The Democrats really are utterly shameless. If they can think of a way—any way—to exploit Saturday’s horror show, they will not hesitate to do so. Nothing is too atrocious or just plain dumb.
They are using this event as a pretext to restrict free expression and propose wacky bills banning images from maps. Now, they are arrogating the right to […]

AZ SHOOTING PROMPTS DEM TO DEMAND THAT GOP CHANGE NAME OF OCARE REPEAL BILL
WHAT DO HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION HAVE IN COMMON?
Quite a lot, Â as it happens. John Goodman provides a good summary at his health policy blog:Â
(1) We [i.e. state and federal governments] have systematically suppressed normal market forces.
(2) The entity that pays the bill is usually separate from the beneficiaries of the spending.
(3) Providers of the services see the payers, not the […]
LOUGHNER HAS STALKED GIFFORDS SINCE 2007
While the opportunists of the MSM and the Democrat Party have been politicizing Saturday’s shooting ramage, making absurd accusations about Sarah Palin and even linking it to the health care debate, some people have been searching for actual facts. They show that Loughner has been stalking Gabrielle Giffords since 2007:
Sources tell CBS News that Loughner had made threats in the […]
VIDEO: NEWSWEEK’S EVAN THOMAS CALLS OBAMACARE “A DISASTER”
Yep. This is the same Evan Thomas who was once so smitten with Barack Obama that he compared the man to a diety. Now, he calls Obama’s signature legislative “achievement” a disaster in the following video (via The Daily Caller):
Health care, though, I got to say, is one place where I think where Republicans are […]
THE USUAL SHAMELESS SUSPECTS BLAME PALIN FOR GABRIELLE GIFFORDS SHOOTING
I guess it was inevitable that our “progressive” friends would exploit the Arizona shooting to make political points, but this is pretty slimy even by their standards. Let’s start off with pathetic has-been Jane Fonda:
And Hanoi Jane is not, of course, alone in her attempt to politicize the tragedy. Michael Moore and all the usual suspects […]
VIDEO: REP. PAUL RYAN CALLS CBO ON PHONY OBAMACARE MATH
The CBO recently released a report stating that repealing ObamaCare would increase the deficit by $145 billion. This is pure BS, of course. In this video, Ryan explains that the CBO is using the old, discredited cost data provided by the Democrats before they got the bum’s rush by the voters:
Watch the latest video at […]
VIDEO: BOEHNER SAYS OBAMACARE WILL BANKRUPT THE COUNTRY
Thank goodness this guy has taken the Speaker’s gavel away from Nancy Pelosi. Boehner is by no means perfect, but he is a huge improvement over his corrupt and semi-coherent predecessor:
In my opinion, Obamacare is the biggest job killer we have in America today … I think it’ll bankrupt our country.
OBAMACARE IS TRANSFORMING U.S. HEALTH CARE INTO A POLITICAL SPOILS SYSTEM
Government health care is political health care. In other words, the more control Washington has over the medical delivery system the higher the probability that politicians will use it to buy votes and extract money from major unions, large companies and even whole industries. Paul Hsieh elaborates on this very point in the Washington Times:
[W]hile Obamacare is […]
END-OF-LIFE COUNSELING MEETS THE DEATH PANEL
Remember that nice Christmas gift we got from Obama’s Medicare czar? Well, the Obama administration evidently couldn’t handle the heat it generated and took it back to the Returns Desk yesterday:
Reversing a potentially controversial decision, the Obama administration will drop references to end-of-life counseling from the ground rules for Medicare’s new annual checkup, a White House official said Wednesday.
In […]
VIDEO: PELOSI SAYS SHE WOULD HAVE PASSED OBAMACARE EVEN IF WE HAD ALL BEEN HAPPY WITH OUR HEALTH CARE
This weird speech has to be seen to be believed. Pelosi is still claiming, in the face of a mountain of contrary evidence, that ObamaCare will control costs. Not a syllable she says is true:
If everyone in America were very pleased with his or her health insurance … and had access to quality affordable health care … […]
