March 21, 2010 Is A Date That Will Live In Infamy
by Matthew Vadum
America suffered an atrocity of catastrophic proportions last night and it's not clear if the nation will ever recover. On Sunday a few hours after Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and his voting bloc sold out their country in order to advance legislation that nationalizes the healthcare industry, the infamous bill overwhelmingly opposed by the American people barely passed the House of Representatives on a vote of 219 to 212. Not a single Republican voted for the bill. (The screen grab above shows the moment, 10:45 p.m. Eastern, the ...
Boehner's Last Stand: Hell No You Can't!
by Liz Blaine
Now that is a speech! Senate Minority Leader John Boehner made his last stand before the final vote on healthcare Sunday night prior to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's final words.
Stupak and Lessons Learned: Democrats Lie. Chronically
by Lori Ziganto
The second lesson that should be learned is that there is no such thing as a Pro-Life Democrat. Partisanship and agendas over-ride all for them. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Bart Stupak sold out for an Executive Order; a piece of paper that holds absolutely no merit, particularly when coming from arguably the most pro-abortion President that we've ever had. It's no surprise because Bart Stupak is Pro-Life only if you consider Pro-Life to mean Pro-Political Life, where one does whatever is politically expedient. Bart ...
Now Change is Brought to Obama
by Ryan Mauro
The health care debate has overshadowed a pretty interesting change in President Obama’s message to Iran. Yesterday, President Obama released a videotaped message to Iran, just as he did last year. Notice the change in tone. Click here for the message and here for last year’s remarks. He still opened by saying “The Islamic Republic of Iran” as a way of assuring the leadership that he does not seek their overthrow, but immediately placed the failure in diplomacy at their feet. President Obama stated that “The United States does not meddle ...
In Defense Of - Me
by John L. Work
For the second time in two weeks I find myself in the position of being the target of choice by an NRB blogger for things I wrote – and for some things I did not write. The distinguished Elise Cooper has pointedly and heatedly responded to my observations of Frances Townsend’s comments about the War On Terror. Fair enough. I shall take the issues one at a time: “You pointed out that she did not use the verboten “I” word (by the way, neither did you.) Maybe she ...
These Leftists in Washington... -- Sarah Palin
by David Swindle
My heart just jumped. Governor Sarah Palin is on the O'Reilly Factor right now and she has not uttered the word "liberal" as a descriptor of the Democrats pushing Obamacare tonight. What's she saying? Leftist. In the past I've often been somewhat skeptical and even dismissive toward Palin (I like her, but I'm not head-over-heals like many of her supporters.) However, if she continues like this -- calling the Left by its name and understanding it properly -- then she's got a new fan.
Stupak the Snookered Stooge Can't See the Dark Forest Into Which He's Leading America
by David Swindle
Rep. Bart Stupak cannot see the forest for the trees. The principled* pro-life Democrat recently announced his surrender to Obamacare. He will vote for the bill because of a promised executive order to prevent funding for abortion. My friend Paul Cooper has pointed out that President Obama's executive order could easily be rescinded. That's only part of the story, though. What Stupak does not seem to be able to comprehend is this: if you want to prevent the federal government from paying for abortions then you MUST be opposed to ...
Stalinism from America's Hat: Ann Coulter Threatened with Arrest by College Administrator for Upcoming Speech in Canada
by David Swindle
Hat-tip to Queen Kathy Shaidle, who alerted NRB to this MUST READ post at Coren's Comment: Dear Ms. Coulter, I understand that you have been invited by University of Ottawa Campus Conservatives to speak at the University of Ottawa this coming Tuesday. We are, of course, always delighted to welcome speakers on our campus and hope that they will contribute positively to the meaningful exchange of ideas that is the hallmark of a great university campus. We have a great respect for freedom of expression in Canada, as well ...
Video: Stupak Has Lied About Healthcare Vote All Along
by Liz Blaine
It looks like pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak has lied to Americans in opposition to the current health care bill. He never intended to vote against the legislation when it came down to final vote. Listen to this video of Bart Stupak recorded last year, when he was unaware he was being recorded. Hat Tip to Stand In The Gap and Gateway Pundit
From Hero to Goat: Bart Stupak is Jar Jar Binks
by Paul Cooper
For those who aren't familiar with Star Wars, Jar Jar Binks was an annoying, good guy character in the prequel Star Wars trilogy. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) has been annoying to the Left but a good guy by those against Obamacare until now. With Stupak's dramatic switch to support of the Senate version of the health care bill, he appears to be mirroring a similarly pivotal mistake that Jar Jar Binks made in Star Wars. Jar Jar was a goof ball, but played a major role as a ...
First, Do No Harm.... Second, Do No Harm.... Third, Do No Harm....
by Jeremiah Duboff
Here we are in crunch time and it occurred to me: Why hasn't the first principle of medical care itself -- "First, do no harm" -- not been the rallying cry of conservative, common sense opposition to federal takeover of health care? Not just rallying cry, but conservatives' rhetorical cudgel-of-choice to wield against proponents of this massive (395,096-word) and massively unpopular piece of socialistic legislation. The question has been posed as an echo, not a sound. Last December one piece at NR asked the question, armed with facts but otherwise almost absent-mindedly. A couple ...
