Elena Kagan: A Transnational Judicial Philosophy?

Elena Kagan, President Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, has very little to commend her in terms of her written opinions. The big complaint seems to be that she has written very few articles or papers that showcase her judicial philosophy. However, based on what she has said, it is very possible that she [...]

Health Care Push

Well, as seems to be the case more frequently among liberals, the nanny-state, in this case, the Obama White House and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate, plan to ignore public sentiment and push through the latest variation of health care reform by the end of next week. Family Research Council listed all of the Democrats who [...]

Obama White House Claims to Be Tough on Terrorism

I know I don’t usually deal with issues outside of bioethics, abortion and so forth but I was really annoyed with, yet again, the unbelievable spin this White House engages in. I don’t want to put words in anyone’s mouth but clearly statements coming out of the White House seem to indicate staff there believe [...]

The handling of health care reform and opposition to it by liberal Democratic leaders has been offensive to many Americans. For a large number of attendees, this was the first time they [...]

Wilson's Outburst

I think Rep. Wilson could have picked a more appropriate place to make his feelings known last night but I don’t believe he was wrong about the coverage of illegal aliens just as I don’t think Obama was truthful about abortion coverage. Why? Because Barack Obama said so in his speech before Planned Parenthood in 2007. He [...]

President Claims that Health Care Reform Will Not Use Federal Dollars to Pay for Abortions

Well no one said that it would exclusively be federal money paying for abortion on demand. No, never that. No, our government would just require coverage of abortion on demand in any health care insurance or health care plans.  Read the president’s speech to see what he said and then read the FactCheck.org evaluation of the bill and [...]

Obama's Health Care Speech

You can watch his speech here. I’m still working on uploading video through WordPress so I can’t pull a feed and post it just yet. I also apologize for providing a MSNBC feed.
