Here’s one for the record books: Freshman Republican Congressman Billy Long of Missouri’s 7th Congressional District, an auctioneer by trade, seems to be at a loss for words. On April 15, Bret Funk responded to a media request from me via email, writing, “Apologies Bob, we are initially focusing on our district press for media [...]

January 19th, 2011 · 3 Comments
With news out of Washington, D.C., that House Republicans will, today, begin their push to repeal ObamaCare (a.k.a., “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”), I’m offering another look at my video interviews with doctors, patients and others on the subject of government-run health care. The first video (below) appeared in a March 25 post, [...]

Democrats Ignore Basic Economic Facts
October 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment
By Foster Friess, Guest Blogger Democrats are fond of talking about the Clinton era budget surplus President George W. Bush “squandered” and the terrible financial mess President Barack Obama “inherited.” Both arguments ignore a few basic facts. First, presidents don’t control spending, Congress does. Second, outside events have to be taken into account before you [...]

Offshore Drilling Moratorium No Longer Necessary
July 21st, 2010 · No Comments
Another reason why we don’t need a moratorium on offshore drilling: nobody else is going to be taking risks during the next six months like BP did three months prior to the April 20 Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico that left 11 dead and created one of the worst ecological disasters in [...]

Rush Warns About Future of Health Care Months After I Infiltrated Single-Payer Strategy Confab
March 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment
IF President Barack Obama’s so-called health care reform plan (a.k.a., “ObamaCare”) becomes law and UNTIL it’s rescinded for being unconstitutional, you can rest assured that more harmful legislation — including public option and single-payer option health care — will soon be following it down the slippery slope of socialism. That’s the essence of what radio [...]

HEALTH CARE: There’s a Target on Your Back!
March 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments
One year ago today, I published a post in which I reported that President Barack Obama had yielded to public pressure and dropped his plan to charge wounded war veterans for their treatment. Little did I realize that the president, then still enjoying his “First 100 Daze”, was merely adjusting his sights and taking aim [...]
