If You Were A Democrat In Congress, What Would Your First Domestic Priority Be?

Health care reform? Cap-and-trade? Or, perhaps, economic recovery and jobs?

Even so, she said, “unemployment is likely to remain at its severely elevated level,” and noted expectations that few […]

Senate Defeats Dem Leader Reid’s ‘Doc Fix’ Plan

Roll Call is reporting that the $250 billion extension to the Medicare physician payment program was defeated in the Senate today. Reid couldn’t even get a simple majority losing in a 47 to 53 vote.

Democrats Still Against Transparency in Congress

According to McClatchy news, in the Democrat’s 2006 campaign book, in the “integrity” section, the Democratic leadership vowed that legislation would be posted online for 24 hours before consideration of the final versions of any bill.

Administration Aggrandizes President, Demonizes Others

Look, it’s entirely fair to criticize the Bush Administration for not adapting our military strategy to meet changing circumstances in Afghanistan, but it’s unbecoming for the incumbent Administration to act as if they’re the first ones to ask critical questions while the previous one did not: One of President Obama’s top advisers said Sunday the […]

 

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed.

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region. President […]

 


Even SEIU Says ACORN is Toxic

In an amusing case of the pot calling the kettle, Anna Burger, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), told Representative Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) that the SEIU had dumped ACORN during a Sept. 30 hearing conducted by the House Financial Services Committee. Apparently Mrs. Burger felt that ACORN was too toxic for […]

 

Meg Whitman’s Extreme Pro-Abortion Views

A few weeks ago Jon Fleischman of FlashReport.org was fortunate enough to snag an interview with gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. But the results of one segment of the meeting left him admittedly non-plussed, or as he termed it “unnerved.” Fleischman was aghast to learn of just how extreme Meg Whitman’s views on abortion really are. […]

Brave Mom Fights Forced Unionization and Gov. Quinn

We’ve been reporting to you of the outrageous under-the-radar actions of Governor Pat Quinn and his Executive Order 9-15.

ABC News: Global Warming ‘Helps Taliban, al Qaeda’

Increasingly, the Old Media appears to be engaged in satire and here is another story that could serve as an example of it.

Gas From Shale Oil Would Solve Energy Problems

While we pay $zillions to terror-sympathetic Muslim regimes for oil, we are sitting on all the energy we will need for decades: Advances in technology for extracting gas from shale and methane beds have quickened dramatically, altering the global balance of energy faster than almost anybody expected.

Maine, Tennessee, Massachusetts Universal Healthcare Plans a Bust

Both President Obama and the Democratic Congress have ignored the mess that three states have made of their economy and tax burden by attempting to create a public option and/or universal healthcare.

Another of Obama’s Radical Appointees

The Old Media wholly ignored the story, but one of the extremists that Barack Obama appointed as a so-called czar in his government had to step down when the full extent of his un-American radicalism was exposed on the Internet.
