Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
England is not one of my favorite places anymore, because of the raging antisemitism that characterizes her politics and her street. Nevertheless, she is our ally and has been our staunch ally for more than a century. For Obama to abandon her over the Falklands is disgusting. At Power Line,
Continue readingHear me out. Sure, the public is indignant about our current state of affairs, especially the mushrooming deficits that have pretty much sealed our national bankruptcy (in my humble opinion). What worries me, though, is what needs to be done to fix the problem. I personally don’t see any solution
Continue readingI don’t believe Obama is a believing Muslim, just the way I don’t believe he is a believing Christian. I think he has two religions: Socialism and self-worship. Nevertheless, I do think that many in the Muslim world are pretty darn certain that, when Obama lived as a child in
Continue readingJames Taranto makes an interesting suggestion: In the coming months, Obama is going to try to make Republicans look good so that, in November, one-party rule ends and he can tack to the center, more or less guaranteeing himself a second term. What do you think? Does Taranto make a
Continue readingAs part of a larger opinion piece giving thanks that America is still un-European enough to resist Obama’s European-izing efforts, Jonathan Rosenbloom has this to say about the modern European character: In A State Beyond the Pale: Europe’s Problem with Israel, Robin Shepherd analyzes the cast of mind that predisposes
Continue readingI find it amusing that, one day after my long rumination about the different parenting styles my liberal husband and I have, with both our styles accurately reflecting our politics, the blogosphere is awash in stories about the way in which Barack Obama, eschewing having the whole federal government act
Continue readingWe were first entertained by the spectacle of the different ways in which Barack Obama met Queen Elizabeth, a very elderly lady who comes from a thousand year old lineage and is the head of a democracy, versus his meeting with the King of Saudi Arabia, who comes from a
Continue readingI’ve never been a big Jon Stewart fan — there’s a lack of good spirit and subtlety that turns me off — but I’ve found interesting watching him deal with Obama. As Stewart’s pr0nouncements during the course of every show demonstrate, he is a die-hard liberal. However, he’s also a
Continue readingThere were so many things wrong with Obama’s speech last night, whether because of dumb ideas, lies, vicious attacks against Constitutional guardians, etc., that criticism actually becomes difficult. It’s kind of like punching Jello, because you just get sucked in. Nevertheless, it is important to criticize, not just Obama’s untruths,
Continue readingFrom Keep America Safe, a video highlighting the distance between Obama’s rhetoric and his acts. I love the way the video ends with a repeat of the statement Sen. Scott Brown helped spread widely through America: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2WBidrvfRs[/youtube]
Continue readingPreparing and eating dinner took precedence of the President’s first State of the Union speech, so I didn’t watch it in real time. Indeed, because I find Obama’s presentation dull (he has the cadences of a slightly defective metronome), I haven’t listened to it at all, but I have read
Continue readingI observed to my friend Joseph Libson that I’m of two minds about what appears to be an Obama implosion. On the one hand, since I think he’s a dangerously bad president, I want him exposed as quickly and fully as possible, so that he is president for as short
Continue readingThe Anchoress is always good, really good. Today, she is off the charts, when she comments on Obama’s obsessive need for symbols identifying him as someone very important. You must read her post, because I think she’s zeroed in on something very significant about this little man who occupies a
Continue readingYesterday, the blogosphere was abuzz with Arkansas Rep. Marion Berry’s story about Barack Obama’s assurance to him that the Democrats wouldn’t have to follow Bill Clinton’s 1994 model and pull to the center. Why not? Because, said Obama, “the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.” I
Continue readingI have to admit that I’ve gotten to the point with President Obama that, whatever he’s for, I’m automatically against in the first instance, at least until I’ve had a chance to check it out. Take, for example, his recent proposal for a “three-year freeze on discretionary, ‘non-security’ spending.” My
