Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In one of his most brilliant columns, Mark Steyn uses the unequal gift exchange between Gordon Brown and Barack Obama to delve into Obama’s personality and his plans, and the cataclysmic effect both will have, not just on America, but on the world. Here’s just a taste: I would make
Continue readingMr. Bookworm read in the New York Times its reprint of the Politico story about Obama’s teleprompter addiction. “That’s really bad,” he said. Rather than agreeing or opining, I simply asked “Why?” “Because,” said Mr. Bookworm, “it clashes with his reputation as a great orator.” Again, I forebore to point
Continue readingThis morning Mr. Bookworm offered me something: “Hey! You want to blog about something Obama’s doing that I don’t like?” I was curious. “What?” “This Employee Free Choice Act. What’s up with that?” “That’s been around for a while,” I said. “It’s one of the platforms on which Obama ran.”
Continue readingThe New York Times is very excited to report that Obama takes his new job so seriously, he’s going gray. We’re assured that the appearing and reappearing flecks of gray simply reflect on his different barbers’ cutting styles — an impressive claim to make when the man basically has a
Continue readingYou know how I feel about the Marines. And now Barack knows how the Marines feel about him: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIHz5tevLAw[/youtube] I found the above video at Cheat-Seeking Missiles, where Laer also has a picture that is worth ten thousand words. UPDATE: Blackfive has more, including a reminder about why the troops
Continue readingAnother reminder that Obama’s intelligence, which is real, is neither informed, nor deep, nor thoughtful. It’s the feral, manipulative intelligence of the sociopath. Clearly, in dealing with the Russians, he’s been out-sociopathed. Hat tip: Steve Schippert
Continue readingLinda Chavez is a writer I often read but seldom (if ever) quote. Today, though, I thought the opening paragraph in an article she wrote perfectly summarized everything one needs to know (and fear) about Obama: Hubris is the word that comes to mind as I listen to President Obama
Continue readingI see this as a running series, as more and more evidence crops proving to the 78% of American Jews who voted for Obama that he will, as conservatives warned, oversee Israel’s destruction. Pre-election, I was assured by so many Jews that the Dems and Obama are friends of Israel,
Continue readingWho cares about the content? You’ve got to love this CNN headline: Obama to lay out sober assessment, hopeful future The story’s content, as you’ve probably guessed, is that Obama has figured out that people elected Mr. Hopenchange, not Mr. Doom-and-Gloom. So, he’s got to say that everything is awful,
Continue readingYou remember when an LA Times opinion column told us that Obama was the “magic negro,” don’t you? I think Obama took that idea way to seriously, because he’s now engaged in some magical thinking. He assures us that, despite economic freefall, despite a trillion dollars in added debt, and
Continue readingI have been trying my darndest to ignore Judith Warner’s sleazy New York Times piece detailing the sexual fantasies liberal women are having about Obama. On the list of things I really don’t want to know, this ranks right up there with the nature of Bill Clinton’s underwear. These are
Continue readingI’m not an economist and I don’t even play one on TV. I am a one-time history major, though, and someone with the kind of knowledge-base that’s built up over years of being an autodidact, an employee and a small business owner. While I don’t understand economics at a complex
Continue readingI was not thrilled by Bush’s Office on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, since I don’t want the White House involved in faith, but I recognized it as a pragmatic means to increasing the effectiveness of existing religious charities. I also wasn’t too concerned because I did not see it as
Continue readingMary Katharine Ham also weighs in on both Michelle’s and Barack’s periodic meanness. She mentions a few examples I’d forgotten and reminds me of Obama’s snide remark about Pennsylvianians as embittered, religiously fanatic gun clingers. One can be nice and witty. One can be mean and witty. And one can
Continue readingAm I missing something, or does Obama’s cabinet boast more than its fair share of old white guys. I know Daschle’s gone — thank goodness, give his ideas about health care reform — but that’s still a predominantly white, male cabinet. Indeed, if you flip through the Vanity Fair slideshow
