Obama and the Bureaucratization of Health Care
By Sarah Palin "How can we ensure that those who need medical care receive it while also reducing health-care costs? The answers offered by Democrats in Washington all rest on one principle: that increased government involvement can solve the problem. I fundamentally disagree."

Once Upon a Time . . .Whatever happened to the old Barack Obama?
By Victor Davis Hanson = "But soon President Obama read the classified intelligence briefings. Suddenly military tribunals, renditions, the PATRIOT Act, Predator assassinations, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were not just Bush conspiracies after all, but serious, necessary tools of American overseas contingency operations to thwart real man-caused disasters. The media, Hollywood, and the intelligentsia agreed, and thus Code Pink, Michael Moore, and a screaming Al Gore either quieted down or dropped out the news. "
What ‘Highly Trained and Certified’ Professors Don’t Want You to Know
Pajamas Media "Now that they have had four decades to take over the campuses, the radical Ph.D.s prop their Birkenstocked feet upon their large desks, until someone dares to question their “expertise.” Rushing to their computers, they then splutter out their invectives against assaults on their “academic freedom.”"
People Power; A wake-up call for America's political elites.
by Matthew Continetti "Congress returns this week, and here's hoping that its members, Democrats in particular, learned a little something from this summer's town hall meetings. The lesson to be drawn from these occasionally raucous events is that America is on the verge of--or already knee-deep in--one of those moments that periodically roil the country and rearrange our preconceived notions about public life. And not a moment too soon."
My Mother, the Czar: "List of Obama's Czars"
Glenn Beck "The Brainroom counts 32 czars in the Obama administration, based on media reports from reputable sources that have identified the official in question as a czar. • In addition, President Obama has said that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring the total to 35. • Since czar isn't an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder."
"Congress's Next Giveaway" By Sen. Jim DeMint
Washington Post "The $400 million Travel Promotion Fund, set to be created if the Senate passes the Travel Promotion Act (TPA) this week, is perhaps the perfect illustration of the disconnect between the American people and their representatives in Washington. "
Whoa, Trigger / The latest gimmick to disguise a health-care 'public option.'
WSJ Online "Liberals should love the idea because a trigger isn't a substantive concession; it merely ensures that the public option will arrive eventually, instead of immediately. Democrats will goose the tests so that private insurers can't possibly meet them, mainly by imposing new regulations and other costly burdens."
Obama gets conflicting tips on health care speech
Yahoo News "The president, admired the world over for his oratory, has struggled to find the right message on health care. Polls show Americans are losing confidence in his vision of a revamped system with guaranteed coverage and lower costs."
THE BIG PUSH FOR LABOR UNIONS
Boortz "They want Democrats to pass their card check bill. Pass the card check bill and the labor unions can go on their merry way, bullying workers into a giant unionized work-force. And it seems as though the White House pandered right to them. .... Barack Obama says that "every American owes something to America's labor movement."
THE WAR AGAINST CAPITALISM
Nealz Nuze "At least Michael Moore realizes that our current system is not a democracy. Moonbats like Michael Moore like the idea of democracy because it is rule by man compared to rule by law. I'm more of a law kinda guy myself. Maybe that's because of what our founding fathers believed about the notion of democracy. Remember this one? "... the term "democrat" originated as an epithet and referred to 'one who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.'" Yeah, that seems to fit for a moonbat like Michael Moore."
