My Son’s Not Brain Dead; That’s His Obama Impression

by Smitty Via Daily Pundit and All American Blogger comes a creepy tale from Old Blighted of some ‘doctors’ who, for whatever reason, didn’t seem interested in doing their job: The Mail reports that Stephen Thorpe, then 17, was placed in a medically-induced coma following a multi-car pileup that had already taken the life of [...]

Dean Clancy At FreedomWorks Didn’t Get The Memo

by Smitty And so here is Clancy, nattering on, in defiance of the Received Wisdom that the GOP has no ideas of how to improve health care in the United States. He even blasphemes the Holy Tax Code: The Republicans do have a bunch of ideas for fixing what ails our health care system. I’ll [...]

The Cold Civil War

by Smitty My current commute is ~45 minutes. I like to use that time to check in with Stacy, and continue the attempts to guide him along paths of TweeDeck righteousness. We’ll get him there. I also like to chat up my dad, a retired Navy E-7 with a GED who may or may not [...]

E.J. Dionne, Political Psychic

Everybody knows that E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post is a liberal Democrat — both a partisan and an ideologue — a “social justice” Catholic from Massachusetts whose political beau ideal is Ted Kennedy. (Ah, “compassionate liberalism“! Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.) Only a person of such impeccably ironclad progressive credentials [...]

Brutal: New Rick Santorum TV Ad Compares Mitt Romney to Barack Obama

According to Politico, this new TV ad is now running in Wisconsin and will soon be running in Pennsylvania: UPDATE: This ad appears to be part of a general effort by the Santorum campaign to put the focus squarely on health care, as the candidate also publishes an op-ed column in USA Today: As the [...]

ObamaCare: The Big Lie

“They could have been honest with us. They could have come to us as men and women and talked with us, sought our counsel. They could have tried to convince us that the good of their ideas was worth all we would have to give up to get it. They did not. They lied and [...]

Rutherford B. Hayes Responds To Pelosi

by Smitty On the topic of Bobby Rush beclowning himself: On the topic of writing ObamaCare Constitutionally: “I’m a supporter of judicial review, I honor the Constitution in that regard,” Pelosi said to reporters. “That’s why we wrote our bill in a way that was Constitutional. I still feel pretty confident about it. And if [...]

Could The SCOTUS Prove Worse Than Nancy Pelosi?

by Smitty Big Government links SCOTUSblog, and then BG concludes, emphasis mine: Apparently, both Justices Scalia and Kennedy didn’t trust that Congress might be able to work out a new law that was actually Constitutional; Kennedy stated that asking Congress to do its job would be unrealistic unless the Court was speaking about “the hypothetical [...]

Making ObamaCare Constitutional

by Smitty Here is a short clip, via Breitbart, of two modern Liberal sophists trying to dance around the un-Constitutionality of their puropse: What is the proper way for them to achieve the aim? Article 5 – Amendment The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this [...]

Remember, We’re Paying This Incompetent To Steal Our Liberty

by Smitty Via the comments at Breitbart: Justice Elena Kagan asked whether refusing to buy insurance would constitute breaking the law, to which Verrilli responded that if people “pay the tax, then they are in compliance with the law.” That caught the attention of Justice Stephen Breyer. “Why do you keep saying tax?” Breyer interjected, [...]

Why Was NY Times Reporter Jeff Zeleny Doing Romney Campaign’s Bidding?

Rick Santorum has been using the “uniquely disqualified” line against Mitt Romney in his stump speeches for weeks to describe how RomneyCare makes the Massachusetts governor a poor choice to face Obama in November. So, while people are making a big deal of Santorum yelling “bulls–t” at New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny for asking [...]

Gillespie Serves It Dry In A Fonzie Jacket

by Smitty Nick Gillespie is always calm when explaining what should seem obvious, at least to a non-Progressive: Morrissey at Hot Air is difficult to refute: This, I believe, will be the “big f******g deal” for the Supreme Court, and perhaps not just the Scalia wing, either. The removal of this barrier on federal government [...]
