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 [...]

‘Any House member who votes for the Senate health bill is casting a career-defining pro-abortion vote’

March 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment

February 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) has died at the age of 77 after succumbing to an infection following gall bladder surgery a few weeks ago. Aside from the fact that he served his country as a Marine in Vietnam, I can’t say that I liked him much.  Still, his passing is newsworthy. Congressman Murtha first found [...]

Rule Change Could Make Death Panels Permanent

December 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment

On the Senate floor yesterday, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) pointed out how a rule change contained in the 2,700-page government-run health care bill being pushed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is illegal and, if allowed to go uncontested, will result in the death panel provision of the bill becoming permanent. In the 11-minute [...]

E-mail Offers Details of Impeach Obama Campaign

December 17th, 2009 · No Comments

The e-mail serves two functions: First, it invites people to join a movement to Impeach President Barack Obama; and Second, it asks people to donate funds to finance the [...]
