Obamacare: Eliminating the Poor and Elderly’s Last Resort to Life and Health

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many left-wingers complain that our healthcare system as it stands leaves out the poor, elderly, and those least able to care for themselves. They say that because of this inequity private medical care should be eliminated and government should take over that role in society. That way, they claim, all will be treated equally and […]

 

National Healthcare Saves $$ By Letting Some Patients Suffer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Governor Sarah Palin once complained of those “death panels” in the President’s healthcare policy, a scoff that infuriated Obamacare’s supporters. But the fact is, by its very nature a nationalized healthcare system like the one that Obama wants acts as a “death panel” by denying care to save money. We don’t have to guess at […]

 

New NC Union-Based Political Party Fails to Get Enough Petition Signatures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Back in April we reported that unions in North Carolina banded together to try and start their own political party (as if the Democrats weren’t in thrall to them anyway). Well we are happy to report that the new North Carolina Families First Party failed to get the required number of petition signatures to authorize […]

 

Our Current Government: A Bunch of Radicalized Slackers

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

The only thing worse than a hipster slacker, is a radicalized hipster slacker. That, however, is exactly what the Obama administration and the current Democrats in Congress are. Witness the slacker promotion of Nancy Pelosi at work: “We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want […]

 

Report: May 12, 2010 Sarah Palin In Chicago

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the deep blue sea of the People’s Republic of Chicagoland, Sarah Palin shined like a light of liberty among the darkness of Mayor Richard “King” Daley’s perverse domain. Palin brought hope into the home of President Obama’s cynical “Chicago Way” style of politics, and I was there to witness the May 12 show. Sarah […]

 

More Consequences of Health Care Bill Revealed: No More Employer Provided Health Care?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Henry Waxman’s unintended consequences reveal intended consequences of the health care bill. Shortly after the boondoggle known as the health care bill was passed, corporations discovered that the bill had a lot of detrimental factors to it, which, as Nancy Pelosi infamously said, we couldn’t find out until the bill was passed. As such, upon […]

 

Obamacare: Gaming The Stupid System

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Ben Domenech writes a good post over at the New Ledger about how the Massachusetts health care system got gamed and Obamacare will too: A new report from the Congressional Research Service, released to Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, details the near certainty that this situation will be gamed by the American people to an unprecedented […]

 

David Obey Drops Out of Re-Election Race; Hoping for His 72 Virgins?

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

And yet another Democrat, who threw himself on the proverbial grenade by voting for the health care bill, drops out. David Obey (D-WI) is the latest health care suicide bomber to call it quits. I just hope he’s not expecting 72 virgins. This is particularly painful for the Democrats, since Obey’s name lent itself so […]

 

Obamacare Will Kill Medical Technology

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In 2008 Patrick Swayze was treated with an advanced medical tool called a “CyberKnife.” It helped add months to his life as he tried to beat the cancer that was consuming him. But, Swayze wasn’t the only American with the good fortune to have this highly advanced medical technology available to him. In fact, there […]

 

Rep. Waxman Slips in ‘Bad Vitamin’ clause into Wall Street Reform Bill

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Nothing says Washington crookedness like a congressman slipping a clause into a bill that has absolutely nothing whatever to do with the main purpose of the legislation. Here we have just another cynical, corrupt bargain made in Washington D.C. with the effort of Henry Waxman (D, Ca) who slipped a little clause into the Wall […]

 

Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in:  publication, too) is already frothing at the mouth […]

 

Unsafe Sharia Healthcare Coming Your Way, America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the British health services ruled that Muslim nurses and doctors didn’t have to wash their hands before handling patients. Why did they reverse a hundred years of sanitary medical practices? Why, because the Brits didn’t want to upset their Muslim citizens who think that washing themselves is some sort of crime against their religion. […]

 

Mitt Romney Wrote the Obamacare Book

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It looks like Mitt Romney is trying to be the GOP front runner for 2012. But he is one of the main influences for Obama’s socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system. Watch this video and remind yourself why we need to eliminate Mitt Romney from any possibility for being the GOP nominee for President in […]

 

Unions Killing U.S. Post Office

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Union contracts are killing the U.S. Post Office, making it uncompetitive and driving costs through the roof according to the Government Accountability Office. The U.S. Post Office lost $12 billion between 2007 and 2009 and has reached its borrowing limit of $15 billion already. On top of that the union pension fund is underfunded. Even […]

