Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingObama’s fall from grace is The Emperor’s New Clothes made real. Someone finally put the video together, relying almost verbatim on a classic retelling of the tale: Hat tip: The White House Dossier
Continue readingI could have done this as myriad small posts, but I was in the mood for something big. I’ll separate the different ideas and issues with asterisks (after all, Obama’s promise with his unspoken asterisk has made asterisks the hot new thing in writing). My friend (I like say that
Continue readingJust a few fisks about the lies and anti-constitutionalism in Obama’s ukase this morning. As a preliminary to this, let me just say that the Affordable Care Act, i.e., the actual law that Congress passed, requires the health care exchange and the new policies to go into effect as of
Continue readingThis one is making the rounds, and deservedly so: Bob: “Did you hear about the Obama administration scandal? Jim: “You mean the Mexican gun running?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “You mean SEAL Team 6?” Bob: “No, the other one.” Jim: “You mean the State Dept. lying about Benghazi?”
Continue readingIn my post about Obama’s lies, I noted that he lies endlessly, always adducing new ones to account for old ones. Neo-neocon noted this habit and has a wonderful anecdote that provides the perfect metaphor for Obama’s lies. Maybe someone will write a book about the healthcare fraud called “On
Continue readingA lot of people are very surprised that Chuck Todd, after interviewing Obama, concluded that the President genuinely seems to believe his own lies: You know, he does not believe he lied on this, and that’s the sense I get. I mean, I think that that’s, he’s taken issue with
Continue readingI think Charles Krauthammer may have written one of his best articles ever. I’m quoting a few select phrases, but you’re cheating yourself if you don’t read the whole thing: “Obama to campaign to ensure health law’s success” – The New York Times, November 4 The Obamacare website doesn’t work.
Continue readingDemocrat spinmeister Lanny Davis appeared yesterday on Fox & Friends to be telling Obama to ‘fess up about his early statements regarding Obamacare, and Obama seems to have tried to do so. At least, that’s the spin. But let’s see what really happened. First, a little history. Between 2009 and
Continue readingObama is tanking in the polls, but NPR says not to worry. While Bush’s tanking in the polls was a sign that he was a lame duck, Obama’s tanking in the polls is meaningless. The reasons given are insanely stupid: He’s never been effective with Congress; bad poll numbers are
Continue readingTo those few of you reading this who are conservatives who managed to survive Harvard Law School, my apologies. But I have to say, having read this, it’s obvious that Texas’s Wendy Davis is a typical Harvard Law School grad: thin-skinned, unprincipled, arrogant, anti-constitutional, and ill-informed. Oh, and judging by
Continue readingMy day is not proceeding as planned. Grumble, grumble, grumble. But I still found some good stuff out there: For all the criticism aimed at him for daring to defend his nation from nuclear annihilation, Netanyahu successfully shifted the paradigm — not far enough, but it’s movement in the right
Continue readingMore than five years ago, when Barack Obama threw his hat into the political ring, I realized that he was a malignant narcissist who lied compulsively. For Obama, truth was then and is now defined by the needs of the moment. If it will benefit him at that moment to
Continue readingHere’s the AP, an unofficial arm of the Democrat party, telling us that Obama had to simplify his Obamacare promises to the point of fraud because the American people are too unintelligent and uninformed to deal with the Act’s complexities: President Barack Obama’s early efforts to boil down an intricate
