This is just rich. Barack Obama won’t use the phrase “War on Terror.” He no longer wants to do an annual memorial for September 11th. He does not think we are, in any way, at “war.” But faced with a $9 trillion deficit of his creation, a stimulus that has not worked, the buyout of General Motors, a $2 billion over budget Cash for Clunkers | Read More »
Reading this post by Mickey Kaus made me realize something. The idea of postponing health care reform–until, say, the economy improves– doesn’t seem appealing to many Democrats now. But it might soon. The problem, as Michael Goodwin’s recent column points out, is that the issues waiting in the wings–should health care leave the stage–are even worse, from the Democrats’ political perspective. Cap and trade, immigration legalization, | Read More »
No kidding. The feds want “all baby boys born in the United States” circumcised. Experts are also considering whether the surgery should be offered to adult heterosexual men whose sexual practices put them at high risk of infection. But they acknowledge that a circumcision drive in the United States would be unlikely to have a drastic impact: the procedure does not seem to protect those | Read More »
One of the leading opponents on Congress of the Democrats’ healthcare plans is Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI). Over the next two weeks, he will have a series of townhalls in his district to talk about healthcare. RedState has obtained an email showing the Democrats and Barack Obama’s own Organizing for America are working to actively disrupt Paul Ryan’s townhalls. In the email, Democrat activists Kelly | Read More »
For 42 years, the God and Country Rally in Idaho has started its rally with a military fly over. The God and Country Rally is a non-denominational rally that supports American soldiers. For 42 years the Pentagon has carried out the military fly over. Not any more. In Barack Obama’s America, the military is no longer allowed to do such things if the group requesting | Read More »
My newspaper column went up after midnight last night and already one lefty is frothing at the mouth. What did I do? Nothing more than quote Democrats’ own words. Oh, and I pointed out that Sarah Palin won the healthcare debate after using the phrase “death panels.” You can check out the column here. Here’s an excerpt: Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm Emanuel’s brother and one of | Read More »
Greg Sargent, doing his part as a mouthpiece for the online left, is trying his best to deflect concerns over flag@whitehouse.gov, but in the process reveals that Democrats are now admitting the White House collected data on individuals from flag@whitehouse.gov. Here’s the deal — and you’ll have to pardon wading through the stupid that is Greg Sargent regurgitating DNC talking points: John Cornyn has a | Read More »
Whodathunkit? People are fleeing Florida because of the recession. It used to be the sunshine state. Unfortunately, under Charlie Crist, the Sunshine State is now the Sunset State. Crist, who has pushed a host of liberal economic initiatives in Florida and then tax increases to pay for it all, is running for the United States Senate as a Republican. But Crist supported Barack Obama’s economic | Read More »
Interesting. I’m hearing from more and more doctors and from pharmaceutical sales representatives that the sales reps are rapidly becoming persona non grata in the doctors’ offices. Here’s the thing — PhrMA and the American Medical Association both have thrown doctors under the bus. Doctors are supposed to be represented by the AMA, a majority of doctors oppose Obamacare, but the AMA has decided to | Read More »
If you remember, Rahm Emanuel noted after the 2008 election that the Obama administration should not fail to seize crises as opportunities. The administration did it with the stimulus, they’ve tried with cap and trade, and now they are trying with healthcare. My friend Greg Mueller suggests the strategy is failing. Obama’s “opportunity in crisis” agenda initially lost him the Republican vote he won during | Read More »
Barack Obama’s brownshirts are after Glenn Beck. We can’t let them win. If they win with Beck, they’ll be emboldened to go after even more people. A while back, Glenn Beck called Barack Obama a “racist.” Given all the terrorists, thugs, and racists Barack Obama has chosen as close personal friends (see e.g. Rev. Wright), it’s not a stretch to say it. In fact, Obama’s | Read More »
This is must see video from New Hampshire worth sharing. Here’s the gist — in New Hampshire, where Barack Obama showed up, local residents stood in the rain to protest Obamacare. Barack Obama’s team bussed in the people to attend the rally and also bussed in the counter protestors. All on tape. Consider this an open thread.
Dear Erick: Here is the email the AARP is sending out: If your inbox is anything like mine, you’re getting a lot of emails about how SCARY health reform is. From allegations about rationing care to wild reports of government-sponsored euthanasia, the rumors just keep getting crazier. And I’ve had enough. Enough of the fear-mongering. Enough of the myths and unfounded rumors. Enough of the | Read More »
The AARP has finally come out and endorsed H.R. 3200, the Democrats’ healthcare overhaul, more commonly called “Obamacare.” Despite its non-partisan, non-profit status, AARP has decided to go all in championing Obamacare. It started a couple of weeks ago when the AARP held a townhall forum with Barack Obama to promote Obamacare. The carefully screened audience asked not very probing and probably pre-screened questions to | Read More »
As Jeff noted yesterday, the White House is asking individuals to report misinformation to the White House on healthcare. Specifically, the White House said There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t | Read More »
More and more videos are circulating each day of congressmen facing the wrath of the American people. Consequently, the Democrats have come up with an official talking point — the protests are bought and paid for by lobbyists and the insurance industry. Whether we want to or not, we have to pay attention to what Think Progress says when it starts saying the same thing over | Read More »
I have to add to what Caleb said below. This news story has such a terrific quote: Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous. . . . “Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery,” says Hutchinson, “it is mean-spirited and dangerous.” “Demonic and a socialist”. So would it be | Read More »
We will get a full transcript of Liz Cheney’s remarks from this past weekend as soon as possible. She spoke on Saturday at RedState’s first Gathering. The speech was well received with lots of applause. One of the best lines of the day came from Liz Cheney. She said we don’t need a “global community organizer” as President. Specifically, she said: Earlier on a trip | Read More »
Liz Cheney spoke at the RedState Gathering. Among her memorable points: “At his last press conference we learned the President does not care for either pediatricians or policemen.” Then there was this: “America needs a Commander in Chief, not a Global Community Organizer.” For the context on this line, see the video:
I’ve said for a long time now that the fixation on Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a distraction. I think Barack Obama is a natural born American citizen because his mother was indisputably an American citizen. I think he meets the residency requirements. And I think that Justice Scalia himself would not throw the President out of office now that he has been sworn in. | Read More »
