Liberal Lies About National Health Care: First in a Series

By Ann Coulter, Townhall "The only reason most "pre-existing" conditions aren't already covered is because of government regulations that shrink the insurance market to a microscopic size, which leads to fewer options in health insurance and a lot more uninsured people than would exist in a free market."

Sex-Change-apalooza; By J. Matt Barber

California Chronicle "I got a call a couple days ago from a producer with MSNBC. He wanted a hard copy of a press release I sent out entitled: “ObamaCare Likely to Mandate Free ‘Sex-Change’ Surgeries.” In the release I addressed the likelihood that, under Obama’s monolithic socialized healthcare scheme, taxpayers may well end up funding elective and entirely cosmetic “gender reassignment” surgeries. I was happy to oblige and asked which program he produced. “Rachel Maddow,” he reluctantly divulged. I chuckled and joked, “Oh, I’m sure Rachel will give me a glowing review.” "

Obama's shallow comprehension of economics major cause for concern

American Thinker "The inimitable Gerald Warner at the UK Telegraph sums it up with no pulled punches: "President Pantywaist has been found out and it will get worse....Politicians returning to Washington after scrubbing off the tar and feathers acquired at town-hall meetings are bringing with them a blast of reality that has been absent from Obama's dreamland regime since his inauguration...There will be many more U-turns as reality overtakes Obama. His economic recovery plan, which cost nearly $1 trillion dollars and masked 9,000 pork barrels, has removed his halo for even quite gullible voters. This will be a one-term presidency."

Oliver Stone revealing 'Secret History of America' (Yeah Right)

Rogue Government "Subjects will include President Harry Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, the origins of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, to "the fierce struggle between war and peace in America’s national security complex.""

IRS to be ObamaCare enforcer

American Thinker "The Senate bill imposes a new requirement that all persons who provide health care coverage to others must file a return with the IRS listing the names, addresses, social security numbers, and the coverage period for each person, and "such other information as the Secretary [of Health and Human Services] may prescribe." (Section 161(b) starting at page 107)."

Democrats see little chance for GOP cooperation on health care

Mercury News "Top Democrats said Tuesday that their go-it-alone view was being shaped by what they saw as Republicans' purposely strident tone against health care legislation during this month's congressional recess, as well as remarks by leading Republicans that current proposals were flawed beyond repair." Prepare for Armageddon on health care reform: American Thinker

Details of Clinton's visit to North Korea begin to emerge

What Went Wrong? Piling up debt, gaffes, and hypocrisy, Obama & Co. are sinking.

Victor Davis Hanson "There is foreboding that while apologies abroad are nice in the short term, they will soon earn a reckoning. And while the productive classes pay more of their income, and while government grows and entitlement expands, there is a sense that what follows will not be thanks for either taxes paid or benefits received, but even more anger that neither is enough and that much more is owed."

GM Plans a Compact for $4,000

Business Management "GM's move, meanwhile, will place their proposed vehicle into the rankings as the second cheapest low-cost car available in Asia, a commendable move given that two-thirds of GM sales were already outside North America in the first half of the year."
