Outrage Called For

Although National Review's Mona Charen piece could have listed additional equivocations, the Obamacare experience has shown that increasingly glorious ends justify absolutely any means whatsoever. "Lying for justice," indeed. Historically, we understood the game and would look the other way and wink when politicians stretched the truth a bit. But when Washington tries to nationalize - no longer your grandfather's definition, but the modern American equivalent via systemic control - one sixth of the U.S. economy, and the sales job is so blatantly fraudulent, outrage is a necessary but still insufficient reaction to restore order and confidence in government. We've been played! November 4, 2014 can't get here too soon, but will it be too late?

Delusional Pelosi

In her cringe-inducing interview with NBC's David Gregory on Meet the Press Sunday (11/17/2013), Nancy Pelosi (still the Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives) lists the reasons we should continue to embrace Obamacare. She avoids the several now-revealed lies used to bolster support for the bill in the run-up to passage and afterwards, but introduces a remarkable new justification: Americans will have "liberty to pursue their happiness and not be chained by a policy." Say what? Take five seconds and read that again. Last week's many displays of Democrat panic are caused by the realization, much too late, that reality cannot be ignored. But this line - indeed, the entire interview segment - moves beyond talking point tactics of strategic deception or even Orwellian doublespeak. It is delusional.
