Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon unravels the Obamacare debacle and questions the role of the IRS. The IRS has announced it will postpone the start date of Obamacare’s “employer mandate” from 2014 to 2015.

Obamacare Perhaps Best Represents an Unprecedented Intrusion into the Lives of Americans
Following the French Revolution, the left made such a hash of the country that the fallout remains to this day. Thomas Sowell lays out both the history and the wrong course for America today programmed by the left. Some of the most sweeping and spectacular rhetoric of the Left occurred in 18th-century France, where the […]
A 4th of July Message from One of Our Country’s Better Presidents, Calvin Coolidge
From President Calvin Coolidge’s “Address at the Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence” in Philadelphia, July 5, 1926: It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded […]
Clinging to Our Fossil Fuels Past Plays to the Strengths of Russia and Iran
Thomas Friedman is on the money here. I have been writing about the case for American leadership in renewable energy. Mr. Friedman offers support. But I would not get caught up in the anti-carbon pollution details of the president’s speech. I’d focus on the larger messages. The first is that we need to reorder our […]
Getting the Government Involved with the National Epidemic of Fat Folk Is Not the Answer
Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner has some cogent thoughts on the issue here. From my perspective, I would suggest that you order a copy of Why We Get Fat by my highly favored science writer Gary Taubes. You will find that the teeter-totter linking of HDL and Triglycerides (pgs. 188-190) holds the key, especially for women. […]
Obama Approval Rating Collapses to Shocking New Record Low!
A never-ending cascade of cover-ups, outright lies and deceptions has finally registered with Americans. The Obama administration can neither be trusted nor believed. It is just that simple. Ed Carson at Investors Business Daily outlines the results of a poll conducted by that organization that found record low disapproval of the President. President Obama’s approval […]
John Boehner Is Not the Guy to Lead House Republicans
States’ rights Republicans are better served with one of their own in the leadership position. Having to fight day to day with a political animal like Boehner is counter productive to the cause of bringing back a strong constitutional federal republic form of government intended by our Founders. Jonathan Strong outlines Boehner’s fuzziness on the […]

Survive with Liquid Armor Nanotechnology
Kevlar body armor can stop a bullet but it will not stop a knife strike, especially from a 230 pound thug. Kevlar treated with BAE Systems’ liquid armor will stop both and weigh half as much. Check it out: From BAE Systems: We can engineer amazing things… Technologists have harnessed the power of an ‘intelligent’ […]
NSA and IRS Lying to Congress
Who is going to pay the price? Remenber the big Gulf of Tonkin lie, Lyndon Johnson (high on my all-time worst presidents list) and the Vietnam War debacle? Cato Institute’s Gene Healy helps set you straight. Deep State also recounts how the NSA “covered up its role in mistakenly reporting that two U.S ships had […]
