NetRight Daily: Harry Reid, Health Care, Unions and More

Union Approval Ratings Plummet:  Ed Morrisey at HotAir has the story. According to Pew Research, the favorability of Unions by the people has hit a new low. Over the past three years, favorable opinions have fallen from 58% to 42%. That is a huge fall.

Where is Van Jones?:  According to the Washington Post, Van Jones will be teaching at Princeton. Aside from his work at Princeton, Jones will also be a returning to the Center for American Progress, the official hideout for Communists of the first order.

Televised Circus at 1600 Penn:  "Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up! Hurry, hurry! Here's a sight you haven't seen before: bipartisan healthcare negotiations!" That's what President Obama has been trumpeting to the American people for over two weeks now, with his healthcare summit at the historic Blair House now less than 24 hours away.

Have You No Shame, Keith?:  The Dallas Tea Party group has put out a great video calling out Keith Olbermann for his crazy remarks on a lack of diversity in the Tea Party Movement. The Dallas Tea Party has proven Keith wrong and has invited Keith to join them in Dallas to fact-check his statements. Will Keith apologize? Nope. Will Keith recognize that the lineup on his channel is actually less diverse than the Tea Party Movement? Unlikely.

NetRight Daily: Capitalism, Socialism and Communism

Capitalism, Socialism and Communism:  While the debates rage on with health care, cap-and-trade, and the overall role of government in the average American's life, economic societal terms like "capitalism," "socialism," and "communism" often get careless bandied. Many on the right feel like America is on the move towards "socialism" and many on the left believe that "capitalism" is the root of all social ills.

In a stunning video, Bertha Lews, CEO of ACORN, claims that the banks were at fault for the mortgage crisis.  This is a MUST WATCH to see just how much of a lunatic she is.

Tax the Rich?:  The rhetoric of increasing taxes on the rich has been a goal of populist presidents since FDR.  The Obama administration has pledged to increase the taxes on those making over $250,000 to fund increased social programs and a supposed middle class tax cut.  However in the past, increasing taxes on the rich has had just the opposite effect.

The $4,000 Family Health Care Tax Break's Obama Promise:  When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that his health care plan would "lower health-care costs by $2,500 for the typical family." Now, it turns out that new legislation that he supports creating public-private "co-operatives" will increase the costs of family health insurance by $4,000 by 2019.

Daily Grind: Bringing the Dollar to its Knees

Into the Abyss
With the world threatening to dump its dollar assets, has America reached the tipping point of decline?

The "Fairness" Police
Imagine a world in which all of these news outlets faced fines and the threat of being shut down if they failed to subscribe to the government's definition of "balanced" coverage.

Too Hot Not To Note: The Cost of Corporate Communism
A host from a morning show on MSNBC, Dylan Ratigan, comments on the current health care takeover and how it looks more like something that would have been created by the former Soviet Union.

NetRight Daily: Mark Lloyd, The FCC Diversity Czar

A Look at the FCC Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd:  Mark Lloyd is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Chief Diversity Officer, a.k.a. the Diversity Czar. And he has in a recently discovered bit of archive audio goodness detailed his rather disturbing perspective on race, power and the American system.

Are We All Really Health Care Collectivists Now?:  So why is virtually everyone a collectivist when it comes to health care? I do not exaggerate. Every prominent participant in the current debate over how to "reform" the medical industry approaches the issue in collectivist terms. They have differences at the margin–tax increases versus tax credits, a government-run "public option" versus subsidized nonprofit cooperatives–but there is no disagreement that "we" must have a policy.

Was Obama's Tire Tariff More Like Smoot-Hawley or Hugo Chavez?:  When Barack Obama slapped a 35 percent tariff on tires shipped from China, many people saw this move as a direct parallel with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff passed by Congress on the eve of the Great Depression. Of course, being that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff is soundly condemned by most economists for worsening the Great Depression, this is a comparison that should not be taken lightly.

Purdue Must Pay for Ayers:  In his memoir Fugitive Days, he admits planting bombs in federal buildings such as the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol ("Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," he writes). He was one of the founders of the radical terrorist group the Weather Underground. Escaping justice because of prosecutorial misconduct, he transformed himself into a respected academic, a distinguished professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago. There is perhaps no better symbol of the 1960s moral relativist than he.
