “curry favor” with his administration “based on how much they can spend on a fancy dinner.” Once elected, John Podesta, a member of his transition team, said […]

 

Hollywood Scripting: A Primer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Some have wondered how Hollywood works. There is the romantic version where a writer of talent writes an outstanding, heartfelt script, a director of vision expounds upon that script and actors with intensity bring it to life. Like much about romance that romantic image of Hollywood is a myth. No, what Hollywood does when it […]

 

ObamaCare, British Style: Bonuses for Service Denied

Posted on by Dave Blount

The beauty of capitalism is that it gives everyone an incentive to provide others with the goods and services they need. Socialism offers incentives too — but like everything on the left, they are depraved. From Airstrip One, which has already taken the plunge into the English version of ObamaCare: Patients’ groups expressed horror at […]

 

Obama’s Nonexistent Career as Law Professor

Posted on by Dave Blount

Some say that Barack Hussein Obama’s only qualifications are his skin color, a Muslim name that specifically recalls two prominent enemies of America, and hard-left political views that he usually knows enough to gloss over when the wrong people are listening — all of which endear him to the liberal elite ruling class that installed […]

 

Sigh. Now The iPad Is Bad For Man Induced Climate Change

Posted on by William Teach

One would think that Greenpeace would be happy with all the extra CO2 in the atmosphere, because it stimulates plant growth and will Kill All Humans, thereby freeing the animal kingdom from Evil Mankind. Alas, no A new report linking Apple’s iPad, which debuts Saturday, to global warming has prompted debate among environmentalists about the […]

We’re Going To Use Obamacare To Beat Democrats Like Baby Seals In November

Posted on by John Hawkins

Hey, America, you have a phone call. It’s Pravda on the line and they just called to say that they’re shocked at the sort of propaganda coming from our mainstream media.

MSM, Left Attempting to “Birtherize” the Tea Party Movement

Posted on by SusanAnne Hiller

In the past few weeks we have seen much more concentrated coverage of the tea partiers than I’m sure the Left can stomach and frankly, would love to wish away. The obsessive coverage of the tea party movement is clearly timed, organized, and coordinated in its execution and proves very interesting. Let me explain. It […]

 

Obamacare Bullies and Punishes The Children

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Well, the young adults. However, since 26 year olds are now still considered children under Obamacare, encouraged to mooch of their parents and their insurance policies like new millennium slackers, I feel safe in calling them children. The Democrats, with this bill, are, thus, harming The Children ™ and the newly minted as adults thirty-somethings. […]
