ObamaCare’s Fake Accounting
You don’t say: “You can’t vastly expand and subsidize gold-plated health-care insurance and expect to save money.”

Bill Nelson Is Getting Nervous
He’s blaming Obama for high gas prices. I love this line:

More Thoughts On Social Darwinism

Strangely enough, “progressivism” was broadly associated with eugenics and racism and yet the only people who remember that are the people accused of being social darwinists.

And they should be ashamed to do so, given the history of the twentieth century.
