A doctor responds to Obama's NYT op-ed

American Thinker "We physicians live with our healthcare system, all day and every day. We care about being able to heal. We hate disputing with insurance companies, and especially with government bureaucrats. Certainly changes in insurance practices are needed, and would have occurred long ago, absent a government record of 60 years of meddling with the market. As you say, "...let's disagree over issues that are real, and not wild misrepresentations" such as those in your op-ed, "that bear no resemblance to anything that anyone has actually proposed.""

Could co-ops be a Trojan Horse?

American Thinker "I believe the American people have every right to be skeptical as to any abandonment of the public option, as a government-run health care system has long been a dream of the Democratic Party. Are Democrats going to abandon enacting their dream now that they control the White House, Congress, and perhaps soon the Supreme Court?"

The illustrated guide to Obamacare human props

Michelle Malkin "Little Julia Hall is just the latest in-the-tank questioner with Obama campaign/Democrat ties to turn up “randomly” at presidential health care forums. Here’s your illustrated guide to Obamacare human props."

By: Michael Barone Washington Examiner "Dear Young Obama Voter, Congratulations. You have truly changed America."...."You voted, as your candidate and our president said, for hope and change. But I ask you to consider whether the policies which the president has proposed and in some cases pushed through really amount to that."

Code Pink Tells Protesters How To Act

Sweetness & Light "As we have also regularly noted, Code Pink is a near constant disrupting presence in Congress and in Congressional hearings, where they are given access by John Conyers and other like-minded Democrats. And once again media reports of this actions almost never bother to mention the group by name or the minor fact that they are a small band of professional protesters. In actual fact Code Pink is just another ‘astroturf’ group that is paid for by Democrat (and even Hugo Chavez) money. They are in the tradition of ACORN, ANSWER and countless other professional America-hating groups."

Why We Need Health Care Reform

By BARACK OBAMA NY Times "We have the American Nurses Association and the American Medical Association on board, because our nation’s nurses and doctors know firsthand how badly we need reform. We have broad agreement in Congress on about 80 percent of what we’re trying to do. And we have an agreement from the drug companies to make prescription drugs more affordable for seniors. The AARP supports this policy, and agrees with us that reform must happen this year. " More here with comments .

Allen B West: Column from Kandahar

Atlas Shrugs "One must find it comical that the same folks who brought you the professional community organizer President are attacking citizens organizing. We have seen anti-war protests by Code Pink, PETA tossing blood on individuals, left wing enviro-terrorist groups attacking SUV dealerships, ACORN and SEIU protests, and even voter intimidation at polling stations (New Black Panther Party, Philadelphia). Yet, concerned American citizens are called extremists?"

Woodstock: 40 Years Ago, An Orgy for the Quickening of America’s Fall

Debbie Schlussel "They, the rockers, and the hippies, yippies, and other numbskulls making up the boomer generation at this infest-o-fest brought us free love . . . and STDs and AIDs, single mothers and baby mamas, and a whole new hipness to out-of-wedlock births that has brought us crime waves, sensitive men a/k/a wimps, and a whole lot of other problems."
