I feel a song coming on
(Marita Vargas) - It's hard to say what American artistic expression will look like under tyranny. We've had so little practice perfecting our chops while the iron rod threatens our backs. (N.E.A. grant winners who complain about the public picketing their sacrilegious exhibits notwithstanding.)...
Media still not reporting corruption and use of our tax dollars to win healthcare votes
(James Lambert) - Major media groups such as USA Today, the New York Times, NBC television, ABC news, the Washington Post and many others continue to underreport regarding the story in Washington DC this past weekend...
Stupak caves
(Sharon Hughes) - Ronald Reagan warned: "One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can't afford it"...
Blatant media dishonesty from AP about Saturday's rally
(Jim Simpson) - The Associated Press headline screams: Lawmaker Won't Press Charges in Spitting Incident," and the headline is being reprinted everywhere on the Leftist blogosphere as well as in the mass media. But read past the headline. The very first sentence of the story says: "A congressman who was spat on by a protestor on Capitol Hill says he is declining to press charges, but turns out the Capitol Police say they made no arrests." (Emphasis mine.)...
4:07 p.m., March 7, 2010: The moment we lost the United States of America
(Bryan Fischer) - Rep. Bart Stupak will go down in history as a man who will live in infamy. And March 7, 2010 will go down in history likewise as a day that will live in infamy. It is a rare thing when a nation can point to one specific moment in time in which its tragic destiny was sealed. That moment came today at 4:07 Eastern time...
Health care mandate to be enforced by IRS 'bounty hunters'
(Jim Kouri) - "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898--1963)...
Lord of the Rings updated for 2010, the Dark Lord ACORN lives
(Warner Todd Huston) - The last book of the famous Lord of the Rings Trilogy is ripe for some updating, so here's a proposal to that end. The Dark Lord Sauron is a perfect evil villain, of course. He's shadowy, unseen, hard to grasp, but pervasive and the personification of oppression and evil. But his name needs to be updated and so does his downfall in order to reflect today's sensibilities...
The goal is control
(Henry Lamb) - Whether they are called Democrats, Socialists, Marxists, or Progressives, the current leadership in Washington has but one goal: control. The current leadership has demonstrated its belief that government must control virtually every facet of the economy, of politics, and the life of every citizen...
A look at Obamacare by the numbers
(Kevin Price) - Critics of the President's health care agenda are always looking for the "right words" to convince others about the danger that will come with Obama's radical agenda. Maybe the most effective rebuttal is not in words, but in numbers. It is through reviewing the impact, in numbers, that Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is tackling this sweeping and far reaching legislation...
Though bankrupt, ACORN is succeeding in its subversive mission
(Michael Gaynor) - Obama is about to deliver as much "health care reform" as possible, fulfilling his commitment to ACORN. Obama has not been exposed and forced to retreat, but ACORN has been exposed and forced to reorganize. It's a small price for ACORN to pay to have America abandon its traditional values and adopt ACORN's socialist way...
Obama: water for votes and other atrocities
(Sher Zieve) - Obama has now joined the likes of all other despots who have ever walked and practiced their tyrannies upon planet Earth. Tyrants like Saddam Hussein, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe, Kim Jong-il and Fidel Castro are now unequivocally united with the US Usurper and Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama in their complete and total subjugation of their countries peoples...
Talk of impeachment
(Alan Caruba) - "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898--1963)...
