BIG Threats on Health Care this Week and Tele Townhall Tonight at 7:30PM EST
02.23.10 12:24 PMIt was bad enough when President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid tried to pass their health care takeover through vote-buying, closed-door meetings, and strong-arm tactics. But what they’re doing now is even worse…

Flash Report: A Sober One-Year Anniversary for Stimulus in California
The following blog was posted at the Flash Report by AFP California’s Communications Director, Meredith Turney.This morning I read the Governor’s Weekly Address and decided that it needed a conservative response. The whole address was a "celebration" of the one-year anniversary of the federal stimulus plan. It’s hardly an anniversary worth celebrating, but considering California’s recent proclivity to beg the feds for more aid, I guess the influx of cash would excite government bureaucrats.

Dear Leader Reid, a Bipartisan Jobs Bill Needs More than Words
02.22.10 08:06 AMSince Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) rocked the political landscape, President Obama, Leader Reid and the media elite have sounded a trumpet for bipartisanship. Its funny how losing a filibuster-proof majority can reorient your perspective.
At the same time, the clarion call from the American people was that jobsnot health care takeovers, cap-and-trade energy taxes or financial regulationsshould be Washingtons main focus. Leader Reid had a chance to embrace the bipartisanship he claimed to desire and advance his jobs bill. However, he realized that bipartisanship means compromise. It means accepting things you may not want. And he decided hed rather advance a stripped down, ineffective bill than swallow a bipartisan proposal.
Senators Baucus (D-Mont.) and Grassley (R-Iowa) thought they had Reids blessing as they put forth a bipartisan effort to stimulate employment and cut taxes. But Reid killed the bill in less than a day. Reports of objections from Reids left flank were too much for the Leader.
Today, Reid will get a cloture vote on his own stripped down jobs bill. Its still unclear if the measure will pass. But if the weak and ineffective measures in Reids bill die on a party-line vote, he will have no one to blame but himself.
So much for the majoritys commitment to bipartisanship.

Kerpen on FOX Forum: Van Jones Returns
02.22.10 11:07 AMA speech in New Hampshire appears to be just the beginning of former green jobs czar Van Jones’s comeback tour. But his environmental advocacy can’t be separated from his political extremism.
Updated February 22, 2010
By Phil Kerpen – FOXNews.comAnthony K. Van Jones has surfaced. The disgraced former White House special green jobs adviser is making an appearance at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire tonight, apparently at the request of Democratic State Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan. Exeter promotes the event saying: globally recognized, Jones will lead an evening talk and discussion about green jobs. This is just the start of his comeback tour; on March 8, Jones will again appear at a Democratic green jobs event, in New York with U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. That otherwise respectable people would come to green jobs events with Van Jones suggests that his green jobs advocacy is somehow separable from his political extremism. It isnt.

Free Market Essentials Part 2: Property Rights
02.14.10 07:49 AMPrivate property is the cornerstone of a free society, and it must be understood (and defended) in a world where so many influential people, including our current president, believe that the "collective", that government, has a higher claim to the fruits of our labor and the things we own.

Free Market Essentials Part 3: Division of Labor
02.18.10 07:53 AMDivision of Labor, or economic specialization, is not a guarantor of success, but it is a prerequisite for it. The fact that we don’t have to grow our own food, raise our own cattle, or churn our own butter is precisely why people can have the freedom and ability to invent iPhones, write screenplays like Gran Torino, and become brain surgeons.
We all come out ahead when free people, as best they can, choose their career path in life. That means incurring the risks, but also being allowed to reap the rewards.
