Just Say No to Health Insurance

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Everyone talks about reforming health insurance while ignoring a better alternative: healthcare risk pools. Powerful lobbyists for the healthcare insurance industry have convinced politicians to perpetuate the current system of health insurance, hoping that minor tweaks will solve the escalating crisis. Conservative think tanks have even bought into the system due to heavy funding by […]

Posted on by William Teach

Perhaps this is one of the reasons Team Obama is arguing that the mandate is a tax (USA Today) Next month’s challenge to the Obama-sponsored health care law could affect the care available to most Americans, alter the balance of power between Washington and the states and remain a flash point through this presidential campaign.

Attacks have been made on religious liberties (see healthcare mandate on contraception in religious affiliated institutions) http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/catholic-bishops-criticize-new-contraception-proposal.html and freedom of the press (see White House and Media Matters coordinate attacks on FOX News) http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/12/inside-media-matters-sources-memos-reveal-erratic-behavior-close-coordination-with-white-house-and-news-organizations/ While it may be correct to […]

Obama Reinforces Stance On Unconstitutional Contraceptive Mandate

Posted on by William Teach

It boggles the mind why Obama would want to pick this fight with Catholics, which also means Conservatives, Tea Party members, Republicans, and the 60+% of Americans who oppose ObamaCare get riled up again, in an election year. Democrats, including Obama, avoided mentioning ObamaCare during the 2010 mid-term elections in the same manner people avoid […]

 

An Obama Compromise On ObamaCare Contraception Requirement?

Posted on by William Teach

Let’s start off with this from LauraW at Ace Of Spades Did Catholic organizations support Obamacare because they either assumed or were told that they would get an exception based on their religious beliefs? Because if that is true, then essentially they agreed to support an infringement on others’ freedoms just so long as their […]

Susan G. Komen Charity Starts to Enter the 21st Century

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Western civilization has gradually progressed away from barbaric practices. By the 20th century, most developed nations stopped torturing people and executing them in cruel ways. In the US, only humane ways of execution are permitted for executing the most notorious criminals.   Similarly, support for abortion decreased in recent years as awareness spread of how […]

 

The “progressive” War on Christianity

Posted on by Michael Fell

This past week, Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced a decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Their decision was based on the fact that to a large measure, the business of Planned Parenthood is abortion. A determination substantiated by a statistical analysis of Planned Parenthood’s services. http://liveaction.org/blog/38-4-of-pp-health-center-income-is-from-abortions/ Planned Parenthood continues to insist that they […]

 

NY Times: Feminist Is Codeword For “Supports Infanticide”

Posted on by William Teach

The decision by the Susan G. Komen foundation to no longer provide funds to Planned Parenthood has driven the abortion debate to front and center, and driven Liberals nuts, highlighting once again that abortion on demand is one of the bedrocks of their beliefs.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember back in the days of the debate over Obamacare when unions were the biggest voices screaming in support of the legislation?

Obama’s Electronic Medical Records Requirements Already Causing Job Loss

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While the Old Media has been ecstatic over recent job numbers, claiming that some 200,000 jobs have been added to the economy, we should note that while Obama giveth Obama also taketh away. The media may be trying to claim the President has “created or saved” jobs (the latest weasel word is he’s created job […]

 

Mitt Romney: My Mass. Healthcare Plan Is ‘Fundamentally Conservative’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Romney did it again. On Fox News he linked Romneycare to conservative principles, an outrageous act in the eyes of any conservative. But hold the boat, people, because Romney didn’t exactly say that Romneycare itself is a conservative policy. And therein lies the weasel words that Romney has used to describe the Massachusetts healthcare plan […]

This past weekend the Washington Post published a hit piece on the grand opening of a museum in Georgia dedicated to the birthplace of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Alter: Obama is ‘Honest’ and ‘Free of Scandal’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When does a columnist write something so utterly absurd that his credibility is forever damaged? I am not sure how to answer that in general terms, but I think at least one journalist answered the question for his own, now thoroughly destroyed veracity. Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg has written one of the most ridiculous, least […]

 

State treasurer of MA absolutely shreds RomneyCare, which “has nearly bankrupted the state” and is surviving solely because of federal aid

Posted on by Doug Ross

The level of economic illiteracy required to believe that a one-sized-fits-all, individually-mandated, government-controlled health care system could somehow succeed is really quite stunning. Which says a lot about Mitt Romney’s belief in free enterprise and the market system. “If President Obama and the Democrats repeat the mistake of the health insurance reform here in Massachusetts […]
