Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.

Continue readingI like how clearly Karl Rove sums up the economic pain the Democrats’ proposed health care plan will impose on the economy as a whole and on individual Americans: For starters, the bill is a lot more expensive than advertised. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) pegs its cost at $1.055

Rogers tears about the health care plan, and talks about American freedom and initiative: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G44NCvNDLfc[/youtube] Although the camera didn’t show it, I’m pretty sure many of the Democrats were sitting there with their fingers in their ears, singing “la, la, la” in an

Because the first important Senate vote is

On Obama’s governing style: James Capretta notices two developments in the health-care debate. First, the president is telling us to shut up again. (”President Obama said today that the debate on health
Continue readingObama lies. He does not merely prevaricate, waffle, beg the question, evade, mince words or engage in any other delicate dodge around the truth. When it comes to the health care bill he is trying to sell American, he and out and lies. He tries to sell us big, fat,
Continue readingThe Wall Street Journal unsheathed its editorial knives in a slashing attack against the President’s health care speech. Some examples, although I really recommend that you read the whole thing: The thing about the bully pulpit is that Presidents can make the most fantastic claims and it takes days to
Continue readingI enjoyed the way in which James Taranto summed up — and eviscerated — Obama’s innocuous suggestion that mandatory insurance is entirely akin to uninsured motorist insurance: In his speech to a joint session of Congress last night, the president offered what presumably was meant to sound like an innocuous,
