It’s Official, Millennials: The White House Thinks You’re Stupid
It’s Official, Millennials: The White House Thinks You’re Stupid
Dec 10, 2025 7:57 AM

The Affordable Care Act [ACA] has seen more than it’s share of disasters. The clunky website got off to a horrendous start, the “fixes” didn’t work, Kathleen Sebelius got raked over the coals (“Don’t do this to me!”) at a House hearing, and not enough young people are signing up.

The solution? The White House has created an “ACA Bracket” (Get it? Huh? Get it?) site where young folks can go and vote for their favorite GIFs and then head on over to HealthCare.gov and get signed up.

How bad is this website? The word es to mind, as in “If this is the best our government can do, we are doomed.”

There’s a dancing duck proclaiming “I’m so excited” about free birth control, a cat in a tux with a disco-glitter background telling you about rebates, and Michelle Obama “raisin’ the roof” with some woman in mom jeans. Horrifying, absolutely horrifying. (And I’ve seen “The Shining.” Twice.)

There are a couple of takeaways here. First, Millennials, it is clear that the White House thinks you are stupid. You could not possibly read a thoughtfully written piece on what the ACA has to offer you. Nope, your attention span is too short, and the only thing you’ll pay attention to is pictures of cats.

Second, the White House is desperate. Not only does this website look like it was designed by a 5th-grader, it practically screams, “Help! Sign up! We’re dying over here!”

Finally, the White House is hoping you won’t notice a few things. Like, a thoughtful young woman is reduced to a dancing duck over free birth control. Or that “twerking” is the best selling point for the ACA. Or that the entire website reeks of frantic distress.

Yup, Millennials: the White House thinks you’re stupid. Show them you’re not.

The Moral Case for Conservatism
Lee Habeeb and Mike Leven explain why it’s essential to make the moral case for conservatism: If there is a single reason why conservatives continue to lose the battle of ideas, it’s because we don’t make the moral case for freedom and free markets. Our political class instead makes the economic case for our philosophy. Our smart guys are so impressed with their own intelligence, they think we can win the debate using numbers and data, charts and graphs, and...

So God Made Paul Harvey
Last night millions of young Super Bowl viewers were introduced to one of the most influential conservatives in modern America. And it was done with mercial.

But the true pioneer and undisputed king of conservative radio is Paul Harvey, a man who...

Belief Without Action: Becoming a Shell of Who You Are
“The Constitution protects your right to believe and worship, not force your beliefs on others.” That’s a response Acton received via Twitter regarding a blog post on the HHS Mandate. This type of statement is a typical one in our society: you can believe whatever you want, but don’t force your beliefs on anyone else. Religious belief and worship should be a wholly private affair; bringing your beliefs into the public square constitutes “forcing” them onto others. In the latest...
