A Birthright? Maybe Not.

George Will "It is difficult to imagine a more irrational and self-defeating legal system than one which makes unauthorized entry into this country a criminal offense and simultaneously provides perhaps the greatest possible inducement to illegal entry."

REPEAL; Why and how Obamacare must be undone

Weekly Standard "And the repeal of Obamacare is essential to any meaningful effort to bring down health care costs, provide greater stability and security of coverage to more Americans, and address our entitlement crisis. Both the program’s original design and its contorted final form make repairs at the edges unworkable. The only solution is to repeal it and pursue genuine health care reform in its stead." Yuval Levin

Liberty and Equality: Are They Compatible?

Big Government "Perhaps the ubiquitous Reverend Al Sharpton who seems to insinuate himself into every high-profile controversy said it best on Fox as the infamous vote was being tallied. When rhetorically asked by the equally ubiquitous Geraldo Rivera whether he was concerned that the vote was a big step toward socialism, Reverend Al happily responded that when America voted for Barack Obama, America voted for socialism. And he was right…only most Americans who voted for Obama really didn’t know or believe that."

Let's All Passover

Warning Signs "It would be a great thing for the world if everyone, Jew, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and atheist, sat down to celebrate Passover because a “chosen” people has given so much to the world and received so little thanks in return. You will note I did not include Muslims. Their track record is slim, their animosity to all other faiths is well known, and their current behavior worldwide is drenched in blood." Alan Caruba.

PSA: These are the People Calling Us Violent Racists...

Weasel Zippers "If even one protester at one tea party held one sign like any of these it would be front-page news. Safe to say we hold the moral high ground here...." Death Threats Against Bush at Protests Ignored for Years "Because this essay exists for one reason only: To prove beyond any doubt that explicit and implicit threats to Bush’s life were commonly displayed at public protests throughout his term as president. Below this introduction you will find dozens of examples of such threats — unaltered photographs from a wide variety of sources, along with links verifying their authenticity."

Howard Dean: Obamacare Is Redistribution of Wealth (Video)

Gateway Pundit "On Thursday Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) also admitted that Obamacare would correct the mal-distribution of income in America. Of course, neither one of these socialist tools are willing to part with their money… It’s only your money they’re interested in."

Fidel Castro: Passage of Obama’s Health Care Plan Is “A Miracle”

Heritage "As President Barack Obama embarks on a high profile campaign to bolster public opinion of his health care plan, there is one man who is already convinced that Obamacare is the right move for America – Fidel Castro, the Cuban revolutionary leader and first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party."

Heart Ache: Experts Say Tonight's "Earth Hour" May Actually Increase Carbon Emissions... Weasel Zippers "Don't forget, at 8:30pm tonight turn all your lights on to celebrate "Human Achievement Hour"... "

Deadly Obamacare Kills Businesses, Jobs

Big Government "You think Obama has been a nightmare? You ain’t seen nothing yet. That was just the preview. American business, the motor of the global economy, was dealt a deathblow by the Marxist putsch that the Democrat Party delivered in the form of the healthcare bill. Why wasn’t this made public before the vote? The numbers are staggering. It was revealed Friday that AT&T, the largest telephone company in the country, will take a one-billion-dollar hit in the current quarter as a result of this economic attack on America. The farm-equipment company Deere is looking at $150 million in new healthcare-related charges this quarter, and Caterpillar is facing $100 million. " Pamela Geller

Obamacare’s Consequence; A tarnished presidency

Weekly Standard "Henceforth Obama will be remembered as the man who accelerated America’s mad dash toward bankruptcy. He will be remembered as the leader who promoted a culture of dependency. He will be remembered as the figure who sacrificed a dream of national unity upon the altar of big government liberalism. It’s true: Obama is now a president of consequence. And almost all of those consequences are bad. "...."It has exposed him as weak: Despite 39 speeches on the topic, despite a huge investment of political capital, the health bill passed by a margin of five votes. Thirty-two Democrats defected. The public opposed this law." Matthew Continetti
