Year: 2008

Here’s the thing about so-called “Moderates”: they have no loyalty to any ideal but pragmatism. And pragmatism is defined as “what’s good for me.” The latest ostensible voice of reason is moderate pragmatist David Frum. He is full of artful, empty prose. In a nutshell, McCain will lose. It is Palin’s fault. Stop spending money […]

With oil bouncing around at about in the low sixties, there are some anxious OPEC nations out there. But as you’ll see in the very instructive chart below, some are more anxious than others: The following are estimates from Washington-based consultancy PFC Energy of how much various OPEC countries need on average to balance their […]

Bill Kristol announced the extremely sad news today on the Weekly Standard’s blog: It’s my sad duty to report that our good friend and valued contributor Dean Barnett passed away today. He was a remarkable man–principled, witty, and to all of us, a model of grace and courage. We mourn his passing and cherish his […]

Here’s another foretaste of life in Obama Nation. Joe the Plumber challenged The One’s Marxist economic plans and came to symbolize the normal hard-working Americans who would be crushed so that Obama can “spread the wealth around.” As punishment, the Obamedia has crawled over Joe Wurzelbacher’s life like a plague of cockroaches, waggling its antennae […]

Passing off Barack Obama as a legitimate presidential candidate despite his radical ideology, vile associates, and lack of qualifications has been a big job for the media. Jonathan Valania at the Philadelphia Enquirer gives some insight into the mentality that keeps journalists motivated for this Herculean task in a piece entitled “White People Shouldn’t Be […]

This infuriates me: Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin’s bid for the White House, have been involved in spreading ant-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election. . . . Some former Romney aides were behind the […]

Please note that it’s not whether redistribution of wealth is even the right thing to do, but how best to redistribute wealth. Investor’s Business Daily calls Obama’s beliefs “stealth socialism“. It’s not so stealthy if you have eyes to see. And here, you’ll find that Obama’s ideology mirrors what his father hoped to achieve in […]

Someone I went to high school with sent this to me this week-end and it’s a very apt analogy…

The People’s Cube imagines the crisis Obambi will get us into that Joe Biden speculated about, PS: Other awesome one-liners from the People’s Cube, US choppers attack ACORN voter registration center in Syria US military: We decided to strike now because this time next year we’ll be a Peace Keeping force Kids’ hymns to Obama […]

Given our current situation, it’s deeply ironic that moderate Republicans spent the last few years completely ignoring conservative concerns and insisting that if only the dumb right-wingers would listen to them, they’d create a majority that would last for 40 years. Let’s see, there was Campaign Finance Reform, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, No Child […]

Last night I was talking to a friend of mine from Israel and I told that person that America’s allies, Israel in particular, are not going to be able to count on America for at least the next four years if Obama wins. That person said that Clinton was OK, so would Obama really be […]

George Bush’s idea of “legacy building” is not your father’s “legacy building,” in the waning days of his Administration, and in the shadow of a Democratic Party that — Obamiam triangulation notwithstanding — remains in denial over what has been accomplished in Iraq. The AP reports that U.S. helicopter forces not-so-politely tiptoed into Arab fascist […]

Even more of a reason to be quaking in your boots. Remember this from the DNC? “I pledge to you that I will be there next January on the floor of the United States Senate,” Mr. [Edward] Kennedy told the cheering crowd in Denver. “This is the cause of my life, new hope that we […]

Having a democrat President, a democrat House and a democrat Senate is not enough. For Hillary Clinton, it’s worth forming an alliance with Al Franken, to stump around in an effort to make the new Senate filibuster-proof. “Al Franken was taking on the vast right-wing conspiracy before other people even admitted it existed,” she told […]

If you’re like me, you wake up every morning, get ready for your day, and among other things you have on your mind, you think about the prospect of an Obama presidency. You think about what the next four years could be like in terms of policy, in terms of the direction he – along […]

Barbara West, whose interview with Joe Biden prompted a meltdown and hissy fit from Biden and the rest of Camp Barry (video in this post by John Stephenson), had this to say to the Orlando Sentinel In a call to me Friday evening, West (pictured) said of Biden: “I have a great deal of respect […]

[Update: This story has now been reported in the NY Post, with different reporters and even more incidents between Palin and the McCain campaign staff. With a week to go, the campaign has turned into a schoolyard with no teacher to supervise, with campaign staffers and strategists worried more about future employment and self-survival then […]

Yeah, pretty easy to guess. They even use a word that is verbotin in Liberal World in describing their hope for change There are no “Obama 2008” buttons, banners or T-shirts visible here at U.N. headquarters, but it might be difficult to find a sliver of territory in the United States more enthusiastic over the […]

Gateway Pundit has the scoop and what I summarize here is lifted from him. First, get to know the character we are discussing. Here is a video that explains his history and ties with Obama. He is a long time friend of Obama and shares a mutual friend, Bill Ayers. Barack Obama funnelled thousands of […]

Watch this local reporter grill Joe Biden. It’s refreshing to see Joe’s frustrated face when he discovers he didn’t walk into a powder puff interview and actually has to answer tough questions. WFTV-Channel 9’s Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it’s some of the best entertainment […]

There are many, but here are three important ones. It doesn’t end with Jeremiah Wright and unrepentant terrorist William Ayers. Obama’s Ties to Rashid Khalidi Not only are the media ignoring the above tie, but willfully covering it up. Obama and Khalid Al Masour Obama and Odinga Meanwhile, police prepare for race riots if Obama […]

Being a hardcore Canadian “freespeecher” (that word, btw, is used to insult us on leftwing blogs up here…), I’ve proposed (unrealistically, I admit) that the Internet be declared a libel free zone. After all, our Members of Parliament are immune from libel and slander for anything they say in the House. Why shouldn’t ordinary citizens […]

Slublog over at Ace of Spades HQ: You know who I love most this election season? The PUMAs. Their blogs have been the most consistently optimistic and yet full of a gleeful disdain for Barack Obama and his campaign. They tear into Obama with a contagious mirth, and they love Sarah Palin more than certain […]

Iowahawk once again captures the anger and frustration of average American voters fed up with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that’s trying to keep Bill down (not THAT Bill–although he was persecuted something awful, too, which was just a sign of the cryptofascistracists who hate horny, middle-aged white men. I mean he is white and […]

First of all that’s simply not true. Even Barney Frank, who is mostly clueless, knows that ambitious spending schemes need revenue from somewhere. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will “eventually” […]
