Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I believe Obama is a textbook narcissist — probably malignantly so. The easiest way to think about a narcissist is to understand that each one of them is his own God. Theirs is binary world, with acolytes and enemies. They never lie, as non-narcissists understand a lie, because a narcissist’s
Continue readingSince at least Reagan, the standard liberal trope is that Republicans, both voters and politicians, are stupid. That trope has, of course, emerged again this year. The joker in the deck is Newt Gingrich, a PhD and author who spokes with incredible fluency and has a masterful grasp of facts.
Continue readingI’ve never doubted Obama’s fundamental anti-Israel beliefs, nor have I ever thought he’s on a right, or even a sane, track in the Middle East. As much as anything, though, my feelings regarding Obama’s Israel/Middle East attitudes were predicated on a gut attitude resulting from his pre-presidency friendships and his

Continue readingLet’s see if I’ve got this right, based upon the evidence currently available: Obama is a grandiose narcissist Newt is an egomaniac Hillary is a compulsive liar Mitt seems vaguely asperger-ish, with a weather vane in place of his spine Herman is a serial womanizer (assuming, for the sake of
Continue readingNo, my post title to the contrary, I don’t actually want to be a Democratic political operative. Want I want to be is a speaker who can be pleasant, charming, and say nothing at all — and still get paid (at a guess) $30,000 per 90 minute speech. I can
Continue readingBack in 1987, when he was campaigning for President, one of George H. W. Bush’s advisers suggested that he back off from spouting minutiae to the electorate and spend some time focusing on the big picture, So that he could better sell himself to Americans. According to contemporaneous reports, Bush,
Continue readingRush let ‘er rip against the media this morning regarding its utter failure to investigate any aspect of Obama’s life, even as it subjects Republican candidates to the most invasive investigations and demeaning tactics imaginable. It’s a long riff, but every bit of it is interesting, and you’ll probably be
Continue readingIf you’re on Obama’s email list, as I am, you get the feeling he’s a lonely man, just looking for a date — provided that you’re willing to pay him for his time. Sounds a little bit like the world’s oldest profession, doesn’t it? I also love the way Barack
Continue readingOne of the things we frequently bemoan here is the fact that American foreign policy tends to be naive. Perhaps because our culture is a fluid melting pot in which citizens, until quite recently, willingly changed themselves to assimilate into the broader culture, we’re very poor at understanding that other
Continue readingThis video is getting a lot of attention because Obama at some point said “Here in Asia.” Since he was speaking at a summit with the word “Asia” in the title, I guess it’s a forgivable slip — although it wouldn’t have been had a Bush or Reagan said it.
Continue readingIn response to my post pointing out that being a closet gay is as good an explanation as any for the many holes in Obama’s past, Spartacus made an important point about putting unvetted people into the White House. It’s so good, in fact, that I’m elevating it to post
Continue reading(With apologies to Winston Churchill.) The current state of rumor and innuendo about a president who has no past other than that which he grudgingly doles out, creating a tabula rasa on which we can write our own impressions, leads me to this conclusion: Barack Obama is a bisexual riddle
Continue readingNormally, if I stumbled across a political hit piece rife with unsubstantiated accusations, I wouldn’t include it in any serious discussion at my blog. Depending on its target, I might read it with a certain amount of pleasure, and I might even provide a link for you guys, along with
Continue readingObama was going for the type of joke you throw at the frat brother whose been your friend for decades, and with whom you’ve spent many pleasantly inebriated evenings. It is not the type of joke you throw at the French President in a formal setting. In this latter context,
