Year: 2010

Updated at the bottom: So, let’s talk this one out. The AP reports: About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter’s soccer games in northwest Washington, […]

Love him or hate him, Lieberman has the guts to tell the truth: Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called the administration’s proposal to avoid the term “Islamic extremism” in national security references “absolutely Orwellian and counterproductive.” Lieberman revealed on “Fox News Sunday” that he had sent a letter to the president’s top counterterrorism adviser, […]

I was just thinking of the wisdom of Ike, describing in great detail the freedom/security continuum and all the implications of it, without ever once using the word “continuum.” From there I was reading FrankJ’s proposed Contract With America. I was in the middle of admiring that first point about throwing off a medium-sized building […]

Via Instapundit, a bunch of lefties are making plans to discredit the Tea Parties by pretending to be people they aren’t. This is from CrashTheTeaParty.org: WHO WE ARE: A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons; who constitute the fake […]

So lemme get this straight: President Obama signs several pieces of legislation that push the deficit into historically irresponsible territory; that put the U.S. on a fiscal par with Greece or, worse, California; that threaten our credit rating, and will restrict economic growth for generations to come… …not to mention that these same pieces of […]

How divided this country has become. I have never heard such contempt and sophomoric talk against the American public by their own elected officials in my life.

Ed Rollins — former Reagan advisor — thinks maybe so, but I’m not so sure. He writes: Justice John Paul Stevens’ widely anticipated announcement Friday morning of his retirement after 35 years on the court, gives the president and his party another challenge going into the fall elections. Who the president nominates and how ferocious […]

Get off my lawn. A 70 year old Carnation, WA homeowner used his handgun to stop a violent home invader. Police say that the 70 year old man was in his home at about 6 AM when he heard someone lurking outside his home. The homeower reportedly went to the door to investigate, at which […]

Who better to take on the Living Breathing Audacity of Hope, than some guy with a Blog That Nobody Reads who has the audacity to quote himself? Me: Intellectualism has become the readiness, willingness and ability to call dangerous things safe, and safe things dangerous. Me, again: When an education has given you the ability […]

It’s been about three years since I first heard the name Sarah Palin. I remember my Human Events co-worker, John Gizzi, opining on the former Alaska Governor’s long shot chances at the Vice-Presidency in early 2008. She wasn’t even really on the short list.:  Then, I heard she was pregnant and completely ruled her out […]
