All Republican Candidates For Congress Need To Pledge To Repeal Obamacare

Just for the record, let me say this: I will not support any Republican running for Congress who won’t publicly pledge to repeal Obamacare. I don’t care what district or state they’re in, I don’t care what their other views are, and I don’t care what their reasoning may be. If they’re not willing to […]

 

Cato Study: Unions Violate Freedom

The Cato Institute has issued its latest Tax and Budget bulletin, this one centered on public-sector unions. The essence of the report is that public employee unions violate freedom, make government more expensive and inefficient, and the incestuous relationship between unions and politicians takes away power from the voters. While labor unions do play a […]

 

The Hawkins Strategy: Repealing Obamacare By Cutting Off The Funds

The problem with doing a full repeal of Obamacare is that it will take a majority in the House, the presidency, and 60 votes in the Senate. Were I a betting man, I’d say condition one is very likely by 2012, condition 2 is definitely possible, but condition 3 is basically out of reach given […]

 

The RNC Wins With FireNancyPelosi.Com

The Republican National Committee launched FireNancyPelosi.com immediately upon the passage of the health care bill by House Democrats. It has been a flaming success raising far more money than they even expected within hours of putting up the site. Todd Herman, Director of New Media says: With barely any advance advertising (ads only went up […]

 

Obamacare Won’t Be Repealed, But It Will Make Americans Hate Democrats

My not-so-cheery thoughts on Obamacare from over at Pajamas Media: Meanwhile, Americans are stuck with what the Democrats have wrought. And much as they hate the policy rape, they’ll come to identify with their captors soon enough. Why? It’s human nature. First, no one will allow Congress to repeal a law that would take away […]

 

Pension Funding Levels: All Depends On The Market

President Obama has become President Wall Street because even he realizes that his union buddies will be s.o.l. if the market tanks. Why? Because he knows that pensions depend on the stability and health of the market. Pensions go to union members and depending on your state, some unions are in worse health than others. […]

 

John Kerry’s “Kindler, Gentler GWOT” Finally Sees The Light Of Day

We’re not quite at the stage of dropping poodles and bleeding ketchup, but, getting there! Reporting from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower At the nightly “hot wash” debriefing on the Dwight D. Eisenhower, a pilot from the Pukin’ Dogs squadron was explaining how he dropped a 500-pound bomb on a Taliban target in Afghanistan — […]

 

NY Times Upset That Debate Rages On When It Should Be Done

Somebody get a waaaaah-mbulance for the Fish Wrap Health Vote Is Done, but Partisan Debate Rages On As jubilant Democrats prepared for President Obama to sign their landmark health care legislation in a big ceremony at the White House, Republicans opened a campaign on Monday to repeal the legislation and to use it as a […]

 

ACORN: The Nutty Little Group Falls On Hard Times

Yes, ACORN is done (in name only). But it should be noted, that they served the purpose they were created for: Electing a leftist president and getting leftists elected from sea to shining sea to pass a health care bill that is the statist Trojan horse gift to the American people. Given that Democrats now […]

 


Will Ann Coulter Survive Canada?

Better question: Will Canada survive Coulter? Ms. Coulter has spoken less than respectfully about Canada itself in the past. “They’d better hope the United States doesn’t roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent,” she once said during a television debate. Van Helsing previously […]

 

This Just In, Liberals Are Murderers

-By Warner Todd Huston What is it that the extremists of the anti-war left, liberals, and Democrats say about the U.S. practice of capturing and detaining terror suspects? Don’t they say that it is wrong and evil? To that end, the left has through constant abuse of our own legal system made it practically untenable […]

 

As Government Fist Tightens, Philadelphia Degenerates Into Anarchy

Here comes the Hopey Change. In Venezuela, even as Hugo Chavez consolidates totalitarian control over the government, the streets have descended into chaos. That oil-rich country’s socialism-induced decline toward failed state status presages what Hope & Change are inflicting on America. The size and scope of our government are exploding; when the ramifications of the […]

 


Freedom of Speech, Canadian Style

The great Ann Coulter will be spreading her countermoonbat message on Canadian campuses this week. Needless to say, progressives aren’t pleased. They believe in freedom of speech — unless of course you don’t toe their line. Then you might find yourself thrown in jail, as stressed in this letter from the University of Ottawa’s Vice-President […]

 

Trials for bin Laden? Why?

There has never been a trial of a fallen national leader that would stand up to the scrutiny of good criminal law. They have always been politically motivated, full of passion, and short on legal niceties or any observation of technical precision. Because of this, should the United States capture Usamma bin Laden, she should […]

 

Obama Forcing Gov’t Costs to Rise With Union Sop

Here we are in an economic downturn and Barack Obama is forcing government costs to rise. The Detroit News has noticed it, too, with a recent editorial on Obama’s absurd “responsible contractor” rule on vendors that contract with the federal government. This new rule would force all vendors that contract with the government to exist […]

 

What Have Democrats Wrought?

The Democrats have wrought a mess: Confusion. Chaos. Strife. Division. Rage. And they love it. States are already readying suits over the constitutionality. Citizens are up in metaphorical arms. Senators are drawing lines: GOP senators emerged Monday to warn that the health debate had taken a toll on the institution, and warning of little work […]

 


Slick Willie Busts On The Goracle

Heartache! Former President Bill Clinton made a return to Washington’s public life, speaking to the annual Gridiron Dinner as a stand-in for President Barack Obama and poking some fun at himself, his Oval Office successors and the press corps before getting in pitches for passage of health legislation and aid to Haiti. Elsewhere in his […]

 

So, Obasocialist Care Passed. What Next?

First, the supporters, also known as Constitution and freedom haters, most of whom do not even understand the legislation (including those Congress people who voted for it,) will get to gloat a bit. Fine. You won. Barely. I’m not quite sure how one can call a 219-212 vote a victory, when the bipartisanship was on […]

 



Stupak and Lessons Learned: Democrats Lie. Chronically

Image courtesy of cafepress.com The second lesson that should be learned is that there is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat. Partisanship and agendas over-ride all. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Bart Stupak sold out for an Executive Order;:  a piece of paper that holds absolutely no merit, particularly when coming […]

 

A Short, Obligatory Post About The “Slurs” At The Capitol Hill Tea Party

If anyone at the Tea Party on Capitol Hill dropped the N-bomb, used any other kind of offensive slur like “f@ggot or wetback, or spit on anyone, I uncategorically condemn their behavior. Moreover, let me add that I don’t think it’s impossible that such things could have happened. The world’s full of idiots and it’s […]

 

Stupak’s Sell Out In Quotes: Even Liberals Admit The Executive Order Is Meaningless

One of the things that happened yesterday when the health care bill was passed was that the pro-life Democrat was proven to be almost as much of a mythical creature as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and:  the:  Loch Ness Monster. The Stupak block spent weeks of steadfastly opposing the Senate bill because they freely […]

 


Modern Day Intolerable Acts

The Heritage Foundation responds to the health care vote. They say it better (and with less cussing) than I could: As for the States filing suit? YES. South Carolina, where I live, has already committed to doing so. Our Attorney General, Henry McMaster, released a statement on Friday and again tonight. After the U.S. House’s […]

 

John Boehner’s Awesome Speech Before The Health Care Vote

Last night, right before the health care vote, House Minority leader John Boehner gave an absolutely inspired speech. It was one of the best I’ve heard in a while and so I asked his staff to send me a copy of his remarks. They complied and here they are: I rise with a sad and […]
