Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A few weeks ago, I did a post asking if Barack Obama is anti-American. I liked the concept, but wanted to refine on it a bit. Well, that refinement turned into a very long post, which I passed on to American Thinker, and the editors were kind enough to publish
Continue readingI don’t often do this, as you know, but I’m going to quote Jennifer Rubin’s post in its entirety here. I think it’s important that people understand precisely what is going on in Washington and how it’s affecting men and women in Afghanistan. Rubin, unsurprisingly, does as good a job
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer goes on full throttle attack against Barack Obama based on Obama’s endless, weasely whining that everything that’s gone wrong with the first nine months of his presidency is all Bush’s fault. The central focus of this whining, of course, is Afghanistan, which candidate Obama claimed was the necessary
Continue readingJennifer Rubin has two posts this morning, both of which illustrate my point about the dangerous relationship between our CIC and the military he’s supposed to be leading. In the first, she talks about the insane decision-making process in D.C., which seems to have little to do with either victory
Continue readingWith the trigger being Obama’s obsession with niqabs and hijabs, I did a lengthy post about my belief that Obama fundamentally does not like women. He depends on strong women (his wife, Valerie Jarrett), but he doesn’t like them. In fact, I’m willing to bet that his dependence on them
Continue readingI’ve said it a million times and I’ll now say it for the million and first time: You fight wars to win. If you’re not committed to winning, leave. If you don’t leave, and fight a half-assed war, you end with dead soldiers. That’s what happened in Vietnam, and that’s
Continue readingAs far as I can tell, Frank’s primary defense of Obama’s attack on Fox News is that Obama isn’t as bad as Nixon’s attacks on the press were. Given the low esteem in which liberals hold Nixon, I think we can safely call that damning with faint praise. (Or, perhaps,
Continue readingJames Taranto nails what the President really meant to say when he spoke to troops about Afghanistan: “I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm’s way,” FoxNews.com quotes the president as telling servicemen. As for the servicemen who are already in harm’s way: Jeez, guys, be
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer identifies the enormous damage the Obami risk doing as they attack and try to destroy national entities associated with conservatives (the Chamber of Commerce, talk radio, Fox news): There’s nothing illegal about such search-and-destroy tactics. Nor unconstitutional. But our politics are defined not just by limits of legality
Continue readingThere’ve been accusations and counter-accusations flying about Obama fiddling while Afghanistan burns. Cheney accuses him of being a do-nothing. Gibb claims Bush did nothing. Jake Tapper looked into the matter and discovered that, while Iraq was a priority, Bush indeed did little with troop requests, struggling to fill them, but
Continue readingIf I recall, Barack Obama promised Americans that, with his smooooth personality (sort of the personality equivalent of Barry White’s voice), he would head an unusually civil, non-cynical, bipartisan administration. Aside from the fact that this is most decidedly not happening, do any of you ever recall a sitting President
Continue readingSadie sent me a great trio of stories today, and I want to pass them on to you: The UN wants to make sure that the Western nation’s efforts to protect themselves against cross-dressing jihadists (you know, those guys who don burqas to hide bombs) don’t offend transgendered individuals (who
Continue readingIn Best of the Web Today, James Taranto politely savages Barack Obama’s absentee leadership as American troops live and die in the line of Taliban fire: “The United States cannot wait for problems surrounding the legitimacy of the Afghan government to be resolved before making a decision on troops, U.S.
Continue readingAs more questions arise regarding Obama’s contribution to his own autobiography, I wondered whether a software program could be written to compare his known writings (which, other than Dreams, are almost non-existent), to Ayers’ prodigious output. Turns out such software already exists and at least one person claims that it
Continue readingI liked the way Jennifer Rubin tied together the “sort of a God” MSM meme and the White House’s undignified but effective advertisements for . . . I mean, attacks against Fox: After all, it [the attack mode] directly contradicts the stereotype of conservatives and the glorified image of Obama.
