Quick Quips – 12/30/09

SHAME! Sun Sentinel lies: "Most annoying? Tea partiers top the list" when BHO actually top of the list! http://ow.ly/Ra0G

The Price for Fannie and Freddie Keeps Going Up – by Peter Wallison at the WSJ: Barney Frank's decision to 'roll the dice' on subsidized housing is becoming an epic disaster for taxpayers.

"Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion all have a double aspect – freedom of thought and freedom of action."
-- Frank Murphy (1890-1959) U. S. Supreme Court Justice

The Biggest Lesson of '09 - elections matter, and the Biggest Opportunity of 2010 - vote! http://ow.ly/R9vu

The "Stimulus" Picture Crumbled – By Brent Bozell at townhall.com: … Ronald Reagan's economic recovery program generated the greatest peacetime expansion in history. That is fact. To this day, the "news" media report it as a failure. Obama's economic program thus far has been a disaster. That is fact. To this day, the "news" media "report" it as a "recovery." George Orwell would be proud.

Obama and Our Post-Modern Race Problem – by Shelby Steele at The WSJ: The president always knew that his greatest appeal was not as a leader but as a cultural symbol… America's primary race problem today is our new "sophistication" around racial matters. Political correctness is a compendium of sophistications in which we join ourselves to obvious falsehoods ("diversity") and refuse to see obvious realities (the irrelevance of diversity to minority development). I would argue further that Barack Obama's election to the presidency of the United States was essentially an American sophistication, a national exercise in seeing what was not there and a refusal to see what was there—all to escape the stigma not of stupidity but of racism.

*** New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson and California GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are leveling sharp criticism at the Senate health care bill, warning that under that version their states will be crushed by billions in new costs.

*** Calling it a tax on living Florida Attorney General William McCollum is pledging to fight the constitutionality Obamacare’s individual mandate in court.

*** Thanks to millions spent in lobbying, trial lawyers are one of the few interest groups who do not have to sacrifice anything under Obamacare.

*** Democrats in Congress are attempting to blame Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) for the lack of a Transportation Security Administration leader despite the fact that it was the Obama administration that waited until September to even nominate someone.
