ON OBAMACARE. Gov. Christie's advice to Obama on the healthcare rollout: "own up to it and apologize for it." Obama's response: I'm sorry my minions did exactly what I told them to do....

CALIFORNIA STRENGTHENS GUN CONTROL; crime spikes. But of course there's no correlation ... unless crime drops.

THE RACE CARD ISN'T WORKING, so let's play the 'I know nothing' card.

WHY SHOULD IT BE 'EITHER'? Obama Either Knew that Healthcare.gov Wouldn’t Work or He Is Keeping Incompetent Liars On His Payroll.

THOMAS SOWELL: A cautionary note for Tea Party conservatives.

I'm still of the 'throw all the bastards out' persuasion, but Sowell is a conservative leader whose advice is worth taking seriously.

WHAT WILL AMERICA LOOK LIKE AFTER OBAMA?

Sadly, more like a banana republic than the constitutional republic envisioned by the Framers in 1787. The country will be virtually bankrupt -- our national debt already exceeds our Gross Domestic Product -- and the populace will be at the ruling class' mercy. America's status as a world superpower will be just a memory.

Read it all.

THE PURPOSE of increasing the minimum wage is to keep the nonproductive voting Democrat. That's not the direct argument, but it's the gist.

BACK TO THE SUPREMES? ObamaCare law has an origination problem. It's a convoluted argument, but I'll take anything that will kill ObamaCare for good.

INSTAPUNDIT: Decolonization came too soon. And it's too late to recolonize....

OBAMACARE: the gift that keeps on giving (Democrats fits). Republicans should just shout "Timber!" and stand back.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Moral Decline of Oprah.

“There’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African American. There’s no question about that and it’s the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody’s thinking it.”

If 'nobody ever says' how does Oprah know what 'everybody's thinking'? This is the most infuriating aspect of liberalism -- the utter certainty that whatever they believe must necessarily be so.

Their 'reality' is that of Alice's Wonderland.

POWERLINE: Is Obama "too stupid to make any contribution to saving his own skin?" The evidence suggests that not only is he 'too stupid to save his own skin', that his advisers are as well.

THE BRIGHT SIDE: "The collapse of Obamacare, of which we have seen only the beginning, is a rare teaching opportunity."

It assumes, of course, that liberals are capable of learning. The evidence in favor of that is slim indeed.

REALLY? Bigger Government Doesn’t Mean Better Governing.

OBAMACARE: the Vasa of our times.

ERIC HOLDER appeals Congressional holding of contempt. Perhaps the judiciary can prevent Congress from holding him in contempt, but it cannot prevent me from doing so.
