Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
William Katz has his own, very interesting, blog at Urgent Agenda. However, he saves his long posts for Power Line and this time he has a doozy about the many ways in which Obama is not JFK. Since Katz lived a life that was front and center at many historical
Continue readingObama adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski has accused American Jews of McCarthyism for being critical of Israel’s critics. He’s not the first and he won’t be the last. The pattern, repeated over and over as we learn more about Obama’s advisers, is that one of them speaks fondly of the Palestinians or
Continue reading…it should be this Jack Kelly piece about Obama’s overweening ego and offsetting intellectual failings. Just to give you a taste: Mr. Obama is a bright, handsome, personable guy who gives a good speech (when he’s working from a prepared text). But he’s never actually done much of anything. The
Continue readingMarriage is not, and never has been, a personal right. In Western society, it operates at two levels. First, it functions at a religious level. This is a deeply personal level, because in every religion, marriage is, or is equivalent to, a sacrament. In America, you have the Constitutional right
Continue readingAlan J. Lerner said it best: “Words, words, words! I’m so sick of words. I get words all day through, first from him now from you. Is that all you blighters can do?” When it comes to Jews, Ed Lasky shows just how hollow Obama’s words of love are: Barack
Continue readingI read an interesting pair of articles today — bookends, if you will — that discuss Obama’s increasingly tortured relationship with American Jews. The first, by Sabrina Leigh Schaeffer, notes two things: first, Obama’s Israel-friendly rhetoric and, second, his numerous associations with people who are openly antisemitic and actively hostile
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I tackled Obama’s incredible naiveté (or stupidity) in proposing that, if he were President, he’d just go off and have a little chat with dictators who gleefully kill their own citizens and who promise to kill the citizens of other nations. I said that the President
Continue readingThe media adored it when Ronald Reagan or Dan Quayle, or George Bush (actually both George Bushes) made gaffes. Whether they misspelled a word, got confused about a fact, or mispronounced something (or used a regional pronunciation, these gaffes were news. The old media, the TV and newspapers, trumpeted the
Continue readingTom Friedman, man of the New York Times, writes to assure American Jews that Obama is no threat whatsoever to Israel’s security. His column is a nasty little piece of work, not for what it says, but for what it doesn’t say. It opens with a series of scare quotations
Continue readingI did a post the other day about how incredibly naive Obama is if he truly believes you just sit down and chit-chat with dictators and arise from the coffee table having solved all the world’s problems. As the days go by, more and more quality writers and thinkers are
Continue reading…we’ll lay off of her. Only in Obama land can you put your wife front and center when it is convenient for you, and then, with a straight face, tell people that they cannot talk about her: Democrat Barack Obama has a message for Tennessee’s Republican Party: “Lay off my
Continue readingI can’t keep up with every perverse utterance that Obama emits so, while I got the gist of his “I’ll talk to any terrorist” statement during a debate last year, I missed the finer points of that speech. However, listening to Hugh Hewitt the other day, as Hewitt decried Obama’s
Continue readingIn two preceding post, I’ve talked about the studied incrementalism of Obama’s lies (here and here). Obama is now taking a page out of the Hillary play book on lying and simply denying, outright, easily ascertainable truths. UPDATE: And yet another blatant Obama lie — although this one may be
Continue readingDanny Lemieux sent me a link to what must be one of the clearest statements ever written about the media fetish regarding Democratic candidates generally, and Obama specifically. The author is Gerard Baker, writing in the London Times. After describing media love affairs with presidential candidates from Kennedy on up,
Continue readingIn a delightful post about how the parties choose their Presidential nominees, Patrick (the Paragraph Farmer) gives a perfect description of Barack Obama and why he may not be the savior people hope: Barack Obama has the top of the Democratic ticket all but sewn up, in spite of having
