Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m off to lunch with two conservative friends (one I knew for years without either of us realizing the other was conservative), so I’m just going to throw these links at you. Take a deep breath, ’cause here goes: The 1950s study saying most Americans are mindless, Nazi-esque sadists was

Even the New York Times is being forced to tell the truth about those new Obamacare policies — they’re really expensive. In isolation, high deductibles might not be

Continue readingThe principal at the kids’ public high school routinely sends out emails notifying parents about upcoming events, exposures to diseases such as whooping cough, sports victories, etc. Today’s email, in addition to scheduling and sports information, contained this snippet: Lastly, Kaiser Permanente has asked our help in spreading the word

Actually reading the articles explains the inconsistencies. It turns out that the young are willing to sign up if someone else is paying for their insurance, at least
Continue readingBefore I begin, how do you like this lovely Currier and Ives image of nature’s bounty? My webmaster, Trip, suggested that as part of my site upgrade, I try to have a few images that are strongly associated with posts that might not otherwise be image-rich. When I think of

Jonathan Tobin doubts that Obama’s upcoming three-week long “Sham-Wow” commercial for ObamaCare will miraculously turn around the public’s perception that the program is a failure and the president a liar. The success
Continue readingThe news story is pretty grim, detailing the fact that the Obamacare insurance exchanges are so difficult to build, even when a private contractor is handling the work, that disaster is the only outcome: Oregon has spent more than $40 million to build its own online health care exchange. It

In the years since Obama’s election, I’ve frequently argued that, with a weak American

Continue readingSuperficially, it’s just another very funny “Hitler finds out . . .” video. At a deeper level, though, it’s a stunningly accurate and precise indictment of every bad thing we’ve found out (so far) about Obamacare’s myriad failings, both the intentional and the unintentional ones: Hat tip: Power Line
