Pass Health Care Reform so We Can See What’s In It?

Yes, you read that right. That is what Speakerette of the House Nancy Pelosi said in a speech before the 2010 Legislative Conference of the National Association of Counties: “You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you... Sign in to see full entry.

You Just Knew There Had to be a Catch . . .

President Obama’s teleprompter waxed eloquent last month about his proposal for high-speed rail service in America.

Losing an Election? Change the Rules!

Now that Republican Scott Brown has all but won the Senate seat formerly held by Splash Kennedy (and candidate Scott Brown was absolutely right in terming it the “people’s seat,” rather than Kennedy’s), the Democrat statists are behaving true to plan.

He said that he will from now on associate this time of the year with what Congress has done to his country. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Congress to Tax Your 401K and Stock Purchases

If you have a 401k, you’ll be pleased to know that House Speakerette Nancy Pelosi and her fellow statists want to tax the hell out of it. Spouting their typical soak-the-rich wealth redistribution blather, Pelosi is promoting a tax that would hit anyone who buys stock or securities anywhere. Not... Sign in to see full entry.

Are Democrats Being Promised Pay for Health Care, Crap and Tax Votes?

Here’s an uncharacteristically quick thought. Democrats are voting for legislation that clearly is not favored by, and will indeed cause harm to, their constituents. They do so at the peril of being thrown out of office should they choose to run for re-election. Given the pervasive corruption of... Sign in to see full entry.

All Hail Obama! He’s Close to a Decision About Troops in Afghanistan!

It was announced to today that, after months of evasion, delays, stalling and procrastination, President Obama is finally close to making a decision about the requested troop level increases in Afghanistan.

Whatever Happened to “What Did They Know, and When Did They Know It?”

It has become known that Fort Hood terrorist Malik Nidal Hassan had repeatedly attempted to contact al Qaeda and was notorious for anti-American rants. The question immediately is begged: Who knew about his misconduct, and why was nothing done to stop it? Was it mere incompetence, such as the Bush... Sign in to see full entry.
