Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I consider this a must-read, both because the premise is fascinating and because it is a fresh, and believable, look, at the psyche of a man who seems determined to turn America into a pseudo-Marxist style third world nation: My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you,
Continue readingI haven’t banged the gong very much about Obama’s birth certificate, proving that he’s a natural born citizen. He’s authorized the production of a copy of a document from a Hawaiian hospital, and that seems to have set the matter at rest. In any event, there’s no getting around the
Continue readingObama was so sure that his magisterial silence alone would bring peace to the streets of Tehran. He’s right, in that the mullah’s are summarily ending the protests, but it’s a peace that only Tacitus would recognize.
Continue readingAmericans were promised that Obama had a perfect temperate: cool, calm and collected at all times. And certainly, in every interview, he was cool, calm and collected. Could that be because every interview was a fawning love-fest? It’s easy to control your temper and keep your head when everything’s going
Continue readingBack in May 2008 2007, I examined the way in which Obama tells lies: Obama is also a fairly compulsive liar, something that highlights myriad other problems. That is, whenever he’s caught in a problematic situation (ah, those friends of his), rather than making a clean breast of it, or
Continue readingTraditionally, in arguing cases to the court, there have been a very limited number of available types of legal authority: cases, statutes, administrative rules, and law review articles (with the last being advisory only) have pretty much made up the universe of things the court needs to consider. In this
Continue readingI wish that those of us who worried last year about Obama’s hostility towards Israel had been wrong. It seems, however, that we were right — and it’s only going to get worse.
Continue readingRiffing off the news that Obama intends to go ahead with a July 4 barbecue for Iranians, even though his guests hands are soaked in blood, a very upset Max Boot has this to say: It’s bad enough that the president is deliberately refraining from being too outspoken in favor
Continue readingWhen Polish dockworkers stood against the might of the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spoke immediately and loudly about absolute principles, such as freedom and the dignity of man: The Polish nation, speaking through Solidarity, has provided one of the brightest, bravest moments of modern history. The people of Poland are
Continue readingIn the email giving the heads up about this post, Steve Schippert had one word, which he practically yelled: “H.U.G.E.” As you may recall, early on in this Iranian thing, I wondered if the protest would coalesce around anything. Without a focus, it would just drift away. With a focus
Continue readingPeople of Iran: Traditionally, the president of the United States has been the spokesperson for the people of the United States — or, at least, for a majority of the people of the United States. For the first time in modern history, however, we have a president who appears incapable
Continue readingDuring the campaign, Biden warned that Obama would be tested in his first six months in office. We all assumed that Biden knew about a planned terrorist attack on the US. That could still happen, of course, although I devoutly hope it won’t. At exactly the five month mark, however,
Continue readingThings are not going well for Mr. Obama in Washington. (Please note the studied lack of an honorific in the way I am referring to the man in the White House. I don’t think he worked hard enough to earn it. The things we learn when we listen to our
Continue readingHere’s your matched set for today: Richard Baehr comments on Obama’s allegiance to Islam. Pamela Geller points out that radical Islamists groups that explicitly seek to overthrow America and replace it with a caliphate are staging coming out parties. And to those who feel like saying that we’re being just
Continue readingHere’s the article from an extremely Progressive San Francisco blog. Here’s my distillation: 1. Liberals truly care about freedom, because they protested their hearts out over the illegal U.S. war in Iraq. 2. For all that screaming against the evil U.S. government, American liberals really weren’t risking anything because, unlike
