Why Obama is Wrong about Net Neutrality and His Scheme Must Be Defeated
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 15 Feb 2010 11:33 AM EST
As noted in the video (above), produced by The Heartland Institute, government isn’t in the business of preserving freedom, but of exercising power to regulate industries and control people. And this is an important thing to keep in mind — especially since President Obama recently reiterated his commitment to have government enforce a net neutrality regime on your Internet. More>>>
Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon. And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming. More>>> Sunday, January 24

Obama has suspicious number of letter-writing fans named 'Ellie Light'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sun 24 Jan 2010 06:47 AM EST
Ellie Light sure gets around. In recent weeks, Light has published virtually identical “Letters to the Editor” in support of President Barack Obama in more than a dozen newspapers.Every letter claimed a different residence for Light that happened to be in the newspaper’s circulation area. “It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything,” More>>> Sunday, January 17
Dems threaten "nuclear option" on health care debacle
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sun 17 Jan 2010 07:05 AM EST
Bloomberg reports that Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, stated that despite the special election in Massachusetts, the Dems have been preparing to use a process called "reconciliation" to pass their wildly unpopular "health care reform" bill, literally changing the rule requiring a 60 vote requirement to pass the legislation to only requiring a simple 51 vote majority.

Liberal watchdog groups give Obama administration an "A" for openness on healthcare reform
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 13 Jan 2010 08:32 AM EST
They must be watching a different administration than the rest of us are watching. Far from negotiating in open and inviting "everyone to the table", most of it has been negotiated, and continues to be hammered out, behind closed doors with a very limited number of voices permitted to speak. The GOP isn't invited to participate, let alone the American people. Where are the televised C-SPAN proceedings? This is what Obama meant by "openness"? Sunday, December 27
Percy Sutton dies; His Obama revelation omitted from obituaries
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sun 27 Dec 2009 01:53 PM EST
Excerpt: However, one of Sutton's most notable moments is absent from the media hagiographies I have seen: he stated on television that he knew that an Islamic supremacist, Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and advisor to a wealthy Saudi, had paid for Barack Obama's education at Harvard Law School. Exactly how young Barack Obama, a man of slender means, managed to pay for a Harvard Law degree has long been a mystery, and the President has not been forthcoming about any details of his elite education. See for yourself, Sutton's remarkable statement, which has been considgned to the Memory Hole, by the major media. Not even a reference to a "controversial contention" or other such euphemism. It simply never happened as far as the media are concerned. More>>> Saturday, December 26
The Senate Postmortem
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 26 Dec 2009 11:25 AM EST
In the post-dawn hours on Thursday the Senate passed ObamaCare 60 to 39, in the first vote on Christmas Eve since 1895 and after the longest consecutive session in Congress since World War I. We are thus heading toward the first U.S. entitlement program dragged across the finish line on a straight partisan majority, a bill that even its most fervent supporters admit is "flawed" but better than nothing. It is far worse than nothing. More>>> Friday, December 25
Steyn: Why climate change is hot hot hot
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 25 Dec 2009 10:12 AM EST
According to the CIA’s analysis, “detrimental global climatic change” threatens “the stability of most nations.” And, alas, for a global phenomenon, Canada will be hardest hit. The entire Dominion from the Arctic to the 49th parallel will be under 150 feet of ice. Oh, wait. That was the last “scientific consensus” on “climate change,” early seventies version, as reflected in a CIA report from August 1974 More>>> Tuesday, December 22
Change Nobody Believes In: A bill so reckless that it has to be rammed through on a partisan vote on Christmas eve
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 22 Dec 2009 07:18 AM EST
And tidings of comfort and joy from Harry Reid too. The Senate Majority Leader has decided that the last few days before Christmas are the opportune moment for a narrow majority of Democrats to stuff ObamaCare through the Senate to meet an arbitrary White House deadline. Barring some extraordinary reversal, it now seems as if they have the 60 votes they need to jump off this cliff, with one-seventh of the economy in tow. More>>> Monday, December 21
Senate Health Care Bill 'Ugly, Partisan and Dangerous'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 21 Dec 2009 08:51 AM EST
"Senators Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Robert Casey (D-Pa.) gave mere lip service to protect the most innocent among us by placing their stamp of approval on government funding for abortion coverage" in the Democrats' health care bill, a pro-life group said after Senate Democrats advanced their bill in 1 a.m. vote on Monday. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the Senate's middle-of-the night, 60-40 vote to cut off debate -- thus allowing eventual passage of the bill -- reflects the "ugly, partisan and dangerous process" that has characterized the proceedings all along: "This legislation was drafted by a handful of people, supported by only one political party and will negatively affect every single American citizen."

