Jeffrey H. Anderson: Democrats in Fantasyland on Health Care Reform

"In talking about their proposed health care overhaul (it is not reform), the Democrats are having are terrible time separating fact from fantasy. They are confusing these in three particularly notable ways.

"First, they are falsely portraying their proposed overhaul as being deficit-neutral — or even deficit-reducing. Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t buy this nonsense, but there was Democratic Senator Kent Conrad on national TV on Sunday, saying, 'Fact is it reduces the deficit in the first 10 years by $130 billion.' That is not fact; it is fantasy. The $130 billion figure is based on the fantasy that the Democrats would cut doctors’ payments under Medicare by 21 percent and never raise them back up — ever. (They are getting credit for this cut in the Congressional Budget Office’s scoring of the bill.) No one in America expects this to happen. If it doesn’t, then according to the CBO, the bill would add over $200 billion to the deficit."

Genius Envy: Ed Schultz Repudiates Ed Schultz

"The bill makes the insurance mandatory for all Americans. This mandate is one of the most unAmerican things, I think, the Senate has ever done. This isn’t the same thing as mandating for car insurance or home owners insurance. I mean, there’s nothing more personal than your body…Forcing people, by the way, to buy health care, in my opinion, that’s not liberty. It’s not reform. It’s restriction. It’s a restriction of freedom that’s not democratic."

Hell No, We Won't Go ... Again

"The Constitution, the oft-forgotten law of the land, does not empower the government to draft its citizens to fight their wars. Daniel Webster, during the War of 1812, made this point very clear.

"'Where is it written in the Constitution, in what article or section is it contained, that you may take children from their parents, and parents from their children, and compel them to fight the battles of any war, in which the folly or the wickedness of Government may engage it?'"

War And Peace: Obama Speech Rebukes Anti-War Protesters

"In his acceptance speech in Oslo, Mr. Obama refuted the antiwar crowd. Whether he did so intentionally or not, he provided those who went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan — and those who ordered those wars — the intellectual and moral ammunition against those who opposed the war. He told the truth about war and presented a sophisticated rejoinder to those opposed to war."
