Obamacare runs counter to GOP principles

Washington Examiner "The six Senate Republicans seeking a "bipartisan compromise" on President Obama's proposal for a government-run health care system are flirting with a provision - an individual mandate to buy government-approved health insurance - that runs counter to everything the GOP stands for.

The arrogance of advice-givers

By Ethel C. Fenig "...That these less than brilliant insights ignore basic facts about the situation and would, if followed, result in the death of many Israelis and ultimately, the destruction of Israel, is totally irrelevant to these empty airheads living far from the scene. "

Jimmy Carter says you're a racist

By Rick Moran "We must demand that President Obama make it absolutely clear that the patriots who marched on 9/12 as well as others who oppose him, do so not because of his race but because we strenuously disagree with the direction he is taking the country. And he must condemn all of his supporters who so casually, and so viciously attack their opponents so unfairly and with so little cause."

What's Going on in Pyongyang? / North Korea responds to sticks, not carrots

By Gordon G. Chang "Kim Dae-jung once observed that the North Koreans "keep making the same mistakes over and over again." The United States is guilty of repeating old errors as well. That is perhaps the major reason why a destitute North Korea so often gets the better of the world's most powerful state."

Fables for Adults

By Thomas Sowell "...But if every deviation from the ideal is a reason to be panicked and stampeded into putting dangerous arbitrary powers into the hands of government, then go directly to totalitarianism, do not pass "Go", do not collect $200."

SO ... NOW WE ALL KNOW THIS IS JUST ABOUT OBAMA'S RACE

By Neal Boortz "Last year, before the election, some of us predicted that if (or when) Barack Obama became president that this would happen. We said that every time his policies met with opposition the left would start screaming racism. So what happened when we said that this would happen? Well ... you guessed it. We were called racists..."

AND EVEN MORE IDIOTIC RACISM CLAIMS

By Neal Boortz "Don't you folks fret none about the people who live in Johnson's district. Remember .. Cynthia McKinney. They're used to being represented in Congress by race pimps and fools. They've perfected the practice of going to congressmen in neighboring districts for constituent services while their congressman parades around all day in clown makeup."

OH GOODIE .. .NOW WE'VE HEARD FROM JIMMY CARTER

Boortz "If you don't live in Atlanta you would really have no way of knowing that we view Carter as a highly visible crazy uncle who wanders around muttering to himself most of the time. We're glad you got to share in our pain on this one." Carter and MSNBC: they deserve each other.