America Under Barack Obama An Interview with Nat Hentoff

on Mon 21 Dec 2009 08:25 AM EST
Nat Hentoff has had a life well spent, one chock full of controversy fueled by his passion for the protection of civil liberties and human rights. Hentoff is known as a civil libertarian, free speech activist, anti-death penalty advocate, pro-lifer and not uncommon critic of the ideological left...I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had.

There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 21 Dec 2009 07:22 AM EST
The dangerous idea that the democratic accountability of national governments should simply be dispensed with in favour of "global agreements" reached after closed negotiations between world leaders never, so far as I recall, entered into the arena of public discussion. Except in the United States, where it became a very contentious talking point, the US still holding firmly to the 18th-century idea that power should lie with the will of the people... There is a whiff of totalitarianism about this new theology, in which the risks are described in such cosmic terms that everything else must give way. "Globalism" is another form of the internationalism that has been a core belief of the Left: a commitment to class rather than country seemed an admirable antidote to the "blood and soil" nationalism that gave rise to fascism.

The Fight Over Fascist ObamaCare Is Only Just Beginning
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 21 Dec 2009 07:17 AM EST
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who may be unaware that he is currently enjoying his final term in the U.S. Senate, claims to have the 60 votes he needs to muscle ObamaCare through his chamber. God help us if he does. The current iteration of ObamaCare is classic Mussolini-style Fascism (i.e. corporatism). It forces Americans at gunpoint to purchase health insurance, a requirement never before imposed on the American people. More>>> Saturday, December 19
I'll Have A Blue Dog Christmas Without You
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 19 Dec 2009 11:34 PM EST
I've been saying for a year now, in NR and NRO, that the object for savvy Dems is to get this thing passed in whatever form because, once you do, there's no going back. Kim Strassel in yesterday's Journal gets it: So why the stubborn insistence on passing health reform? Think big. The liberal wing of the party—the Barney Franks, the David Obeys—are focused beyond November 2010, to the long-term political prize. They want a health-care program that inevitably leads to a value-added tax and a permanent welfare state. Big government then becomes fact, and another Ronald Reagan becomes impossible. See Continental Europe. More>>> Tuesday, December 1

The 'Real' Jobless Rate: 17.5% Of Workers Are Unemployed
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 24 Nov 2009 03:48 AM EST
As experts debate the potential speed of the US recovery, one figure looms large but is often overlooked: nearly 1 in 5 Americans is either out of work or under-employed. According to the government's broadest measure of unemployment, some 17.5 percent are either without a job entirely or underemployed. The so-called U-6 number is at the highest rate since becoming an official labor statistic in 1994. More>>> Monday, November 16
Sowell: Deepest Bow Is Reserved For World Opinion
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 16 Nov 2009 11:00 PM EST
In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of crimes. Terrorists are not even entitled to the protection of the Geneva Conventions, much less the Constitution of the United States. Terrorists have never observed, nor even claimed to have observed, the Geneva Conventions, nor are they among those covered by it. But over and above the utter inconsistency of what is being done is the utter recklessness it represents. More>>>
The Rationing Commission: Meet the unelected body that will dictate future medical decisions
by

on Mon 16 Nov 2009 07:15 PM EST
As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine More>>> Sunday, November 15

The left and terror
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 09 Nov 2009 01:24 PM EST
The Jihadis will return. We know this, in the same way that we know about death and taxes. Thanks in large part to the weakening of our defensive efforts under the new administration, there will be further attacks against this country's population, perhaps even worse than those of 9/11. (This week's attack by Nidal Malik Hasan serves to underline the threat.) When this attack occurs, we will see an end to all the nonsense. Our present drift regarding terror policy is occurring only because Americans have been encouraged to put unpleasant realities at a distance, to live in a dream world where all the bad stuff happens to other people. 9/11 has ceased to signify. Terrorism has become a matter of bad manners. As my grandfather might have put it, this country is in for a rude awakening. But there is one thing that will not be addressed: the role of the American left. More>>> Sunday, November 8
Andrew Napolitano on "Health Care Reform": Kiss Your Freedoms Goodbye

