The Dream Police, They Coming to Give You Health Care, Oh No!
Well, this is certainly a novel defense of Obamacare. Unfortunately for us, it was made by a federal judge and now has the binding power of law until a higher judge can strike it down for the codswallop it is. As previous Commerce Clause cases have all involved physical activity, as opposed to mental activity, [...]
President Obama Channels Judge Dredd, Reeks of Desperation
Today, President Barack Obama did something I don’t think I’ve ever seen a President do. He ordered the Department of Justice not to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act because he believes it is unconstitutional. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement released Wednesday that President Obama has decided that his administration [...]
Unions Goon Demonstrates, Escalates, but Fails to Intimidate
On Tuesday, Democratic Congressman Michael Capuano said this to a crowd of union members. “I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going…Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” [emphasis mine] [...]
Lila Rose, The Activist Who Puts Journalists to Shame

The weather today was gloriously sunny and near 70 degrees; the progressive movement is falling apart and in near-panic mode thanks to several [...]
When Voting Raised Its Ugly Head, Dems Bravely Turned Their Tails and Fled
In a day, the situation in Wisconsin has gone from merely ridiculous to bizarre. The state Senate was set to vote on Governor Walker’s “budget repair bill” except that all the Democrats were gone. Senate rules require a quorum of 20 and when the Republican Leader called the quorum, only the 19 Republicans showed up [...]
This is The Week that Should End Public Sector Unions
The most exceptional thing has been happening in Wisconsin over the past few days. Governor Scott Walker has introduced a bill that will save the state about $300 million dollars over the next ten years – a sorely-needed chunk of slack in a budget that has, like so many other state budgets, gotten entirely out [...]
Could You Use $4000? Too Bad We Don’t Work for President Obama’s Favorite Car Company
On the surface, it should be good news when a company is doing well enough that it can pay out almost $190 million dollars in bonuses to its rank and file salaried employees. If the directors are good with it, the creditors are in good shape, and the company is doing well, employees ought to [...]
