Read the fine print

Five Endangered Freedoms

If you read the fine print in the Congressional plans, you'll find that a lot of cherished aspects of the current system would disappear

Protest is Patriotic, Right, Dear Leader?

I Am The Mob

My family members did not shed blood for this country so that their elected officials could silence them into shame if they dared to speak out and voice their concerns

If you really want to fix health care, here is how to do it.

This is just about the most elegant explanation of the only way to truly fix the health care cost curve:

How to fix the Health-Care "Wedge"

The patient is then separated from the transaction in the sense that costs are no longer his concern. And when the patient doesn’t care about costs, only those who want higher costs—like doctors and drug companies—care.

But, of course, the Obamabots won't have any of it -- it's not their idea of socialized medicine.

Can we have a Constitutional amendment to require politicians to take Econ 101 before they are sworn in?

And for a more lighthearted take on this solution, see Ann's piece. Gasp! Actual proposed solutions from a Republican. Bet the Obamabots didn't see that coming!

FreeRangeKids: Of Peanuts and Pedophiles

We are making them, essentially, allergic to life. The world should be their oyster. Instead, it’s their their peanut.

This quote from the man that The Messiah thought highly enough of to nominate to his cabinet:

All the presidents -- including George Bush -- since the beginning of our republic, will not have run up as much debt as this budget will run up in the first period of its term.

...

So, you essentially have set up a scenario here under this bdget, where we will pass on to our children in the very near future, at about the end of four years from now, a debt-to-GDP ratio which is unsustainable and a deficit ratio which is unsustainable. And that means our kids are going to have a hard time digging themselves out of this hole.

Think about that: a doubling of the national debt -- not the deficit, but the debt -- in five years. Remember the hue and cry over the need of an extra digit on the debt clock in Times Square? In five years, if this plan proceeds, we will need an entire additional clock.

Breathtaking.

This is America?

What happened to Land of Liberty, let freedom ring, and all that?

But these virtues are more than offset by the more radical features of Obama’s plan: spending at levels previously thought unimaginable, deficits as far ahead as the eye can see, a significant redistribution of the nation’s income from wealth creators to dependants on the state, government takeovers of significant sectors of the economy, more regulation of almost every business.

Welcome to the Facist States of Obamerica.

Oh, and someone remind me: wasn't Obama supposed to make the Europeans like us again? Take a look at where this article is from.

Big spender Obama sets the red ink flowing

Funny, I must have missed reading about this in 2000

Glad to see we're all on the same page here...

"On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."

Well, I guess some people missed the memo:

Others, however, cheered when they heard a television broadcaster announce, "George Bush is no longer president of the United States." Still others in the crowd, broke into chants of "Na-na-na-nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye."
