According to several sources including Bloomberg, the socialists in congress appear to be trying to slip a huge chunk of socialized medicine past us, wrapped up in this behemoth porkulus spending bill. Dr. Theo talked about this yesterday, but the ominous implications run wide and deep.  Supporters of the “stimulus” bill are saying this is [...]

A number of socialist readers have questioned material posted at Dakota Voice over the past few days which calls out the “porkulus” stimulus bill for what it is: a huge bloated porker.

Barack Obama promised during his campaign to “clean up both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue” with “the most sweeping ethics reform in history.” Shades of Bill Clinton’s promise of “the most ethical administration in history.” Well, from the early evidence, we’re in for the same cynical, sordid and utterly deceitful results we got from the previous [...]

This stunning “question” came from a lady to President Barack Obama yesterday at a town hall meeting in Florida: “I have an urgent need, unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in.

American Minute from William J. Federer  On FEBRUARY 11, 1861, newly elected President Abraham Lincoln left Springfield, Illinois for Washington-never to return. In his Farewell Speech he said: “I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance [...]

In his Stoplight® commentary, Stuart Shepard wonders aloud how some members of the media got into the presidential news conference.  We’ve known for the last year or more that the “mainstream” “objective” media was in love with Barack Obama.   But as Shepard points out, some of the juvenile questions that can come from the [...]

A group of federal judges ruled yesterday that California must release up to 57,000 criminals from their prisons.  It seems the little darlings in prison have it too rough (though I wonder if they have it more rough than field conditions for our soldiers). From CNS News: “There are simply too many prisoners for the [...]

“The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care, from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force combined .”

No, this isn’t Senator Arlen Specter, but rather James Bond’s arch enemy Blofeld.  But if this bloated pork-ridden, mind-boggling chunk of debt known as the “stimulus” bill is bad for America and freedom (and I believe it is), then perhaps Specter and SPECTRE have something in common. Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham took Senator [...]
