Last night as I put the elder Virtus child to bed, we looked at her stack of four Berenstain Bear books. In a rare display of 3-year-old magnanimity, she told me, "Daddy, you pick the story." So I picked up the copy of Old Hat, New Hat and delightfully suggested, "Let's read this one." A bare second passed before little pale fingers reached instead for Bears in the Night, as she insisted, "No, let's read this one." And so, naturally, we discarded all talk of headwear and instead followed the little bears through the dark up Spook Hill to the hooting owl and back. Before we began the story, however, the thought struck me: The scenario was an apt metaphor for the Obama Care "public option" ... "Why yes, Mr. DeGrow, you can choose from … [Read more...]
Ryan Frazier’s “New Generation of Leadership” Merits Closer Consideration
Washington Times political reporter Jennifer Harper, writing from "Inside the Beltway", takes notice of Colorado's own Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ryan Frazier as "a man to watch" (something we here at home already knew):While Republicans dither over party identity, one of their own has stepped forward and cut to the chase with a clear take on what matters and what works in a complicated political landscape. "There is a better, more responsible way. It's called the American way," Ryan Frazier tells Inside the Beltway. Frazier -- who was about the only candidate approaching a clear-cut victory in the largely murky results of recent July survey of 600 Colorado online participants -- also conducted an interview with Newsmax TV. … [Read more...]
New I.I. Video Exposes Another Danger of Obama-Style Health Reform
My employer, the Independence Institute, has released another great video. Find out in less than 90 seconds why Obama Care is like a game show you don't want to be a contestant on: I suppose introducing this video to you makes me "un-American" ... … [Read more...]
Obama Care Astroturfing
The Left has grown so mixed up in its own deceit and self-delusion -- as they try to distract from the substance of Obama Care's open door to socialized medicine and government rationing -- it's hard to know where to begin. How about trying to drive the meme that citizen protests against Obama Care are overwhelmingly corporate "astroturfing" (a phony grassroots movement). There are so many clear, pointed refutations I've come across that it seemed easier just to point them out to you here in a quick list format. If you can following the links, read all these and still continue to believe that the pro-liberty, anti-Obama Care crowd is guilty of "astroturfing" as much or more than the Left (show me the evidence), well, we won't mistakenly … [Read more...]
Complete Colorado: 200-300 Show Up to Ed Perlmutter Townhall Meeting
Update, 10:30 PM: People's Press Collective has released its first coverage (with plenty of telling photos) of the meeting in Brighton: Perlmutter "immediately went into a roped-off area of the portico, announced he’d be there for two hours, and then retreated to the even more isolated alcove with a half-dozen (apparent) constituents and bodyguards. At which point he was taunted by the non-Democrats in the crowd for being a coward for hiding in the portico — and yes, it was blatantly obvious that that is what he was doing: isolating himself in a controllable space so as to avoid having to interact with the crowd directly. While the crowd was vocal (on both sides) for the first 45 minutes or so, there were no obvious altercations, nor … [Read more...]
Sign of Obama Care Desperation: SEIU Thugs Dispatched to Townhall Events
Update: It's not the SEIU, but I just received an email from the AFL-CIO with the heading "Right-Wing Mobs in Brighton", saying "All across the country, a small group of radical right-wingers are intent on disrupting congressional town hall meetings in an all-out effort to stop real health care reform. We need your help now to make sure our voices are heard over the unruly mob." Only my fellow, freedom-loving citizens in Colorado's 7th Congressional District can help fulfill their expectations. Though we also can show them who is vocal but civil. You didn't think the Left was going to let members of Congress sit down and listen quietly to the very serious concerns of their constituents about the proposed government health care takeover … [Read more...]
Memo to My Fellow Mob: Stay Strong and Respectful Against Obama Care
Updated and brought to the top of the fold: Iowahawk makes the point much more effectively and much more humorously than I have. Please read ... and per usual, be sure to keep the liquids clear of the keyboard. [Update at bottom] A growing segment of the American public is angry and awakened about the Obama administration's sly attempt to socialize our nation's health care system. They're showing up to Congressional townhall meetings and expressing their displeasure. I am amused to watch the Left's increasingly unhinged reaction. The irony is so very rich, it's hard to capture it all. First, there's the Democratic National Committee going on the offensive calling you part of an orchestrated "mob" if you stand up vocally against … [Read more...]
White House Lost in Alternate Reality about Public Views on Obama Care
The Left's desperation on the health care debate clearly extends all the way to the White House. Not just asking for informants, but creating an alternate reality. A source forwarded me an email she received from "info@barackobama.com" that sets the stage as follows: … [Read more...]
Reporting Presidential Disinformation on Health Care and Cap-and-Tax
From Red State, the uncut video showing what Obama wants to do to your private health insurance: Does this qualify as "disinformation" from the President's own lips? Someone should report him, or me, to the White House. Makes you wonder if the White House is also going to start collecting reports of "disinformation" on the cap-and-trade energy tax issue, too. After all, the Washington Times reports that a new study from the U.S. Department of Energy refutes The One's claims that cap-and-tax "holds the promise of millions of new jobs -- jobs, by the way, that can't be outsourced." ... Is that something fishy I smell? Someone may have to report the U.S. Department of Energy, too. … [Read more...]
Just Say My Humble Site is on the White House Obama Care “Fishy” List…
So the White House wants to know if any of your friends or neighbors are resisting the party line on Obama Care:There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. Jon Henke follows up with the logical question: "What, exactly, does the White House plan to do with this information?" An excellent question that hopefully gets answered … [Read more...]
