Speaking of Polls:

John Hinderaker: Hill Poll Results Grim For Obama

Another question in the survey was whether the Supreme Court will uphold Obamacare. This was not a question about the respondent’s preference, but rather a prediction about what the court will do. The result was striking:

Court will rule Obamacare unconstitutional: 49%
Court will uphold health care law: 29%
Not sure: 22%

I am firmly in the “not sure” camp, but it is interesting to see how many voters both want Obamacare repealed (according to other polls) and expect the Supreme Court to strike it down (according to this one).

Polls, who to belive:

As Health Care Law’s Trial Approaches, Two-Thirds Say Ditch Individual Mandate (Washington Post/ABC)

This ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that Americans oppose the law overall by 52-41 percent. And 67 percent believe the high court should either ditch the law or at least the portion that requires nearly all Americans to have coverage.

Affordable Care Act approaches birthday, Supreme Court challenge

The Kaiser Family Foundation’s recent poll on the act showed that on the eve of the Supreme Court hearing arguments against the act, 42 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the reform, while 46 had an unfavorable view.

Waiting for President Obama’s phone call

That would be Bristol Palin

And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture. I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.

But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.” (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)

If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.

Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women. You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.

But…

What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women… even if they’re just single moms? Even if they’re Republicans?

No need to worry, that would be called LEADERSHIP

Glenn Reynolds:

Interesting that the Dems thought they had a big winner on this whole “war against women” thing, but it’s the people on the right who are gleefully keeping it alive now . . . .

As Glenn would say, Indeed.

Thought you could keep your (health) coverage?

That IS what Obama said. Think again.

As many as 20 million Americans could lose the health insurance they now receive from their employers under President Obama’s new health care reforms, a report released Thursday shows.

But the report from the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation said 20 million would be the worst-case scenario and that it’s possible that the number of people losing their current employer-provided insurance wouldn’t exceed 5 million between 2019 and 2022.

The agencies warned, however, that they can’t really be sure how many people will lose their current coverage if the law is rolled out as planned in a few years

In case you forgot… (you only need to watch the first 30 seconds)

Rand Simberg weighs in on the “war on women” and the Left

The Left’s Long-Time War on Women

Concluding…

So when you see a White House staffed with people nurtured in such a radical environment, as Barack Obama himself was, it shouldn’t be surprising at all to see the old Leftist misogyny and sexism (and lies and projection) continue. It’s in the movement’s DNA. So when they talk about a war on women, it should be pretty tough for anyone knowledgeable to take them seriously. Unfortunately, that category probably doesn’t yet include the mainstream media.

Unfortunately

Sarah A Hoyt: Let me tell you what war is, okay?

Excerpt of her rant. Read the whole thing.

War is where the enemy decimates your numbers – like, say in China where abortion is killing mostly females.

War is where you are kept from learning – like in most Arab countries, where women have restrictions placed on their education.

War is where your houses are burned, your children taken away into slavery, your goods looted, and you are dragged away in chains.

In the United States, right now, women have preferential treatment – by law – in any company that gets federal funds (which heaven help us, right now, is most of them.) Women live longer than men. Cancers that affect females get more money and more attention than those that affect only men. Women have the right to be sole deciders on abortion, and if they decide to keep the child and make the man pay, he pays. (This by the way is a complete reversal of the “penalty” of sex which used to fall mostly on women.) And if he doesn’t pay, he goes to jail. Divorce courts award custody to mothers overwhelmingly. Oh, and in college campuses, women outnumber men.

If this is war it is war on men. And I’ve had just about enough of everyone who claims otherwise.

Oh, and she’s not done, much more inflammatory rhetoric, at least from the progressvie point of view, follows.

…But from here on in I am looking for ways to help right thinking businesses.

Glenn Reynolds: This seems to be a trend.

I’m a long-time reader who usually has no time or patience for social activists or activism. I find staying out of one another’s way works best. But even I have reached a point where I realize Edmund Burke was right and standing aside is no answer. All I’ve done is cancel my HBO account. But from here on in I am looking for ways to help right thinking businesses.

So why isn’t the mainstream media asking him what he means, that he’s generally proud of our troops?

Thus the courage of the secular left: If you’re going to be “provocative”, it’s best to do it with people who can’t be provoked.

Mark Steyn…

Thus the courage of the secular left: If you’re going to be “provocative”, it’s best to do it with people who can’t be provoked. Pamela is right. If you want to be treated with respect by The New York Times and the rest of the multiculti establishment, make it clear you’re willing to kill them. That’s an interesting message to send.

Yes… it is.

Chris Rock: Thin Skinned

Tea Party.

“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and write Hollywood Hypocrites.”

Earth to Chris Rock: Anger management is in your future.

Apparently I’m not the only blogger the anger management idea occurred to.

View video here. Of course, it IS great publicity for Jason Matera’s book isn’t it? (no link on Amazon yet).

If you want this flag: Liberals, get to a 12 step program stat!

The Democratic Party in Lake County Florida felt this need to create a new flag.

JWF (Jammie Wearing Fool) recommends…

Liberals, get to a 12 step program stat! I have never seen this sort of hero worship in my half century of living that didn’t wind up with folks drinking poisoned Kool Aid. No man is greater then the country itself and defacing the symbol of that once great country to engage in your worship of a guy who gives good teleprompter is truly disturbing.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Added, once again from JWF…

To the veterans of Lake County Florida, thank you for once again standing up for your country.
