Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Do you remember the words in my post title? I sure do, and I wasn’t even very politically aware then. That was George Bush, Sr., making a promise to the American people: “Read my lips: No new taxes.” He broke that promise. It looks as if Barack Obama is readying
Continue readingObama has now added to his roster more czars than ever ruled all of Russia through its long history. But who are these people? Terresa, at Noisy Room, decided to find out. Without exception, it makes for very disturbing reading. Start with this guy — the green jobs czar —
Continue readingRusty Shackleford is spitting bullets about the fact that the Taliban have kidnapped Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl and are parading him for propaganda purposes. Although it’s easy to get all tangled up about international law and whether the Geneva Convention should extend to these people, Dr. Shackleford gets to the core
Continue readingI can just hear the wild screams of laughter, and the front page coverage, if a Republican president had said something this stupid (at about 45 seconds): Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Hey, I’d like to make a change to change, too. Hat
Continue readingObama’s lying again, which is always fascinating, because his lies fall into the “who are you going to believe — me or your lying eyes?” category. That is, it’s not as if he has a guilty little secret, and is lying. Nor is it a simple he said/she said scenary,
Continue readingUPDATE: You, my readers, are clearly right, and you’ve shown once again that context is king. Obama is introducing Medvedev to his people and not vice versa. Although this still does not account for Obama’s exasperated expression. **************************** This is a fairly shocking 13 second video showing myriad Russians refusing,
Continue readingMarguerite emailed me the following splendid parable. Do any of you know its origin? Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. There
Continue readingRepublicans are finally figuring out how to push back: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGEfRBzB0s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] I like Ed Morrissey’s comment about the video: Today, Barack Obama once again dishonestly claimed that Porkulus opponents wanted to “do nothing” in the face of the economic collapse, but that’s simply not true — which Obama might have learned
Continue readingA few days ago, the University of California at Merced announced that the First Lady’s commencement address cost this public institution a fortune — although it hastened to assure us that most of the cost would be covered, not by California’s overburdened taxpayers, but by private donors. The nation’s overburdened
Continue readingIn his most recent article at the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove explains in great detail how Barack Obama told quite obvious lies about the stimulus numbers, only to pretend now that he didn’t really mean what he said. (That’s the lying pattern I’ve told you about.) The American people
Continue readingI will admit that we’ve all committed social faux pas. We forget names, stare blankly as friends wave to us, give inappropriate gifts, and a thousand other thoughtless things that we later come to regret. None of us, however, are president of the United States. He gets less slack then
Continue readingBy now you’ve heard about Obama’s 1983 nuclear disarmament op-ed in the student newspaper at Columbia. Because it’s a turgid piece of Leftist collegiate writing, Tom Elia has gone through and excerpted some of the more telling passages. What’s so horrifying is that in the 26 years since he wrote
Continue readingOn July 4, 1776, American citizens made their Declaration of Independence known to the world. Although the bulk of the document is a catalog of very specific grievances against George III, the document is remembered for its stirring beginning, describing “unalienable” rights inherent in all human beings, as well as
Continue readingOne of the hallmarks of a modern totalitarian government is stagecraft. Leni Riefenstahl made a whole movie dedicated to glorifying a totalitarian government’s meticulously staged extravaganza. As a child in the 1960s and 1970s, I vividly remember footage of marches in the Soviet Union, with soldiers in perfect goosestep order.

Cynthia McKinney figures prominently in their number: The Israeli navy intercepted a ship carrying foreign peace activists – including a San Rafael woman – trying to break a blockade of Gaza
