I talked to Buzz yesterday, and he’s promoting a huge social-media celebration of the event (the actual anniversary is a week from Sunday).

The Hobby Lobby Case
…the only reason this conflict arose was a New Deal-era tax loophole that gave birth to our peculiar employer-based health care system. The main lesson of Hobby Lobby is that this system has to go.
Yes. Of course, ObamaCare should never have happened, either, for the same reason.
Liberals Versus Leftists
Can true liberals take the name back? Jonah Goldberg (with sadness) doesn’t think so.

America’s Untouchable Class
It’s time to make them personally liable for their tyrannical behavior. Also, put an end to public-employee unions. They’re an abomination.
Heroes Of Watergate, RIP
I have some thoughts on the passing of Johnnie Walters and Howard Baker, in the context of the current IRS criminality, over at Ricochet. For those not members, I hope it will get promoted to the front page. If not, I’ll repost here at some point.

Echoes Of Watergate
Given current events with the IRS, how eerie is it that both Johnnie Walters and Howard Baker die in the same week?
What a contrast Walker is with Koskinen (not to mention Lerner), and Baker with Harry Reid.
The Obama Scandals
…and media bias:
Historically, reporters and editors have believed that their job is to disseminate news. That is no longer true. Now, most reporters and editors believe that their principal function is to prevent people from learning things they are better off not knowing. Day after day, they run interference for their party, the Democrats. Blockading inconvenient stories from making the news is job number one.

Joe Scarborough went on a similar rant:
“You know, if George W. Bush or any Republicans had an IRS member that went after Democrats and then there was an internal investigation launched, you would not have time or space on the front page to talk about [other] issues,” Scarborough said. “This really is a scam!”
“Scam” is far too kind a word for it.
