Politicians try to intimidate real world companies that can’t support the ObamaCare fantasy. The campaign for Congressional enactment of ObamaCare was a classic exercise in deception and manipulation of public perception. President Obama learned from polling and focus group data that most of us were concerned about his enormous deficits. So, his public communication, always [...]
As painful as this is to watch, stay with it until at least 1:30. You just won’t believe it.
Today, we correct a major deception by the Establishment Media. Nancy Pelosi has scheduled the final ObamaCare vote in the House for tomorrow. She intends to sidestep the Constitutional requirement that the same bill must pass both the House and Senate before becoming law. Pelosi intends to use a legislative strategy being called “Deem and [...]
Yet another negative employment report was released Friday – 36,000 jobs lost in February.

Considering the data below it’s pretty difficult to characterize employment as [...]
UPDATE: N.O.W. President Terry O’Neill claims the ad is a “celebration of violence against women.” Here’s the quote: I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it. That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. Well, they did it. CBS ran the dreaded Tim Tibow [...]
