At a time when our president and other politicians appear to want to apologize for everything about the United States, here’s a refresher course on how some have handled negative comments about the United States: JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when Charles De Gaulle decided to pull [...]
Mark Wattson of Swindon, England was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix in August. He thought the doctors must have made a mistake, since his appendix had been removed in July! Nevertheless, his appendix was removed in a second surgery. “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing,” Mr Wattson said. “I told these people I had [...]

Why Are We Moving Toward Socialized Medicine? By Dr. Yaron Brook,Executive Director, The Ayn Rand Institute Government intervention in medicine is wrecking American health care. Nearly half of all spending on health care in America is already government spending. Yet President Obama’s “reforms” will only expand that intervention. Prior to the government’s entrance into medicine, [...]

LETTER FROM THE BOSS: As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. Since we cannot increase our [...]
After spending weeks dogging George W. Bush’s presidential vacations, anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan is now trying to make life uncomfortable for President Barack Obama. Sheehan used to pitch a peace camp near Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, becoming a symbol of the anti-war movement after her son Casey died in action in Iraq. On Thursday, [...]

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and [...]

They say they are not “endorsing” it, but they sure as heck are supporting it aggressively. You and I know they are endorsing H.R. 3200, the Democrats’ healthcare plan, but are just too chicken to come out and say it. Nonetheless, their actions speak volumes. The AARP Georgia, already catching flak from some members for [...]

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) held a townhall meeting in what should be the friendly locale of blue-collar Reserve, LA on Thursday afternoon. She was non-committal on HR 3200, expressing her preference for the Wyden-Bennett bill that has been introduced but will go nowhere under the current leadership. Based on the following quote, it seems that [...]

Being exhausted on Kennedy coverage, I recommend to you two final pieces on Kennedy. The first is from Orrin Judd. Let me begin by offering a personal story about Ted Kennedy that is illustrative, but quite possibly apocryphal. At the time of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, he was a Senator from New York. The other [...]
On Wednesday Glenn Beck had his best day ever. And it wasn’t just Glenn Beck’s best day, he crushed everyone else on cable. The kicker? Rush Limbaugh was his guest. Solidarity baby! We’ll crush the left even as they cry boycott. By the way, did you know that a number of the advertisers they claim [...]

It is a moral imperative that I promote and bump this diary. Also: Keith? Moo. – Moe Lane The Los Angeles Times goofed on Keith Olbermann. They “accidently” listed the television show ‘Jackass’ in Keith Olbermann’s ‘Countdown’ time slot. In a correction piece, the Los Angeles Times ribbed: “A few thousand people might have tuned [...]

And he wants to make sure that the pharmaceutical companies understand that, too. The House Energy Chair intends to retroactively remove what Waxman calls a ‘windfall’ involving Medicare D drug charges, and never mind what either the President or PhRMA thinks: Drug makers contend they have already worked out a 10-year, $80 billion cost-savings deal [...]

You know, this admission may have justified the entire town hall thing, right there: Here’s the quote: “This is the answer from a doctor and a politician. Here’s why tort reform is not in the bill. When you go to pass a really enormous bill like that, the more stuff you put in it, the [...]

It apparently doesn’t excite his interest either way: U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said that a so-called “public option” in the health care bill is optional for him – and said he is not yet committed to backing the plan being put together by U.S. Sen. Max Baucus. Tester said Wednesday he could envision voting for [...]

[UPDATE] Mike’s campaign site is now up; contribute here. CA-18 is a D+4 district that voted for Bush in 2004; incumbent Cardoza ran unopposed in 2008. Of course, that was before unemployment in Cardoza’s district hit double digits*, and why Cardoza’s yelling for help from the federal government, while treating Speaker Pelosi like the radioactive [...]

Yesterday I told you guys I had a credible though unconfirmed rumor that Leon Panetta had sent his resignation letter up the Barack Obama’s vacation retreat. Spencer Ackerman, not known to believe the government when ChimpyMcBushitlerHalliburton ran it, took the CIA’s denial at face value. Likewise, George Little from the CIA emailed me this: I [...]
Robert Spencer has the top story at Human Events today. Britain is sinking fast, and in too many ways its government is its people’s worst enemy. Jihadists struck London on July 7, 2005 and Glasgow on June 29, 2007, and many still operate in Britain — but how bad is it now? To begin finding [...]

See, conservatives are in the habit of pointing out that when you start handing out money, you start losing track of where it goes (or at least, losing the ability to defend where it goes with a straight face). Whereas the worst thing that can happen when you let people keep their own money is, [...]
With everyone focused on the health care debate, Democrats are hoping we’ll all forget about another of their many boondoggles thus far in the Obama Presidency; Cap and Trade (lovingly known as H.R. 2454 – “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009″). This bill, like the Health Care bill(s) being bandied about just now [...]

Given the almost unprecedented political thrashing the Democratic Party, President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Congress is receiving because of the Democratic Party’s proposed government take-over-of-American-healthcare — can the highest ranking Democratic Senator, the U.S. Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid really be serious when he says that he is going to re-double his efforts to [...]
The Washington Post, alas, gets this editorial wrong in the very first sentence: NO ONE LIKES to be the bearer of bad news — especially when it could threaten your multibillion-dollar health-care reform bill. Come, I will conceal nothing from you: considering the amount of time that the Right’s bloggers, pundits, and legislators have spent [...]
