Ground Hog Day Deceptions

It seems that we, like Phil Connors, leading character in the movie Ground Hog Day, are stuck in a insipid time warp.  We awaken every morning to yet another rerun of the political pitch for Extreme Makeover, Health Care Edition.
Saturday morning it was the President’s “weekly address,” posted in video form on the White [...]

The Great Health Care Melodrama: Act III

Previously: Prelude Act I Act II

During Act II, the Health Care Summit, Representative Joe Barton articulated the principles that have guided Republicans’ response to the Democrats’ massive health insurance and health care regulation bills:
I do think, though, that there is a fundamental difference in the vision that you and your friends on the majority have [...]

Democrats’ Grim Choices in Post-Constitutional America

This week we have seen what post-Constitutional government looks like.  No-limit government means our liberty, rights, and prosperity are always subject to the whims of erratic political forces in Washington.
Whether or not we the people will be subjugated by an authoritarian government take-over of health care, with it’s  resultant loss of liberty, impenetrable bureaucratic [...]

The Great Health Care Melodrama: Act II

The so-called bipartisan summit took all day and, after the first hour, anesthetized the TV audience.
It didn’t turn out the way President Obama and the Democrats had hoped.   The Republican leaders, starting with a very articulate Senator Lamar Alexander were obviously better organized and in better command of the facts than Nancy Pelosi or [...]

The Great ObamaCare Melodrama: Prelude

This week, President Obama and the Democrats are producing a five-day Health Care Melodrama.  Liberty Works will provide updates as each act and scene unfolds.

We’ve Dodged A Bullet… For Now

Speaking of his dream of government run health care President Obama bellowed to a town hall meeting today:

There are things that have to be done.  We can not keep putting this off.
But back in Washington the Political-media establishment was obviously exhausted from  a year of exertions and produced no support  for the President.
Nancy Pelosi [...]

Government Supervised Health Care Vs The Constitution

The Senate and House Health Care bills are both Unconstitutional.  They violate the restrictions on government power in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.  So how can Pelosi, Reid and Obama get away with it?  They simply disregard the plain language of the Constitution.
Back in October House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked by a [...]

Ben Nelson’s Judas Moment

For weeks Democrat Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska dominated the daily news about the Senate health care bill by presenting himself as a man  of principle, opposed to abortion, and deeply concerned about the lives of precious, unborn babies.
He withheld his vote in favor of the Senate health care bill because it permitted federally [...]

Nelson Caved to Bribery, Became Harry’s Vote #60

Until Friday night Democratic Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska claimed to be withholding his Yes vote on the Senate Health Care bill until it included language that would prohibit federal funding of abortion.