 

Race Baiting at Philly Tea-Party: Anti-Tea Party Democrats No Better than Fred Phelps?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On March 6, former George H. W. Bush speechwriter Michael Johns was speaking before a tea party gathering in Philadelphia when someone from the audience took exception to the fact that during his address he did not say “President Obama” but merely called him Mr. Obama. The heckler screamed a racial slur at Mr. Johns […]

 

Obama’s Back Alley Healthcare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For decades abortion supporters argued that restrictions on abortion would cause women to die in unsafe “back alley abortions” all across the land. This scare tactic was a mantra that seemed to work quite well to spread abortions throughout the states and helped spur the Supreme Court to penumbra its way to a pseudo Constitutional […]

 

Here’s a Leftist Spin on Healthcare For You

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said that Obamacare is a ”momentous step toward comprehensive health care.” Implicit in that statement is that Obamacare isn’t finished and the left fully intends to up the ante even more as time goes on. But that isn’t the spin I announced in my headline. Here is something from the AFL-CIONowBlog […]

 

Nanny State Becomes Wet Nurse State

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Democrats have long been creepily obsessed with my fancy womb and it’s “reproductive rights”, all as just a way to mask the furthering of their own agendas. They have now moved on to being obsessed with my boobies as well. More goodies hidden in the health care bill have been exposed, literally: Nursing mothers will […]

 

A Shortage Of Doctors: Ya Don’t Say… And The Other Unintended Consequences Of Obamacare

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The Wall Street Journal shares this inevitable news: The new federal health-care law has raised the stakes for hospitals and schools already scrambling to train more doctors. Experts warn there won’t be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face […]

 

Congress’ Health Care Oversight May Hurt Their Own Coverage?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Has a group ever more richly deserved this irony? From NRO: In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant unintended consequences for the “personal health insurance coverage” of senators, representatives and their staff members. For example, it says, the law may “remove members of Congress and Congressional staff” from […]

 

Indiana Right to Life Realizes No Such Thing As a Pro-Life Democrat

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Indiana Right to Life PAC just announced that they are now barring the endorsement of Democratic candidates. “Our leadership anguished over this decision,” notes IRTL-PAC chairman Mike Fichter. “Had Democrats like Brad Ellsworth held firm in opposing federal funding for abortion in the health care bill, we likely would have rewarded such action with a […]

 

Union Chief Claims He Witnessed ‘Racism’ At Tea Party…Yeah, Riiiiight

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago Andrew Breitbart issued a challenge to the anti-tea party left to show proof that the “N” word was thrown at black members of Congress by Tea Party protesters in their walk to Congress just prior to their passage on Obamacare. In fact, Breitbart has offered $100,000 for video or audio proof of […]

 

Rep. Wasserman Schultz; Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Actually, I think I’ll say “Liar, Liar, Skirt on fire” just to tick off her feminist sensibilities.:  Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a huge liar. Yes, a liar. In the video clip below, she blatantly lies and says that the health care bill, which she voted for, does not require mandatory insurance. This is an outright […]

 

Obamacare Bullies and Punishes The Children

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Well, the young adults. However, since 26 year olds are now still considered children under Obamacare, encouraged to mooch of their parents and their insurance policies like new millennium slackers, I feel safe in calling them children. The Democrats, with this bill, are, thus, harming The Children ™ and the newly minted as adults thirty-somethings. […]

 

‘New Hope’ For American Docs: Help Them Move Overseas, Won’t You?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The despair in the field of medicine over Obama’s government takeover of America’s once vibrant healthcare system can be overwhelming for America’s doctors. Many have said that if Obamacare is implemented, they’ll hang up their stethoscope and retire. The gloom is overpowering. But WAIT! Help is on the way. A new effort is underway to […]

 

Delusion Thy Name Is Democrat

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Wow: The coming two-week congressional break was long dreaded by Democratic leaders, who feared the political fallout of having members go back home without a health care law to tout. That’s not a worry any longer. Perceptions have turned so much that Democrats are now eager to head home and talk about the impact of […]

 

Democrat Health Care Bill is Sexist and Anti-Mom

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

When Nancy Pelosi uttered the ridiculous comment the other day that “being a woman will no longer be considered a pre-existing medical condition”, I chalked it up to simply being the further rantings of an out of touch Stepford Feminist, always walking in lockstep with some perceived victim mentality. I thought to myself “No, Speaker, […]
