• Letter to a Sincere Leftist, December 20
"Let us join together, the pro-free-market right and the far left marching arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder to beat this bill. Our motives are different, but this is an issue on which we can find common ground: the unholy merger of state power and big corporations."

• The Pledge, December 13
"Those of us who oppose the bill have tried threatening Democratic senators with a negative incentive: the withdrawal of our votes and our active support for their opponents. How about enticing them with a positive incentive?"

• "Do You Want Your Child to Learn the Rules?" April 27
Published at RealClearPolitics
"Do we want to live in a society where the state has such a predominant role that you get live a decent life if you know the rules?"

• A Moral Reform Movement for Liberty, June 8
"We [the tea party movement] should think of ourselves as a moral reform movement. We're like the temperance movement, except that we're out to sober up politicians who have become drunk on government power and addicted to taxpayer money."

• The New Third Rail, July 27
Published at RealClearPolitics
"The so-called 'public option' is an attempt to crowd out private health insurance by luring people into government-subsidized insurance. But it turns out that Obama's legislation contains provisions that will kill private health insurance directly."

• Obama's War on Health Insurance, August 4
Published at RealClearPolitics
"The goal of the Democrats' plan for health-care reform is coming more and more out into the open: they want to eliminate health insurance."

• Contempt for the Governed, August 7
"The Democrats tried persuasion—and they couldn't find any buyers for their agenda. So now, like French aristocrats sneering at the rabble gathered outside their palaces, they are raining down contempt and abuse on their own constituents."

• 20 Questions for Your Congressman, August 10
Published at Jewish World Review
"As a guide to help you prepare for your local town hall meeting, here are my suggestions for 20 questions you can ask your elected representatives about the economics, history, politics, and morality of Obama's health-care plan."

• Whose Life Is It, Anyway? August 14
"The basic moral premise behind the health-care bill is that your medical care is the business of 'society.'"

• The Health-Care Bureaucracy-Formation Bill, August 19
Published at Jewish World Review
"But don't be fooled by attempts to compromise and water down this bill, because the fundamental issue is not any one specific provision in it. The issue is the very existence of the new government health-care bureaucracy it would create."

• Brother, You Ain't My Keeper, August 25
Published at Jewish World Review
"This is the real moral essence of the often-noted condescension of the left. Their attitude is: you, the average citizen, are helpless and lost, unable to care for yourselves or make your own decisions. You need a keeper."

• Paging Dr. Galt, September 1
"Much of the debate over the health-care bill starts and stops in the wrong place. It dwells on the experiences of health-care consumers—but the story actually begins with the producers of health care, the doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies."

• The Seven Big Lies of Obama's Speech, September 9
Published at RealClearPolitics
"This is what Obama's supposed gift for rhetoric amounts to: the ability to tell a smoothly polished bald-faced lie."

• Save the Private Option, October 1
Published at RealClearPolitics
"The creation of public health insurance was never the real heart of Obamacare. The real essence of Obama's agenda is the destruction of private health insurance."

• Morality Ends Where a Gun Begins, October 8
Published at Jewish World Review
"When it comes to morality in politics, there is no substitute for the moral vision—still radical, two centuries later—of our Founding Fathers: the subordination of government to the principle of individual rights."

• Britain's Death Panels, October 19
Published at RealClearPolitics
"Just as America is debating whether to give the government a dominant role in health care, Britain is agonizing over the horrific consequences of just such a government-controlled system."

• Taxing Us for Breathing, October 29
"This is a whole new evil: a tax levied on you just because you exist. Our political leaders are taxing us for breathing."

• The Kamikaze Congress, November 11
"It is absurd and astonishing that 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall capitalism is still considered the enemy—an enemy so evil that it is worth crashing a congressional majority into it and going up in the flames of a disastrous bill, just to destroy it."

• The Health Care Berlin Wall, November 12
"Health insurance will no longer be an individual choice any more, it will be a societal obligation, mandated by law and the threat of force from the state, and attempted escape will put you behind walls with armed guards keeping you there threatening deadly force if you try to leave."

• A Letter to My Senator
"If you vote for this bill in any form, I will campaign for your opponent in the next election—I'll give money and take time off from work, if I have to, to canvas neighborhoods or make phone calls for ANYONE who runs against you."

• The Vicious Heart of Obamacare, December 7
Published at RealClearPolitics, read by Rush Limbaugh
"If the left's goal is to impose socialized medicine in America, this bill does it in the most callous and destructive way possible."
