FIVE YEARS AGO, a blast from the ObamaCare past. And I maintain the last sentence will still prove correct....

LIBERALS: "You're too stupid to be entrusted with your own life."

THE FEDERALIST: The New Sins Of ‘Nonjudgmental’ Millennials.

Skill.

WHO'D'VE THUNK IT? Religious people have rights, too.

SANDRA FLUKE: Clueless, or lying? She's a Georgetown Law graduate; she can be both.

OBAMA’S MIDDLE EAST STRATEGY bears predictable fruit. Almost exactly what I wrote.

SHOCKING (NOT): Ethanol production causes climate change. Well, not exactly. But it does exacerbate already existing water shortages due to the 2012-2013 midwest drought.

PRESCIENCE:

Barack Obama has always been openly opposed to free speech, and has always been willing, if not eager, to use the power of the state–illegally, if need be–to punish his political opponents. We had fair warning of Obama’s corrupt and tyrannical impulses in 2008. Unfortunately, not enough voters paid attention.

BARNEY FIFE MEETS DELTA FORCE: Hypermilitarized police departments are more dangerous than whatever they fight.

SHOCKER: ObamaCare's newly insured are sicker. ObamaCare is about to become much, much more expensive for taxpayers. Death spiral, anyone?

ANTI-SEMITISM and the shame of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Strong letter follows.

FROM THE COMMENTS: "Really makes me wonder about the average I. Q. of liberals."

SHORT ANSWER, NO. Should You Get Your DNA Tested to See if You’re More Likely to Get Cancer?

It's one thing to live with uncertainty; yet another to live in fear. Life is bad enough when every time you turn on the television you're deluged with health nannies (and ambulance chasers) hawking fear at every commercial opportunity.

ANOTHER CLIMATE EMBARRASSMENT: The water levels in the Great Lakes, supposedly dropping due to 'global whatever', have suddenly risen by over a foot. Unexpectedly, of course.

I suggest that it's time for another name change: from global cooling (1970's) to global warming, to climate change, to climate disruption, to ... wait for it ... climate embarrassment. The new name has the advantage of being, well, accurate.

JOHN LOTT: What the Supreme Court still doesn't understand about guns.

Another way to think about it is that a gift is a gift only when the State approves.

OBAMA-STYLE CLIMATE AND ENERGY PROGRAMS have failed everywhere they’ve been tried. Why repeat this tragedy in America?

POWERLINE: Supreme misery for the Left.

In the Hobby Lobby case, the Court held that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees. The five center-right Justices formed the majority for that proposition.

In Harris v. Quinn, the Court, again with the five center-right Justices comprising the majority, held that individuals home health care workers cannot be required to pay dues to public employee unions, as they are not really public employees. The Court did not overrule past precedent holding that the First Amendment allows the government to condition a person’s employment in the public sector on that person’s paying fees to a union.

Almost a complete victory for the Right. My guess is that the past precedent of conditioning a person's employment in the public sector on that person's paying fees to a union will be under attack very soon.

WHEN POLITICS PRECEDES POWER, the result is weakness and war.

Chou En-lai (1898-1976), the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, recognizing the obvious, has been was quoted as saying “diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means”. In other words, without a credible threat of force to back it up, diplomacy is merely whining.

ANOTHER WIN: Supreme Court backs Hobby Lobby.

HOT DAMN! Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has ruled that unions cannot force nonunion members to pay dues.

Now to take on the rest of the government unions....

WHY SCOTUS'S Harris v. Quinn Case has unions terrified. Later today we should know....

PELOSI: surge of illegal immigrant children an ‘opportunity’. Yes, America needs more 'guest voters'. In Red states.

POUR YOUR HEART IN IT. Just not your money; use other people's money instead.
