ObamaCare: First, Do Some Harm — Then, Exploit the Crisis

By James Lewis "ObamaCare is a really sweet deal – if you believe in abysmal ignorance and wild guesswork as a basis for turning over control of a half-trillion-dollar-per-year medical system to a Central Committee of Wise Heads. No sane real-world organization could work this way. But power has its perks, and one of them is to dictate a revolution in the United States without ever trying to understand its consequences."

I Think the Racists in the Left Wing are Upset

By Monte Kuligowski "President Obama’s old pastor, Jeremiah White-Folks’-Greed Wright, recently made a phenomenal statement that carries tremendous insight into the worldview of the radical left. On the subject of Obama’s proposed healthcare “reform” the not-so-good reverend had this to say: “I think the racists in the right wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.”Say what?"

The convenient fantasies of President Obama

Obama's Big Political Gamble

By Karl Rove "...at a Labor Day union picnic in Cincinnati. There Mr. Obama accused critics of his health reforms of spreading "lies" and said opponents want "to do nothing." These false charges do not reveal a spirit of bipartisanship nor do they create a foundation for dialogue. It is more like what you'd say if you are planning to jam through a bill without compromise. Which is exactly what Mr. Obama is about to attempt. "

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON OBAMA'S HEALTH SPEECH

By Neal Boortz "Unfortunately the story today will be the classless rudeness of S.C. Republican Joe Wilson rather than the gaping logic holes in Obama's speech.
