Here are, in my view, interesting, noteworthy columns and articles from the past week that I highly recommend (You will note that on occasion, I do not endorse the opinions of the author and may point that out. Despite my disagreements, I still feel the piece is worth a read).



Why you should oppose Obamacare: 32 quotes from Democrats

“The problems with health care reform are legion…..Of course, I can point those things out all day long, but it doesn't matter to Democrats because I'm a conservative.  So, I decided to put together a series of quotes from Democrats. If Dems won't believe me about how bad this bill is, how crooked the process is, the lies that were told to promote it, how it funds abortion, and how much hypocrisy and broken promises were involved in getting to this point, maybe they'll believe other Democrats.


If the health care bill is so darned super wonderful…..

“Why do we need bribes, threats, and possibly illegal emails?”


Process does matter

“The Democratic Party believes so deeply in the will of the American people that it may courageously not vote on a bill that it couldn't pass.

How we pass legislation doesn't matter, they say, as long as the cause is just. Don't worry, in the end you'll learn to love it. (Boy, I wonder if history offers any clues to where that kind of logic leads.)”


Top 5 Obamacare budget gimmicks

“This latest bill rivals the greatest magic tricks that J.K. Rowling could come up with."


If Obamacare passes what will happen by Election Day?

“If the House Democratic majority passes Obama's health care proposals, one of two things will happen by Election Day, 2010 — and neither one will be healthy for the Democrats seeking re-election.”


Fraud……who cares?

“It appears there hasn't been a single FoodShare (food stamp) fraud case prosecuted in Milwaukee County in at least 10 years, according to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office.

Other states do far more.

Minnesota and Michigan conducted at least 85% more FoodShare fraud investigations in 2007 than Wisconsin. And while Wisconsin successfully prosecuted just 20 people for fraud that year (including nine who were convicted and 11 who lost their benefits due to plea agreements), the number of successful prosecutions in Minnesota was well over 1,000. In Michigan, it exceeded 2,400.”


2009 NCAA black graduation rates

“Graduation gaps among the men’s (college basketball) top 16 seeds are profound. Seven of the 16 teams should be banned for black player rates under 50 percent"


Hey, Obama, Keep Your Hands Off My Fishing Pole

“When I hear crap that Obama and his ‘progressive’ ilk want to ban fishing, it gets me … uh … how shall I put this … um… angry. Yeah, that’s a good word. Not only are they upending this nation on many different economical fronts but now they’re talking about the recreationally and economically disastrous move of banning fishing? What’s next? Are they going to ban apple pie? Blonde-haired girls? Chevrolet? No, they own Chevy now. What about baseball?”
