Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven — or so the Bible tells us. In nature, the Mama bird has to push that baby bird out of the nest, so that it can function on its own. Usually, though, once having done that,
Continue readingCharles Johnson, at Little Green Footballs, has been urging less heat on the Obama bow matter because, as he and Newt both point out, Bush bowed too. I agree with Johnson that hysteria on the subject is badly placed — although I think hysteria on any subject is badly placed.
Continue readingEven my kids have figured out that the best negotiation is one in which you negotiate in good will from a position of strength. Barack Obama probably agrees with this principle, but it’s becoming obvious that he’s misidentified the source of America’s strength in any negotiation. When presidents from prior
Continue readingIf you’re a Seinfeld fan, you’ll recognize the above quotation as Bapu’s condemnation of Jerry, after Jerry’s well-intentioned bungling destroys his business and (in a later episode) causes Bapu to be deported. In both cases, we, the viewer, know that Jerry acted without malice. Sometimes, though, bad men do act
Continue readingBut when Obama says something so ignorantly stupid even my children wouldn’t sink so low, a American media says absolutely nothing at all.
Continue readingDidn’t Biden say Obama would be tested within months of taking office? The State Department says that North Korea has launched a rocket, following through on its promise of a launch despite international criticism. State Department spokesman Fred Lash confirmed the launch, saying it occurred at 10:30 p.m. EDT Saturday.
Continue readingObama to the French: “Al Qaeda is still a threat,” Obama reminded the audience. “We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.” (And I thought it was racist/religionist to use his middle name.)
Continue readingI suspect Obama did this because he’s a yahoo who is out of his league, but there is no doubt but that this is a weirdly symbolic picture of Obama’s foreign policy. And let’s not even get into the weird marital ramifications behind the fact that, while Obama grovels to
Continue readingAt the end of my “Is Barack Obama evil” post, I issued this warning: Conservatives devalue their arguments against Obama’s policy if they start throwing the word “evil” around. While that may work with the converted, it frightens the vast middle. Rather than looking like wise men (and women) with
Continue readingWhile we were having lunch today, my dear friend Don Quixote asked “Do you think Barack Obama is evil?” I hedged. “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask?” “I’m getting the feeling,” he answered, “that conservatives are starting to define Obama as being evil. At least, that’s the impression
Continue readingI know nothing about US Admiral James Stavridis. I don’t know whether he attained his high rank because he’s a brilliant military strategist or just another political hack. I don’t know if he believes in a strong America, or believes America’s best defense is to role over and play dead.
Continue readingWe all knew that Obama was dismally unprepared for this job. Heck, Obama even admitted it before he decided to run. Before becoming President, his resume was thin enough to fit on a single sheet of paper. Is it any surprise, therefore, that he appears to be falling apart at
Continue readingMy 9 year old son was looking at his book about fighter planes through history. That triggered this question and answer session: Son: Why were the Germans so bad? Me: Humans have always fought. It’s part of the human condition. They’ve also always killed their enemies, including destroying whole villages,
Continue readingYou cannot take this guy anywhere without a teleprompter. This in from Jake Tapper: The first appearance by a sitting president on “The Tonight Show” may well end up being the last. President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman,
Continue readingIf you were wondering what Obama and the maniacal Democrats were doing, James Lewis finally puts a name to it. It’s the Great Leap Forward: Even the Europeans are resisting hyper-deficits, because Europe always has that memory of the 1920s and 30s: hyperinflation, unemployment, crushing poverty and despair, followed by
