Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
There’s an absolute gem in Jake Tapper’s question-and-answer session with Press Sec’y Gibbs. Before you read it, think of Einstein’s definition of insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Okay. You got that? Here goes: TAPPER: Well, OK. One other question, then. You
Continue readingFrom Jennifer Rubin: Far from assuming the role of an “honest broker” in the Middle East (that would be an improvement at this point), Obama is affirmatively choosing sides, making every effort to identify with and sweet-talk the “Muslim world” as he conceives it. But this is not only a pro-Muslim
Continue readingThe Obama administration, without making any demands on the Palestinians who haven’t abided by any parts of the Road Map, insisted that Israel freeze all settlement activity, including such little things as bathroom additions and new floors on houses. The Israeli administration just thumbed its nose at the US: Israeli
Continue readingHad we in the conservative world not made an uproar, I have no doubt but that the Obama speech, and the supporting teaching materials, would have encouraged children to come to the cult of Obama. Thanks to the uproar, the speech shows that the cult of Obama is pretty much
Continue readingI posted yesterday about the usefulness of comparing Obama directly to Hitler (not useful at all), a comparison I believe is triggered by the vast distrust the American people are developing towards Obama as they realize they were duped. Tiresias left an eye-opening comment about Hitler’s skills versus Obama’s skills,
Continue readingI belong to a wonderful — indeed, scintillating — email group. Today, the group has been having a healthy debate about comparing Obama’s latest decision to talk directly to children (no parents necessary) to Hitler’s deliberate plan to wean a generation away from its parents and into the Nazi party.
Continue readingThanks to Sadie for putting me on to the latest Obama/media stunt, this time the conscious decision to mimic a famous series of en famille JFK pictures in the oval office. I guess when your numbers are tanking, imitating a dead president is one way to try to shore yourself
Continue readingI am not at all pleased that Obama is going to descend upon an impressionable and captive audience on September 8. While I don’t expect him to do much more than mouth “lame” platitudes about education and service (meaning, of course, service to liberal causes not, God forbid, military service),
Continue readingI bet you didn’t know that, if you oppose the government takeover of our American medical system, you’re a Right Wing domestic terrorist. Lucky for you, Obama’s campaign organization, “Organizing for America,” explains who you are, and encourages Obama-bots to fight you on 9/11. The site’s been scrubbed, but everything
Continue readingI’m noticing an interesting pattern in Obama’s Muslim speeches. He thinks it’s a very good thing for women to cover up. In his Cairo speech, he made that point, not once, not twice, but three times. As I caught in the post I wrote at the time, he said: Moreover,
Continue readingMy children, despite having one liberal parent and one conservative one, have come down firmly and absolutely on the side of conservatism. They loath Obama. Thank God, too, because Obama is going to use the power of the federal government to speak directly to America’s children, bypassing their parents as
Continue readingI have some familiarity with Church history and doctrine, owing to my background as a European history major. I am woefully ignorant, however, about modern Catholicism — or, more specifically, modern American Catholicism. I therefore have a question for those of you who are Catholic: Does it matter to a
Continue readingObama spouted a maudlin mess about Kennedy today. He didn’t even bother to mention by allusion to Kennedy’s “flaws” that little problem at Chappaquiddick: Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the heir to a
Continue readingMy friend Zhombre was at the bookstore perusing the shelves when he came across a Penguin Press book entitled “The Inaugural Address, 2009.” That’s well and good. I’m sure there are some in America who want to clutch this banal speech as tightly to their chest as Chinese citizens were
Continue readingThe American people and the media are both souring on Barack Obama, but there’s a very different tone to the changed attitudes. American people were promised, and voted for, a post-racial, post-partisan black man who was politically moderate and sufficiently brilliant to handle an executive job (tho’ he’d never had
