Panic is in full display as Democrats and liberals realize that some of the newly recognized problems of the Affordable Care Act could create millions of new Republican voters in 2016.

Ideology, and in this case religious ideology, creates jihadis and terrorists. But Obama and his State Department continue to think that the root cause of all evil is that government hasn’t done enough.

Merrill Matthews said the president opposes Keystone because he is beholden to environmentalists.
