Cao, appearing on "WDSU News at 4," said he could still vote "yes" on a health care reform package that was more restrictive on abortions.He said his office has been flooded with calls and visits from those on both sides of the health care issue."We have people knocking at our doors, we have groups coming in, lobbying," he said.

I think I have a handle on it, but I'd especially like Texas Freepers to weigh in, especially with any very recent developments I should know about. Is there still a move to make all U.S. history instruction start at 1877, or has that been killed?

I have to fess up: back here in August I predicted that health care was a done deal, and that all that remained was a “dance” to see which Dems would get to opt out for their own reelection purposes. Well, in a matter of a month, a historic election in Massachusetts and the weak knees of several Dems in both the House and Senate make it appear that we may be on the verge of killing socialized medicine in America. It’s not “in the books” yet—don’t celebrate—but I’ll be all too happy to...

I couldn't respond to every single person, but I read them all and am honored that you watched. A Patriot's History of the United States was #19 on Amazon last I looked, second only to Zinn.

But beware: we haven't "won" anything yet. I do think the Dems are too smart to hold up Brown's nomination. That ain't the problem: they are going to try to pass health care now with 51 votes, something that I think was sealed with Voinovich's meeting the other day with Obama over the "budget," where Voino insisted he wouldn't vote for health care. So apparently Obama... self http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2432921/posts#comment Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:24:40 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2414402/posts Folks, I hate to be a perpetual gloomster here, but anyone putting his faith in a Supreme Court reversal of any of this health non-care monstrosity has another think coming. First, the USSC seldom rules in favor of constitutionally limited government. Even in the Affirmative Action slapdown of the University of Michigan several years ago, the Court said in essence, “what you’re doing is wrong the way you’re doing it, but try other methods to reach racial balance.” In the notorious Kelo case, the Court affirmed the right of a local government to take land from one person and give...

Second, if the answer is yes, then where is the money going and why do we have no inflation? We do not have rapidly growing production and employment, so we cannot have an equality of "dollars and goods." Therefore if we have "too many goods chasing too few dollars," where is the (what should be dramatic) price increases?

A month or so ago, I asked in a column here, "What if They Don't Care?" The gist was that either a) Obama had promised "blue dogs" or Dems in tough districts that he would send in ACORN and ensure their re-election if they voted for "health non-care" (HNC) or b) would give them admin jobs if they lost. If they could just build the "doomsday machine," sure they might lose their seat in 2010 . . . but would have it back in 2012 and probably never...
