An Un-American Display? No Way To Treat A President?

Posted on by William Teach

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post opinion writer, apparently thinks history started on January 20, 2009. On the Opinions front page, the article is entitled “An Un-American Display,” while in the screeching single page, it is called “No Way To Treat A President.” Anyone who watched Wednesday night as President Obama explained his health-care reform proposals to […]

 

Will Obamacare Put Abortion Providers in Schools?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a section innocuously titled “School-Based Health Clinics,” the House bill, H.R. 3200, seems to set up Democrats to invite groups like Planned Parenthood into our schools to serve as a school “health clinic.” (‘Sec. 399Z-1. School-Based Health Clinics.) And even more insidiously the bill provides for these “clinics” to be initiated immediately — effective […]

 

Revenue Neutral? Hardly!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A couple of stories have recently come out that really put the lie to President Obama’s claims that “his” healthcare bill is revenue neutral. These on top of the original plan-killing news that came out of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office in July. In July the CBO said that Obama’s plan was clocking in at […]

 

Obamacare Gives Union Leaders Gov’t Power in Healthcare Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Kevin Mooney of the Washington Examiner has a piece from Sept. 2 that warns that H.R. 3200, the House healthcare bill, gives special consideration to union bosses for positions on various healthcare management boards. This means that Barack Obama is handing official government power to union bosses! Sections 123 and 2251 of H.R. 3200, the […]

 

ACORN Mob Attempts to Facilitate Child Prostitution, Tax Fraud

Posted on by Dave Blount

There really is nothing beneath Obama’s red-shirted goon squad ACORN — not even child prostitution: Officials with the controversial community organizing group ACORN were secretly videotaped offering to assist two individuals posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the Internal Revenue Service and providing guidance on how to claim underage […]

 

Barack Obama Speechifying Fail: Dan Riehl And John Hawkins Discuss The President’s Speech & The Republicans

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Was the President’s address a win? In the short term, just like Bill Clinton, yes. Did Bill Clinton get health care reform passed? Don’t think so. The speech, like most Obama soliloquies was rife with Strawmen. Neo Neocon knocks ’em down. Do Americans want a mandate to get insurance? We’ll see. Was Joe Wilson right […]

US lawmakers Wednesday paid tribute to the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who fought back against hijackers to stop it possibly hitting the Capitol in the September 11, 2001 attacks. “In memory of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 whose brave sacrifice on September 11, 2001 not […]

 

‘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 […]

 

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? […]

 

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 […]

 

President Obama’s Speech, Rules For Conservative Radicals And More…..Podcast 37

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. News outlets like the New York Times and NBC and ABC evening newscasts refused to cover the revelations surrounding President Obama’s “green jobs” czar, Van Jones. When […]

 

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 […]

Teamsters Chief Says ‘Public Option’ Not Vital to Healthcare Reform

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

James P. Hoffa is now saying that if Obama pulls the “public option” out of his healthcare bill, it is not a deal killer as far as union support is concerned. Hoffa said that he was only interested in what was “doable” and that they need to “get something done… and declare a victory.” Now […]

 

Surprise! Obama Admin Knew In Advance About Release Of Lockerbie Bomber

Posted on by William Teach

Do you know what happens when an American administration starts off by offending the Queen, the British P.M., the British press, and the British people as a whole? Then decides it is going to get all snappy over an issue? Yeah, they’ll get a nasty response from the British leaders (H/t Atlas Shrugs) Downing Street […]

 

Is Obama’s Commie ‘Green Czar’ A Quitter… Just Like Palin?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama made a huge mistake thinking that everyone in America hates their own country just like Reverend Wright, the killer Ayers, and now green czar Van Jones. But Obama was wrong. Some Americans still actually love their country. So, now that Van Jones’ apostasies have been revealed and he’s quit his president appointed position, I […]

 

Dem. Adviser Joe Trippi Admits Carter’s a ‘Failed Presidency’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Amusing note of the day: Well known Democratic advisor Joe Trippi called President Jimmy Carter’s a “failed presidency” on CNN yesterday. Trippi bemoaned what those nasty ol’ Republicans are trying to do to his Obammessiah but admitted that Carter was a failure as president. This is something we have not seen before coming from such […]

 

Van Jones Resigns After Apparently Having Done Nothing Wrong

Posted on by William Teach

Personally, I had thought he would not resign as long as the left leaning media ignored the story about his 9/11 Trutherism, his racism, his communism, his Marxism, his America hatred, etc and so on (I left a comment at Nice Deb to that affect). Fortunately, I was wrong White House environmental adviser Van Jones […]
