Here’s a shocking thought: maybe Congress isn’t so dysfunctional after all. Maybe it is actually executing the will of the people – people fed up with pay-offs and handouts, pork and piggishness — Congress’ “business as usual” cronyism. Obamacare put them over the edge.
Americans have resolutely opposed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – aka Obamacare – since its inception, but Congress passed it anyway. Not only was the public rightly wary of the government’s upending of one sixth of our economy – a dangerous act of hubris in the midst of a terrible recession – they were also appalled at how the monstrous bill passed.
They were disgusted by the $100 million Cornhusker Kickback that won Senator Ben Nelson’s vote, the $300 million Louisiana Purchase that swayed Mary Landrieu, the malfeasance of legislators who blindly voted for the unread 1,000-page bill. They knew Obamacare was a stinker from the get-go, and they punished those who rammed it down their throats in 2010, electing a GOP House by a vast margin.
It is not surprising that the House, so elected, might hold fast the lessons of 2010. Among other things, they are allergic to big, fat indigestible bills. When 179 Republicans voted against the $70 billion Sandy Relief bill, the usual suspects were outraged, blasting Tea Party intransigence. But Senator Kelly Ayotte argued persuasively in an op-ed why she voted “no,” describing the bill’s hidden pork – the millions and billions snuck in to fix a leaky roof at the Smithsonian, for new cars for the FBI, and for highway repairs across the country. She had earlier supported a $24 billion package that actually targeted Sandy victims, but that bill was defeated. As she pointed out, the Sandy package ultimately ended up costing more than the annual Homeland Security budget. Imagine that.

When BDS supporters punish Israel by picketing Australian chocolate shops owned by a Jewish businessman, their absurdity invites us to laugh. Yet when they call for the severing of ties between Australian and Israeli academics […]
http://www.unionleader.com/article/20130710/OPINION01/130719992/1004/opinion Obamacare is a 906-page law that has generated — so far — at least 10,000 pages of federal regulations to direct the activity in one-seventh of the U.S. economy. And some people are surprised that it is too complex to be implemented on schedule? Last Friday the Obama administration released final regulations for a […]
http://spectator.org/people/gerald-walpin/all.xml Reality, logic, and history need be applied to hysteria of some concerning NSA’s possession of all phone numbers called by phones of Americans and even, some say, the addresses from and to all emails. Consider the same law enforcement tactic used successfully to catch domestic criminals. Just recently, a dozen of similar-type robberies by […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/enza-ferreri/the-islamist-wind-in-britain/ Over the last weekend there have been two more street attacks on soldiers in Britain, one of which was fatal. On Saturday, the Yorkshire town of Barnsley in northern England honored soldiers with parades and celebrations for its Armed Forces Day. One of the soldiers, who had returned from the Falkland Islands just hours […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/time-to-label-nigerian-schoolchildren-slaughterers-terrorists/ The Clarion Project has started a petition to designate the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram as—well, a terrorist group. The Obama Administration’s desire to end the war on terror and not pick any new fights is overriding common-sense and moral clarity. The United Kingdom has just branded Boko Haram as a terrorist group, so […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/matthew-vadum/government-approved-race-riots/ The Obama administration deployed government-paid community organizers to Sanford, Florida after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin last year in order to foment racial tensions, newly released government documents show. The news came as the Obama administration publicly pretended to be concerned at the prospect of ugly race riots breaking out across America in […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-day-america-died It was a tragic coincidence that Monday, April 1, 2013 was both the last day of the Jewish celebration of Passover and the 34th anniversary of the 1979 referendum establishing the Islamic Republic of Iran, under the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Ironically as well, it was the day after Western Christendom’s Easter Sunday. At noon […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/muslim-chutzpah?f=puball Only the Hebrew word “chutzpah” appropriately describes it but a recent demand of the Vatican by Egypt’s senior Sunni cleric Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb screams for its use. To better understand why, a brief history of recent Muslim/Catholic relations is necessary. In 2006, ties between Muslims and Catholics were severed by the […]
