Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When I think of elderly people, including the ones naive enough to have believed Obama’s lies (at their age, they should have known better), my heart bleeds as I try to imagine them navigating Obamacare, and that’s true whether the system works or is broken. No matter what, a generation
Continue readingI know I’ve mentioned before that Charles C.W. Cooke is rapidly moving up my list of favorite conservative analysts. I like the way he thinks, and I like the way he writes about his thoughts. His latest outing is a firm rebuke to those Democrats who are desperately trying to

Continue readingEverything I’m hearing today about the Obamacare trainwreck sounds very familiar to me. So familiar, in fact, that I checked my blog archives and came upon this discussion I had back in August 2009 with an uber-liberal physician who believed that Obamacare would provide full medical service for every man,

Continue readingAJ Strata, who knows complex computer systems, has a few choice words about the administration’s recent statements regarding its plans to fix the exchange. Also, here’s something I’m not seeing discussed anywhere: As you’ll recall, the anti-corporate Left concluded that GM was too big to fail and that banks are
Continue readingObamacare is the greatest thing ever to happen to America or to Americans. How do we know this? Because Obama has been relentlessly spreading this gospel since 2009. It’s nothing if not interesting, then, that Obama has promised to veto legislation that would require him and his family to enroll

What was great about this article was this quotation, from an ardent supporter: Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to

Because of questions from the students, a teacher gave a brief explanation of Obamacare, which included the information that it would insure everybody and that young people would be forced to buy

This was the case with Republican Butch
