Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s the AP, an unofficial arm of the Democrat party, telling us that Obama had to simplify his Obamacare promises to the point of fraud because the American people are too unintelligent and uninformed to deal with the Act’s complexities: President Barack Obama’s early efforts to boil down an intricate

Continue reading“Monday morning mish mash” would have been more alliterative, but we do what we can. How corrupt is Lois Lerner and the swamp-like federal system from which she emerged? This corrupt. How crazy has the gender obsession at America’s institutions of higher education gotten? This crazy. How horrible was the
Continue readingAt PowerLine, Paul Mirengoff analyzes a Politico article that attempts to assess the political fallout from Obamacare. The Politico writers, says Mirengoff, acknowledge that those in the individual insurance market aren’t feeling the love for the Democrats now, but imply that the majority of these people would have voted Republican
Continue readingObamacare fails at so many levels it’s hard to count them. It fails because it’s the only piece of significant legislation in American history to be passed on strict partisan lines, using procedural tricks and bribes, and with a majority of American people disapproving of it. It fails because its
Continue readingCharlie Martin, who has a real knack for simplifying fairly complex mathematical concepts, has a post today about the fact that, when it comes to Obamacare versus math, math wins every time. I’d like to add my mite to that, which is that, when you have no dog in the
Continue readingWe don’t know who HuffPo contributor and Obama apologist Jason Linkins is, but HuffPo had better get rid of him pretty quickly. An online publication with HuffPo’s impressive Progressive credentials can’t afford to have racists on its writing staff, and Linkins’ sin was pretty egregious. Linkins’ racist attack on Asians
Continue readingMy liberal friends have been absolutely silent about Obamacare. Not a whisper . . . until today: I know Obamacare has been totally fucked up. I still feel like i’m gonna puke, though, when i hear republicans blaming democrats and yelling for Sibelius to resign. Where were they when Bush

Continue readingWhen I think of elderly people, including the ones naive enough to have believed Obama’s lies (at their age, they should have known better), my heart bleeds as I try to imagine them navigating Obamacare, and that’s true whether the system works or is broken. No matter what, a generation
Continue readingAs is too often the case, Republicans are busy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Despite the fact that the Obamacare debacle has been playing out before Americans’ eyes for more than three weeks, the RNC has done absolutely nothing to capitalize on the fact. Jonah Goldberg suggests at
Continue readingAs I read the headlines lately, I have this peculiar sense of deja vu. I already pointed out that, back in 2009, a conversation I had with a liberal doctor fairly accurately predicted how Obamacare would play out (although even I didn’t foresee the exchange collapse, perhaps because no one
Continue readingI know I’ve mentioned before that Charles C.W. Cooke is rapidly moving up my list of favorite conservative analysts. I like the way he thinks, and I like the way he writes about his thoughts. His latest outing is a firm rebuke to those Democrats who are desperately trying to
