1. Health Care Reform: Nothing To Do With Health Care: It’s About Control

    → CanadaFreePress.Com | 13 Mar 2010 | 12:53 am MST

    Since the far left assumed leadership of the Democratic Party and both Houses of Congress, it was clear to most political observers the expansion of big government would be at the top of their legislative agenda.  When Barack Obama became President, the dreams of liberal extremists were within their grasp.  It has been said there are three ways to control a population.  By controlling food, water and energy, government can assume power over its citizens.  However, when government takes control over an individual’s health—or how that health care is provided—it is the ultimate expression of power.

  2. What the Supreme Court said on the EPA

    → CanadaFreePress.Com | 12 Mar 2010 | 11:15 pm MST

    Link to Inhofe EPW Press Blog It was the spark that caused the fire: In 1999, 19 organizations, led by the International Center for Technology Assessment (ICTA), petitioned EPA to regulate greenhouse gases from mobile sources under Section 202 of the Clean Air Act.  The so-called ICTA petition was denied in 2003 by the Bush EPA (via the Fabricant memo), and the inevitable litigation parade ensued.  Several states and environmental groups joined ICTA, and Massachusetts became the lead plaintiff.  The case went to the DC Circuit, and in a 2 to 1 decision, the court in Massachusetts v. EPA upheld EPA’s decision.  A writ of certiorari was filed with the Supreme Court, and the court agreed to hear the case.  In a 5 to 4 decision, the court sided with Massachusetts, and the rest was history.

    → California Conservative | 11 Mar 2010 | 8:54 am MST

    I’ve had it up to here with the White House’s spinning about Chief Justice John Roberts.

  76. We really need to consider mandatory retirement age for members of Congress

    → | 11 Mar 2010 | 5:00 am MST

    I remember my family being the client of a cleaning woman who was us for decades. I grew up knowing her and I loved her.  She gave me birthday cards and presents. She came to my High School graduation. She encouraged me as I advanced my schooling.  More importantly, she put up with those food dishes under [...]

  77. Pop Quiz: What do student loans and health care insurance have in common?

    → | 11 Mar 2010 | 3:00 am MST

    Answer: Nothing. But that won’t stop the House from tossing student loan reform into that health care bill nobody likes. It’s hard to imagine how their thought process works, but one thing’s for sure:  They could screw up a free lunch. As if the Health Care No Reform bill isn’t offensive enough to everyone except the health [...]

    → California Conservative | 10 Mar 2010 | 12:54 pm MST

    If I hadn’t read it, I’d never have believed that Pelosi’s Democrats are actually considering a way to pass the Senate’s health care bill without voting on it.

    When we first learned that Tom Hanks was going to make The Pacific we were almost beside ourself with joy.

  81. Finally, The Trance Is Broken

    → California Conservative | 10 Mar 2010 | 8:34 am MST

    In 2008, Big Business crawled in bed with the Obama campaign, figuring that if they played nice, they’d get preferential treatment when President Obama started implementing his radical agenda. They quickly found out that they weren’t getting preferential treatment. they quickly realized that they weren’t dinner guests but that they were THE MENU. Based on [...]

  82. Nope, That’s Not Inconsistent At All…

    → Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler | 8 Mar 2010 | 9:20 pm MST

    LC & IB Alexthechick isn’t in the least bit equivocating on the issue of whether or not it is “unconstitutional” that the Westboro Phaggot Phelpses are being brought before the Supreme Court in the case of them harassing and disrupting a hero’s funeral in the name of their “faith.” The Westboro freaks can go fuck themselves. …and [...]

  85. School Civil Rights Chief: "We Are Back in Business"

    → Bizblogger | 8 Mar 2010 | 6:03 am MST

    Our post-racial president is again being singularly focused on one issue: race - this time in the classrooms. Apparently Obama is going to crack down on schools that don't give the same opportunity to both whites and blacks, however he decides to define that.

    According to an advance text of the speech, Mr. Duncan is expected to say the department will focus on racial disparities in the availability and quality of high-school college-preparatory classes and on the differences in how students of different races are disciplined in public schools.

    Hey, what could go wrong?
