After Obamacare: What Should Conservatives Do?

February 4, 2010 – 11:05 pm

After Obamacare, we can stop pretending that a handful of experts in Washington know better than the rest of the country. After Obamacare, we can return to debating solutions more in line with traditional American values and American ways of solving problems by the trials and errors of a free people. After Obamacare, the goals will be more modest, but more realistic. After Obamacare, health care reform will still be possible – but only if President Obama abandons his utopian schemes and looks at the kind of solutions that Americans have long regarded as common ground.

The Speech Obama Didn’t Give

January 28, 2010 – 7:56 pm

This was, in many ways, Obama’s malaise speech — chiding a displeased nation for setting their expectations too high, and telling us we would need to do a lot of this “change” ourselves; blasting a Supreme Court for their recent decisions on campaign restrictions Obama glided past in his own multi-million dollar campaign for the White House; wagging his finger at Republicans who, now that they have a paper-thin one vote margin to block some of the president’s plans, are apparently expected to govern as equals.

A State of the Union in Contradiction

January 28, 2010 – 7:23 am

A President calling for bipartisanship and an end to the permanent campaign gave a speech that was–in tone and in substance–a campaign speech. A President calling for unity gave a speech that practically cried out “all the bad stuff that happened was George W. Bush’s fault!”. A President calling for a renewal of national purpose spent large amounts of time playing class warfare games, and seeking to turn Americans against Wall Street. That latter activity is an easy one to engage in. But just because something is easy, does not make it right.

January 27, 2010 – 4:01 pm

The President says that he wasn’t involved in making them. The record suggests otherwise.

Alan Grayson Knows Nothing About Reconciliation, Or Senate Rules
