Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Never assume stupidity when malevolence can apply — words that aptly characterize the Obama administration’s approach to Israel. Evelyn Gordon takes a look at the new “proximity” talks between Israel and the Palestinians, talks that no one expects to yield any results. After all, the predicate is that the Obama
Continue readingFrom James Lewis’ must-read article today about the effect of Iran’s ICBM’s (which it has spread throughout the Middle East) and its future nuclear arsenal: Mahmoud Ahmadijenad is the aggressive chess player behind all these missiles surrounding Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Iranian strategy has been to move its missile assets
Continue readingWhenever it comes to mentioning presidential policy, this New York Times article about the collapse of AIDS care in Africa is studiously neutral. Read between the lines (and make it almost to the end of the article), though, and you’ll see the truth peek out: Bush, the quintessential “white man,”
Continue readingAm I suffering from historical amnesia, or is this the first time in American history that an administration has made a coup attempt against an ally? The administration of President Barack Obama has launched what officials termed a psychological warfare campaign meant to topple Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Sources
Continue readingA brief history: Obama promised that the health care debate was so important, it would be carried on C-SPAN. That did not happen. Obama promised that any proposed bill on health care would be placed on a website for public comment far in advance of the vote. That did not
Continue readingOh, my gosh! Have I got good stuff here for all of you. Rush. Need I say more? Actually, just so you know what you’re linking too, Rush manages to combine into one lucid post American exceptionalism and Clintonian hypocrisy. Whew! [UPDATE: Soccer Dad, every bit as wise as Rush,
Continue readingYou know the story: Obama has informed the world that we won’t use our nuclear weapons unless some rogue regime strikes. Aside from the fact that he’s now tacitly admitted that he’s not going to stop Iran from going nuclear, he’s also announced to every nuclear nation in the world
Continue readingReaders of my blog know that one of my personal bête noires is liberal indoctrination in public schools. I blog about it frequently. My last outing on that subject was here, and I’ll get back to that in a little bit. First, though, I’d like you to see how one
Continue readingMuch as been written by many great writers in the past few days about Obama’s extraordinary foreign policy, one that sees him crudely alienating old allies, while pandering to every totalitarian leader who comes along. Mark Steyn sees Obama’s approach as part of a larger Leftist syndrome, inflated by Obama’s
Continue readingShortly after I started practicing law, the California State Bar decided mandated that all lawyers must comply with annual “Minimum Continuing Legal Education” (“MCLE”) requirement. I was instantly incensed, because it was immediately obvious to me that this had nothing to do with improving the practice of law and everything
Continue readingSo many brilliant people have written about Obama’s full frontal attack on Israel. Each has said something important, and all are very worrisome. Peter Wehner, however, has most neatly nailed the moral component, the personality issue, behind Obama’s disgraceful behavior (behavior so disgraceful even the London Times caught on). Here’s
Continue readingI warned people close to me (mother, sister, etc.) that Obama was a socialist and they laughed at me and (quite lovingly, because they’re my mom and my sister) called me “extreme.” I wonder if they would have laughed at Al Sharpton too, now that he’s finally let the cat
Continue readingCaroline Glick spells out what Obama has done: Obama’s ultimatum makes clear that mediating peace between Israel and the Palestinians is not a goal he is interested in achieving. Obama’s new demands follow the months of American pressure that eventually coerced Netanyahu into announcing both his support for a Palestinian
Continue readingVictor Davis Hanson sums everything up in one paragraph: The president is pushing legislation that a clear majority of the people dislike, and whose details neither he nor his supporters can explain in simple language. Its ends-justify-the-means passage will require legislative gymnastics that border on the unconstitutional, and in Orwellian
Continue readingYou’ve all heard by now about the 2300 “reconciliation” bill that the House won’t vote on but will simply deem passed, thereby, in a completely unconstitutional way, making the bill a law. (Ahem.) But did you know that Pelosi has been busy sticking in more than just student loan relief
