Why, No, The GOP Hasn’t Given Up On “Repeal And Replace”

Posted on June 6, 2011June 6, 2011 by William Teach

It’s just been very hard to do, considering that the GOP doesn’t control the Senate nor the White House. The Republican Party is going to have to get control of those two in 2012 in order to affect a full repeal and replace More than four months after their triumphant vote to scrap the Democrats’ […]

Union Contracts More Important Than Patients For Union Drivers

Posted on May 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Priorities. Union guys have priorities, you know? For instance, in New Jersey earlier this year a bunch of union drivers for the Communications Workers of America (CWA) decided that it was more important to have a “sick-out” and strand sick elderly people, preventing them getting to their life-saving medical treatment than do their jobs. State […]

Democrats Plan: Destroy U.S. Healthcare So They Can Re-Build it in Socialist Image

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his Democrat pals have been lying to you, America. They do not want to find a cure for America’s obviously ailing healthcare system. They want to erect its headstone. Democrats want to destroy every aspect of our healthcare system. They have to, you see, because if they don’t they cannot rebuild it to […]

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Here we have a whiner Democrat that can’t take the heat of a TV cable show… and hasn’t two neurons to rub together. You know… a typical Democrat.

Tenn. Voters To Get Chance to Say Abortion Not A ‘Protected Right’

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

This could shape up as a major battle between supporters of infanticide and pro-lifers in 2014. Pro-abortion forces will likely flood the Volunteer State with out-of-state money to defeat a referendum that may appear on the 2014 ballot allowing citizens to decide whether or not their state constitution really does have a special right protecting […]

Newt Gingrich Endorses Socialized Medicine

Posted on May 16, 2011 by Dave Blount

Anyone who would snuggle on a couch with Nancy Pelosi to promote the global warming hoax is either a moron or an authoritarian statist.

IPAB: The Acronym for Death Panels

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Dave Blount

The socialist remnants of Britain have the Orwellian NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to determine who gets medical care and who doesn’t.

Inbreeding and sadism — on a vast scale

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Bookworm

I have been reading and enjoying Leslie Carroll’s Royal Pains: A Rogues’ Gallery of Brats, Brutes, and Bad Seeds. Focusing on Eastern and Western Europe from the 12th century onwards, it’s a brisk walk through royal excesses. Having read about half the book now, I think that “bad seeds” is the operative phrase in the […]

429 Pages of New Regulations Wrought from 6 Pages of Obamacare

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Obamacare will destroy our healthcare system and our economy both while giving unprecedented and unconstitutional powers to unelected, unaccountable federal regulators. It’s just that simple. Further proof of this was reported by US News and World Report on April 7 where we see that out of just six pages of the Obamacare law, federal regulators […]

Medicare Is Mandatory

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Dave Blount

How nice of the government to thoughtfully confiscate our hard-earned money and use it to buy us subpar healthcare under Medicare. But what if some people would prefer to write off the loot expropriated, and pay again for superior private care? Under rule by liberals, they are out of luck: [T]he idea of patient choice […]

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Celebrations that the oil was quickly “dispersed” and “gone” after the capping of the British Petroleum spill may have been premature. It may take decades to assess the damages and to recover.

Posted on February 22, 2011February 22, 2011 by Dave Blount

MSNBC crows with joy that politically correct corporations have been forcing their employees to finance bizarre sexual mutilation procedures by covering them under insurance policies as if they were medically necessary.

Canadian Death Panel Decides Baby Should Die, Canadian Court Agrees

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Duane Lester

How many liberals have clamored for the humanity of the Canadian Health Care system? I think it’s safe to say that at one time, a majority of the have advocated for a single payer system. One of the problems with single payer is the government can decide to stop paying because some “death panel” declared […]

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of Obama’s biggest donors.

Newly minted West Virginia Senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, ran for office denigrating Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system with his Obamacare law.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) announced on Tuesday that he intends to bring to the floor a vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday.

Remember: Obamacare is Great… Well Unless You Are a Union, Then You Don’t Have to Suffer Under it

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

If you’ll recall, Big Labor was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare.
