Going Out of Business: How ObamaCare will Hurt American Businesses

Heritage "The House and Senate draft proposals for health care reform include employer mandates that require employers to pay higher taxes (as much as an 8% payroll tax) if they do not offer health insurance or if they offer it but some employees decline it and use the government system. The result of such a tax penalty will cause lower pay and job losses, especially for low-income workers. "

Obama's Self-Worship

By Mona Charen "Addressing himself directly to America's critics, the president declared, "For those who question the character and cause of my nation."

But that's not what the president had in mind."

Bibi's magnificent UN address

By Rick Moran "But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency? A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state."

An Old Claim Arises Once More: Did Barack Obama Write ‘Dreams From My Father’?

By Ron Radosh “Shy of a confession by those involved, I will not be able to prove conclusively that Obama did not write this book. As shall be seen, however, there are only two real possibilities: one is that Obama experienced a near miraculous turnaround in his literary abilities; the second is that he had major editorial help, up to and including a ghostwriter.”

Man arrested in Dallas who wanted to blow up skyscraper

By Rick Moran "Agents sold Smadi a fake bomb, much like the one detonated by Tim McVeigh in Oklahoma City, and then accompanied him as he cooly parked the van underneath the building, and sped away in another car, also driven by agents.A few blocks away, Smadi went all the way through with the terrorist attack and actually dialed the number on a cell phone to detonate the fake bomb. Agents then took him into custody."

Bitter Harvests to Come
