Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
With increasing frequency, we hear reports about the Left’s growing disaffection with Obama. The media, for example, is hostile to the fact that Obama doesn’t even bother to hide his disdain for them. This is not just media pique resulting from unreasonably high expectations. Obama is quite explicit about his
Continue readingFrom the Heritage Foundation: According to best estimates, the collapsed Deepwater Horizon oil rig is pumping about 210,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico every day. But don’t worry, President Barack Obama has appointed an “independent” commission to investigate the spill. Our federal government will post an estimated
Continue readingJonah Goldberg may be a bit too generous to Obama, but he sure is funny: I was on Fox News recently and was asked to debate the proposition that Obama’s candidate endorsements are the “kiss of death.” My response: No, they aren’t the kiss of death, but they certainly aren’t

Continue readingIt’s not Memorial Day yet, but it’s time to start thinking about it, and this beautiful video, by wordsmith at Flopping Aces, is a good place to start. Be prepared with a hankie, though, ’cause you’ll need it. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=058VyI89QoQ[/youtube] I just want to add one thing now that you’ve spent
Continue readingPresidents get photographed hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of time. Each photograph captures a mere moment. Some are flattering; some less so. Many, however, go on to become iconic. My generation, the 1970s generation, is deeply imprinted with this photo of Richard Nixon flashing the victory sign: Then there is
Continue readingJ.C. Arenas on the laundry list of qualifications for Obama’s Supreme Court picks: Obama’s first Supreme Court appointment was Sonia Sotomayor, the Bronx-bred daughter of Puerto Rican parents, who supposedly was a valedictorian student with a deficiency in English and become an Ivy-League educated jurist credited with saving Major League
Continue readingNever assume stupidity when malevolence can apply — words that aptly characterize the Obama administration’s approach to Israel. Evelyn Gordon takes a look at the new “proximity” talks between Israel and the Palestinians, talks that no one expects to yield any results. After all, the predicate is that the Obama

Iranian strategy has been to move its missile assets

Read between the lines (and make it almost to the end of the article), though, and you’ll see the truth peek out: Bush, the quintessential “white man,”
Continue readingAm I suffering from historical amnesia, or is this the first time in American history that an administration has made a coup attempt against an ally? The administration of President Barack Obama has launched what officials termed a psychological warfare campaign meant to topple Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Sources

Continue readingA brief history: Obama promised that the health care debate was so important, it would be carried on C-SPAN. That did not happen. Obama promised that any proposed bill on health care would be placed on a website for public comment far in advance of the vote. That did not
Continue readingA lot of you read the same things I do, so maybe one of you knows where I can find an excellent opinion piece I read the other day urging the Obama administration to stop providing nuclear educations for Iranian engineers. Iran, after all, has committed itself to our imminent
Continue readingYou know the story: Obama has informed the world that we won’t use our nuclear weapons unless some rogue regime strikes. Aside from the fact that he’s now tacitly admitted that he’s not going to stop Iran from going nuclear, he’s also announced to every nuclear nation in the world
