He'll get over it....

Henry Waxman is confused and afraid:

"Henry Waxman is confused and afraid.

Waxman is the California Congressman who looks like a fruit bat and heads up the House Committee on Wealth Extraction and Job Disappearance."

As long as it's MY authoritarianism...

Submission to authoritarianism is freedom!:

"What never ceases to fascinate me is the sheer gall of liberals in attributing 'authoritarianism' to conservatives and libertarians while pretending that liberals are the authoritarian antithesis. It is one of liberalism's biggest lies. Like so many of the people who drive around with bumperstickers that say 'QUESTION AUTHORITY' -- while they really mean to say 'QUESTION AUTHORITY SELECTIVELY.'"

Right between the gonads....

JammieWearingFool:

A day after New York Times simpleton Frank Rich compared Barack Obama to Superman and declared him more popular than any politician, we get word today that the Tea Party, which isn't really a party at all, is more popular than his hero.

Neither is this administartion...

Robert Reich:

"A census-taking job is better than no job, but it’s no substitute for the real thing."

Schlemiel, Schlmozel, Schmuck.....

Mark Steyn:

"The Obama administration came into office promising to press the “reset” button with the rest of the world after eight years of the so-called arrogant, swaggering Texan cowboy blundering his way around the planet offending peoples from many lands. Instead, Obama pressed the ejector-seat button: Brits, Czechs, Israelis, Indians found themselves given the brush. I gather the Queen was “amused” by the president’s thoughtful gift of an iPod preloaded with Obama speeches — and, fortunately for Her Majesty, the 160GB model only has storage capacity for two of them, or three if you include one of his shorter perorations. But Gordon Brown would like to be liked by Barack Obama, and can’t understand why he isn’t."

Well, ain't that news?

Communications Corruption at the White House:

"Some journalists seem to be putting their self interest above their responsibilities to the public as well as their employers."

Someone shove this down Mikey Moore's throat....

Stating The Obvious:

"I'm always surprised people can ignore the most obvious economic lessons of the 20th Century: statism slows productivity growth, and in the end productivity growth is more important than anything else (GDP is just population x productivity). You're about ten times better off being in the lowest quartile of the rich, unequal United States than a median forcibly equalized Cuban or North Korean, and the poorest U.S. state has a higher PPP GDP per capita than most of the Western European social democracies."

But isn't that a good thing?

Jonah Goldberg:

"Fossil fuels aren’t going anywhere for at least a few decades. Even if we don’t drill, other countries certainly will. No country in the world with significant oil or gas resources is abstaining from exploiting them — except for America. Environmentalists say that makes us a leader; the rest of the world says that makes us a sucker."

You'd think, wouldn't you? But no such luck...

Reason Magazine:

"....when one ascends to the position of New York Times columnist, ignorance is an unconvincing excuse ..."

You don't say....

Companies Push to Repeal Provision of Health Reform:

"“...a serious mistake that is having negative and unintended consequences.”"

Just what I was thinking....

New World’s Record for Chutzpah: Obama’s Seder:

"Can any Jew with a smidgeon of self-respect or affection for Israel think that having a president say “Next year in Jerusalem!” while sitting at a table with matzo and macaroons makes up for policies that treat the 200,000 Jews living in the post-1967 Jewish neighborhoods of their own ancient capital as illegal settlers on stolen land?"

getting screwed every day.... aren't we?

The Government Pay Boom:

"It turns out there really is growing inequality in America. It's the 45% premium in pay and benefits that government workers receive over the poor saps who create wealth in the private economy."

Hope and Change!

Gateway Pundit:

Do you remember when Jesse Jackson said that under Obama Jews would lose all of their clout?
He was right.

The VAT Cometh...and You's the Fuckee!

Charles Krauthammer:

"Obama’s strategy is exactly the opposite: Expand the beast, and then feed it. Spend first — which then forces taxation. Now that, with the institution of universal health care, we are becoming the full entitlement state, the beast will have to be fed."

End of the Rubes?

I believe that spells: O-B-A-M-A

A Pretense Masquerading as Virtue:

"The ticktock of what transpired during the final 72 hours before the vote will keep political science majors -- and psychologists -- happily lost in research for years. Meanwhile, whatever Americans feel about the health care bill and its relative merits, they should disabuse themselves of any idea that this was an honest play."

Mean Streets...

The New Republic:

"Whatever arrangements about Jerusalem are eventually made in a peace agreement, and I no longer expect to see one in my lifetime, Jerusalem will remain both the capital of Israel and a demographically mottled city. It makes no sense to show contempt for the people with whom you are destined to live. It is not only cruel, it is stupid. So the dispossession of the El Ghawis is a disgrace. And a Jewish disgrace, because it was Simon the Just, the legendary leader buried in an ancient cave not far from the El Ghawis’ house, who famously taught that one of the things which supports the world in existence is the practice of kindness."

Bingo....!

Jonah Goldberg:

"The Obama administration has turned the insurance industry into the Blackwater of socialized medicine."

Bye, bye Ms. American Pie.....

Where Were You When the Republic Died?:

"In November 2008, Americans elected a socialist as their president. In March 2010, they woke up stunned to find themselves living in a socialist country."

Tattered Liberty - as always, read the whole thing!

Mark Steyn:

"...the only reason Sweden can be Sweden and Germany Germany and France France is that America is America. Who will cushion America’s decline as America cushioned Europe’s?"
