Jesus Christ spoke the words that are the caption of this post. As I understand it, he was speaking about the transience of his time on this earth, as opposed to some of the more permanent features of life on earth, such as poverty.
Even Christ, though, couldn’t have anticipated the fact that Barack Obama would [...]

I caught a few minutes of last night’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart, during which Stewart amused himself by taking potshots at a very big target: CPAC. I haven’t paid much attention to CPAC, so I can’t and therefore won’t comment on whether his shots were righteous or dishonest. If you’d like to know more [...]

The American intelligentsia has a love affair with Communism that will not die. The dead Soviets, the dead Hungarians, Czechs, Albanians, Poles, Bulgarians, etc., the dead Chinese, the dead Koreans, the dead Africans, the dead Cambodians, the dead Vietnamese, the dead Cubans, and the dead Latin Americans are all irrelevant. Those are just mistakes from [...]

American Thinker is a site I check regularly, at least twice a day. It’s not just that the editors are kind enough to publish my work occasionally. It’s because the articles that appear there routinely range from really good to out-of-the-park stupendous.
Today, there are two that fall in the latter category. These are the kinds [...]

I don’t normally follow film critics to get my political information, so I missed what Roger Ebert wrote back in August to explain why Obama Care is a good thing. Had I read it then, I would have learned that of course it’s socialized medicine — and that’s a good thing. In a lengthy post [...]

Is Obama telling a true story or not? I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell. It doesn’t matter, though. What does matter is that, by relaying this anecdote, Obama is keeping alive the Obama/Hitler analogy:
President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last night, discussing false claims made about [...]

Mark Steyn is on to Obama’s game:
But, for the sake of argument, let us concede the president’s current number of 30 million [represents the president's decision to delete 17 million illegals from his count]. In order to do something for the 10 percent of the population outside the current system, why is it necessary to [...]

Got this in an email from Richard Baehr:
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said [...]

As you may recall, I was both impressed and dismayed by the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics. I’ll quote the point I made that comes back again in this post:
They were gorgeous. They also reminded me very strongly of the public spectacles that socialist countries have always loved: vast numbers of people moving in [...]

Terry Sater writes about the fact that, coddled by loving euphemisms, Americans are marching headlong into the same dreadful socialist experiment that failed all over Europe — a failure that took place within the lifetime of every single American voter. This is not a case of a few centuries or even decades having dimmed the [...]

The Danube is a very angry river — it's flooding all over the Balkans:
Thousands of people have fled their homes or were facing evacuation in Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania as emergency workers struggled to hold back record floodwaters along the Danube river.
With melting snow and heavy spring rain swelling the river to its highest levels [...]

Mike Adams wrote a great column today declaring his independence to act precisely as his students do: rude, careless, and irresponsible, just because it feels good. The reductio ad absurdum of this selfishness, of course, is what’s going on in France, where the students are perfectly happy to see the economy crater rather than to [...]