When I recently asked Congressman James Clyburn, the third ranking Democrat in the House, to tell me "Where in the Constitution the federal government is authorized to regulate everyone's healthcare--, he replied that most of what Congress does is not authorized by the Constitution, but they do it anyway. There you have it. More>>> Wednesday, November 4
Election 2009: Change I Can Believe In!
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 04 Nov 2009 10:42 PM EST
The biggest loser was President Obama, who campaigned tirelessly for Corzine, even giving up golf on several occasions and skipping a quarter-million-dollar "date night" with Michelle to stump for the Democrat. Just two days before the election, Obama was at a rally in New Jersey assuring voters that Corzine was "one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together. ... Jon Corzine helped get this done." Except the problem is that voting for Obama a year ago was a fashion statement, much like it was once a fad to buy Beanie Babies, pet rocks and Cabbage Patch Kids. But instead of ending up with a ridiculous dust-collector at the bottom of your closet, the Obama fad leaves you with higher taxes, a reduced retirement fund, no job and a one-year wait for an MRI.

The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the GOP’s Soul
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 02 Nov 2009 09:17 AM EST
The withdrawal of Dede Scozzafava from the special election for Congress in upstate New York has predictably set off another wave of media-led hand-wringing about the health of the GOP. These stories are like crack for reporters, especially those with a hard-left slant. It is always framed as a battle between ‘conservatives’ and ‘moderates,’ but the focus is actually much narrower.

The web is ablaze with an excerpt of a speech given by Lord Christopher Monckton warning against the upcoming Copenhagen Climate agreement treaty which will, in effect, create a single world grovernment, that President Obama will sign in only a few weeks. Lord Monckton appeared with Glenn Beck on his program Friday for the entire hour. A very illuminating and entertaining program!

Truman and the Principles of U.S. Foreign Policy: Jimmy Carter rejected the postwar consensus. President Obama appears to be following a similar path
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 08:22 AM EDT
Upon entering office, Barack Obama knew little about foreign policy. But then neither did Vice President Harry S. Truman when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died suddenly on April 12, 1945. President Obama often invokes the supposed mess abroad—especially in Iraq and Afghanistan—left to him by George W. Bush. But Mr. Obama's inheritance is mild compared to the myriad crises that nearly overwhelmed the rookie President Truman. More>>>
ALERT: Private insurance premiums could TRIPLE under ObamaCare
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 03:38 AM EDT
In all of the 14 states WellPoint scrutinized, ObamaCare would drive up premiums for the small businesses and individuals who are most of WellPoint's customers. (Other big insurers, like Aetna, focus on the market among large businesses.) Young and healthy consumers will see the largest increases—their premiums would more than triple in some states—though average middle-class buyers will pay more too. Not even two hours after Wellpoint had presented its materials on the Hill, Democrats were already trashing it—which, considering that it runs to some 238 pages and took weeks to prepare, must have required remarkable powers of digestion and analysis.

I'll Pass on 'Opting Out'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 01:28 AM EDT
The Democrats' all-new "opt out" idea for health care reform is the latest fig leaf for a total government takeover of the health care system. Democrats tell us they've been trying to nationalize health care for 65 years, but the first anyone heard of the "opt out" provision was about a week ago. They keep changing the language so people can't figure out what's going on. The most important fact about the "opt out" scheme allegedly allowing states to decline government health insurance is that a state can't "opt out" of paying for it. All 50 states will pay for it. A state legislature can only opt out of allowing its own citizens to receive the benefits of a federal program they're paying for. More>>> Wednesday, October 28
Obama signs 'hate-crimes' bill into law: 'It's a very sad day for America and for religious liberties'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 28 Oct 2009 06:37 PM EDT
A "hate crimes" bill opponents claim will be used to crack down on Christian speech, even the reading of the Bible, was signed into law today by President Obama. The Senate approved the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act by a vote of 68-29 on Oct. 22 after Democrats strategically attached it to a "must-pass" $680 billion defense appropriations plan. The Alliance Defense Fund blasted the "hate-crimes" bill, calling it "another nail in the coffin of the First Amendment." "All violent crimes are hate crimes, and all crime victims deserve equal justice," ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley said in a statement. "This law is a grave threat to the First Amendment because it provides special penalties based on what people think, feel, or believe. ADF will be on the front line to defend those whose free speech or free exercise of religion rights are violated by this unconstitutional law and to ultimately overturn this attack on freedom."

Obama Not Comfortable With Women in Basketball, Golf ... or Anywhere Else
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 28 Oct 2009 06:29 PM EDT
President Obama drew heat last week for a story that surfaced outing his private White House male-only b-ball games. The story was that even though two female members of his cabinet were members of their college basketball teams, they were excluded, as were all women, from this most private of male-only clubs. The story became a metaphor for how the president views women generally and threatened to reveal some inconvenient truths about the man. More>>>
