Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A couple of days ago, I asked you all to make your predictions about the upcoming election. Your responses ranged from a belief that Romney will win a clear victory, to a belief that Romney will win a squeaker because of entrenched interests and voter fraud, to a belief that
Continue readingDuring his 2008 campaign, we were assured that Obama was the greatest orator since Lincoln, or perhaps ever. I would amend that slightly, to give Obama a title he really deserves: Barack Obama. greatest teleprompter reader ever. Take Obama off the teleprompter, and he displays unparalleled abilities at being rude,
Continue readingYou know I’m going to be hooked on a post if, in the second paragraph, it describes Jimmy Carter in these terms: Jimmy Carter should not have been president. He was incompetent beyond belief; angry about America’s success in the world; wanted us to get our comeuppance; and was and
Continue readingFor better or worse, there often comes a moment in a campaign when a candidate says something that crystallizes that candidate’s negatives — and this is true even if what he said, when examined carefully, was accurate or innocuous. For example, John Kerry found himself irreparably foundering when he said,
Continue readingSheriff Joe has announced that the Obama long-form birth certificate is definitely a fraud. You remember that, right? One friendly reporter was allowed to peek at the original paper document. What was made available to the public was a digital image. It is this digital image that Sheriff is challenging.
Continue readingA friend sent me a couple of great posters celebrating the message behind Obama’s speech. Which speech? This speech: There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you
Continue readingCheck out this mash-up: It comes from Being Liberal Means Being a Hypocrite, a Facebook page that’s definitely worth “liking.”
Continue readingWilliam Galston, who writes for The New Republic (i.e., he’s a Leftist), is not sanguine about Obama’s standing in the presidential race. Without getting into the why of Obama’s decision to run a staggeringly vindictive campaign (which would force him to acknowledge that Americans dislike both what Obama has and
Continue readingThe only thing that’s good about this creepy video is the reminder that the religious revival seems to be over. Many in the audience have packed up and gone home. Some realize that they got sold snake oil, while others look back on the day with longing, but without the
Continue readingFor a supposedly great orator, Obama certainly has a strained relationship with the English language: A Marion, Iowa, man who has been a popular performer at Republican events attended President Obama’s rally on the Kirkwood Community College campus yesterday. Lance Mack wore a dark suit and a tall, stove-pipe hat
Continue readingVictor Davis Hanson has written one of his best columns ever, in large part because he lucidly sets out Obama’s flip-flops. Actually, “flip-flop” isn’t the right word, because it lacks the energy of the violent volte faces that Obama routinely makes. There’s no nuance to his changes. John Kerry, even
Continue readingI’ve noticed something interesting over the last week or so: the absence of Obama bumper stickers. (And I’ve been in some very fierce Obama strongholds over the last few days, ranging from San Francisco to Los Angeles.) I’d actually noticed this absence before, but I figured that Democrats were sitting
Continue readingI spent a lot of time driving today, and caught a few minutes of Newt on Sean Hannity’s radio show. Newt made a fascinating point about the Obama administration’s approach to secrets: Obama is broadcasting far and wide national security secrets, while simultaneously attempt to use a unique and narrow
Continue readingWow! Wow! From a lawyer’s point of view, it’s hard to imagine anything more stupid than for the Obama White House to assert executive privilege as to the Fast and Furious documents. The subpoenaed documents must have some pretty damning information for the White House to make this move. More
Continue readingIn ordinary times, criminals disregard the law. In the PC Obama era, however, elected officials and state government agencies don’t have much use for the law either. Take Obama, for example. Contrary to the original headlines regarding Obama’s newly discovered immigration rights, Obama’s recent announcement regarding illegal immigration isn’t an
