Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As you know, not only did Obama say he wouldn’t “meddle” in Iran, he said that Mousavi and Ahmadinejad are two peas in a pod, so who cares? James Taranto explains perfectly why Obama is dead wrong: [W]e think it is very telling that the very first point he made
Continue readingMy liberal husband still hasn’t forgiven me for pointing out that the MSM deleted from it’s coverage Obama’s request for poupon at a burger joint, nor can he understand why I (and other conservatives) find the request both telling and amusing. These things matter very deeply to the liberals. Tom
Continue readingTwo nights ago, I had an Obama dream, which probably happened because he’s become omnipresent in our lives. I dreamed that I was staying at a luxury hotel and that, despite the fact that he was president, he was acting as concierge. I remember saying in my dream that, while
Continue readingRonald Reagan, speaking to Evangelicals about the Soviet Union, in 1983: Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness — pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach
Continue readingIn one paragraph, Richard Baehr says so much: Voters can be fooled, but they can tell the difference between a friend and a bully. Obama made the decision to bully Israel over settlements, and make it the focus of his Middle East strategy. The events in Iran over the weekend
Continue readingI commented on and graded Obama’s much heralded speech to the Muslim world, so I think it only fair to grade Bibi’s speech, which is directed to much the same audience (plus the western world, too). As I did with Obama’s speech, I’m making me comments in real time, without
Continue readingThis could be sour grapes or it could be something much more serious. Amusingly, the NAACP hopes the charges are true, even if that means the State and Feds acted illegally: An association of contractors accused Caltrans in a lawsuit Thursday of colluding with the Obama administration to flout California’s
Continue readingRemember the hoo-ha about the Bush administration’s decision to fire a handful of US attorneys (as opposed to the noncontroversial Clinton decision to fire almost all the US attorneys)? Well, Obama’s in a firing mood now, too. I wonder if Republicans will have the cojones to check out whether the
Continue readingMy Manchurian candidate post is getting a lot of readership, and I can’t even figure out what the sources are. It’s just kind of dribbling around the internet. That post focused on something very specific about Obama, which is the disconnect between his much trumpeted innate qualities. We are told
Continue readingHitting on many of the same points I did in my analysis of Obama’s Cairo speech, Frank Gaffney makes the compelling argument that, whether Obama is a believing Muslim or just an ideologue, he has aligned himself in significant ways with the Muslim world, and clearly hopes to drag America
Continue readingThis is supposed to be a “news” story about the Obama family trip to Paris. It strikes me as coming much closer to a bad bodice ripper, with scary Messianic overtones: People gawked and cameras clicked as the Obamas cut a wide figure through the French capital even while confined
Continue readingWright crawled out from under the bus to give a “sermon” at Glide Memorial in SF, a “church” more famous for its activism, than its religion. Wright’s “sermon” was in keeping with the “church’s” mission, which is political, not religious: In a half-hour, high-energy sermon, sprinkled with spontaneous songs, jokes
Continue readingGiven that Evan Thomas recently referred to Obama as a God (and he did so with a straight face), you must read the Anchoress’s take on the media’s sick relationship with Obama. You’ve got to admire prose that opens with this paragraph: Evan Thomas, that bellweather of media obsequiousness, who
Continue readingYou can read what I wrote about the speech here. Others have been writing too. The Anchoress, in addition to her must-read Ich bin ein Muslimer takedown of the speech, has a list of blogs thinking about what he said, which I’ll just copy wholesale: Andy McCarthy: Koranic text Obama
Continue readingThis is the substantive part of Obama’s speech (introductory language omitted), with my comments. Overall, I’d give the speech a C. He made some obvious points, he made some good points, and he made some idiotic and offensive points. It would be nice if his speech was effective in bringing
