HR 2300: Yes, there is a Republican plan to replace ObamaCare

ObamaCare continues to come apart at the seams, as the administration announced last week that it is delaying implementation of the odious employer mandate – although not the individual mandate – by one year. The employer mandate is now set to go into effect in 2015, while the individual mandate will still go into effect in 2014 as originally scheduled.

Economy stagnant because Obama is hostile to business

It turns out, since the government tends to go back and revise these things, that economic growth in the first quarter of this year was even worse than the paltry 2.4 percent they originally announced. It was only 1.8 percent.

Of course: 41 percent of small businesses freeze hiring because of ObamaCare

Here’s today’s least surprising piece of news. A Gallup poll shows that 41 percent of small businesses say they’ve frozen hiring because of ObamaCare.

We need fathers more than ever

It came to my attention recently that the White House web site posted a page with information about our nation’s founders, and it referred to these men as the “Founding Founders.”

Our new tax code: Pick one!

It is way past time to stop talking about replacing the tax code, and to start talking about what to replace it with. The political class has not gotten past the word "reform" yet, but we the working class can't wait for them to see the light. We must make them feel the heat and they will see the light.

Clearly, abuse of power is Obama policy

Why would the Obama White House have invited erstwhile IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 157 times during his tenure, which is far more than anyone else – including top cabinet members? Considering the claim of Obama apologists that the president couldn’t possibly know what the IRS is up to, what with the government being so large and all, it sure seems like the White House made a priority of keeping tabs on this agency’s activities.

The president who doesn’t know; the government that can’t be managed

A self-serving politician’s first instinct when scandal arises is to assert he knew nothing about what was going on. Barack Obama is about as self-serving as they come, so it’s no surprise he’s making an art form out of the claim that he hears about these things on the news, just as we’re hearing about them.

Morehouse Obama disproves Ohio State Obama’s call to trust government

Three weeks ago, President Obama went to the Ohio State University to give the commencement address, and there he urged citizens to reject cynicism about government. In particular, he said this:

Meet Frank VanderSloot: Big Romney donor, big IRS target

You should probably not even know who Frank VanderSloot is. Not that he isn’t an impressive American. He leads a successful company and he’s earned tremendous respect in the business community. But usually a man like that is not a household name.

Expose Obama’s abuse, then de-fang the IRS

It’s no small matter that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting conservative groups for heightened scrutiny. The power to tax is the power to destroy, and there are few limits to what the IRS can do when exercising its taxation power.

Oil boom in North Dakota!

Remember all that talk about how we had to immediately wean ourselves off oil and start using alternative energy because we were going to run out of fossil fuels?

Air traffic madness: Intentional deception of the public

How far have we fallen when the president of the United States is intentionally sabotaging operations of the federal government for the purpose of putting the hurt on the American people – and he’s not being roundly condemned for it?

Boston shows the true nature of the American people

It could be a long time before we know anything of substance about why Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev decided to wreak terror on the Boston Marathon. Or it may be that there’s nothing more to know – that they were simply a couple of angry losers caught up in a movement that fueled their rage, and they just decided to hurt people in a big, attention-getting way.

I’m organizing a posse

My activities are starting to hit the news, so you might as well hear about it here first. CNN reports:

Job creators fight back against Washington propaganda

A recent event I attended demonstrated the power of free enterprise and job creators, and also demonstrated the danger this nation will face if we don’t fight back against policies that threaten this amazing system.

Obama’s 10-year budget: Even better fiction than your favorite TV drama

He’s two months late, and he’s considerably more than a dollar short, but President Obama will propose a budget in the coming days. He’s proposed one every year he’s been in office. Constitutionally, he’s required to – not that this is a major concern when it comes to the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the 10th Amendment . . . well, I think you get the idea.

Sen. Ron Johnson presents Victims of Government

We often talk in general terms about the impact of government regulations, but it really hits home when you see what happens to individuals who get caught in this web. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin sent me this, and I want you to see it. He wrote the copy below the video too.

Medical device tax: Democrats pass a repeal, but it’s not yet for real

Just when you think there’s no point in advocating for better policies in this nation, something happens that reminds you the will of the people can win out – if the people have the right information and advocate for the right things.

Cyprus wealth confiscation scheme: It could happen here

People who have deposited funds in banks in Cyprus just narrowly escaped a bank robbery of epic proportions – not at the hands of masked robbers, but at the hands of the Cypriot government and the European Central Bank, which together were looking to perpetrate the worst kind of bailout.

The ABCs of prosperity

I talked at length on my radio show recently about the fact that President Obama’s economic growth record is abysmal compared with recent presidents who enacted low-tax, growth-friendly policies. From John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, we saw double-digit multiyear growth on a per-term basis as a result of policies that sought to unleash the private sector rather than empowering government.
