Health Care Reform is just a big scam to benefit the people who helped get Obama elected. Don't Be fooled people, if they did it once they will do it again.

    Below are the 39 House Democrats who voted for Pelosi's health care reform bill on Nov. 7, 2009. They should be thanked for their display of conviction, patriotism, courage, and for voting their principles while under considerable political pressure from the Marxist wing of the Democrat Party. These 39 Democrat representatives voted to respect the Constitution, respect individual and property rights, and voted against further expansion of an already out-of-control federal government...

    Anh "Joseph" Cao was born in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam. His father, an officer with the South Vietnamese Army, was imprisoned by the Communists. At the age of eight, Joseph escaped to America with two of his siblings. He learned English, thrived in school, and earned a physics degree from Baylor University before he began studying for the priesthood. Joseph first arrived in New Orleans in 1992. He left to earn a Master's degree in philosophy from New York's Fordham University, returning to Loyola University to teach philosophy and ethics. As he prepared for priesthood, his faith...

You see, elections have consequences, and this is the consequence of Socialist Democrats who want to be in every aspect of your lives. Not one Democrat who voted for this abomination

    After months of Tea Parties, town hall meetings, marches on Washington, and millions of calls, letters, and faxes, the Pelosi House of Representatives still passed the most comprehensive control of American lives to date. On the C-SPAN broadcast of the live vote, several citizens who supported the bill called in to tell their stories. Some had pre-existing conditions. Some were elderly and on Medicare. Some just wanted things to be “fair.” All of them, whether they believe it or not, were simply making the statement that they were willing to trade their freedom for financial security.

But the health-care reform lobby continues to attack Whole Foods as if he were an apostate. In response to the hullabaloo, Mr. Mackey has been understandably defensive. In early September, he wrote about the op-ed on his blog: "I gave my personal opinions. Whole Foods has no official position on the issue." So I ask him, does he regret writing the article?

    Tonight, the US House of Representatives will vote on a bill, that if approved by both Houses of Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, would mean a major takeover of 1/6 of the American economy by the government. The bill proposes a new public plan, that would compete with private insurance in what the Democrats call “national health insurance exchange.” Even though the bill itself doesn’t propose a single-payer system, many independent experts argue that this bill would “evolutionate” towards a single-payer system. I am asking you to join me on contacting our congresspeople. You still have...

    The Joint Economic Committee (JEC) House Republican staff, which earlier this year created a chart mapping the bureaucratic complexity of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s original health care proposal (H.R. 3200), has combined similar analysis by the House Republican Conference with the earlier chart. The analysis details new additions to the health care bureaucracy contained in the new version of the Speaker’s bill (H.R. 3962) that were not previously listed. Let’s just say the Speaker’s vision for government-run health care hasn’t gotten any simpler.

    The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Democrat Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias is trying to use Mark Kirk's approach of Sarah Palin for an endorsement against him. Giannoulias is attempting to use the Kirk/Palin incident as a fund raising tool. A few days ago, we reported that Mark Kirk sent a letter to Governor Sarah Palin challenging her to support his candidacy for the GOP nomination for Barack Obama's old Illinois Senate seat. It seems unlikely that Kirk will receive Palin's endorsement, though. Being far, far too liberal Kirk is hardly Palin's sort of Republican. But Giannoulias thinks that even the...

    Analysis of the pending Obama Administration health care bill indicates that most taxpayers will end up paying more, yet get less medical care than they currently do under preexisting plans. This, however, is not a bad thing according to an Obama Administration spokesperson. “An estimated 90% of visits to the doctor are unnecessary,” observed Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. “By eliminating as many of these visits as we can, we will hold down the cost of care. We will also be reducing the frequency with which patients are injured by doctors. Most people aren’t aware that being...

    President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.

    What a day of contrast in America. In New York Harbor sits the latest warship of the US Navy, whose bow contains tons of steel that once supported the World Trade Center towers, the USS New York. In Washington, DC Speaker Nancy Pelosi intends to ram through the House a 2,000 page bill which will rob Americans of their freedom, giving the Federal government unprecedented control over the lives of every American. The warship will be commissioned today, in the name of the American people, to defend their freedom. The Speaker will try to enslave those same people. Make no...
  • Video: Make Freedom Mine

    Today I came across an old video of a cartoon from 1948 called "Make Mine Freedom." The quality is not the greatest, but the message is crystal clear. First, the video and then a little commentary: It's funny to think today that even at the height of capitalist propaganda versus communist propaganda, people were ashamed of being capitalists. What is it that makes success so shameful? Why is it that when one man makes a fortune and spreads wealth throughout society, it's considered greed or selfishness, but when the snake-oil salesmen from the government steal our money and freedom while...

    With plenty of money to invest from the interest owed to it by the United States, China continues reaching out its tentacles to grab more natural resources from Africa.

    It is not often that decency and perseverance overcome the ministrations of unctuous leftist frauds and their masters at the UN,OAS and US State Department. All the world was allied against those in Honduras attempting to maintain a fragile republic and adhere to its Constitution. (Americans would do well to take note as we may soon have to defend our own Constitution from the same bunch.) Nevertheless, the news from Honduras is good. Briefly, on June 28th of this year Manuel Zelaya was deposed by the order of the Supreme Court of Honduras. Among other things, he specifically violated the...

    Rarely does a single piece of mail cause one's heart to flutter, face to flush and knees to buckle. But, then again, rarely does a piece of mail arrive with the dreaded return address: Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service That's the "Welcome Home" that greeted me this past Tuesday as I dragged myself through the front door after a rough day of earning a living, playing golf and ferrying adolescent infants from one suburban soiree to another. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I owed our esteemed and infallible federal government... $11,589.22! Holy smoke. What did I...

    Even though Stupak says he will lead 40 Democrats to vote against the healthcare bill, he won’t be in DC to strip the provision from the bill, nor will he vote on it. As theblogprof points out, at a recent town hall in Cheboygan Stupak said: If everything I want [is] in the final bill, I like everything in the bill except you have public funding for abortion, and we had a chance to run our amendment and we lost. OK, I voted my conscience, stayed true to my principles, stayed true to the beliefs of this district, could I...
