Rep. Paul Ryan: “Hiding spending does not reduce spending” and “We don’t think the government should be in control of all of this”

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was a star today.  I particularly enjoyed his take down of the healthcare bill hidden costs and the government control aspect of it all……and the accompanying sour face from Obambi. (H/T: Protein Wisdom)

Thoughts on Obama’s healthcare summit today

As I mentioned in a previous post, I watched the Obamacare summit today almost in its entirety.  I have a few general thoughts, but also want to round up opinions around the blogs and news outlets. My thoughts: The Republicans made the right choice in attending.  Not only were they effective in outlining flaws in the [...]

UPDATE 2/25: GOP nixes the Dems sneak attack in the bill; Democrats more concerned about terrorist “phobias” and sleep deprivation than defending American lives

Scroll down for UDPATE. Today, while the Obamacare kabuki theatre was well into its purposeless discussions, the Democrats in the House were busy making sure that our country is less safe from the actions of terrorists who wish us dead. From National Review Online: The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves. While the country and the [...]

Laugh for the Day – Barack Obama

Obama met with business leaders at a roundtable meeting today.  Apparently being defensive about  ..hhuummmhh…huummhhh..(clearing throat) … his ideology, Obama had this to say: “Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market.” LOLOLOLOL…. You know they say laughing is healthy.  Michelle Obama would be happy [...]

Scott Brown — a one trick pony?

Well, I’m not really surprised, just disappointed that Scott Brown met my expectations as a RINO.  Scott Brown voted yesterday with the Democrats in a “jobs bill” procedural vote.  This bill is nothing more than more borrowed government money being thrown at a gargantuan problem…and will get little to no results in providing jobs.  Scott Brown [...]

The nauseating nautical metaphor that is Obamacare

There are certainly some unsettled seas in America right now and the American Thinker asks “Is Obama steering the ship of State toward the rocks?“ Obama is now coming out with two contradictory messages. Either… (a) He is set to drive Medi-Grab through Congress, regardless of American popular opposition, or… (b) He is ready to [...]

Government now wants to takeover your 401K?

Well, this notion of the government taking over 401K’s was brought up in the Fall of 2008 and is rearing its ugly head again. From BusinessWeek.com: The Obama administration is weighing how the government can encourage workers to turn their savings into guaranteed income streams following a collapse in retiree accounts when the stock market [...]

Cap and Tax being voted on in Senate this week

Watch out — the arrogant taxinators and faux global warmers are at it again.  They plan to redistribute wealth by hook or by crook.  (mostly the crook part) According to the NY Times, the Senate will begin voting on Cap and Tax this week.  These global warming hoax scoundrels in the Senate (including Lindsey Graham [...]

Quotes of the Day – Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hansen is a great historian.  In his column today he talks about the lessons we can learn from the Greeks — not classical Greeks — but modern day Greece. Two quotes stand out, but I recommend reading the entire article about Greece’s plunge into socialism including entitlements, tax cheats, pacificism and more and the decay [...]

Psst..Biden..Gibbs..Obama–Iraq victory came through our military and Bush, not cut-and-runners like yourselves

I have to laugh to keep from throwing my keyboard at the absurdity of VP Joe Biden and Press Secretary Gibbs —both representatives of the Obama administration–claiming that Iraq could be the biggest “achievement” for the Obama administration so far. Robert Gibbs, Obama’s press secretary, tried to take credit for Iraqi success on Thursday in a press briefing.  Paraphrased [...]
