Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
All of us have long known that poverty in America isn’t like poverty anywhere else in the world. There really isn’t anything here comparable to the poverty in Haiti, or Calcutta, or large swathes of Africa. Even poor people have televisions and phones. And it’s apparent that a surprising number
Continue readingIs Obama telling a true story or not? I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell. It doesn’t matter, though. What does matter is that, by relaying this anecdote, Obama is keeping alive the Obama/Hitler analogy: President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last
Continue readingHere’s a classic joke from the height of the Cold War: Man 1: Come the revolution, we’ll all be driving Rolls Royces. Man 2: But I don’t want to drive a Rolls Royce. Man 1: Come the revolution, you’ll have to. And here’s the bottom line on ObamaCare, which Ed
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 readingLest anyone, including Maine’s Olympia Snowe, get too excited about the newly proposed trigger option in the health care proposals: President Obama has decided that another oration will rejuvenate his health-care agenda—despite having given 27 speeches entirely on health care, and another 92 in which it figured prominently. We’ll see
Continue readingIt was only last week that I wrote about the fact that the AARP’s weird support for Obama Care, a plan that is likely to ration care its members, might be connected to the fact that at least one branch of its management, the magazine editorship, is to the left
Continue readingThe debate on Obama Care has tended to focus on money and on vague accusations of probable racism. Zane Pollard, an opthamologist, spells out precisely what that rationing will look like. And no matter how the Dems dress it up, for the vast majority of Americans, it will look much
Continue readingKarl Rove nicely articulates the bottom line facts driving Obama’s fear-mongering game to force through immediate and irrevocable changes to America’s health care system: Mr. Obama’s problem is that nine out of 10 Americans would likely get worse health care if ObamaCare goes through. Of those who do not have
Continue readingSome people destroy constitutions, some defend them. This young soldier knows exactly where he falls in that constitutional divide: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y98HxYbsdBM[/youtube] Hat tip: Hot Air
Continue readingA consensus seems to be growing that the ObamaCare bill does not bode well for seniors. Aside from the mandatory “counseling” for all seniors, counseling that’s only worth doing if it’s meant to steer seniors away from obtaining treatment, simple common sense dictates that the health care cannot work without
Continue readingFaced with an epidemic, England is already planning on rationing: Thousands of patients could be denied NHS treatment and left to die under ‘worst-case’ emergency plans for a swine-flu epidemic. The blueprint would force doctors to ‘play God’ and prioritise intensive-care treatment for those most likely to benefit – ruling
Continue readingIn just three paragraphs, Charles Krauthammar explains all of the problems with the health care reform the President so desperately wants passed by August: President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that
Continue readingOrwell understood the totalitarian mindset. That’s why he invented Newspeak, a language with the specific goal of making anti-governmental thought impossible. The Wikipedia article on the subject sums it up nicely: Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell‘s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, it is described as being
Continue readingMichelle Malkin puts it together: the administration’s insistence that blind-folded science (untouched by greed or human feeling) will ensure the proper treatments in all situations plus the person who is the President’s voice for those “scientific” treatments. If you recall Zombie’s expose about the new science czar, John Holdren, you’ll
Continue readingDo you remember the words in my post title? I sure do, and I wasn’t even very politically aware then. That was George Bush, Sr., making a promise to the American people: “Read my lips: No new taxes.” He broke that promise. It looks as if Barack Obama is readying
