From Red State Morning Briefing

The ATM Ate Healthcare.gov - I don’t need to belabor this point, but I think it is a point worth making. Last year, Barack Obama blamed ATM’s for unemployment. In fact, Barack Obama is pretty sure that the rise of technology has caused unemployment, not his policies.  If he believes that, you’d think he’d hire a bunch of unemployed people to answer phones all day and process Obamacare manually instead of largely relying on Healthcare.gov and technology.  Surely the mass of unemployed in this country would be more efficient with pens, pads, and even mimeograph machines than a site that does not even work. Yes, he has hired some to answer phones, but he did not really put our money where his mouth is in this endeavor.

Good grief people! We can put men on the moon and send spacecraft from the 70’s into interstellar space, but in Barack Obama’s America we can’t even build a freaking website. For Pete’s sake, we put more people on the moon than signed up for Obamacare in Delaware, Kansas, and Alaska combined. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

That’s Not an Apology for Losing Health Care Insurance - Everyone is spinning that Barack Obama is apologizing for people losing their healthcare….He did not…..Listen to him…..He’s apologizing for people believing they would not lose healthcare insurance based on his statements.  That’s a pretty big difference. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

The End of Expectations - With apologies to non sports fans, allow me to introduce you to the dumbest controversy to hit America since the furor over whether John Bolton once put his hands on his hips while talking to a subordinate. I am talking, of course, about the Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito Miami Dolphins controversy.

A society cannot long survive in the complete absence of expectations about behavior in response to stimuli. If no one can ever say,  “Hey man, you need to throttle it back, as a grown adult you should be able to handle this,”without themselves being the bad guy in the situation, we may as well all pack it up and go home. We had a nice run, America, time to let someone else have a try. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

ENDA, Pathetic Amendments, and the End of the Fight for Religious Liberty - If you want a glimpse into the insufferable nature of the Senate GOP and its leaders, study this week’s legislative process over the transgendered trial lawyer employment bill (ENDA). . . . please click here for the rest of the post

The single woman society - The Virginia governor’s race was yet another example of the massive voting gap in a huge demographic: single people, particularly single women.  According to exit polls, Republican Ken Cuccinelli won handily on the hard issues facing Virginia voters, and won most other demographic slices, but Democrat Terry McAuliffe won big with single people, crushing Cuccinelli by nearly fifty points among single women . . . please click here for the rest of the post
