We all remember Barack Obama’s early selling points for government supervised health care.  It was all about “helping” the unfortunate folks who were supposedly excluded from health care because they didn’t have an opportunity or the means to acquire health insurance. Well, the Democrats don’t see them as victims any longer.  Now they’re seen as […]

During his health care hype speech at George Mason University this week President Obama bellowed: If you like your doctor, you’re going to be able to keep your doctor. If you like your plan, keep your plan. I don’t believe we should give government or the insurance companies more control over health care in America. […]

How could anyone believe the chaotic farce under way in Congress could result in improved health care? The debate over ObamaCare would have ended before it began if members of the House and Senate remembered the oath they took to defend the Constitution, which does not authorize the federal government to provide or regulate health […]

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 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 […]

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. In best melodrama tradition, the Obama script is contrived to present to the audience – you – an emotional story of good Vs evil.  The entire political-media establishment will serve […]
