Imagine if President George W. Bush had his policies ruled unconstitutional in the courts and he continued with them anyway. Or if he suddenly decided that he just didn't like a certain law and told his AG to stop defending it. The Left (and mainstream media) would be awash with cries for impeachment. It'd be a never-ending news cycle scandal ( Read more... )

I find it tragically ironic that after eight years of the most venomous, vitriolic hate-filled declarations of ill-will and desires for nightmarishly violent ends to members of the previous Republican administration the Interwebz are today suddenly awash with petitions declaring a cease-fire on angry political rhetoric and begging for signatures ( Read more... )

Either they're not from here or they're millionaires from here. Otherwise there's no way a rational person could argue that making $250,000 in Southern California makes one "rich."

When did the Left become okay with the man they dubbed "General Betrayus?"

CNN: House Democrats weigh controversial rule in health care vote, in which the House Democrats explore the option of a vote to simply "deem" the Senate bill passed. I'm not even sure I follow this on a conceptual level: how is it functionally different than voting on the Senate bill directly? If you vote to "deem" the bill passed, then aren't you ( Read more... )

I'm noticing a lot of friends are posting links to President Obama's push to spread 'facts' about his health care "plan" on Facebook. For the sake of keeping flame wars off of my friends' profile pages, I figure I'd just post this here ( Read more... )
