Republicans Begin Laying Ground Work to Walk Away From Obamacare Opposition
Conservative and Republican affiliated groups have started the
2014 assault against Democrats who support Obamacare. At the very same
time, it is increasingly clear Republicans are laying the groundwork to
abandon their opposition to Obamacare. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
You Need Ben Sasse in the Senate
Right now you need to go to Ben Sasse’s website and give him every penny you can muster.
National Review has declared him the next big thing. He’s
considered an intellectual heavyweight on healthcare. He is opposed to
Obamacare and pledges to fight for its full repeal. He is a committed,
pro-life conservative.
But because he is being supported by conservatives, including the
Jim DeMint created Senate Conservatives Fund, the Republican Leaders in
Washington, and their affiliated lobbyists, have begun helping his
opponent. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Obama on Iran: Give Peace A Chance
When President Obama says “give peace a chance”, in light of his
well-established foreign policy timidity and on top of that, the recent
revelations about his partisan and selfish thinking on Iraq and
Afghanistan as revealed by Robert Gates, one has to wonder. Is his
priority in dealing with Iran protecting American lives and interests?
Or is it just protecting his political legacy. For a child of the 60s
peace movement, being the President who let Iran get nukes would be far
less of a black mark than being a President who went to war. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The Great GOP Establishment Amnesty Swindle
Something peculiar is happening on the immigration front in Washington. With
an eerie resemblance to the drumbeat leading up to Obamacare,
Republican leaders are creating a sense of urgency that immigration must
be addressed now. And
much like Obamacare is doing to our already-broken healthcare system,
their proposals will exacerbate the very factors that have broken our
immigration system over the past few decades.
However, GOP leaders know that their party base is not buying
their sense of urgency, their understanding of why our immigration
system is broken, and their solution to “fixing” it. And
unlike Democrats who seek to empower and energize their base to fight
Republicans, GOP leaders are planning to bamboozle the base into
supporting them in 2014, only to drop the hammer on them a year later. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The Google Trap
If you are not really into technology, you probably do not care
that a company called Nest has been purchased by Google. I had been on
the verge of installing a Nest thermostat in my house. Last week I
determined it was compatible with my existing system and off to Lowe’s I
intended to go.
But I do not think I will now. I, like many, have become more and
more concerned about Google and its disregard for my privacy. But what
is more striking is how difficult Google can be in the labyrinthine
bureaucracy of a massive corporation. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
