Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s Barack Obama, speaking to the plutocrats “You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot of them — like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they’ve gone through the Clinton
Continue readingI mentioned in an earlier post the slime that’s starting to ooze out from behind the curtain that hides the real Barack Obama. Andrew McCarthy has a splendid rundown of the creepy, angry, anti-American, whiny, anti-Semitic, anti-white people Obama counts amongst his friends.
Continue readingI’ve been boasting for some time that, so far as I know, I was the first person to liken Barack Obama to Chance the Gardener in Being There. I did so because the Obama we first met appeared to have nothing going on behind the smooth exterior, a fact that
Continue readingObama bills himself as a man of the people, who will beat down big business (although some of the more disingenuous in big business have already figured out a way to profit from these so-called populist policies). Indeed, his “man of the people” credentials may run a lot deeper than
Continue readingIt’s becoming increasingly clear that John McCain is going to have to cope with something I call PT-BDS — or Post Traumatic Bush Derangement Syndrome. Let me explain and, as is so often the case with my explanations, let me start with a personal anecdote. I’m visiting with the in-laws
Continue readingBarack Obama has had a weird life, but not a bad one. Yes, his father abandoned him, but he’s certainly not the only person, of any race, to experience that. His mother loved him, his grandparents loved him, he grew up in the mellow, racially-mixed world of Hawaii (barring his
Continue readingWhile I worked on an appellate brief last night, Mr. Bookworm watched Frontline’s Bush’s War. I was not surprised to learn that it characterized the Bush administration as not only profoundly stupid, but also deviously Machiavellian, with Bush in charge, except that he’s so stupid that he is actually manipulated
Continue readingAt American Thinker, James Edmund Pennington definitively explodes the myth that Obama is a “post-racial” candidate. In other words, Geraldine Ferraro had it absolutely right when she said, without any of Pennington’s careful analysis, that Obama ascended as quickly as he did solely because of his race. And as Pennington
Continue readingHere’s one of John McCain’s most recent ads, one that claims its sole purpose is to honor his old high school teacher. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inNBl6UV1TY&feature=user[/youtube] Over at Hot Air, they damn it with very faint praise indeed: Not a terrible ad but also not the best use of money by a guy
Continue readingBangladesh, having done the wrong thing when it arrested Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and threatened him with death for having the temerity to suggest that Israel ought to be allowed to live in peace and for pointing out the Islamist threat in Bangladesh, is now trying to prove that, if
Continue readingI wrote it for American Thinker, where you can read it, or you can read it here: Messiah: “One who is anticipated as, regarded as, or professes to be a savior or liberator.” American Heritage Dictionary Schtick: “Yiddish slang meaning “gimmick” that has come to mean “someone’s signature behavior.” He
Continue readingMuch is being made of the fact that Michelle and Barack Obama, when they were earning a mere quarter million after tax dollars per year, were exceptionally stingy with their charitable donations. (See here and here, for example.) If that is the whole story of their charitable contributions, that’s pretty
Continue readingI read two articles today that dovetail beautifully, by showing words spewing meaninglessly into the ether and by showing words used bravely to make big changes. As for the meaningless spew into the ether that is, of course, Barack Obama, he of the sonorous (or, to my mind, soporific) voice,
Continue readingI don’t believe in kicking someone when he’s down — or, at least, I don’t believe in launching the first kick once he’s already fallen. I say that because I hope all of you appreciate that I’ve disliked Obama from the get-go. If you check my categories on the side,
Continue reading“Schvitzer” is a wonderful Yiddish word. Its literal meaning, derived from German, is “to sweat.” Yiddish, however, has layered something entirely different on top of it: a Schvitzer is an empty boaster, one who doesn’t actually do anything, but who presents himself at the end of the project covered with
