Barack Obama: The new face of the .01%
$10 million huh? No wonder he looks so happy: I wonder when we’re going to see something like this outside the White House: (Don’t worry. I was just joking. Like that’s going to happen.)

When it comes to playing politics, not all Marines are subject to the same rules
Sgt. Gary Stein was discharged from the Marines because he created a web page critical of President Obama. Despite the fact that I agree with Sgt. Stein’s political views, I think the Marines did the right thing. One of the things that makes our military great is the fact that
Continue readingThe Leftist sales pitch: illogical, strident, obscene, and selfish
A gazillion of my liberal facebook friends have posted this little bit of wit and wisdom: After seeing this post once too often, I cracked. The last person amongst my friends who posted it got a message from me asking precisely how compelling an argument can be when it compares
Continue readingObama is a theoretical leader; Romney a practical one
One of the most startling features of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, a book that examines the killing fields that Stalin and Hitler created in the lands between Germany and Russia proper, is the way in which these socialist leaders were so willing to kill people in the millions
Continue readingI’d laugh at the self-parodying OWSers, but I do think they’re dangerous
Zombie has a new post about Occupy’s latest stunt: The movement’s geniuses, inspired by Earth Day, [I]llegally took over an entire farm and transformed it into…a farm! So proud are they of this revolutionary act that they showed off the farm to the media yesterday, so naturally I had to

“The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money”, writes Strassel.

To date, I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Obama administration’s Big Government effort to keep America’s young down on the farms, now that they’ve seen TV. Or can see TV . . . or should see TV, since the Obama administration is barring farm kids from actually
Continue readingObama’s true home town: the Leftist thought bubble *UPDATED*
My purpose in writing this post is to reveal and challenge the Leftist thought bubble in which Barack Obama lives. Before I get to that point, however, I want to give you a little look at the on-the-ground effects that bubble has on those who are exposed only to Leftist
Continue readingI have a very small quibble with Thomas Lifson….
This morning, at the American Thinker blog, Thomas Lifson posted an article saying that the National Enquirer is asserting that Michelle Obama came up with the idea to attack Ann Romney on the ground that she was a stay-at-home Mom. Thomas Lifson says that this report is credible, given Michelle’s

I remember the hippies as dirty, drugged-out, pathetic human beings lying on the streets in the Haight Ashbury. Their continuing legacy is one of drugs, sexual self-indulgence, and mindless statism wrapped up in equally mindless slogans of “love” and “fairness,” as if a government is capable of giving love or
Continue readingIs Leftism a personality disorder?
The following italicized paragraph started out as an observation I made about some ardent liberals of my acquaintance, but I’ve since decided that it applies well to the politics of the Left and the Right or, more accurately, the statist versus the individualist: Conservatives find people to be a source
Continue readingHelp wanted to understand a climate change post
I’ve been skeptical of climate change because (a) I think Al Gore’s an idiot; (b) the climate changers see everything in terms of climate change, which is nonsensical; (c) the Climate Gate emails indicated fraud and information suppression to advance the climate change narrative, suggesting that the actual facts do
Continue readingThe real threat that the Ann Romneys of the world represent to the statist Left
I’ve been thinking (and if those aren’t ominous words, I don’t know what are). I’ve been thinking about the Left’s attack on stay-at-home Mom’s, an attack that Hilary Rosen started, and that others have continued. To refresh your recollection, let’s start with Rosen, who says that Ann Romney “has actually
Continue readingDemocrats: The party of the Flag, Mom, and Apple Pie
The Twentieth Century American paradigm for patriotism was our Flag, Mom, and Apple Pie. Obama’s Democrats have now hit the trifecta. We’ve got the flag: We’ve got Mom: And we’ve got pie, courtesy of Michelle Obama, speaking on April 8, 2008: The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks
Continue readingHilary Rosen defenders look to 1960s “male chauvinist pigs” for support
I’m seeing a terribly funny new meme on Facebook, aimed at explaining away Hilary Rosen’s statement that Ann Romney, who raised five children, fought breast cancer, and has MS, has never worked a day in her life. Friends are posting things to the effect that, while parenting is “work,” it’s
