The Weekly Enlightenment

Sorry this one is so late. My brother and his girlfriend came to visit me and I wanted him to stay an extra day so I didn't get this done within the normal time frame I would have.

President Obama is simply exhausting to follow. This is a general trend with leftists as well. Everything is political and anything is an excuse to inject politics. They are relentless as well. Never stopping.

One always hears about Democrats needing to repackage their message. While health care reform is very unpopular (Obama's version of it), Democrats maintain they only need to repackage their message. Which makes it so that it is the voters' fault for not understanding. In the nice version. In the not-so-nice one, it means voters are too stupid to know what Democrats were saying. If they truly understood, Democrats claim, they would be on board.

MUST READ
* Democrats keep attacking those who produce. This time they are going after insurance companies.
* Big companies love big government.
* Can someone tell me how this is possible? Democrats have supermajorities in both Houses of Congress as well as the Presidency. Amazingly even after being soundly defeated last year (and many on the left claiming the GOP was dead), the GOP apparently holds limitless power.
* Most people probably wouldn't have a problem with a secret terrorist assassination program even if it were true.
* What happened to the anti-war movement? I've noticed this before as well, but it dropped off the radar once Obama became President. Either no one is protesting or the media dropped their coverage of it.

Health Care
* Canadians are ready to reform their system, which has been held up as an example of how health care reform can work.
* It is easy to foresee what government health care would evolve in to. We already have examples.
* Coulter is right. Best way to lower prices is to make insurance companies compete. Too bad Obama's lies are propagated by the media without any question.
* Any threat against the President should be taken seriously, though the media was silent when the threats were against Bush.

Giving Up Liberty
* The Brits are already giving up liberty under the guise of political correctness.

Environmentalism
* Many environmentalists don't seem to understand it is technology and capitalism that allow more civilized life possible as well as not polluting as much.
* Environmentalism for the hardcore is not about truth. It is about power and control.
