JIMMY CARTER ATTACKS TED KENNEDY FOR BLOCKING HIS HEALTH REFORM PLAN

Yes, the most incompetent occupant of the White House prior to Obama our esteemed former President has attacked the late Senator in a “60 Minutes” interview. He claims that HE would have enacted comperhensive health care reform were it not for Kennedy’s obstructionism:
The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now, had it not been for […]

TIME TO RE-EDUCATE WASHINGTON

Paul Hsieh has a great op-ed over at Pajamas Media on the Orwellian PR campaign the Obama administration has begun on health care:
Rather than acknowledging that their health care plan is fundamentally flawed, the Obama administration is trying to pretend that the problem is merely one of bad public relations. Hence, Secretary of Health and […]

WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ RINOS

Well, the party line has already emerged on the Tea Party primary victories: the GOP “is committing suicide.” It’s all over the “news” media and the blogosphere. Don’t believe a word of it. It’s exactly the same meme they used at the beginning of the Reagan revolution.
The Dems, the MSM and some establishment Republicans tell us we must vote […]

VIDEO: O’DONNELL VICTORY SPEECH

I have to confess that I haven’t been following this race as closely as have many conservatives, so I don’t know much about O’Donnell’s specific positions. I do know, however, that she has been getting the “nuts and slutsâ€? treatment reserved by the MSM and the political establishment for all conservative females. This is usually […]

FLORIDA JUDGE WILL LET ANTI-OBAMACARE LAWSUIT GO FORWARD

This is the case, brought in Pensacola by twenty state Attorneys General, challenging the power of Congress to pass a law requiring everyone in the country to buy health insurance. Judge Vinson will apparently shoot down part of the lawsuit, but allow the rest to proceed:
A federal judge said Tuesday he will likely dismiss only parts of […]

EDUCATION SECRETARY PIMPS GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE

Anyone up for another example of mission creep? This time its the Department of Education using the school lunch program to funnel people into the SCHIP program. Here’s how the Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, describes his mission:
Our job is to make sure everyone knows how to enroll. There is a role for every member of […]

A BLUEPRINT FOR REPEALING OBAMACARE

Ever heard of Mike Stopa? No? Don’t feel bad. Few people have. He’s a Harvard physicist who is running for Congress, hoping to unseat entrenched Democrat Jim McGovern in the MA-03 district.
He has several competitors in the Republican primary (9-14), but he’s the only one with a serious, detailed plan for repealing Obamacare. He explains it […]

OBAMA ADMITS “WE KNEW� HEALTH COSTS WOULD CONTINUE TO GO UP

Well, a lot of people knew that, but Obama and his congressional accomplices denounced anyone who actually said it. As to the President himself, AP points out that he repeatedly claimed Obamacare would lower costs:
President Barack Obama told voters repeatedly during the health care debate that the overhaul legislation would bring down fast-rising health care […]

SEBELIUS CANCELS 1ST AMENDMENT

Scratch a progressive and you’ll find a fascist just beneath the surface. For anyone in doubt about that ominous reality, Obama’s esteemed Secretary of Health & Human Services just confirmed it:
President Barack Obama’s top health official on Thursday warned the insurance industry that the administration won’t tolerate blaming premium hikes on the new health overhaul […]

OBAMACARE CAUSES PREDICTED INCREASES IN HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS

A while back, I wrote a piece for the American Spectator in which I pointed out that health insurance premiums go up every time the government (state or federal) imposes benefit mandates. 
This is not news to economically literate observers—a government entity requires an insurance carrier to provide new benefits in all of its policies and the carrier must raise premiums to cover the […]
