CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN RIGHT NOW. Democrats will meet in committee in one hour to begin marking up healthcare legislation. They’ve cut a deal with the Blue Dog Democrats. Go here and get the number for your Congressman. Call now. Tell him to oppose H.R. 3200.
The Republicans are engaging on this front. Good for them. Congressmen Boehner and McCotter released the following statement: Section 1233 of the House-drafted legislation encourages health care providers to provide their Medicare patients with counseling on ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration’ and other end of life treatments, and may place seniors in situations where they feel pressured to sign end of life | Read More »
We’ve noted remarks by a senior aide to Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY) that “probably the best part of the bill is the increase in Hospice care which will solve the prolonging of life issue.” That does not tend to make sense because hospice care is for people already at the end of life who need to be kept comfortable. How on earth does more hospice | Read More »
So I’m a conservative activist, not a journalist. The left would have you think otherwise after an enterprising journalist discovered I’d sent Mark Sanford’s communications director saying I was happy to help deal with the “missing governor” story — even suggesting Sanford post at RedState himself. This, of course, was before anyone knew “hiking the Appalachian Trail” was code for “hitting Argentine tail.” Nonetheless, the | Read More »
We have the power to stop Barack Obama on healthcare. We have the power to shut him down. Already, Democrats are recognizing the measure is coming apart at the seams. Nancy says she has the votes, but the markup of the bill in committee keeps getting cancelled. Tonight, Barack Obama goes on television to complain, beg, and cajole the American people to commit themselves to | Read More »
H.R. 3200 is the Democrat healthcare bill. Let’s back up for a minute. I noted some time ago Jay Rockefeller went on record to say that at some point the government has to decide whether or not you are allowed to receive any more medical benefits if the cost outweighs the potential benefits. As Mickey Kaus has noted, both Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias are | Read More »
Barack Obama really has no shame. His statements are coming with shorter and shorter expiration dates. Pretty soon his promises will have a shelf life less than milk. On July 4, 2009, writing in the Washington Post, Ceci Connolly wrote that Barack Obama wants advocacy groups to stop going after moderate Democrats. In a pre-holiday call with half a dozen top House and Senate Democrats, | Read More »
I’m on record that this story is a distraction designed to take the heat off Nancy Pelosi lying about and smearing the CIA. It is also a distraction for conservatives who tend to focus on national security issues instead of things like socialized healthcare. Nonetheless, while Democrats are screaming that evil Dick Cheney did not tell them about a CIA program, the former Director of | Read More »
There is a game of distractions being played in Washington, D.C. right now. It is both intentional and designed to minimize conservative strengths. We must not play the game as the left would have us play it. Here is how the game is played. The President pushes cap and trade to the Senate while also advancing socialized healthcare. As those balls advance, the Attorney General | Read More »
The Obama foreign policy is increasingly becoming a disaster. In today’s episode, Barack Obama admits that the ousted President of Honduras “has strongly opposed American policies,” but should be reinstalled as President despite the democratic institutions of Honduras ousting him pursuant to the terms of the Honduran constitution. Why? Because he was democratically elected. Nevermind that Zelaya wants to stay President via undemocratic means. Don’t | Read More »
Praise Mitt Romney. Three years ago, the former Massachusetts Governor had the inadvertent good sense to create the “universal” health-care program that the White House and Congress now want to inflict on the entire country. It is proving to be instructive, as Mr. Romney’s foresight previews what President Obama, Max Baucus, Ted Kennedy and Pete Stark are cooking up for everyone else. — Wall Street | Read More »
Tragic and serious news from TPM today, folks. Not that we couldn’t see this coming. According to eyewitness sources, under the apparently blind eye of the global media, the two leaders had lengthy conversations. The media covered the friendly photo of the initial handshake between the two leaders, then made much ado about an apparently-impertinent Chavez handing Obama a book in Spanish by Eduardo Galleano. | Read More »
If he gets his way on healthcare. A former soldier pulled his own teeth out with a pair of pliers because he could not find a dentist to take on NHS patients. Iraq War veteran Ian Boynton could not afford to go private for treatment so instead took the drastic action to remove 13 of his teeth that were giving him severe pain. The 42-year-old, | Read More »
Matthew Cunningham, over at Red County, has a post worth reading about Barack Obama’s disastrous foreign policy. We need to pay attention to Obama’s foreign policy. It is shaping up to be fatal to American interests. He has given only tepid support to democratic protestors in Iran — and only after much needling and pushing by Republicans. He has burned bridges with the French, something | Read More »
Oh to be fickle and used. The gay rights movement must really like to be that girl (or guy as you might have it) that gets picked up at the bar, slept with, then kicked out before sun up without so much as a kiss. Now, just like that girl who stands in the hallway of the apartment building knocking on the door demanding a | Read More »

After weeks of criticism from both Republicans and Democrats that Barack Obama had taken many varied positions on Iran, the White House sought to admit the criticism was true. From the actual White House website with no alterations whatsoever: (click the image for a larger view)
Remember how no White House Easter Roll had been streamed on the internet until Barack Obama got to the White House, even though George Bush had done the same thing? Remember all the other examples of Barack Obama declaring something a first, despite George Bush, Bill Clinton, or some other President having done it first? Well, news comes out today that the census will ask | Read More »
GET ON THE PHONE NOW According to the online left, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is whipping Republican votes for H.R. 2346, the 2009 Supplemental Appropriations Act. You need to get your members of Congress to toe the line on this. We need to defeat this bill. The GOP had been signaling it would vote en masse against the legislation. That Hoyer is getting Republican | Read More »
