I never grow tired of explaining why socialism, wealth redistribution - whatever you want to call it - won’t work. This is good because there is a seemingly endless supply of people in this country who don’t get it. They see the government (and some of the less shallow-minded even see the high achievers by extension) as an endless font of revenue that can and should be exploited endlessly until all our wants and needs are met.

A man in the UK has strangers - bureaucrats in government making life and death decisions about his health care. They were forced into deciding whether to spend a bunch of money on keeping one man alive or spend the money on the health care needs of dozens or hundreds of other individuals.

This is Big Brother folks. He sucked you in by promising to take care of your every need, now he’s telling you what your body will be like and punishing you financially if it doesn’t meet government approval.

I got to wondering today - does Obama have anyone in his orbit he doesn’t have to make excuses for, deny affiliation with, or demand is off limits? Is there anyone in this man’s life who has influenced him, taught him, advised him, or just been his friend, who Obama is comfortable putting in front [...]

“These children also could sign up for the HMSA Children’s Plan, which costs about $55 a month.” $55 - that means dropping the premium cable channels, no more going to the theater (or no more popcorn when you do), no more fast food and dining out, two hours of work per week at a minimum wage job, or maybe it means no more smoking, alcohol, or drugs.

Why this treatment? Because Joe’s message is powerful and they need to defang it. Joe is the face of what’s wrong with Obama’s economic policy proposals.

The fact this private citizen expressed himself while the media happened to be recording is enough mandate to go digging through this guy’s private life and present it to the world.

McCain spoke to issues common sense and his conservative base has wanted him to bring up for weeks, and he won the debate by the standard that he made challenges Obama could not answer.

Don’t expect to see a lot of fireworks at the debate tonight.

If bringing up Wright is such a grave threat to civil society, how’d civil society survive the three-week orgy of media coverage of him back in March?

Hugh Hewitt pointed out that this is a question Obama needs asked and he needs to answer now.
Patrick Fitzgerald, the same prosecutor who investigated Scooter Libby, is hard at work getting to the bottom of top level Chicago politics. Rumors are flying, but we do know that Rezko is talking and things don’t look [...]

One of my favorite conservative bloggers, Dr. Bruce of Faith and Facts happened to say something in a post today I found myself in a bit of disagreement with:
I am praying that over 150,000,000 people will register and vote in this election season. The opportunity to vote is both a right and a privilege. [...]
