Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Bruce Kesler highlights the largest ever survey of doctors on the subject of Obamacare — and they don’t like it. I can already hear the pro-Obamacare people saying, “Well, they don’t like it because it’s going to be more efficient and therefore cuts into their profits.” Think about that for
Continue readingGeorge Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of the best and most important books ever written. This is not hyperbole. It’s as close as one can ever get to an objective statement about a novel. In addition to Orwell’s lean, elegant prose, it is impossible to imagine a more insightful or
Continue readingAs others have commented, the Catholic Church is making the loudest noises about the new Obama Care mandate regarding birth control, abortifacients, and sterilization, but the policy is really a strike against everyone who is pro-Life in America. If you’re a pro-Life employer, you have to pay for your employees’
Continue readingThe last two times I fisked, I was attacking solo acts. This time, I get a triumvirate, as the three most liberal women in the United States Senate, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, and Jeanne Shaheen, have joined together to write an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, justifying ObamaCare’s
Continue readingPathetic is a very strong derogatory word, but I think it’s apt when looking at Kathleen Sebelius’ defense for the Obama administration’s recent mandate that all employers must purchase insurance that provides their employees with birth control, sterilization and morning-after pills. A fisking is in order (all hyperlinks in original
Continue readingI hadn’t looked closely at what Sebelius said when promulgating the new ObamaCare rules that require religious organizations to fund birth control, sterilization, and morning-after pills. Hugh Hewitt, however, did look — and caught something interesting: The press release that accompanied the new rule didn’t mention “Catholics” or “Catholic institutions,”
Continue readingBarbara Boxer has taken to the pages of the Huffington Post to explain why the administration’s mandate that all insurers provide birth control, including drugs that induce abortion, advances rather than restricts, religious freedom. If you like Orwell’s Newspeak, Boxer’s writing is a thing of beauty and will certainly be
Continue readingIn no particular order: Listen to Richard Epstein and John Yoo explain why ObamaCare is a more heinous government policy than any ever before imposed on the American people. Pay special attention to Richard Epstein’s point about the dangers lurking in rule by waiver, which is antithetical to rule by
Continue readingFor reasons unclear to me, myriad conservative sites are hosting an advertisement for Alan Grayson, a Progressive’s Progressive. You might remember Grayson from his last go-round in Congress. This is not a guy who’s shy about sharing his convictions. During the health care debate, he gave a quick and easy
Continue readingBack in the 40s or 50s, Esquire Magazine, when it was still a magazine for gentleman, published some quite funny, if very risque cartoons.* One of them showed a gorgeous, voluptuous, obviously purely decorative woman talking on the phone in her apartment. Behind her is a kitchen piled to the
Continue readingReaders of my blog know that one of my personal bête noires is liberal indoctrination in public schools. I blog about it frequently. My last outing on that subject was here, and I’ll get back to that in a little bit. First, though, I’d like you to see how one
Continue readingI warned people close to me (mother, sister, etc.) that Obama was a socialist and they laughed at me and (quite lovingly, because they’re my mom and my sister) called me “extreme.” I wonder if they would have laughed at Al Sharpton too, now that he’s finally let the cat
Continue readingI indulged myself today by staying assiduously away from the computer. If there was going to be a train crash, I didn’t want to see it happen. What’s really irksome isn’t that Stupak is the usual Demo ho (pardon my language), but that he was willing to sell his soul
Continue readingVictor Davis Hanson sums everything up in one paragraph: The president is pushing legislation that a clear majority of the people dislike, and whose details neither he nor his supporters can explain in simple language. Its ends-justify-the-means passage will require legislative gymnastics that border on the unconstitutional, and in Orwellian
Continue readingPerhaps it really is true that Pelosi doesn’t have the votes for Obama Care. After all, if she did, why would the Democrats be considering the “Slaughter Option” something that involves bypassing votes altogether: The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the
