Day 8: Small businesses fret over ObamaCare - America under ObamaCare:
Small-business owner Joe Ascioti says Massachusetts' 2006 health care law has left him facing $15,000 in fines since it took effect. Now, he's worried the nation's new health care overhaul could bring similar woes to employers nationwide.
'The state has mandated something that is one size fits all, which is what this national bill is looking like. And guess who gets to pay for it? The employer,' said Ascioti.
As business owners across the country weigh the new law, they're looking to Massachusetts for harbingers of things to come."

Henry Waxman: The Witch Hunter of Capitol Hill - Michelle Malkin on National Review Online:
Has there ever been a time when 18-term liberal Democratic congressman Henry Waxman’s nostrils weren’t flaring indignantly at corporate executives and entrepreneurs? The man wields his gavel over the free market like a Damoclean sword. He throws the weight of his congressional chairmanship around like a sumo wrestler walking across hot stones. For more than 35 years, Waxman has made it his taxpayer-funded business to use the power of government to undermine private enterprise."

The Hostility Follies - Jonah Goldberg on National Review Online:
Apparently there’s a self-proclaimed militia leader named Mike Vanderboegh who runs an obscure, low-traffic blog out of Pinson, Ala. (population 5,007). Mr. Vanderboegh recently called on his fellow “sons of liberty” to break the windows of Democrats to protest health-care reform.
Let’s start with the obvious: Vanderboegh is an idiot, and anyone who followed his advice is an idiot, too. These people are buffoons, not just because such tactics help Democrats but because such behavior is simply wrong, reprehensible, and clownish."

On the 'Today' show this Tuesday, President Obama claimed the massive government takeover of health care the Democrats passed without a single Republican vote was a 'middle of the road' bill that incorporated many Republican ideas.
One Republican idea allegedly incorporated into the Democrats' health care monstrosity is 'medical malpractice reform.' Needless to say, the Democrats' idea of malpractice reform is less than nothing. Until trial lawyers are screaming bloody murder, there has been no medical malpractice reform."

Reuters AlertNet - U.S. Democrats lie low after healthcare victory:
LOS ANGELES, April 1 (Reuters) - The week after passing landmark healthcare reform and handing President Barack Obama an important victory, members of the U.S. Congress returned to their home districts for a recess to face constituents and justify their votes after the bruising legislative battle.
While Obama made flying visits across the country to tout the new legislation, a number of key Democrats, who led the charge for healthcare reform, seemed to keep a low profile and are doing little to beat the drum."

� Who’s Really Behind the Glenn Beck Boycott? - Big Journalism:
Boycotts could be considered an All American protest. The act of refusing to purchase the goods or services of a targeted product pre-dates the republic, with angry colonists refusing to buy tea following the British Parliament’s enactment of the 1773 Tea Act. What made this boycott so extraordinary is that tea was not simply an item on the shelf of colonial cupboards; it was a staple, a part of the culture that English settlers brought with them to the New World."
