Morning Briefing
For October 24, 2013

1. My Fear
I once had a person leave a message on my
home answering machine telling me how he was going to come to my house,
tie me up, cut off my eye lids, and force me to watch as he raped and
murdered my family.
Another person once emailed a very similar tale.
One time after I’d made a bunch of liberals
mad while I was out of town, someone pulled into our driveway in the
dead of night and just sat there after having circled past the house a
few times. The police had to stay overnight in the cul-de-sac.
Memorial
Day weekend last year someone called 911 claiming to be me. He said he,
meaning me, had killed my wife and would kill the neighbors unless the
police came to stop me. The police rolled into the driveway, blocked the
street, and had me surrounded to figure out what happened. Luckily the
police officer who saw me first recognized me from television.
More
than once in the past two years, standing on a street corner in
Washington waiting for a cab, liberals have recognized me and yelled or
otherwise harassed me for destroying the country. Now I just use Uber.
At my old house, the neighbor, who’d been a
great neighbor for eight years until he saw Keith Olbermann name me the
worst person in the world or some such, began heckling me and my kids
when we’d play in the front yard.
People
ask me all the time if I fear the people who do these things. My answer
is always no. I feel sorry for people so wrapped up in politics they
have to make a jackass of themselves on a street corner to someone they
don’t know or show up in a drive way to look menacing. I certainly worry
for my family when I’m out of town. But I don’t fear these people. I
feel sorry for them.

3. The Military Has A Term (or Acronym) To Describe The ObamaCare Rollout: FUBAR
With
the White House now hinting agreement with the Republicans who called
for a delay in penalizing individuals under the ObamaCare mandate, the
disastrous rollout of Barack Obama’s singular signature piece of
legislation passed during his presidency can be summed up in one
military term (or acronym): FUBAR*.
Notwithstanding the fact that the mainstream
media has been near-unanimously stuck on declaring that healthcare.gov’s
problems were caused by a mere “glitch,” everything about ObamaCare’s
rollout, thus far, has proved to be a disaster of epic proportions. It
has lived down to the most dire warnings of becoming a “third-world
experience.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. ENDA: Another Assault On Liberty
If
the road to hell is paved with good intentions there is a superhighway
under construction in the Congress. Periodically, Congress, acting as
the national scold, steps into the breach and attempts to make all the
kids on the playground like each other. Rarely do these attempts work
out as well in practice as they do on paper.
The
laudable goal of removing racial discrimination in hiring had led to
the travesty of affirmative action which has spawned not only a
grievance based industry but has actually been harmful. Incredibly, this
session of the Supreme Court saw a case argued which effectively
asserted that it was racially discriminatory to not use race as a
factor. So much for the whole “quality of his character” nonsense. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. I Absolutely Support Chris McDaniel Over Thad Cochran
He didn’t say “God d*mn America” or accuse the CIA of giving AIDS to black men. That’d be the President’s preacher.
He didn’t plan to blow up cops. That’d be the President’s friend Bill Ayers.
He didn’t even attend a Klan rally. That’d be the left’s patron saint, Margaret Sanger.
He didn’t show up in black face either.
Chris
McDaniel is running for the United States Senate in Mississippi
challenging appropriator Thad Cochran in the Republican primary. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
6. Can We at Least End Fourth-Party Payer in Healthcare?
Like
every other major federal intervention into the private economy,
Obamacare was foisted upon us under the guise of solving a crisis. In
this case, they proposed a complete government takeover of healthcare
for all Americans – all for the supposed goal of covering those who are
uninsured. Never
mind that even after Obamacare is implemented and destroys the market
for those who are already insured there will still be at least 30
million uninsured. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
