Annals of Government Medicine
Powerline "So far, our Annals have come from the United Kingdom, but this one is from Sweden. It suggests that the human spirit has not been entirely extinguished by decades of socialism. One Swede, at least, had the courage and presence of mind to sew up his own wound when no doctors or nurses were available:"...
On Demagoguing, Obama Should Look in the Mirror
David Limbaugh "Falsely accusing people of racism is essentially the same thing as racism. It's time for Obama and many other liberals to rise above their own categorical prejudice against conservatives and quit slandering them as racists and nativists. Then we can proceed to have a rational discussion on the issue of immigration."

WOW! “SHOW ME STATE” SHOWS OBAMACARE THE DOOR… Prop C Passing By 75%
Results coming in: Missouri voters tackle ObamaCare mandate in referendum; Update: 76% voting yes early "If you want to know which news item will be making Gibbs look constipated at tomorrow’s briefing, look no further. It’s the first time voters from any state have addressed the mandate at the polls. And things are looking good."
Why Are We Beginning to Hate Congress?
Victor Davis Hanson "Our self-absorbed Congress should start to reform, fast. Right now, the American people seem to think that the main purpose of holding congressional office is to boost egos and get rich later on — and in the process make the rest of us poorer."
Drill when? Drill where?
Point of View "For the last few years, we have heard a chorus of citizens chanting: Drill here, drill now, pay less. That would make sense if you wanted to increase production of American-made energy and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But even if we do so, we should acknowledge two fundamental facts." Kerby Anderson
'The cornerstone of democracy rests on the foundation of an educated electorate': - Jefferson
American Thinker "Unfortunately, Americans are not well-informed about economics. If they were, they would have learned from the economic failures of socialism-in China, Cuba, Eastern Europe, and all of the other places where socialism took root-and elected a pragmatic leader who supports capitalist policies.
"Instead, they elected Obama, an ideologue who supports socialist policies that promote big government, class warfare, and redistribution of wealth." Who was it that said we get the government we deserve?

Khamenei: Music not in tune with 'Islamic values'
Rick Moran "If you thought it impossible Iranian society could take any more steps backwards into the stone age of civilized development, I am sorry to bust your balloon:"...
The lame duck looms
Politico "With dark warnings, GOP members of Congress and right-wing media figures are suggesting that the Democratic majority could use a post-election session of Congress to jam through tax increases, cap and trade, immigration reform and legislation making it easier for unions to organize workers. " JONATHAN MARTIN
The Lame Duck Session Could Get Lamer "There has been much concern about the Obama administration attempting to ram through various bills, such as Cap and Trade, after the November elections when Democrats will have no fear of influencing voters against them -- especially if they have just lost their election bid."

Another Victory on the Road to Repeal
Heritage "Last month at a town hall in Hayward, Calif., a constituent asked Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) about Obamacare: “If this legislation is Constitutional, what limitations are there on the federal government’s ability to tell us how to run our private lives? … If they can do this, what can’t they?” Stark, a long-time advocate of government-run health care, gave an honest yet troubling answer: “The federal government can, yes, do most anything in this country.” "
"Yesterday a federal court in Virginia agreed with the logic, but not the Constitutional understanding, of Stark’s view of federal government power. In the first substantive legal ruling on President Barack Obama’s health regulation law, U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson held that the Commonwealth of Virginia raised a valid substantive theory to challenge Obamacare and that its democratically passed Virginia Health Care Freedom Act provided it standing to challenge the federal individual mandate."

Backdoor Amnesty
Investors.com "Polls show Democrats have decisively lost the debate over granting amnesty to illegals. But has that stopped them? Hardly. Using the federal bureaucracy as their agent, they plan to do it anyway. This is what happens when big government becomes so powerful that those who run it feel they can do whatever they want — no matter what the Constitution allows or the people prefer."
JournoList, Shame of a Nation: Ripping the Veil from ‘Objectivity’ to Reveal the Partisan Hacks Beneath
Big Journalism "So rather than decrying the JournoList as a bad thing, I choose to celebrate it for further illuminating the true state of things. The Mainstream Media is exceedingly, socially, and politically liberal. It has been for years, and its high-time the charade was finally ended. Only the emergence of an equally biased, right-wing media exposed the list, and only that same new media can continue to break down the left-wing media’s faux-fairness front to reveal them for what they really are. In the balance that might one day exist between left-media and right-media, a better quality of journalism will emerge – one where sloppy, selective, dishonest reporting is instantly revealed by the opposition."
Top Ten Most Left-Biased Working Journalists "Each of the ten entires is a 500 or more word essay detailing various instances of bias and the history of the journalists I chose as the top ten most left-biased journos. The entries are chock full of links to the examples of bias and the series really caused quite a lot of interest."
