Assault Continues: National Day of Prayer Ended by Judge
The judicial assault on American values continues this morning, with a Jimmy Carter-appointed federal judge deciding that the National Day of Prayer — originally declared by President Harry Truman (D) — is unconstitutional. Judge Crabb, an appointee of former President Jimmy Carter, wrote in her decision that ‘”some forms of ‘ceremonial deism,’ such as legislative [...]

AP: Obama Approval Hits New Low, ObamaCare Opposition New High
14. April 2010
More bad news for Democrats today, as the latest Associated Press poll finds opposition to ObamaCare at a new high and approval of Barack Obama at a new low. It’s the latest blow to the left heading into the November midterms, and it gives Republicans even more hope of reclaiming wide swaths of Congress. Just [...]
McCaskill: No Card-Check Legislation This Year
14. April 2010
Somehow I doubt it. There won’t be card-check provisions in the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) like there weren’t cuts to Medicare funding in ObamaCare. It’ll actually be there, you’ll see it and read it, but Democrats will insist your eyes are lying. McCaskill said that while senators were still negotiating the Employee Free Choice [...]

Rather than express outright support for Georgia as John McCain did, Obama called for both sides to exercise restraint. That despite the fact Russia’s superior military was pounding the ever-loving hell out of Georgian assets. As [...]

Hmm: Chief Union Thug To Resign
13. April 2010
He’s at the height of his political power in Washington, having visited the White House last year more times than any other single individual.
