News about the news
From Yahoo’s most viewed news stories at 10:09 P.S.T.: Clinton set to concede delegate race to Obama AP – 4 minutes ago WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to
Continue readingBennett on the Dems’ decision-making
I think Bill Bennett sums Obama up about as well as anything I’ve seen. After discussing the end of the Clinton era, he says this: And thus the Democratic party is about to nominate a far left candidate in the tradition of George McGovern, albeit without McGovern’s military and political
Continue readingThrow Michelle from the train? *UPDATED*
Obama has a pattern when a person or institution proves problematic: First, loyally, he tries to defend the troublemaker. Second, when his poll numbers show that the defense is futile, he ruthlessly jettisons the troublemaker, whether it’s Samantha Power, Jeremiah Wright or Trinity Church. But what about this troublemaker (assuming,
Continue readingA cautionary tale if Hillary becomes health tzar
There’s talk of Obama giving Hillary the green light to socialize American medicine if she’ll walk away from the primaries. Melanie Phillips gives us a good example of why the renewed specter of socialized medicine should worry us: To the Labour Party, the National Health Service is the talismanic proof
Continue readingA liberal view of the Clinton-Obama faceoff
I was speaking with a liberal this weekend who opined that McCain will win, something he found inconceivable in a match between Obama and McCain. “Why,” I asked? “Because McCain’s never done anything,” he replied. Rather than defend McCain’s record, I asked a different question: “What’s Obama done?” A millisecond
Continue readingObama’s tangled web of advisers
There’s something about Obama’s friends…. Gateway Pundit has a post that posts that one of Obama’s current advisers might also be one of Iran’s more active friends. Even though, without further information, I’d acquit Obama of intentionally dealing with an Iranian agent or agitator, there’s absolutely no doubt that Obama
Continue readingDo you think Reuters is trying to tell us something?
Talk about subliminal advertising: It’s not only the photo of Obama’s uplifted face, surrounded by a halo, it’s the juxtaposition with the text: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama waits to speak in Aberdeen, South Dakota May 31, 2008. Obama said on Saturday he quit his Chicago church in the
Continue readingWhy you shouldn’t cut off your nose to spite your face
I’ve been finding very disturbing the intense hostility that conservatives direct against John McCain. So much so that I wrote a very long rant on the subject, which American Thinker was kind enough to publish and which I reprint below: Perhaps because I’m a neocon, and not a dyed-in-the-wool, native-born

Ann Coulter nails everything that’s wrong with Obama’s delusional idea of talking Ahmadinejad down from the nuclear ledge: There are reasons to meet with a tyrant, but none apply to Ahmadinejad. We’re not looking for an imperfect ally against some other dictatorship, as Nixon was with China. And we aren’t
Continue readingThose Obama lies
I’ve blogged at length about Obama’s approach to lies. Unlike Hillary, who just works herself into a frenzy of denial, Obama has an incremental approach. He just keeps leaking out pieces of the truth. By the time he’s fully exposed himself as a liar, the compliant, short-memoried media has long
Continue readingYou’re not JFK and you’re not funny
William Katz has his own, very interesting, blog at Urgent Agenda. However, he saves his long posts for Power Line and this time he has a doozy about the many ways in which Obama is not JFK. Since Katz lived a life that was front and center at many historical
Continue readingWhy Jews are right to suspect Obama’s advisers
Obama adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski has accused American Jews of McCarthyism for being critical of Israel’s critics. He’s not the first and he won’t be the last. The pattern, repeated over and over as we learn more about Obama’s advisers, is that one of them speaks fondly of the Palestinians or
Continue readingIf you read one thing today…
…it should be this Jack Kelly piece about Obama’s overweening ego and offsetting intellectual failings. Just to give you a taste: Mr. Obama is a bright, handsome, personable guy who gives a good speech (when he’s working from a prepared text). But he’s never actually done much of anything. The

Marriage is not, and never has been, a personal right. In Western society, it operates at two levels. First, it functions at a religious level. This is a deeply personal level, because in every religion, marriage is, or is equivalent to, a sacrament. In America, you have the Constitutional right
