JOIN THE FLAGITATORS

Please join yours truly, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and lots of other groovy people in flagging yourself:

All kidding aside, this is actually quite important. The Obots want to silence you.

YOU BETCHA: END-OF-LIFE PROVISION DIES

The infamous end-of-life provision that the President and his congressional accomplices want included in their health care “reform” legislation appears to have (ahem) died in the Senate Finance Committee.
Interestingly,  much of the credit for its well-deserved demise can, as Hot Air points out, be attributed to that bête noire of cocktail-party progressives everywhere, Sarah Palin.
If it had not been for Palin […]

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME AT THE VA HOSPITAL

Not quite as creepy as their exploitation of children for political theater, but definitely weird, is the progressive habit of trolling for veterans willing to say something positive about VA hospitals.
The VA presents a serious PR problem for the advocates of government-run health care because virtually all veterans are dissatisfied with the care they receive in the VA hospital system. 
Thus, our progressive friends […]

PROTESTERS WINNING THE HEALTH REFORM DEBATE

The Obama administration, congressional Democrats and the “news” media have done their best to portray the townhall health care protesters as a mob of right-wing crazies. But the slander isn’t selling, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll:
The raucous protests at congressional town hall meetings have succeeded in fueling opposition to proposed health care bills.
And which […]

OBAMA’S TONE DEAF HEALTH CAMPAIGN

Dorothy Rabinowitz points out something that has become increasingly obvious during the past several weeks:
The campaign for a health-care bill is, to put it mildly, not going awfully well. It’s not hard now to envision the state of this crusade with just a month or two more of diligent management by the Obama team—think train […]

REMEMBER WHEN PROTEST WAS PATRIOTIC?

From January 2001 to January 2009, we were constantly told by our “progressive” friends that their relentless ad hominem attacks on the President and his family constituted true patriotism.
Well, that was then and this is now. It would appear that protesting the health policies of our current President is “un-American.” That’s what Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer […]

WOULD YOU BUY A USED CAR FROM THIS MAN?

As you watch the following video, remember that this character has unleashed union thugs on legitimate protesters and authorized the compilation of an enemies list containing data on American citizens who criticize his health care “reform” plan.

CBO DELIVERS ANOTHER BLOW TO OBAMACARE

One of the claims often made by the President and his congressional accomplices, despite longstanding evidence to the contrary, is that health “reform” will save money by encouraging preventive care.
Well, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Ofiice has done the math, and concludes that this claim is pure BS. In fact, the numbers suggest that the opposite […]

PALIN IS RIGHT ABOUT DEATH PANELS

You can always tell when a high-profile conservative has made a logically irrefutable statement about health care reform—-the nutroots go even crazier than usual (no mean feat).
That’s what happened when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin had the temerity to point out the blindingly obvious truth about what she accurately described as “death panels”:
The Democrats promise […]

AGAINST OBAMACARE? YOU’RE A RACIST!

In their desperation to discredit anyone objecting to Obamacare, the White House, congressional Democrats and the “news” media have called us “right-wing extremists,” “mobsters” and “insurance company shills.”
So, I suppose it was inevitable that we would also be accused of racism. This particular talking point apparently began hitting the bird cage liners, internet and air waves on Thursday.
Helping to spread […]
