Don't Be Fooled! BHO's Offshore Drilling talk more about headlines and actually cancels & slows things down! The President's plan actually pushes back offshore drilling until at least 2012 and blocks drilling in the Pacific Ocean and parts of the Atlantic. He also leaves off limits those portions of the Gulf of Mexico where experts believe there is the most oil and gas.
Republicans drop talk of repeal, refocus on Obama health law's impact on jobs and financial cost to businesses -- Following an initially fractured response to the passage of President Obama’s health bill, the GOP is moving its message away from trying to repealing the bill and toward focusing on the law’s impact on businesses and jobs. The party has been helped by new polls showing continued public disapproval of the law, and by a deluge of announcements from major U.S. corporations about its financial cost
Via The Heritage Foundation: Thanks to Obamacare, starting in January, Americans will no longer be able to tap their Flexible Spending Accounts to cover aspirin, vitamins and other over-the-counter medications, unless they are prescribed by a doctor.
How to Stave Off Economic Recovery: What a pity the late Milton Friedman isn't around to explain with characteristic snap and crackle that the great engine of economic progress is the expectation of profit.
Obama: Outright Evil, or Simply Wrong? - Is demonizing BHO, even if correct, the wrong way to go? [ JS - This post really deserves reading. I’m not sure that I agree with it but the truth is probably somewhere in between.]
Obama's Goal: Regime Change (in Israel):
Why is President Obama so obviously humiliating Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu? Why is Secretary of State Clinton negating everything she said when she represented New York state and piling on the Jewish state?…
And ultimately, the administration agenda may be to explain its withdrawal of support for Israel by blaming its stubborn insistence on housing construction. One can well see the Obama administration learning to live with an Iranian nuclear weapon while blaming Israel for fomenting Iranian hostility by building housing.
All the while, through American aid to Gaza, the Obama administration is helping Hamas to solidify its position in Gaza and lengthen its lease on political power -- the very power it is using to torpedo the peace process.
2nd Amendment:
…Now, what about gun control laws? It is said that the strictest gun control laws are in Washington D.C. You'd think that because of those laws the city would be very safe but according to Rachel Cooper on about.com, there has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths.
That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq. (2)
That was posted on March 12, 2008 and is a chilling look as to what the gun control laws are NOT controlling. If we look at a state like South Dakota, which is thought to have lenient gun control laws and has a gun ownership rate of about 55% (3), we see that the states average murder rate of 3.2 people (per 100,000) or about 26 people per year.(4).
Those facts were taken in 2008 and are surprising and borderline shocking in comparison to the facts about Washington D.C.’s firearm death rate. Read more…
