Poll: 69% Say America is in Decline
You could say most Americans are hoping for change. And if the economy gets any worse they’ll be hoping for spare change. More than two-thirds of voters say the United States is declining, and a clear majority think the next generation will be worse off than this one, according to the results of a new [...]
Rationing: Medicaid Programs Now Limiting Hospital Stays
24. October 2011
This is why you don’t put government in control of your health care. And these are just state-level programs. Imagine what will need to be rationed when the federal government tries to control the health care of more than 300 million people. A growing number of states are sharply limiting hospital stays under Medicaid to [...]
Bobby Jindal Reelected Governor of Louisiana
22. October 2011
Louisiana has reelected Bobby Jindal (R) to serve another four years as the state’s governor, marking an end to a race that saw weak opposition and a relatively easy win for the popular governor. Left-wing opposition elements were so disheartened by Jindal’s popularity and positive job performance that they failed to mount any well-funded candidate. [...]
Prominent House Democrat: Let’s give Obama dictatorial powers
22. October 2011
Sure, why not. Oh, right, because we live in the United States and not the Soviet Union. That’s why. Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran told The Daily Caller on Thursday evening that President Obama should “refinance every home mortgage” without congressional approval in order to “reset the economy.” Even this White House would be unwilling [...]
House Democrat to Obama: How About Getting Libya to Reimburse Us?
22. October 2011
Congressman Peter Welch (D-VT) has written a letter to Barack Obama asking him to ensure that the oil-rich nation of Libya reimburses the United States for its significant role in the NATO operation to remove Gaddafi. I couldn’t agree more, and in fact myself and other conservatives have said the same thing. We’ll intervene with [...]
Unemployment Rate Rises Days After Obama’s Trip to North Carolina
22. October 2011
Let’s face it: The man is just bad luck. The Chicago Olympics. Countless sports predictions. Campaign events for failed office-seekers like Martha Coakley. The national credit rating. Whatever he touches turns to fail. His most recent victim? North Carolina’s unemployment rate. Days after Barack Obama visited the state to play up his jobs record their [...]

Reminder: Obama Wanted Troops to Stay in Iraq Longer But Bungled Negotiations
21. October 2011
The Obama Administration is busy doing a victory lap because all troops will be brought home from Iraq by the end of the year. But Foreign Policy reminds us that that wasn’t the plan — in fact, Obama had no intention of bringing them home by the year’s end. They’re only coming home when they [...]
AP Poll: Few Back Occupy Movement, Most Who Do Are Democrats
21. October 2011
Just 37% of Americans support the Marxist-inspired Occupy Movement currently creating sanitary problems in cities across America, a new poll conducted by the Associated Press finds. But most of those who do back the movement are registered Democrats. Most Americans are angry about the status quo, but most also believe the protesters are directing their [...]
WaPo Got Hit Piece Documents from Anti-Rubio, Birther Conspiracy Theorist
21. October 2011
Here’s a golden nugget in the Miami Herald‘s coverage of the Washington Post‘s false hit piece on Marco Rubio’s life story: The political ruckus also put the heat on The Washington Post because the story —inspired by documents from a birther activist who claims Rubio can’t be vice president — became the subject of criticism [...]
