Democrat logic: We hate insurance companies so...
One of the main tactics Democrats used to pass their health care takeover was the demonization of the entire health insurance industry. It was beyond gross and creepy seeing elected representatives, particularly the President of the United States, attacking private businesses in their quest for more power and government expansion. Nancy Pelosi went as far as calling health insurance companies the...
Ruthless communist dictator applauds ObamaCare
It speaks volumes. Castro urges Obama to now tackle amnesty and global warming. How very…Democrat of him.
Missouri to be 14th state to sue over ObamaCare
The war against the individual mandate grows. Statement from Lt. Governor Kinder, via Dana Loesch:
This morning, President Obama signed into law a federal healthcare mandate that was thrust upon us despite overwhelming opposition from Americans. Over the past few weeks, Missourians have made their voices loud and clear. But, with complete disregard for their constituents, Democrats in...
Here's a weird question...
complicatedshoes:
How do you make something like health care… which requires an actual person to provide the care… a right. What if all the doctors decided today not to be doctors anymore? You can’t force people to be doctors. If every doctor in the country determined that this was a raw deal for them and they all moved to Fiji, this would be an unenforceable law, would it not?
Sorry to...

When will they realize it wasn’t worth it? Moe Lane has an answer: Election Night, 2012.
Obama and Dems are ready to disregard Constitution...
It’s come to this: ObamaCare, an unpopular and partisan bill, needs unconstitutional gimmicks such as the Slaughter Rule in order to pass, and citizens are ready to defend the Constitution against the former constitutional professor who was elected and sworn to uphold that pesky and inconvenient document.

Some people shouldn’t drink…ever.
Brain scan can read people's thoughts →
In the study, Maguire and her colleagues Martin Chadwick, Demis Hassabis, and Nikolaus Weiskopf showed 10 people each three very short films before brain scanning. Each movie featured a different actress and a fairly similar everyday scenario.
The researchers scanned the participants’ brains while the participants were asked to recall each of the films. The researchers then ran the...
Pelosi: We have to pass ObamaCare so that you can...
Unbelievable:
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s...
Sean Penn: American journalists who call Hugo...
It seems impossible but Sean Penn somehow finds a way to take his zealotry to a whole new level. Sean Penn, a man whose lavish Hollywood lifestyle and artistic accomplishments would never be possible under the brutal Chávez regime, is best pals with the thuggish dictator. And he hates it when others criticize him.
Here’s what Penn said on, you guessed it, Bill Maher’s show (via The...
