“Sunday’s Socialist Triumph”
by Tony Blankley
SNIPPET: “So, considering the rhetorical onslaught that is about to be unleashed on the public, to paraphrase (and with the deepest apologies to) Winston Churchill on the occasion of the fall of France in June 1940:
What House Minority Leader John A. Boehner has called the Battle of Capitol Hill is over. I expect that the Battle of the Electorate is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of a nonsocialist America. Upon it depends our own American way of life and the long continuity of our institutions and our history.”
SNIPPET: “The Democratic congressional leadership seems to have a stunningly insulting view of their potential voters’ intelligence. But on such a basis is the battle for the minds of the voters joined.
Never will the wisdom and common sense of the American public have been put to a more fateful test. The organized opposition to the bill must do its best. But, as fitting to a constitutional republic, the fate of American freedom lies with the people.”
Best dressers in their earliest days as Mods (pre-1967). Ditto The Kinks in their Horses and Hounds getups.

“Act II: Slaying the health care legislation”
March 23, 2010
SNIPPET: “The question with the passage Sunday of Democratic health legislation now becomes: Who will arrive first to slay this monster, the voters in November or the U.S. Supreme Court?”
Hum. Nice.
But my nominee for best vintage performance has to go to The Who’s mini opera: “A Quick One”.
The performance is 6:30 into The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus here:
I don’t condone anything every done by this band in the past present or future but they DO really rock on this video.
Greatest rock and roll band in history. Good find!
Every opponent of this bill should begin over-using the system once the “benefits” kick in. If we all clogged the clinics, doctors’ offices. ER’s and hospitals in a mass movement the funding required to support it would bankrupt the system almost immediately.

“Dates That Destroyed America”
by Chuck Baldwin
SNIPPET: “People concerned about the future of freedom and prosperity in America should line up quickly and demand that their respective State legislatures and governors resist this new health care bill, even to the point of refusing to implement it in their states. More than 30 states are threatening to take the health care bill to court. But states must do more than that. They must follow the lead of the State of Virginia and pass legislation refusing to comply with it. Yes, I’m saying it: it is time for another State rebellion! If states do not stand up and draw their lines in the sand now, it will be forever too late.”

“Three prongs to undo ObamaCare”
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 3/25/2010 6:00:00 AM
SNIPPET: “Brian Darling, director of U.S. Senate relations at The Heritage Foundation, believes it is going to be a long, tough battle to undo what the Democrats did this past week.
“There’s basically a three-front fight going on right now — one being the legal, one being the electoral, and one being the legislative,” he explains.”

MIKE PENCE: This Law Will Not Stand
Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/25/10 | MIKE PENCE
Posted on March 25, 2010 5:05:12 PM PDT by rhema
In the dead of night on Sunday, Democrats rammed their health-care overhaul through Congress. Some say we made history. I say we broke with history, turning our back on this country’s finest traditions of limited government, personal responsibility, and the consent of the governed.
Republicans remain committed to reforming health care in a way that honors these values. For the past year we have suggested ways to fix the system by reducing costs—specifically through instituting tort reform and by allowing Americans to purchase insurance across state lines.
As Washington Democrats embark on their attempt to sell government-run health care, they are in for a rude awakening. A few more speeches about the same bad law will not change any minds. The American people don’t want a government takeover of health care and House Republicans will work every day to repeal this law and start over.
If we repeal ObamaCare, we can start over with common-sense market solutions to lower the cost of health insurance.

“The Last Line of Defense between ObamaCare and Kansans”
By Milton R. Wolf, MD
SNIPPET: “I am Milton Wolf. After this last week, you probably know me as the doctor who is Barack Obama’s cousin.
Like millions of other Americans, I watched with bafflement and frustration as Congress wrestled with the onerous task of reforming our health care system. After studying both the House and Senate’s health care plans, and a lot of sleepless nights, I knew I had to take a stand for my patients, my profession, my state, and my country. I made the decision to “go public” with my opposition to “ObamaCare.”
I wish my cousin well, but my oath is to my patients.
What began as a humble blog led to a Washington Times op-ed. Then a massive media storm erupted. Morning news with a visit to the Curvy Couch, radio interviews, ruffled feathers at Media Matters & Democratic Underground, another op-ed, an army of Davids carrying my questions to their representatives in Congress, Hannity, more FOX & Friends, radio, and more print and internet opinions than I could ever read. Last Saturday, it all culminated in an address to thirty thousand patriots who set their lives aside long enough to rush to the Capitol and try one more time to be heard by their elected leaders in Washington.
My message is simple: Patients will suffer under ObamaCare.”

REPEAL: Why and how Obamacare must be undone
The Weekly Standard ^ | The April 5th, 2010 Issue | Yuval Levin
Posted on March 27, 2010 4:58:01 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
In the days since the enactment of their health care plan, Democrats in Washington have been desperately seeking to lodge the new program in the pantheon of American public-policy achievements. House Democratic whip James Clyburn compared the bill to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Vice President Biden argued it vindicates a century of health reform efforts by Democrats and Republicans alike. House speaker Nancy Pelosi said “health insurance reform will stand alongside Social Security and Medicare in the annals of American history.”
Even putting aside the fact that Social Security and Medicare are going broke and taking the rest of the government with them, these frantic forced analogies are preposterous. The new law is a ghastly mess, which began as a badly misguided technocratic pipe dream and was then degraded into ruinous incoherence by the madcap process of its enactment.
The appeals to history are understandable, however, because the Democrats know that the law is also exceedingly vulnerable to a wholesale repeal effort: Its major provisions do not take effect for four years, yet in the interim it is likely to begin wreaking havoc with the health care sector—raising insurance premiums, health care costs, and public anxieties. If those major provisions do take effect, moreover, the true costs of the program will soon become clear, and its unsustainable structure will grow painfully obvious. So, to protect it from an angry public and from Republicans armed with alternatives, the new law must be made to seem thoroughly established and utterly irrevocable—a fact on the ground that must be lived with; tweaked, if necessary, at the edges, but at its core politically untouchable.
But it is no such thing.(continued)
