“But we also have to demand greater efficiencies from our health care system. Today, we pay almost twice as much for health care per person than other industrialized nations, and too much of it has nothing to do with patient care.”
One of the major arguments used by the left is the substantial cost of health [...]

Is U.S. Health Care Inferior to the Rest of the World?

Obama: Religion is “the art of the impossible.”
August 30, 2008
Obama’s views on social issues are often not in line with Christian teachings, but that has not stopped him from staking his own claim on such issues. In a supposed dispute with Christian leaders, Obama defends his anti-Christian views on abortion, same-sex unions, and other family-related issues.
“Democracy,” he writes, “demands that the religiously motivated translate [...]
McCain’s VP Selection Highlights Obama’s Inadequate Resume
August 29, 2008
Today, John McCain shocked the world by picking a less than likely candidate to be his Vice Presidential nominee: Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska. While some are asking, “who is she?” others are going further and saying, “will she be ready to be Commander-in-Chief if needed?” and, “What kind of experience does she have [...]
New Texas GOP ad highlights Obama’s shady friends
August 28, 2008
Here is the latest ad put out by the Texas Republican Party about Barack Obama’s “friends.” As we highlight in the book, Obama has spent a lifetime cozying up to socialists, Black supremacists, anti-American terrorists and communists. Do these friends reflect his own thinking? Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. But when you begin to [...]
Obama Attacks the Religous Right
August 28, 2008
Did Barack Obama look nervous to be at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Forum? There might be a reason he struggled to answer questions regarding when life begins, or what he believes the definition of marriage to be. It’s because his personal views are in direct contrast to traditional Christian beliefs.
Throughout his book, The Audacity of Hope, [...]
Obama: Government Should Provide Sex Education for Kindergarteners
August 25, 2008
At a Planned Parenthood conference in July 2007, Obama said that sex education for kindergarteners is “the right thing to do.” Obama believes that the state should be in the business of providing “age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools.” He would rather not leave this responsibility to a child’s family, even at that [...]
Obama: More pro-abortion than NARAL
August 23, 2008
Despite Obama’s efforts to publicly portray himself as a post-partisan, moderate bridge-builder, especially on social issues, his voting record illuminates the nature of his radical liberal beliefs. For example, as an Illinois state Senator, Obama voted against filtering pornography on elementary school library computers. In 2000, Obama voted “present” on a bill which would notify [...]
Obama’s views on 911
August 22, 2008
This story has gotten a little coverage in the media, but not much. The New Yorker magazine actually ran a great piece on Obama entitled “Making It”, which quotes him at length on his views about the causes and possible responses to 911. Ryan Lizza quotes Obama’s article in the Hyde Park Herald from September [...]
Obama on Clarence Thomas
August 20, 2008
There was a really interesting article in the Wall Street Journal’s Opinion Page on “Obama on Clarence Thomas.” I think Obama’s remarks about Clarence Thomas and his off-cuff remarks in general give us a truer glimpse into who Barack Obama really is. Here’s a tidbit from the WSJ article:
Barack Obama likes to portray himself as [...]
Is Obama Ready to Be Commander in Chief?
August 20, 2008
The first chapter of the book is my analysis of Senator Barack Obama’s views on foreign policy, which are of supreme importance in understanding what kind of commander in chief he would be. One’s worldview about geopolitics shapes his policy decisions. That is why when Obama was asked how we should deal with evil in [...]
