Saturday Clips of the Week

Jon and Stephen continue to bring us news and laughs. This Wednesday they were in especially good form, and we've brought you the highlights.

It's time to wake up

The time is ripe for comprehensive immigration reform. There are calls to action from all sides; from liberals, conservatives, faith leaders, business leaders, and more. Furthermore, three House Republicans — David Valadao, R-CA, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-FL, and Jeff Denham, R-CA — have recently announced their support for H.R. 15, a bill that parallels the immigration bill passed by the Senate in June.

Universal Health Care and Freedom

One of the claims made most often about the Affordable Care Act or even the push for universal health care is that America will lose its status as a bastion of economic freedom.

But this line of conventional thinking is flawed. One example why is the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. The Heritage Foundation is the most prestigious conservative think tank in Washington D.C. The Heritage Foundation annually provides an index that rates countries based on a broad array of items related to economic freedom spanning four categories: rule of law, limited government, regulatory efficiency and open markets.
