The Founding Fathers Said...

Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country. - Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788

In anticipation of Senate Democrats’ introduction of an $849 billion dollar plan to overhaul the nation’s health care system, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn last week announced his intention to press for a full reading of the 2,074 page bill on the floor of the Senate, a process estimated to require between [...]

“The Blind Side” is a beautiful new film based on a magnificent and heartwarming true story.
But I hope that the many who see it do not simply walk out all aglow. It should also produce concern.
This story about hopelessness transformed into achievement should be a typically American story. We should be [...]

Democrats have long complained about the “wedge issues” that Republicans allegedly exploit to “divide” the country. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that these so-called “wedges” are the issues where majorities or large pluralities of Americans are at odds with “enlightened opinion” as defined by liberals and the media: Abortion, affirmative action [...]

As Air Force One heads to Copenhagen for the climate summit Dec. 9, it will presumably not make a U-turn while flying over the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at University of East Anglia near Norwich, England. But perhaps it should.
The 61 megabytes of CRU e-mails and [...]

Some friends were trying to convince me that Major Nidal Malik Hasan will surely be executed for conducting his one-man massacre at Fort Hood. I was willing to bet he wouldn’t be. For one thing, why would he be the exception? Sirhan Sirhan wasn’t executed, Charles [...]

The forecasts of global warming are based on the mathematical solutions of equations in models of the weather.  But all of these solutions are inaccurate. Therefore no valid scientific conclusions can be made concerning global warming. The false claim for the effectiveness of mathematics is an unreported scandal at least as [...]

Peer review appearances can be deceiving

My favorite moment in the Climategate/Climaquiddick scandal currently roiling the “climate change” racket was Stuart Varney’s interview on Fox News with the actor Ed Begley Jr., star of the 1980s medical drama “St. Elsewhere” but latterly better known, as is the fashion with members of the [...]

Democratic plans will exacerbate Medicaid coverage problems
Nov 30, 2009
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Obama has angrily denounced those who warned that Democratic health care proposals will reduce Medicare benefits. “Medicare is another issue that’s been subjected to demagoguery and distortion during the course of this debate,” he said during the course of his Sept. 9 address [...]

Government health care will explode costs
Nov 30, 2009
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat, provided one of the last two votes needed to bring the government health care takeover to the Senate. She didn’t even blush about selling her vote. “I am not going to be defensive. And it’s not a $100 million [...]

Employers fund insurance
Nov 30, 2009
By Stephen Dinan
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants could receive health care coverage from their employers under the bills winding their way through Congress, despite President Obama’s explicit pledge that illegal immigrants would not benefit.
The House bill mandates, and the Senate bill strongly encourages, businesses to extend health care coverage to [...]
