Krauthammer: “Delusions of the media”
Dr. Krauthammer wonders more specifically about the delusions of Paul Krugman, but his point can be widely applied to a number of media commentators over the last few days. Krauthammer dissects the the media’s hysterical and fact-free ranting about fantastical links between Sarah Palin and the Tea Party and the shootings in Arizona and neatly skewers the raging hypocrisy of it.

Media covering up alleged shooter's liberal politics?
Are the news media deliberately disguising the reported liberal politics of Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in yesterday's fatal shooting that left six dead and gravely injured a U.S. congresswoman? Caitie Parker, who went to high school and college with the gunman, labeled Loughner as "quite liberal" and "more left" on her Twitter account. Parker wrote of Loughner, "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."

Liberals Seek Ban on Metaphors in Wake of Arizona Shooting
After the monstrous shooting in Arizona last week, surely we can all agree that we've got to pass Obama's agenda immediately and stop using metaphors. At least I think that's what the mainstream media are trying to tell me. Liberals instantly leapt on the sickening massacre at a Tucson political event over the weekend to accuse tea partiers, Sarah Palin and all conservatives who talk out loud of being complicit in murder by inspiring the shooter, Jared Loughner.

Sheriff Joe: Tucson Sheriff Out of Line

Army Officer Refuses Pro-Homosexual Training
The Army National Guard officer who refuses to cooperate with the Obama administration's plan to force open homosexuality on the military is not being punished. On the contrary, the lieutenant colonel, whose identity is being protected at his request, is getting exactly what he asked for: transfer from a command to a staff position so he will not have to order troops to undergo the Pentagon's pro-'gay' indoctrination.

VFW sues Obama administration over Mojave cross
The California department of the nation's largest veterans organization has filed a lawsuit against federal authorities, demanding the Obama administration obey a congressional order permitting the Veterans of Foreign Wars to maintain the Mojave Memorial Cross.

Lawmaker's new proposal would hit feds with charges
The state of Montana, which came up with the idea that the guns made, sold and kept inside its borders simply are exempt from federal regulations and made that its law, now is considering a new weapon that could be used to cancel much of the authority of federal agents over its residents. A new legislative proposal would declare that the state's local county sheriffs are the pre-eminent law enforcement authority in their jurisdictions, and federal agents such as those working for the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and others, would be required to get permission from them before they could take any action.

The 15 Worst Health & Diet Myths
In January, we often think about a new year's resolution. Most of us vow to become healthier by changing what we eat. A well-balanced diet, combined with some smart choices, is all you need to lose pounds and keep most of our greatest health worries at bay. But many food and nutrition ³myths² persist.

Is the Salutation, "Dear", Dead?
Am I that old that I was taught to start every letter to someone with the word, "Dear"? Lynn Gaertner-Johnston, who runs the Syntax Training business writing school in Seattle, says she tells clients they can forgo "dear" in emails, but must keep it in business letters. "We don't use dear because someone is dear to us," she says, "but because we understand the standards of business writing and recognize the standards of intelligent business people." The Emily Post Institute says it's OK in general to drop "dear" but advises using it in particularly formal emails.

The Ultrasound that Changed Abby Johnson's Life
Just released: Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director, has written a dramatic true story about her pro-life conversion. The book's title is "unPlanned". "What was in this woman¹s womb just a moment ago was alive. It wasn¹t just tissue, just cells. It was a human baby. And it was fighting for its life! A battle it lost in the blink of an eye. What I have told people for years, what I¹ve believed and taught and defended, is a lie", Johnson says.

41% of All Pregnancies in New York City End in Abortion
Last week statistics were released that found 41% of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion. As is the case throughout the country, Blacks were significantly more likely to abort than Whites, Asians, or Hispanics. Whereas Blacks have a 59.8% abortion rate in New York, Hispanics have a rate of 41.3%, Asians 22.7% and Whites 20.4%. Currently, Bill 371 is being proposed that targets pro-life crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs). This bill would require pregnancy centers, to post signage in front of their buildings that would discourage women seeking alternatives to abortion from entering their facilities.

How Can We Be Sure that Vaccines Are Safe?

