Andy McCarthy has begun an interesting and needed debate on the political stakes this year with the liberal’s mad rush to political implosion over health care. He rightfully notes the liberal leaders in Congress and the White House are going to go ahead with their Holy Grail of government rationed health care no matter what [...]

Incoherent madness.
That is what keeps running through my mind as I watch the last gasps of liberalism on display this year in DC. The far left has always tried to whittle away at the free market economy of America – which is based on the individual – and replace it with socialistic approaches where government [...]

Democrats are an arrogant and intrusive bunch, as can be seen by this interesting Rassmussen poll:

Democrats continue to be strong supporters of a public option, while Republicans and voters not affiliated with either party oppose it.
If the creation of that public option encourages companies to drop private insurance coverage for their workers as many critics [...]

Addendum: Folks, I had to rush this out this morning so I could make a meeting. With a few minutes available I am editing and expanding this a bit, adding links, etc  - end addendum
The science of AGW (man-made global warming) is not only unsettled, it is systematically being debunked by more careful and rigorous [...]

Boy, you can tell these people in DC have no idea what they are doing. I caught a few minutes of the Summit and what I have seen is not impressive.  The Democrat approach is basically to throw some GOP sweeteners in the liberal destruction of our health care system and pretend this should be [...]

You know it is incredibly politically stupid to do something 73% of the American public don’t want done:
Twenty-five percent of people questioned in the poll say Congress should pass legislation similar to the bills passed by both chambers, with 48 percent saying lawmakers should work on an entirely new bill and a quarter saying Congress [...]

There are days when it seems even fate or God is sending a message to the liberals in DC to just give up on their wrongheaded approach of government run and rationed health care. Just as Al Gore’s global warming  conferences seem to be regularly plagued by blizzards, the Obamacare major events always seem to [...]

Young and inexperienced. Naive and unprepared.
These were legitimate concerns expressed about our young president as he marched across the country campaigning for his current job. He was promising a fantasy world of transparency, of government listening to the people,of government working for the people and rejecting power players in DC, of progress and hope. President [...]

The head of the EPA just destroyed the case for controlling CO2. You could see the democrats walking themselves into a checkmate as they tried to point to US government agencies as their new source of AGW and the threat to America. The EPA lead just dismissed the IPCC report as not important, since she [...]

Here is Inhofe’s Minority Report
Final Update: (previous updates at the end) I am listening in on the hearings and I can tell you the Democrats are a pretty ignorant lot, which explains why they are so gullible on AGW. Senator Udall blathered on about ’super computers’, as if processing power guarantees accurate results. Ugh!
Good news: [...]

It is so pre 9/11 now.
One of the tragedies that arose out of the NY Times’ erroneous reporting on the FISA-NSA changes made by President Bush in the after math of 3,000 people killed by terrorists on 9/11 was the idea we lost the trail of the soon-to-be mass murderers once they were in America. [...]

Update: Allahpundit has some choice observations on this over at Hot Air for those interested – end update
The message coming from the electorate to the government these days is pretty simple: “stop screwing things up, get out of the way, let us create and have jobs”. It is a very libertarian mood as the country [...]

The nation has been through many tough times in its past. From the war of 1812, through the civil war and into the Great Depression and World War II, this nation has been through incredibly tough times. 9-11, the last great test of our resolve and strength, surprised even us when we emerged more united [...]

Wow, I am humbly impressed. The Strata-Sphere has made 17th on Technorati’s Green Blogs list, which is led by Watt’s Up With That in the number 1 position. I am truly thankful to all the readers, commenters and those linking to us who helped us achieve this rating. You folks made my year!
BTW, we are [...]

Updates At End
The government cannot generate economic stimulus. Being a leech that lives off the general economy it is always a drag on the economy, not a force to create rapid growth (technology investment creates long term growth potential). Sometimes a needed one to ensure things do not run out of control or people are [...]
