Heritage "One can understand why the White House was so visibly shaken by its federal court Obamacare loss. The 26 states that are party to the Florida suit will account for 266 electoral college votes in the next election. Throw in Virginia’s 13 electoral votes, where another federal court has ruled against Obamacare, and that brings the total to 279, which is more than the 270 needed to elect the next President of the United States."

The Obamacare Assault on the Rule of Law
Heritage "One can understand why the White House was so visibly shaken by its federal court Obamacare loss.

Throw in Virginia’s 13 electoral votes, where another federal court has ruled against Obamacare, and that brings the total to 279, which is more than the 270 needed to elect the next President of the United States."Obama 'Hears the Voices' of Egyptian Protesters But Ignores American Tea Parties?
FoxNation "Think back now to the summer of 2009 when hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Washington DC and cities all across this nation to protest the Obama Healthcare Bill that was passed anyway, against the will of the majority of the American people. Did President Obama take to his all powerful, all seeing, presidential podium and say, "we hear your voices"? No, he didn't...In fact, the White House unbelievably declared that it wasn't even aware of the protest rally that received nationwide coverage in advance of the rally. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "I don't know who the group is.""

What Liberals Don't Know About Guns, Chapter 217
Ann Coulter " School shootings that have been halted were almost always stopped by the happenstance of an armed citizen on school property."
....In 1998, a student attending a junior high school dance at a restaurant in Edinboro, Pa., started shooting, whereupon the restaurant owner pulled out his shotgun, chased the gunman from the restaurant and captured him for the police.One dead.
See the pattern?
In response to Columbine, schools adopted "anti-bullying" policies; in response to Virginia Tech, eBay ceased selling magazines online; in response to the Tucson shooting, liberals want to ban the particular magazine Loughner used." And then the next killer will come along with a different arsenal and a different motive, and the only way to stop him will be with an armed citizen with a gun."

In Egypt, We Cannot Afford to Repeat Past Mistakes
Max Boot "America’s role, as the champion of liberty, should be to usher Mubarak out of power as quickly and painlessly as possible in order to avert further bloodshed and to make it harder for malign elements to take advantage of the disorder for their own nefarious purposes. We did not do enough to aid democrats in Russia in 1917 or in Iran in 1979; in both cases, we stuck with a discredited ancien regime until it was too late and reacted too slowly to revolutionary upheavals. Let us not repeat that mistake in Egypt."
Daniel Pipes: Turmoil in Egypt; Why the military, not the Muslim Brotherhood, will come out on top "But revolutions are hard to pull off and I predict that Islamists will not achieve a Middle East-wide breakthrough and Tehran will not emerge as the key power broker. Some thoughts behind this conclusion:"...
Thoughts on Chaos, Revolution, and Radicalism "In short, at some point soon, we are going to have to come out and express our support for a non-Islamist constitutional state, period — without any Carter-esque talk of “moderate” Islamists."
Krauthammer Questions Obama’s Need To Make Ambiguous Public Statements On Egypt "Although Krauthammer did praise the strategy of being ambiguous in public and specific in private, he still thought it was not advisable for Obama to be injecting himself into the story and questioned “why does he pop up on television right after the President of Egypt speaks? He did that on Friday and he does it again today.” Expressing general solidarity with people in the streets is fine, but Krauthammer feared “it looks as if it was our decision, our pressure, and I’m not sure that we want a direct connection between our President and Egypt.”"

Who Tossed Egypt (to the Wolves)? "Still, it appears that the Obama Administration has been “reaching out” for some time to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt among other places, including here in the United States. Most obviously, as Sean Hannity noted on his program with me and Egyptian expatriate author and former Muslim Nonie Darwish last night, President Obama insisted that Muslim Brotherhood representatives be included in the audience for his speech in Cairo in June 2009."

Thomas Sowell: Spilled Milk
National Review Online "But not everyone understands that any power given to any bureaucracy for any purpose can be stretched far beyond that purpose."
"In a classic example of this process, the EPA has decided that, since milk contains oil, it has the authority to force farmers to comply with new regulations to file “emergency management” plans to show how they will cope with spilled milk — how farmers will train “first responders” and build “containment facilities” if there is a flood of spilled milk."
(Emphasis added.) Is there no limit to how stupid liberals can be?

Youtube "You were drawn in by the promise of hope and change -- so much so that you decided to broadcast it on your car's bumper. Back then, you were proud to be seen in your Obama-mobile. Lately, however, you've gone from hopeful to woeful, and now you're stuck with a bumper sticker that you just wish would go away. You got change, but not one that you can believe in.
Like the bad tattoo that you got in college, your Obama bumper sticker is an embarrassment that seemed like a good idea at the time. Fortunately, now you can finally do something about it.

Valerie Jarrett's Arrogance

| logisticsmonster.com |
Thomas Lifson "During an exclusive dinner hosted Monday by the Alfalfa Club, Obama adviser Valerie Jarret(sic) ...was seated at the head table along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of high-ranking military officials. As an officer sporting several stars walked past Jarrett, she signaled for his attention and said, "I'd like another glass of wine."
"Garçon!"
GOP senators force vote on health law repeal
Washington Times "The repeal effort was made a day after a judge in Florida ruled that Congress breached the Constitution when it enacted the measure last year. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson was the second jurist to say that Congress exceeded its powers by requiring Americans to buy insurance, known as the "individual mandate."ObamaCare; now what? " But Democrats have an easy fallback for that, which will be their argument from now until the cows come home ... repealing ObamaCare will be a deficit-buster. Yup! They will say that they cannot support the amendment because they are conscious about our deficit problems. We've already blown this argument to smithereens, but the fact is that deficit concerns will continue to be a fallback"....
"Let's just recognize that the Democrats recognize that Americans are very upset about the lack of jobs out there, so pretty much any bill they try to pass is going to be called a jobs bill. They could pass a bill requiring you to wash your hands 10 times a day and they would call it a jobs bill because somebody has to manufacture the soap." Emphasis added.
All GOP senators now on board for Obamacare repeal "The following GOP senators were the last ones to sign on as co-sponsors of S. 192: Lamar Alexander (TN), Thad Cochran (MS), Susan Collins (ME), Chuck Grassley (IA), John Hoeven (ND), Richard Lugar (IN), and Lisa Murkowski (AK).
"Certainly, Judge Vinson's ruling on Monday helped to sway some of these stragglers."
Even the RINOs came on board.

Obama, Not Egypt, is Biggest Threat to U.S. Energy Prices
Heritage "Government policies that ban economically feasible energy development while subsidizing economically unsustainable ones only raise energy costs rather than lowering them. What the U.S. economy really needs is a truly free-market energy approach, one that includes (1) real nuclear energy reform, not more loan guarantees; (2) predictable and sensible coal regulations; (3) reduced regulation on renewable energy; (4) an end to all energy subsidies; and (5) common-sense limits to environmental litigation."
