Obama’s national security fraud

Andrew C. McCarthy is a highly accomplished former federal prosecutor and indisputably one of the most formidable legal minds of our time. On November 10^th, he persuasively made the case at National Review Online that President Obama has engaged in criminal fraud with his deliberately deceptive promises about Americans being able to retain their health insurance policies.

The Climate See-saw

Anyone who looks carefully at radiation science and the thermodynamics of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will come to the conclusion that carbon dioxide alone cannot cause a global warming crisis. Even sensible warmists know this.

Obama’s Promise of “Competition” in Obamacare: Also False

Here’s what the President said in 2009:

Gitmo Parting Gifts: Job Training & Islam Classes

In another triumph of idiocy, the Obama administration is negotiating with the Yemeni government to release Guantanamo Bay and Afghan terrorists to a "rehabilitation" facility to be constructed outside Yemen's capital city of Sana'a.

The Palestinians Have Always Avoided Statehood

The former Prime Minister of Israel, Golda Meir, once said, “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.” That day has not yet arrived.

Obama and Economic Suicide

Churchville, VA—President Obama is demanding, by Executive Order, what congress will not give him by vote. With winter approaching and the “ObamaCare” mess hanging over his shoulder, he is now ordering the U.S. economy to hitch itself to more and more of the costly and erratic “renewable” energy sources. These have already bankrupted Spain and are about to bankrupt Great Britain and Germany.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Democrats are eager to run on Obamacare's extreme popularity

The Naïveté of Libertarianism

Like any other "ism", Libertarianism works well at its optimum in a vacuum.

Thud: Only 50,000 have signed up through HealthCare.gov

Remember the premise that was supposed to justify ObamaCare. There were how many desperately lacking health insurance? 45 million? 47 million? So the government would create this whole new heath insurance apparatus, put it all online, offer subsidies, and all these people who so badly desired health insurance would rush to sign up. Huh? Remember that?

McAuliffe blasted Cuccinelli with 5,600 negative commercials on abortion and contraception

Virginia voters decided after much deliberation that they would rather be ruled by a sleazebag than a puritan. And if Ken Cuccinelli needed any more proof that he should have run for re–election as attorney general — something he promised initially — Tuesday’s election results should have provided it.

Humpty Dumpty Health Insurance

What kind of idiot would try to start a company, not necessarily a huge company, but ANY company by first lying about the costs of your product, then telling potential customers that they are going to get non-optional features attached to this new product. These are going to be features that the customer didn't ask for, and doesn't want, and won't use.

… And Smoking, Too

The circumstances that caused my friend Randy Jackson to quit smoking at age twelve weren’t a blessing, although the result was.

The Climate Charlatans Gather in Warsaw

Back in 1997, the United Nations held a convention in Kyoto, Japan, that put together the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It was a treaty that required the nations that agreed to it to reduce “greenhouse gas” emissions, principally carbon dioxide (CO2) in order to save Earth from the perils of “global warming.” There were 192 parties to the convention and, although the U.S. “signed” the treaty, the U.S. Senate unanimously defeated participation. By 2011, our neighbor, Canada, withdrew from it.

Raise the Mimimum Wage to $90.63 an Hour

One might ask how I came up with the figure of $90.63 for the minimum wage which is a fair question for which I believe I have a reasonable answer.

Edward Snowden’s Communist and Terrorist Friends

A fascinating aspect of the Edward Snowden affair, demonstrating his close collaboration with anti-American forces worldwide, has just come to the attention of the media. Contained in several stories about one of his meetings in Moscow was the name of his key German contact, a member of the German Green Party, Hans Christian Ströbele, who is also a member of the German Parliament. Buried in some of these accounts is the fact that Ströbele is a prominent German lawyer who represented the communist terrorist group, the Baader-Meinhof Gang—also known as the Red Army Faction (RAF).

U.S. going way too easy on Iran, say . . . French socialists?

You think it's just Benjamin Netanyahu who is horrified at the easy deal the Obama Administration is prepared to give Iran over nuclear weapons? Well, it is him, but not only him. Far from it. How bad have things gotten when the socialist government of France thinks you're being a patsy?
