Atlas Shrugs: I have reported on many occasions on the number of death threats Rifqa Bary has been receiving from Muslims bent on enforcing the death penalty for apostasy. I spent some time last night with a former Muslim and now a believer in Christ. Safeyia was a young, lovely woman, much like Rifqa, who [...]

Jules Cirttenden: No cruel eenie-meenie-miney-moe jokes, please. I don’t want to be so cynical as to suggest that in neat increments of 5,000 to 10,000, the president’s precision decision-making process smacks of micromanagement, a desire to show he’s no sap for generals, or some effort to please everyone. Clearly they’ve put a lot of thought [...]

From the Telegraph: It could do him good to show he has a bit of fire in his belly. Perhaps he might make a decision or two based on gut instinct and deep conviction. In other words, maybe he should try being a bit more like Mr Bush.

Power Line: Back in our far-left days, we used to claim that there was no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. (“Don’t play good imperialist/bad imperialist” was one mantra.) That was stupid. Today, there are some on the right who say there is little or no difference between the parties–you hear this, [...]

Just one example: Now, for all its innumerable faults the House bill does not include the language being pushed by Hatch and his pals, but if you wanted a reminder of the way that Washington’s increased involvement in health care will inevitably put politics, lobbying, and the whims of powerful politicians ahead of medicine, Orrin [...]

So we learn, not from any American news outlet, but from across the pond at the Telegraph: The London Telegraph has the bombshell report on Ft.

As he thinks about reading the entire Government-Run Health Care bill in the Senate: Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who developed a close friendship with President Obama when they served together in the Senate, is threatening to have the entire health care bill read on the Senate floor. Love it.

Real sweethearts: As all the constituents did, Teri went through security, camera in hand and in full view, then proceeded to Congressman Gerry Connolly’s office. Once in the office she filled out the visitors form, pulled out her camera and began asking for Rep. Connolly or a staffer to discuss the representatives position on the [...]

Jerry Pournelle: Unemployment is over 10%. It wasn’t supposed to get that high. TARP was supposed to fix that. . . . If the health care bill passes, it will fundamentally convert these United States into a different kind of popular democracy, which generally means rule by a unionized bureaucracy organized to vote. Once that [...]

Glenn Reynolds: IF WE DON’T GET NATIONAL HEALTHCARE, THE TERRORISTS WILL HAVE WON! Participants also said Obama had referred to this week’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are “what sacrifice really is,” as opposed to [...]
