Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Still working my way through a backlog of legal and other writing work, so the best I can do is to give you a heads up about a few other articles I found interesting. All of these came courtesy of Earl, and all address Obamacare. First, Earl sent me a
Continue readingI like Megan McArdle, who strikes me as a Jake Tapper type — truly open-minded. That’s a pretty rare gift. So, with that intro, what do you think of her 11 comments about Obamacare?
Continue readingEarl has been too busy to blog here lately, but he did pass on to me something wonderfully funny that he heard on the radio. (And yes, I am encouraging Earl to use up as much of his free time as he likes to write wonderful posts here.) Without further
Continue readingI have to admit that, with all the ferocity that an anonymous armchair warrior can muster, I like the idea of a House budget defunding ObamaCare while keeping everything else in the government funded. The Senate, of course, won’t go along with that, and then there’ll be a stalemate. The

First, the video: And now my Mr. Conservative post, complete with pictures: Progressives love to tote signs around to abortion rallies
Continue readingAs we get ever closer to ObamaCare’s full launch, I’m increasingly certain that ObamaCare will be a disaster. Employers are already changing their hiring practices (keeping the numbers below 50 or, in the case of medical device companies, firing people) or jettisoning insurance altogether. For example, Trader Joe’s, UPS, and

Jonathan Tobin also adds his bit to the ramifications of the administration’s sneaky pre-holiday announcement. Keith Koffler, too, has a good analysis of the delay’s effect

The most commonly prescribed drug is antibiotics

I was therefore happy to publish Michael Cahill’s post about ObamaCare’s effects on small business.) In just six months time
Continue readingIt’s the kind of headline that makes liberals start running around screaming “Socialized medicine!! We need socialized medicine!” There it is, at the Daily Mail: “U.S. is the most dangerous place in the industrialized world for newborns with more babies dying on their first day than in any other developed

I liked what I read, so here it is: Funny Catholic Girl Complains About ObamaCare “Death Panels” March 23rd was the third anniversary of the ObamaCare law. Regardless of what you think

Continue readingI wrote a post about the fact that, when it comes to delivering a message, style is as important as content. I got a lovely email in return from Greg Joyce, at Willoughby Films: I couldn’t agree more with your point, that conservatives need to make an emotional (maybe “entertaining”
