Let’s Play “Name That Party”!
Surely we were all happy to learn that David Goldman and his 9-year-old son, Sean, were reunited after a five-year international custody battle today. Following a ruling by the Brazilian Supreme Court, the two flew back to the United States and will spend the holidays at Disney World in Orlando. CNN reports on the ending [...]
Reminder: Senate Healthcare Legislation Violates Obama Tax Pledge
24. December 2009
Deroy Murdock reminds us in his National Review column today that the Senate healthcare legislation creates 12 new taxes and hikes six existing taxes. Worse yet, seven of the Senate’s tax proposals directly violate Barack Obama’s pledge on taxes. Remember the one? “If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see [...]
Strategy: Gitmo Won’t Close Until 2011
23. December 2009
But of course. Obama won’t close it within the year as he promised the left, so he’s already breaking their little moonbat hearts. Why give the Republicans a mid-term election issue? Sure, it’s still on track for closure. But there’s a big difference in a political campaign between pointing out your opponent has done something and [...]
Wow: Chris Matthews Ratings Continue Collapsing
23. December 2009
Oddly enough, people aren’t excited about watching Chris Matthews perform fellatio on the Obama Administration every night. How bad are Leg Tingles’ ratings? As Ace says, large bloggers are pulling in higher traffic levels. Bloggers. Chris Matthews has been a mainstay of the MSNBC line-up for years, but December is shaping up to be one [...]
Top House Democrat: Kill the Bill
23. December 2009
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), chair of the powerful House Rules Committee, said today that the Senate’s healthcare reform legislation is so flawed that it should be killed. “The Senate health care bill is not worthy of the historic vote that the House took a month ago,” Slaughter wrote in an opinion piece for CNN’s website. [...]
Amendment to Ban Vote-Buying Fails in the Senate
23. December 2009
Democrats in the United States Senate revealed their true corrupt colors today, defeating an amendment that would ban the practice of using tax dollars to purchase votes on legislation. Just to repeat that, Senate Democrats voted to continue using your tax dollars to buy votes. Incidentally, one of the Democrats who actually crossed over to [...]
CBO: Er, Senate Healthcare Bill Will Actually Spike the Deficit
23. December 2009
Wait a minute. You’re telling me a plan to insure an additional thirty million people won’t actually cut the deficit as promised? I’m shocked. For sure I thought common sense and basic financial principles would be defied by this miraculous piece of legislation. You see, Democrats have appropriated the same $500 billion twice: The first [...]
ObamaCare Establishes Single, Nation-wide Insurance Policy
23. December 2009
Here’s what you may not know: After the Senate version of healthcare reform goes into effect, you’ll no longer be able to go directly to an insurance company and purchase a policy. You’ll lose that freedom entirely. Gone. Instead, you’ll be forced to get your insurance through work or through the established exchange. Oh, and [...]
Hey, Who’s Up for a Mao Ornament in the White House?
22. December 2009
Why not? We’re about to pass socialized healthcare; the left is now openly talking about how democracy is getting in the way of its political ambitions; and lefty NYT columnist Thomas Friedman has written about his admiration for Chinese thugocracy in getting things done in opposition to the wishes of the people. Oh, and former [...]
Stupak: WH Pressuring Me To Shut Up on Abortion Funding
22. December 2009
To think the administration of an infanticide-supporting president might not want a conservative Democrat talking about taxpayer funds going to pay for abortions. It’s almost like the Obama Administration is attempting to utilize Chicago thug tactics to ram its socialized healthcare through with minimal dissent. “They think I shouldn’t be expressing my views on this [...]