Occult Altar Found in Tucson Shooter¹s Backyard
The New York Daily News is reporting that investigators found a shrine hidden in a camouflage tent behind Loughner¹s Tucson home. The altar contained a skull sitting on a pot filled with shriveled oranges. A row of ceremonial candles and a bag of potting soil lay nearby. Experts said all the items are elements typically featured in occult ceremonies.

"Mother" and "Father" Eliminated From Passports by Obama Administration
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered the State Department to amend a bureaucratic change that would eliminate the titles "mother" and "father" with the gender-neutral term "parent one" and "parent two" in reports of overseas births. The US has only to look to Canada to see how the expansion of political homosexual ideology in law will lead to more and more removal of traditional religious and conscience freedoms.

Light of Christ Can Overcome Abortion¹s Culture of Death
In our culture today, death is promoted as the answer to a difficult pregnancy. Death is often the response to an imperfect unborn child or an unhealthy newborn. Death is an accepted solution for persons who are sick, elderly, disabled, unwanted or abandoned. Death is legitimized for those in prison; and an expedited death is recommended for those near the end of their lives ‹ and even for those who are simply depressed. But as the Scripture reading on the Feast Day of the Holy Innocents remind us, ³This is the message that we have heard from Jesus Christ and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all² (1 John 1:5).

You Knit Me Together in My Mother's Womb

Gospel - Mk 1:29-39

29 And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. 31 And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32 And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. 35 And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. ?36 And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. 38 And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. 39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.

When now-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D–CA) was sworn in as Speaker on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8.67 trillion. By the time Pelosi surrendered the gavel to Speaker John Boehner (R–OH) yesterday, the national debt stood at $14.01 trillion. At $5.34 trillion, that means Speaker Pelosi added more than $1 trillion in debt per year during her tenure as Speaker. And yet she has the audacity to tell reporters Tuesday: “Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.”

Only someone so out of touch with reality that they could claim that “deficit reduction” has been their “highest priority” while simultaneously adding more than $1 trillion a year to the debt could possibly claim that repealing Obamacare would add to the debt. But that is exactly what Pelosi wants us to believe. Also on Tuesday she claimed that repealing Obamacare would do “very serious violence to the national debt and deficit.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

While the CBO did produce a report projecting that Obamacare could produce $124 billion of savings over its first 10 years, no honest and intelligent person believes that that score will ever become reality. Not even the CBO. CBO Director Doug Elmendorf wrote: “CBO’s cost estimate noted that the legislation maintains and puts into effect a number of policies that might be difficult to sustain over a long period of time.” Elmendorf then goes on to identify a number of specific Obamacare policies, such as arbitrary reductions in the growth rate for Medicare spending, that anyone who follows health care policy knows will be impossible to actually implement.

Speaking of arbitrary reductions in the growth rate for Medicare spending, another way Speaker Pelosi gamed the CBO to get a fantasy deficit reduction number was to ignore how Medicare pays doctors altogether. Early versions of Obamacare included a permanent “doc fix” that prevented automatic cuts to physician reimbursements under Medicare. But when Democrats couldn’t get the score to come out right with the doc fix included, they simply solved that problem by cutting it out of the legislation entirely. They have since been forced to pass two extensions of the doc fix in separate pieces of legislation. It’s super easy to claim that your health care bill doesn’t add to the deficit if you don’t bother to include payment for doctors in it.

And there are other aspects of Obamacare ‘cost controls’ that were not identified as politically suspect by CBO and are already rapidly crumbling. Not only is the individual mandate to buy health insurance being gravely challenged in the courts, but support among Democrats is also evaporating, particularly among those who have to face voters in 2012. Senator Claire McCaskill (D–MO), who is up for reelection next year, came out in favor of scrapping Obamacare’s individual mandate yesterday, telling MSNBC “There’s other ways we can get people into the pool—I hope—other than a mandate, and we need to look at that.”

Nobody expects President Barack Obama to sign a bill that would repeal his signature accomplishment as president. But that does not mean that a House repeal of Obamacare would be a waste of time. It would be a strong signal to the nation that the new House is serious about honest deficit reduction, bureaucracy reduction and putting control of health care back into the hands of American families.
