Posted on by William Teach

No, that is not a typo in the headline. I seriously doubt that The Smartest Man In The World Ever!!!!!! meant to say 3,000. I Blame Bush. Or Secretary Teleprompter. Just image had Bush made this claim, even by accident Now, so let me talk about the third thing, which is my proposal would bring […]

 

Presidential job approval numbers – what do they mean?

Posted on by McQ

I’m sure everyone remembers the left’s constant trumpeting of negative presidential popularity polls during the Bush administration. Understandably, now that the shoe is on the other foot, they’re not quite so keen on those polls anymore. However there is an interesting point to be drawn from them. Take this week’s Rasmussen poll on job approval […]

 

Felons in the White House?

Posted on by Dave Blount

Redemption is possible for anyone — even the odious Benedict Arlen Specter, who makes this constructive remark about the simmering White House job-bribing scandal most of the press has been studiously ignoring: There’s a crime called misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is when you don’t report a crime. So you’re getting into […]

 

Crisis of Culture

Posted on by Dave Blount

So, What’s The Liberal Answer To The Massive Shortage Of Doctors Obamacare Would Cause?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Barack Obama has never even attempted to make an honest case for health care reform. Instead, he’s simply promised everything to everybody. If you believe Obama, you think socialized medicine is going to cover more people, reduce costs, reduce the deficits, and improve the quality of care. In other words, there are no drawbacks whatsoever. […]

 

The DNC Should Fire Its Health Care Pollster

Posted on by John Hawkins

Obama’s pollster, Joel Benenson, has been making some utterly bizarre arguments for health care reform of late. If he really believes this stuff, he’s not competent enough to do his job. Of course, it’s entirely possible that he may be putting this nonsense out there because he believes Democratic Congressmen are stupid enough to buy […]

 

America Would Never Be The Same & That’s Why The Democrats Fight To The Death

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Even though, by now, you’re as disgusted and fed up with the topic of health care as I am, I write about health care. Again. Why?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Matt Lewis gets the exclusive story. Setting: Townhall, Somewhereville, America. Mood: Stacked crowd…except for this lady. Here’s what happened: Martin said she opposes Obama’s health care plan for philosophical, not parochial reasons, and after his speech, she caught the president’s attention. “I didn’t clap and I didn’t smile, and I just sort of held firm […]

 

Liberal Violence: Five Names You Should Know

Posted on by John Hawkins

Unfortunately, there are dangerous kooks, trigger-happy wackos, and lone gunmen out there. Bad people exist. Crazy people exist — and every so often, one of them snaps and there’s a resulting body count. To most people, this is just a tragic fact of life. However, to liberals in the media who are forever baffled by […]

 

Obama Orders Army NOT To Fly U.S. Flag in Haiti

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s bad enough that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is giving short shrift to American manufacturers and our economy by ordering extravagant new crystal stemware from Sweden to make the crystal cabinets in America’s embassies sparkle impressively, but now we learn that Barack Obama has told the U.S. relief forces in Haiti not to fly […]

That is not a surprise, but it is still worrying. There is much […]

 

Paul Ryan: ‘We are not governing here today, we are greasing the skids’

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

So said Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) during today’s Budget Committee farce wherein the “shell” bill was passed. It now heads over to be marked up and can include whatever they want, including public option, and can be loaded with earmarks to secure wavering or undecided votes. Like I said last night, everything is now on […]

 

NYT: Millions Spent To Sway Democrats. You Don’t Say? Actually, You DON’T Say

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Is it any wonder Americans hate with a pure, enraged hate, the politics of Washington, D.C.? What a disgusting town. The New York Times reports the obvious, yet again: The yearlong legislative fight over health care is drawing to a frenzied close as a multimillion-dollar wave of advertising that rivals the ferocity of a presidential […]

 

Remember When Hillary Clinton Was Shrieking Down This Health Care Road?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I don’t know if the legislation got this far down the road last time around or not, but I remember lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth and blathering of “for the children” mantras. Once again, Democrats have been done in by their legislative and punitive greed. Even if this bill passes, it will be […]

James Lovelock Then and Now

As icy waters pour over the gunwales of the sinking global warming hoax, rats begin to abandon ship. Here‘s environmental scientist James Lovelock in 2007, well before the climate crisis was widely known to be a swindle: Before this century is over, billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that […]

 

Sean Penn: Payaso, Izquierdista Estupido

Posted on by Dave Blount

Being a useful idiot may earn scorn from all decent Americans, but it’s not a totally thankless role. By endlessly praising socialist tyrant Hugo Chavez, going so far as to demand that his critics be imprisoned even outside Venezuela, Sean Penn has earned himself a doggie biscuit and pat on the head: Venezuelan President Hugo […]

 

AP Conflates Fake ‘Catholic’ Group With Catholic Church

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here is one of the sneaky tricks that the Old Media plays in order to support a cause. In this case it’s the Associated Press coming to the aid of Obamacare with “news” that a “Catholic” hospital group is coming out in support of Obamacare. Of course, the AP does not inform the reader that […]

Allegedly is the […]

 

House Democrats Start Their Health System Shell Game

Weekend At Bernie’s Health Care Reform Edition: This Dead Bill Is Looking Better Than Ever!
