I was trained and qualified on the prototype of the Enterprise reactors. I spent about three months at Yankee Station in the South China Sea. I got…

We have a perfect exemplar of the left commenting at Classical Values. He is excellent at showing the true colors of the socialists.

From the It Is Worse Than We Thought Dept. The Obamacare insurance marketplace is even more vulnerable to security breaches since the administration “fixed” Healthcare.gov, according to a cyber security expert. Health and Human Services (HHS) released a progress report on Sunday following its self-imposed Nov. 30 deadline to repair the website, saying that the…

“Professional liberals are too arrogant to compromise. In my experience, they were also very unpleasant people on a personal level. Behind their slogans about saving the world and sharing the wealth with the common man lurked a nasty hunger for power. They’d double-cross their own mothers to get it or keep it.” – Harry S…

  Socialism’s inherent ‘virtue’ is the equal sharing of miseries – Winston Churchill  

I was looking up quotes from Lawrence Of Arabia and found this one particularly apt. T.E. Lawrence: There may be honor among thieves, but there’s none in politicians.

Commenter Frank at It Will Only Get Worse suggested the below video. Frank suggests starting at about 11:00 in to learn about Obama. However, even more important is the question at 21:00 in, “Is Communism Reversible?”. The interviewer (Glasov) is pessimistic. Horowitz is optimistic. You can see part one of the interview at Front Page.…

Sarah Palin gives a shout out to libertarians I went looking for the Palin clip after watching the video here: The Libertarians Are Coming. When McCain added Palin to his team I became an enthusiastic Republican again. These days I’m more of a TEA Party libertarian. The atheist wing of the TEA Party. Despite the…

Welcome to the police state. Check your rights at the door. “They just pulled us out of the car. Put our hands behind our backs like we were criminals,” said Emmanuel Hurd. “He asked me who’s the girl. She’s my student. I said I had a notarized letter from her parents stating that we have…

From Mark Steyn: A couple of weeks back, cancer patient Bill Elliot, in a defiant appearance on Fox News, discussed the cancelation of his insurance and what he intended to do about it. He’s now being audited. Insurance agent C Steven Tucker, who quaintly insists that the whimsies of the hyper-regulatory bureaucracy do not trump…

Seriously. So says David Plouffe, who was 0bama’s campaign manager in 2008. You can read about it here. In so far as the www site goes it doesn’t work at all now. At least it didn’t for CNN in a test on 1 December 2013. You can watch the test at the above link. My…

There is a Joe from HuffPo who says you do not need to be worried about hackers at the ObamaCare(less) site because hacking happens all the time. So true. OK. Suppose the government loses your Social Security number to hackers. Will they do what credit card companies do and issue you a new one? How…

Obama and his minions are touting the number of people enrolled in 0bamaCare(less). But that is not the relevant metric. The relevant metric is the number of people who have obtained insurance. Some people (no metric on how many) are not getting insurance. ACOSTA: Does that mean that people who thought they were insured when…

From Evi L. Bloggerlady we get: Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday in light of President Barack Obama’s declining poll numbers, maybe he should take a page from an infamous Canadian mayor. “I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are…
