Hat tip to Watts Up With That? for this one. It looks like the idea of “consensus” that has been touted by the global warming alarmists isn’t as solid as they thought. When Chemical and Engineering News editor-in-chief Rudy Baum wrote an editorial in which he claimed the “consensus views” were “increasingly difficult to challenge” [...]

Even the most dyed-in-wool Democrat has to admit that the major promise of Nancy Pelosi and company in 2006, that is the promise to rid D.C. of the “culture of corruption,” has been utterly and completely broken. And despite Barack Obama’s promise to bring change to D.C., he only brought with him the business as [...]

Now, you have got to ask the following question: Would Thomas J. Perrelli have done the same thing if, all other things being equal, the three men intimidating voters were white instead of black? From the Washington Times: Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, the No. 3 official in the Obama Justice Department, was consulted [...]

Well, what did you expect? As a general rule, people do not like promises being made and then broken. People do not like being lied to. People do not like being falsely accused of racism. Put all of that together, and you have the latest tracking poll from Scott Rasmussen: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential [...]

It amazes me how libs will put something out in the press or on the Internet and then expect everyone to be stupid enough to believe it without question. Take for example leftist blogger Mike Stark. He put together a video that seemed to show eleven Republican members of Congress as being Birthers, that is [...]

The Founders were very wise to include the Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights. Specifically, the Tenth Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. This clearly says that the only powers [...]

One good thing about all those AIG bonuses that caused such a major stir earlier this year was that it highlighted the fact the most (if not all) members of Congress don’t even read the bills they are voting on. In the Stimulus package was an amendment (known as the Dodd Amendment) that allowed the [...]

I am actually going to write these into a letter and send them to my two Senators, Jim Webb and Mark Warner. From Dennis Prager at Town Hall: 1. President Barack Obama repeatedly tells us that one reason national health care is needed is that we can no longer afford to pay for Medicare and [...]

It’s not easy dealing with an infant suffering from Reactive Airway Disease. I’ve spent the last three days taking care of my seven-month-old son. But, I’m back to make a small contribution here. The arrest of professor Louis Henry Gates has been all over the news recently. Everyone knows the story and everyone knows how [...]

Again, here is something that you will not see on CNN, ABC, NBC or CBS. It is also highly unlikely that you will read anything like this in the Washington Post or the New York Times. According to the Associated Press: OBAMA: “We already have rough agreement” on some aspects of what a health care [...]

This is a major reason why we must oppose Obamacare. Nobody knows what’s in the plan! From CNN: As the prospects for passing health reform by the time Congress leaves for its August recess look bleaker, Democratic grumbling about President Obama is growing louder. One Democratic senator tells CNN congressional Democrats are “baffled,” and another [...]

Most of us have known that the voter-fraud organization known as ACORN is among the most corrupt entities being given access to Capitol Hill by the Democrats. Now, a new report coming out of Congress shows that the corruption runs deeper than we first thought. From Fox News: [T]he report offers the first detailed account [...]

Here is another example of how Barack Obama and the Democrats puts the needs of America secondary to their political ambitions with non-Americans. If the socialized health care package currently being created by the Senate Finance Committee goes through, millions of illegals will be given preference over legitimate American citizens when it comes to receiving [...]

This is how desperate Barack Obama is getting. From Sharon Theimer of the Associated Press via Town Hall: In cutting deals with hospitals and drugmakers, President Barack Obama is giving a private inside track to special interests that’s at odds with his promise to make policy in the open. Obama promised Americans he would hold [...]

It’s no secret that Barack Obama is getting desperate to pass a nationalized health care bill. With many Blue-Dog Democrats lining up against the measure, time is clearly running out for Obama, Pelosi and Reid. But what time-frame are we talking about? We are talking about the time-frame in which Congress and the President can [...]

I love reading Star Parker’s columns. She seems to have a way of looking at things, not necessarily from an opposite direction, but just enough of a different direction that things tend to become clearer. Her latest column concerning socialized medicine does just that. From Town Hall: Rather than moving dysfunctional America off the welfare [...]

I know. The actual headline of the referenced article reads “pitching U.S. debt” but we all know what this really amounts to. It is a vindication of Margaret Thatcher when she said: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” Unfortunately for Obama and his Democrat cronies, it happened [...]

So, the CBO has finally admitted what we Conservatives have known for many, many years. Nationalized health care will be more expensive, not less expensive as promised by the leftist Dems. From David Clarke and Edward Epstein of CQ Politics: The health care overhauls released to date would increase, not reduce, the burgeoning long-term health [...]
