Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. This is what a real judicial ruling looks like, one based on the U.S. Constitution, compared to other “rulings” based on the talking points of the Democratic Party. Judge Henry Hudson of the Eastern District of Virginia, appointed by President George W. Bush, overturned the Obamacare mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. As was the case with Thomas More Law Center v. Obama (TMLC), a Clinton-appointed Democratic political official masquerading as a federal judge issued a political statement of Democratic talking points masquerading as a judicial ruling. I don’t want to delve too much into the weeds of this “ruling” since Liberty University, et al. | Read More »
The federal government plans on intruding more into the lives of all Americans. First, Congress is looking to pass an expansive food safety law. The FDA would be given the authority to impose additional standards, including new registration and documentation of safety plans by food producers to be given to the federal government, along with the authority to order recalls. The effect could very well | Read More »
Newsweek has a piece entitled “Can Laws Fix the Obesity Crisis?” It starts out by identifying a couple of places where government is imposing itself in order to force the people to eat healthy. The piece also points out that there haven’t been any good studies to determine if these laws are effective. But the key comes in near the end of the article when | Read More »
Our “moral superiors” in Congress, almost all Democrats and some Republicans, passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act last year; in the House, 70 Republicans joined all but 8 Democrats to vote for this drek (Senator-elect John Boozman, as the congressman of Arkansas’ 3rd district, voted against it, as did the soon-to-be Speaker John Boehner; good for them); in the Senate, the only | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. District Court Judge George Caram Steeh, a Clinton appointee, issued a ruling yesterday regarding Obamacare in Thomas More Law Center, et al. v. Obama, et al. (TMLC). Reading through his “judicial” opinion, I got the sense that the most pertinent parts were written by a Democratic political operative, not a judge; it’s the | Read More »
Gee, who would have thought Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) wasn’t going to do the big cave-in? Well, now he’s got the big “L” for loser stuck on his forehead. Here’s Stupak taking the word of the most pathological of liars, and the most pro-abortion and pro-infanticide politician, ever to sit in White House to get this done. So not only are Stupak and the other | Read More »
With phoenix-like resilience, Democratic attempts to resurrect Obamacare have begun again in earnest yesterday as Teh Won unveiled a hybrid of the House and Senate versions that passed last year. We know it has everything to do with control of the people as opposed to the Orwellian spin that Obamacare has to do with health care. Later on yesterday, I saw this on the ABC | Read More »
Well, here we are at the one year anniversary of Barack Obama, “The One We were Supposed To Be Waiting For” (The One), Mr. Hope N. Change (that’s mine), being sworn in as President of the United States. He had a huge majority of his fellow Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He had an agenda. Eventually, he got a super-majority | Read More »
Ever since The One and his micro-brained minion of an AG decided to prosecute the 9/11 terrorists in New York City, Chuckie Schumer (D-NY) has been doing everything he can to make sure the federal government pays for the security that will be needed, even as the cost of the security has grown from $75 million, to $200 million, to $400 million… That seems to | Read More »
MIT economist Jonathan Gruber has been at the forefront of trying to show how the Obamacare health “reform” measure will help individuals pursue health insurance purchases in the private market, even though anyone with a clue knows that is a crock. He’s cited repeatedly by the Democrat media and leftist blogs as an authority, as well as on blogs by some respected economics experts. Megan | Read More »
Gov. Dave Heineman (R-NE) issued a statement after the buying off of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE). As Heineman is a politician, I expected he would engage in some obfuscation in order to provide himself some cover. Reading Heineman, however, the Governor unequivocally says the “deal” was all Nelson: “Nebraskans did not ask for a special deal, only a fair deal. Under no circumstances did I | Read More »
So is every single solitary Democrat who claims they are either conservative or pro-life; they aren’t either of those things as far as I’m concerned. Call him a whore or call him Judas, he had a price, he was able to be bought in order to sell America out. If he thinks the language in Reid’s amendment regarding abortion is anything approaching to the amendment | Read More »
Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. Nelson is all set to vote for cloture on the Reid bill that nobody else in the Senate, nor in the rest of the country, has read yet (Morrissey has a copy of the Managers Amendment in the post). A couple of weeks I ago, I said the following in response to statists complaining of misogyny after many were | Read More »
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is up for re-election next year. She passes herself off as a moderate, someone who is on the fence about supporting the health “reform” fiasco that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), so he says, is trying to force through this Saturday with a procedural vote to start debate. Looking at her voting record for this session of Congress, Lincoln hasn’t shown herself | Read More »
One of the arguments that is made by those who support the statists’ version of health care “reform” is that the government needs to have more and more control of it as a benefit to the general welfare of the American people. Those like President Obama and those who worship him will say they have plans ready to go, plans that have been in development | Read More »
It seems Bill O’Reilly didn’t think the outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during President Obama’s “speech” was warranted. Apparently, the reason for Wilson’s outburst, Obama’s constant lying throughout the rant “speech” culminating in the mendacity that the health “reform” the President wants wouldn’t include illegal aliens, wasn’t good enough for O’Reilly. One of the people O’Reilly had on to discuss this was Ann Coulter. | Read More »
You can tell our President is a leftist because he is ready, willing, and able to cajole and berate his fellow residents with agitprop and dishonest propaganda, but refuses to treat America’s enemies with anything but outright deference. Did you hear the lies that were coming fast and furious? I could swear his nose grew out all the way to Pelosi’s San Francisco office. Here’s | Read More »
I sent the following confession of my sin to flag@whitehouse.gov. To whom it may concern: I am writing you to flag myself as one who has disagreed with President Obama’s outlines for health “reform” (I’m not sure if it’s considered health care reform or health insurance reform; of course, I didn’t go to Harvard and may not understand all the “nuance” from this administration) and | Read More »
The job of “community organizer” that Barack Obama says was a key stepping stone in his political life is a nebulous position that is hard to define, especially when the left is allowed to define it. They will pull stuff out of their collective tuchus to say that Jesus Christ was the ultimate “community organizer”. But if one looks at what a “community organizer” does, | Read More »
