Rants and Reflections on the Election(s) (Part 1 of 2)
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” — Abraham Lincoln “AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!” That was my response (posted on Facebook), give or take an “R” or two, to the 2012 Election results. Actually, that was my second FB post. My first was, [...]
Paul Ryan vs. Obamacare
“Ignoring these costs does not remove them from the backs of taxpayers. Hiding spending does not reduce spending….” — Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), tellin’ it like it is Like!0
Top 10 Things Liberals Have Taught Me about Myself (Part 2 of 4)
“It is just like Gaddaffi killing his citizens, only the Republicans do it with legislation rather than bombs and bullets.” — commenter at Huffington Post Continuing, now, with the lessons I’ve been learning about myself from the learned liberals: 4) I hate ‘working people’.

Brits Learn that Hospital Competition is Good for Patients
Normally, when a conservative such as I mentions healthcare in the UK, it is to decry the largely socialist nature of their system — complete with reports of people waiting for years to get treatment or surgery, plus the occasional horror story from the news of people literally dying of neglect in their hospital beds [...]
Just Two Questions about Federal Takeover of Student Loans
Those sneaky Dems and their “stealth accomplishments”. Last Tuesday, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) — aka “Obamacare”. Today, Obama signed the reconciliation bill that was supposed to implement the “fixes” to Obamacare, as required by the House. But, they decided to attach the Student Aid and [...]
This Ain't No Waterloo
Stupak and the Blue Dogs caved / drank the Kool-Aid / got bought off — don’t hold your breath for that executive order, Bart — and the Senate’s bill passed the House. Now what? Some on the Left (and part-time Republicans like David Frum) are saying that the passing of Obamacare signifies a “Waterloo” moment [...]
Obamacare Update
The smell of Obamacare is heavy in the air. So, here are a couple updates extracted from an AFP email: There’s been much talk about ‘reconciliation’ but candidly, it’s overrated and perhaps even a red herring. Here’s why. The president will sign the original Senate bill, HR3590, into law immediately following House passage. That means [...]
Pelosi is Right
Yeah, I hate to say it, but there is at least one thing on which I agree with Nancy Pelosi. Sometimes there are things more important than keeping your job. Sometimes you have to act based on principle, even when it puts in jeopardy certain comforts & privileges to which you have become accustomed. On [...]
ACORN, Blue Dogs, & Bailout Money
Just three short posts tonight: ACORN is falling apart, and it couldn’t happen to a ‘nicer’ group, I say. “ACORN has dissolved as a national structure of state organizations” due to “diminished resources, damage to the brand, unprecedented attacks,” according to an anonymous senior official. “[E]ach of the states are developing plans for reconstitution independence [...]
Better Ideas from Republicans, Part Deux
In my original post titled “So, Republicans Don’t Have Any Better Ideas, Huh?“, I explained some of the healthcare reform ideas proposed by Congressmen Paul Ryan, R-WI, and Tom Price, R-GA. I also mentioned the “GOP Solutions for America” document given the President by John Boehner, R-OH. One of my readers reminded me that Sen. [...]
