Our Make-It-Up World [VDH]

Not really. This is an age when Americans were assured that the Affordable Care Act lowered our premiums. It cut deductibles. Obamacare allowed us to keep our doctors and health plans, and lowered the deficit. Those fantasies were both demonstrably untrue and did not matter, given the supposedly noble aims of health care reform.

The Islamic State is at times dubbed jayvee, a manageable problem, and a dangerous enemy — or anything the administration wishes it to be, depending on the political climate of any given week.

Some days Americans are told there is no reason to restrict connecting flights from Ebola-ravaged countries. Then, suddenly, entry from those countries is curtailed to five designated U.S. airports. Quarantines are both necessary and not so critical, as the administration weighs public concern versus politically correct worries over isolating a Third World African country.

Ebola is so hard to catch that there is no reason to worry about causal exposures to those without clear symptoms. But then why do health authorities still try to hunt down anyone who had even a brief encounter with supposedly asymptomatic carriers?

The deaths of four Americans in Benghazi were caused by a video that sparked a riot, and then apparently not. Various narratives about corruption and incompetence at the VA, IRS, NSA, GSA and Secret Service are raised and then dropped. The larger truth is that these scandals must be quarantined from infecting the president’s progressive agenda.

Please tell me you are kidding. Surely you know as well as I do that the second the RINOs get back in power they will start slapping one another on the back and sipping their whiskey thinking the nightmare has come finally to an end. They will do nothing while congratulating themselves for their rightness while the world continues to immolate itself.

Please tell me you're kidding.

While I am as sickened as anyone by the feckless gOpE leadership, I also pragmatically believe that an incremental gain strategy is colossally better than leaving the democRATS in power.

If "the RINOs get back in power and start slapping one another on the back ...", you deal with that in 2016 or 2018 or 2020. But you take away the Senate from Dingy Harry Reid now. If that happens, we won't ....

* nominate a wide Latina or a partisan lesbian to the Supreme Court
* have a foreign policy that bows to Islam and pisses on Israel
* encourage travelers into the U.S. directly from West African countries battling ebola
* continue to pick and choose which laws we will enforce and those we won't
* send the Attorney General of the U.S. into a city to incite rioting alongside Sharpton and Jackson
* have a government that seeks to increase its size and tentacles into the lives of its citizens without bounds
* have a Senate that can block any Congressional investigation into serious crimes committed by the IRS, VA, NRS, Attorney General, etc
* a government committed to fake science regarding gloBULL warming/"climate change"
* Lena Dunham, Sandra Fluke and 'Life of Julia' presented as models for women

I could go on, but Ann Coulter's soundbite is truth beyond repute ... There are a lot of bad Republicans, but there are no good democRATS
