*The Lords of Entitlement, at the WSJ.
“The bill is instead a breathtaking display of illiberal ambition, intended to make the middle class more dependent on government through the umbilical cord of “universal health care.” It creates a vast new entitlement, financed by European levels of taxation on business and individuals.”

“If you still have warm feelings toward Obama and his good intentions, ask yourself this: Will you feel comfortable one day when the appointees of President Romney or President Palin are exercising unconstitutional, unauthorized, unreviewable authority to restructure the economy the way they see fit?”
Good question, and one too many people never ask.
*President Obama will meet with every thug on earth without pre-conditions, but not Benjamin Netanyahu. Unbelievable.

*We Were Fools to Think the Fall of the Berlin Wall Had Killed the Far Left, by Melanie Phillips.
“The Iron Curtain came down only to be replaced by a rainbow-hued knuckle-duster, as our cultural commissars pulverize all forbidden attitudes in order to reshape western society into a post-democratic, post-Christian, post-moral universe. Lenin would have smiled.”

“We don’t need to wring our hands and our brains to try and figure out the motive of the terrorist, when someone fires on Americans, killing as many as he possibly can, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” that is all I need to know. The question of motive need not be asked, especially not when you have further evidence of devout religiosity, and vocal criticism of our military missions in our other battlefields, like Iraq and Afghanistan: all of which was true of Nidal Hasan.”
