Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Obama refuses to release his birth certificate. I’m with the Campaign Spot in believing that it shows nothing more than some embarrassment about the fact that his birth name was a Motown sounding Barry, rather than the hip, foreign sounding Barack. Be that as it may, given that a prerequisite
Continue readingFrederick Kagan has a fascinating comparison of the specific Iraq policy plans McCain and Obama advanced before the Surge. McCain actually envisioned a surge-like event, and described all the positive benefits that would flow from it — and his predictions proved to be completely accurate. Obama, of course, demanded retreat
Continue readingThanks to LGF, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Obama has plans for his predecessors, and they should worry all of us. Thomas Lifson, harking back to other plans Obama has expressed, and the media world ignored, explains why: Barack Obama’s plan for imposing unity on the nation after he takes
Continue readingI first became aware of Kyle-Anne Shiver as an occasional contributor at American Thinker. She’s now writing much more than occasionally, and she’s expanding her venues beyond the American Thinker. This is a good thing for all of us, as she’s a solid researcher and a wonderful writer. I therefore
Continue readingThere is an absolutely staggering editorial in today’s Washington Post — it admits that, John Rockefeller’s “official” indictment to the contrary, Bush did not lie. If anything, Rockefeller, in his official Senate Intelligence Committee report is lying by reaching conclusions at odds with his own evidence: Search the Internet for
Continue readingMy dog is the sweetest dog in the world — and totally submissive. When you call her, she comes running, then drops into a submissive crouch, body canted slightly sideways, to show that I can do with her as I will. She trusts me not to harm her. Unfortunately, Obama
Continue readingBritain’s Telegraph has three interesting articles, and the London Times one: Read about the vast difference between Britain’s and France’s socialized medicine. I’d certainly like to know what accounts for the difference before I start making changes to the American system. Color me skeptical, but I bet Obama, who shows
Continue readingI’m sure you won’t be surprised that many Obama supporters are new-fashioned Moonbat, Leftist antisemites. What you may be surprised to learn is that Obama’s official blog (not some sycophantic blog that an Obama groupie sets up on his own initiative) plays host to some of the worst antisemitic canards
Continue readingOne would think that, now that the candidates for both parties are known, both of their vice-presidential choices would be the issue. How naive I am. In media-land, there’s really only one party running for the White House — the Democrats and some sort of vaguely known, but not really
Continue readingObama has been doing his darndest to tie himself to the Kennedy’s, right down to hiring Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg for his Vice President investigation committee. Hillary, inartfully, also made the Kennedy-Obama link with her references to June assassinations. (What was the woman thinking? She was historically accurate, but she must
Continue readingFrom the teleprompter, that is. The guy’s oratorical skills decline rapidly without a script, don’t they? He makes Dan Quayle look like the prodigy of extemporaneous speaking. Clearly, this guy needs a little less blind adulation, and a little more time at Toastmasters. I have said all along that Obama
Continue readingI’ve been hearing a lot about trophy wives lately, since I recently learned that, in one of the very affluent communities near me, the nouveau riche, desperate as always to assert their status on the social hierarchy, have begun wife swapping. Apparently it just wasn’t good enough any more to
Continue readingWe know that Obama is just like any other human being, only perhaps more flawed. Aside from being your average bright law school grad, he smells bad in the morning (or so his wife says); he speaks his mind even when there’s nothing in it; he hangs around with some
Continue readingMona Charen provides ample evidence proving that the 61% of American Jews who claim to support both Israel and Obama are suffering from dangerous cognitive dissonance — and she didn’t even include the mere 24 hours it took for Obama to flip-flop on Jerusalem.
Continue readingThe award for the best opening in any article (at least for today), has to go to Jonah Goldberg: Is Barack Obama the Messiah? Before we answer that question, let me vent for a moment. In 2000 I was cruelly denied the Pulitzer despite being the only columnist in America
