Always and everywhere, Liberals and groups like Acorn, claim that they support and work for the little guys, the downtrodden, the discriminated-against, the oppressed, the have-nots of society.

The Real View from Israel
Here is the link to an essay by Ricochet Contributor Judith Levy. She is in Israel, where rockets rain down on her family and friends daily. If you can read this without weeping, you have no heart. And if you can read this without getting very, very angry, you have no soul. I am sitting …
OBAMA FAVORS EVIL
Read this, from today's Jerusalem Post. You may be shocked, but I'm not. Author Caroline Glick tells it like it is. Here are the salient points: OTL supports Hamas in its crusade to obliterate the state of Israel from the face of the Earth. Kerry's "truce" proposal would have given Hamas everything it wants. The …
The Natural Order of Things
My hero, Rush Limbaugh, likes to point out that, through much of human history, the natural order of things in our world has been tyranny and misery. Since humans started to live in groups, the vast majority of people have led lives that were "nasty, brutish, and short". Until very recently, human life-expectancy has been …

But we can now announce that the very BEST Conservative blog site, Ricochet.com, is now on WordPress! It has taken a while for the powers-that-be at Ricochet to get the bugs worked out of the new site, …

Let’s Do the Washington State Medicaid Math
The State of Washington was one of the Blue states that built their own ObamaCare Exchange, and wholeheartedly expanded their Medicaid program (with the admittedly temporary increase in Federal funding).
