Orthopedic Surgeons respond to Obama on amputation comment

American Thinker "President Obama has alienated the very profession whose services he will soon need to surgically remove the foot which is starting to chronically be stuck in his mouth. Orthopedic surgeons have defended their honor in response to an outrageous and ignorant attack from the POTUS.

ObamaCare and me

By Zane Pollard American Thinker "For those of you who are over 65, this bill in its present form might be lethal for you. People in England over 59 cannot receive stents for their coronary arteries.

Only deception will snooker us into surrendering the rest of our freedoms, which is precisely why the Obama administration is trying to win the debate by making sure that there isn’t one."

Karl Rove "A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position...To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position."
