Why Take a Bite When You Can Try to Swallow the Whole Cake?

If they had played it cool, President Obama and his congressional teammates might be celebrating Democraticare’s passage with a ceremonial ice cream social right now.  But we’re lucky they’ve become insufferably extreme to the point that they think a self-immolating process like reconciliation sounds wise.  Call Nancy Pelosi and beg her to go for it: she’ll [...]

Health Care is Only Well to a Point

Imagine if California’s health consumers were allowed to buy insurance from whatever company they wanted.  Picture if they could assume the risks of their choosing, too, or a scenario under which they were actually made aware of how much an appointment or procedure costs and accordingly used resources judiciously.  Then dream about eating a jar [...]

The Democratic Majority?

By: Laura Adelmann
The Democrats have been in control of both Congress and had the Presidency for about a year now and it’s amazing what they’ve done with the place. You’d think they’d be sitting pretty on a big pile of legislative accomplishments, but oddly they seem to be stalling. The honeymoon only lasted a few [...]

Evil Health Insurers Help Us While Making a Living

The dullest scoundrel in human history is still a scoundrel.  Harry Reid wouldn’t exactly serve as a worthwhile James Bond foil.  Still, he worked as hard as a sluggish bore could to ruin Christmas for all by stuffing through a health care bill hated by conservatives, libertarians, and leftists.  Worst, he’s still limply directing the [...]

The Healthcare Morass

By: Laura Adelmann
With the public option seemingly off the table, Harry Reid and Senate Democrats had to look for another idea to sway votes for the healthcare bill. Their latest offering? Expand Medicare to allow a buy in for those between the ages of 55 and 64. This Medicare option now appears to be off [...]

Not Buying What They’re Forcibly Selling

Laws should be enacted using the Hippocratic Oath as a guide: those who do no harm should be legally in the clear.  But Congress is sadly attempting the inverse.  We currently face a loss of autonomy when it comes to, cruelly, medical decisions.  Making it mandatory to buy something is fundamentally antithetical to our belief [...]

Reforming the Definition of “Reform”

Thinking about quasi-socialized medicine is naturally depressing: even graphs pertaining to the government’s attempt at commandeering the health system look sad.  The frowny-shaped negative projections made for every permutation of Democraticare sum up general feelings regarding the Cuban emulation of health delivery.  The charts would make Nancy Pelosi pout if she were capable of such [...]

In Technical Terms, Obamacare Would be Really Awful

It will cost approximately every dollar every printed while ultimately putting people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in charge of your physical condition.  There are an overwhelming number of minutiae-based arguments against any health care plan endorsed by our president or his party buddies.  But the opposing case boils down to a single clear [...]

I miss the leadership of Martin Luther King as liberals continue to call us racists

By SGP member Kathy B.
The “Racist” name calling is escalating. The left has no other way to change the conversation other than by sinking to sewer politics and racial divides by calling us racists. I have had many discussions with liberals who ask me to deny that opposition to Obama is rooted in racism. Of [...]

What a difference a Marxist makes.

By Russ Cote

The hypocrisy isn’t new. The equation of terrorism to talk radio isn’t new. What seems new is an increasingly disturbing sense of entitlement amongst, mostly, Democratic lawmakers. The genesis of this sense of entitlement is beyond the scope of this article, but it seems to me to be a combination of the general leftward shift in political class thinking toward soft tyranny and the election of Barack Obama. I’m not saying Obama is to blame-lord knows Harry Reid, . .
