Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
There were so many things wrong with Obama’s speech last night, whether because of dumb ideas, lies, vicious attacks against Constitutional guardians, etc., that criticism actually becomes difficult. It’s kind of like punching Jello, because you just get sucked in. Nevertheless, it is important to criticize, not just Obama’s untruths,
Continue readingPreparing and eating dinner took precedence of the President’s first State of the Union speech, so I didn’t watch it in real time. Indeed, because I find Obama’s presentation dull (he has the cadences of a slightly defective metronome), I haven’t listened to it at all, but I have read
Continue readingThere is something deeply, deeply wrong with the Obami and the Congressional Democrats. Or maybe not. Maybe they are just all too human and are living out that saying that “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” In this case, the corruption isn’t necessarily monetary (although that’s there too). Instead,
Continue readingThe jobs summit is at an end and Obama has given lip service to the private sector. He doesn’t really mean it, though. How can he, when he makes statements such as this one: Mr. Obama said he would entertain “every demonstrably good idea” for creating jobs, but he cautioned
Continue readingA message from William Kristol, one that I’ve already put into effect as to my own Senators (much good it will do, of course, as they’re Feinstein and Boxer): I gather Rasmussen will report today that its latest survey shows support for the Congressional health reform legislation falling to a
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 readingDon Quixote forwarded me an email that perfectly explains just how bad the economy is: Just how bad IS the economy? The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. It’s so bad, I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the
Continue readingThere’s talk of the economy recovering, which is a good thing. Yes, Obama will take credit for it, despite the fact that his massive spending bill has barely touched the economy, but that’s small potatoes. What matters is that we’re not hovering anymore at the brink of economic collapse. Still,
Continue readingObama’s foolish decision to pick a trade war with China has larger implications about his governing style, as Jennifer Rubin explains: [D]omestic political considerations and the good opinion of his base are more important to Obama than just about any other concern. That seems to be the motivating factor in a
Continue reading“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” — Abraham Lincoln Obama lies, and lies, and lies again. Sometimes he lies directly, and sometimes he
Continue readingIn just three paragraphs, Charles Krauthammar explains all of the problems with the health care reform the President so desperately wants passed by August: President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that
Continue readingEven working together, Babs Boxer and John Kerry are still unable to beat Palin’s clear message and, instead, come out with meaningless government speak. I can’t resist a very light fisking of their opinion piece for the WaPo, which does precisely what my blog slogan says Democrats do: they take
Continue readingRepublicans are finally figuring out how to push back: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGEfRBzB0s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] I like Ed Morrissey’s comment about the video: Today, Barack Obama once again dishonestly claimed that Porkulus opponents wanted to “do nothing” in the face of the economic collapse, but that’s simply not true — which Obama might have learned
Continue readingIn medieval times, the king’s fool was often the only one who could speak the truth, but that in the guise of a joke. Joe Biden is a little bit different. Obama didn’t mean him to be the truth-speaking fool but, apparently, the guy can’t help himself. AJ Strata caught
Continue readingJennifer Rubin pithily sums up the insanity of the government’s cheerful report on increasingly higher unemployment numbers: So to be clear: we’re headed for double digit unemployment, the very thing the stimulus bill was supposed to stave off. We didn’t keep unemployment anywhere near 8% as the administration predicted — but
