Plunging Towards Gomorrah
RE: Reconciliation or Suicide?
It appears that the White House is ready to double down on dumb. While President Obama wants any kind of health care bill to sign I’m not sure he has the votes. 18 Democrats in the Senate are on the record saying they’re opposed to reconciliation, but politicians hardly ever keep their word. The big question is will the House pass the Senate version of the bill? I’m just not sure.
Meanwhile, the President’s approval ratings are continuing to sink. Now that he wants to ram through a very unpopular bill using a rarely used parliamentary tactic I expect his ratings to plummet even more. It appears Barack Obama has his earmuffs on and he doesn’t care what the American people think.

Weekend Flush: ObamaCare, Liars, Inception, and John Edwards
about 1 week ago - No comments
ObamaCare: It seems like years ago when the Democrats passed one of the worst pieces of legislation in American history. Thanks to the evil Democrats the American taxpayer will be funding abortions. Remember when Stupak famously caved thanks to an Obama executive order? The pro-death left dismissed pro-life fears as paranoia. However, we should know

The big news today is the Rolling Stone article about General McChrystal. I don’t really have much to add about that situation. I think Jonah Goldberg’s take on the whole thing seems the most reasonable. Anyway, I’m not writing about that story. The real story for me today is that fact that the Democrat-led Congress

Florida billionaire Jeff Greene is running for Senate. The Harvard graduate wants to run as an average man. He claims to be an independent thinker. The only thing he’s accomplished so far is a drinking game. Drink every time Green says “career politician” or “outsider” in the video below: In order to learn more about
Do Progressives Really Care About the Economy?

I have to admit I’m growing a little weary of politics. Perhaps it’s the Arizona controversy and the left’s ability to ignore logic and its apparent inability to read. It seems our population is fine with being ignorant. It’s easier to be angry and upset with Arizona than to actually realize that its law not only mirrors
November Elections Loom Large

It’s only a few months until November and it’s not likely that any kind of economic rebound is going to save the Democrats in the Fall. The American public’s view of ObamaCare hasn’t gotten better (worse, if anything) and the Democrats do not have anything popular to offer. In fact, the two major pieces of
Left Logic: Law Enforcement = Fascism

This week’s Saturday Night Live Weekend Update segment briefly discussed Arizona’s new immigration law. The law has been declared “divisive” by the left because it actually enforces the law. Here is Seth Myers take on the law: Seth Meyers: This week, Arizona signed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country which will allow police
Harry Ried: All Talk on Immigration

There isn’t a lot of common sense when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration. The two major camps on the issue fall into an isolationist policy vs. an amnesty policy. Neither one of those choices is intelligent. The Democratic party views illegal immigrants as a potential new voting bloc, though I’m not so
The Problem with Direct Democracies

Doctor Zero over at Hot Air has written a post entitled “Representation Without Taxation.” He discusses the problems of having an electorate where half the people don’t pay income taxes. I look at this situation as a little less sinister. The reason people vote for the entitlement state isn’t because they’re voting in their best interest. I’m
“Where Do We Get the Free ObamaCare?”

What happens when you combine a new entitlement with an ignorant population desperate for handouts? Well, I think I have a pretty good idea after reading Margaret Talev’s article about the confusion surrounding ObamaCare. Hold onto your gag reflex it’s not pretty. Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors’ offices, human resources departments and
