The Weekly Enlightenment

Happy 4th of July! Iraq and Afghanistan have taken the backseat as of late, given the domestic policies Obama is pushing, but we should always remember those who fight for us. Many have given the ultimate sacrifice and deserve our utmost gratitude and support as they continue to fight for us. Many times it seems we only honor them on holidays, which is very unfortunate. May God watch over them, and may God continue to bless the United States.

This week seemed a bit slower as far as news was concerned. My favorite comment of the entire week came from Rush Limbaugh. He said the two most meaningless words in the Obama administration are "Obama said". They do seem to be pretty unreliable. Even now, though Obama said the unemployment rate wouldn't creep beyond 8% if we passed the stimulus, the unemployment rate is 9.5%. Instead of making one think perhaps their policies aren't working, Biden came out saying they underestimated how bad the economic situation was. Seems like another veiled attempt at blaming Bush.

Health Care
* Obama pretends that costs have been rising for no good reason. Of course there is a lot more advancement, especially in technology, which is expensive. It is also funny when they say the free market has failed, when government intervention has never been worse. Let's reform it!
* Massachusetts is not a good model to copy.
* A great article about the horrors of Canadian and British health care.

Silly Liberals
* No surprise, but Obama's townhalls are staged. Worse yet, one of the participants was given a pass from the White House. Is there no level Obama won't stoop to?
* 50 reasons to stop the Waxman-Markey bill.

What Global Warming?
* The EPA tried to suppress a skeptical report regarding the science of global warming. Strange. I thought Obama was going to be a friend to science. And naturally, the U.S. media ignores it.
* Remember that the plan from Democrats has always been higher prices.
* Remember this when Al Gore and the like claim a consensus.

Iraq
* Well, the Iraqi military is taking over major cities. Naturally Obama is trying to take credit for it, as are many Democrats, though they opposed Bush every step of the way.

Around the World
* It was Zelaya, not the military, that was attempting a coup. Too bad our media won't report the details.
