Wisconsin Capitol Police apply double standard when arresting Solidarity Singers and observers

No one should be arrested for exercising their Constitutionally guaranteed rights. That blacks are arrested using much greater force is not surprising, nor acceptable.

The war against Obamacare: All the rationality of a Justin Bieber fan riot, and all the restraint of “Saw VI.”


...

The arrival of Obamacare is worse than an invasion of giant zombies swinging nuclear-tipped crocodiles! Yet it lives! If only we lived in a country where citizens had the power to turn things around by voting lawmakers out of office. Like Uruguay or Latvia.

...


Actually, Ted Cruz has an answer for this. Once the law goes into effect, he told the Web site The Daily Caller, the public will be overwhelmed by its sugary sweetness — “hooked on the subsidies.” It’s the duty of Congress to take it back before people can taste it, just the way New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to whisk away high-calorie Big Gulps.

So, the message is clear. The new health care law is going to be terrible, wreaking havoc on American families, ruining their lives. And they are going to love it so much they will never have the self-control necessary to give it up.
