Bart Stupak signed on to ObamaCare after President Obama gave him an executive order and his promise that taxpayer money would not be spent on abortions. And as everyone but Stupak expected, neither of those commitments is being honored: The Obama administration has officially approved the first instance of taxpayer funded abortions under the new [...]

Thousands of veterans could have been exposed to HIV, hapatitis at Missouri VA hospital
If you think government run health care is higher quality or more equitable than privately run health care, think again. The Department of Veterans Affairs administers a health care system for our military veterans that is run and paid for by the US government. Unfortunately, it has become quite well known that it’s an inferior [...]
Men feel like failures after seeing the birth of their kids?
We can always count on the kooky bio ethicists to come up with some new harebrained idea that is meant to wrest more control away from the individual, and Dr. Jonathan Ives, a UK bio ethicist, is no exception. He thinks men who witness the birth of their children feel like failures afterward. How absurd. [...]

Television ad promoting abortion services runs in Britain tonight
For the first time anywhere, a British abortion provider Marie Stopes International will run an ad promoting its abortion services on British prime time television. Needless to say, the advertisement is creating a lot of controversy. While most Brits support access to legalized abortion, many become queasy at the thought of abortion being promoted on [...]
CNN pushes false health care story
Dr. Peter Weiss at Pajamas Media catches CNN, the supposedly “most trusted” name in news, pushing an utterly false health care story. Godfrey Davies, an American patient without insurance, said he needed nasal polyp surgery. He contacted several ENTs for cash quotes and said the lowest price he was given was $33,127, whereas in the [...]
Peter Orszag confirms: death panels in ObamaCare
Orszag doesn’t use the term death panels, of course, but when Sarah Palin created the term, the Independent Payment Advisory Board was precisely what she had in mind: a group of unaccountable and unelected government bureaucrats who will determine who lives and who dies based upon what Medicare treatments will be covered. Palin was roundly [...]
Henry Waxman cancels CEO show trials
Right after ObamaCare was signed into law, large American corporations started announcing that the tax and regulatory structure of ObamaCare would cost them tens of millions of dollars. Caterpillar was the first to announce that the new health care bill will cost them $100 million in the first year. AT&T said it would cost them [...]
Did the newly signed health care reform law leave members of Congress to the tender mercies of ObamaCare?
The New York Times this morning reports that the ObamaCare bill that Democrats forced through Congress in defiance of the American people’s wishes and that Barack Obama signed into law may have forced rank and file members of the House and the Senate and all their staffs out of the generous Federal Employees Health Benefit [...]
I'm Kim Priestap
I'm a Reagan conservative and believe in his core principles as outlined by Jeffrey Lord in The American Spectator:
1. The idea that an individual was and should always be the master of his or her own destiny.
2. The belief in the unique character and powers of every human being and their personal opinions.
3. A belief in freedom under law, as opposed to the concept of modern liberalism that power is everything.
4. A belief that collectivism and the centralizing of power in Washington threatened Americans with a loss of freedom in their own communities and daily lives.
5. A belief in the individual over bureaucracy.
6. That modern liberalism has, in the words of Whittaker Chambers, a "vindictiveness...of temper."
7. That, as Reagan wrote, "we cannot diminish the value of an entire category of human life -- the unborn -- without diminishing the value of all human life."
8. That we will all die, but what makes the difference, as Reagan once said, is what we die for. That there are things worth dying for, and peace, alas, can never be purchased at any price but strength.
9. That freedom belongs to every individual by divine right.
10. That freedom is better than control.
