If ObamaCare Was So Great, Why Are No Dems Running Ads In Support?

I suppose they took Nancy Pelosi’s advice and read it after they passed it, therefore A handful of House Democrats are making health care reform an election year issue – by running against it.

Recovery Summer Becomes “Eh, Maybe The Jobs’ll Come Back In A Few Years”

As more and more media outlets publish stories about just how bad the economy is, particularly the unemployment situation, I wonder if they will finally place the blame where it belongs, namely, on President Obama and the elected Democrats?

‘Something Weird Happens When Presidencies Go Wrong’

California Dreamin’: Chasing The Mythical Green Jobs Beast

California struggles these days. In some segments of their workforce, like agriculture, they’ve had nearly 40% unemployment.

I know a shallow intellect when I see it — or why Obama’s carpet and Jan Brewer’s brain freeze are two sides of the same coin

When I was in high school, I developed a trick to make myself look smarter. I learned the beginning of a few key quotations, all tied into the classical literary or historic canon.

Helping American Jews learn to give Sarah Palin the love she deserves

Israel has no greater friend than Sarah Palin.

Paul Krugman: World War II was a miracle!

Thank God for the Nazis, says New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, for saving FDR from his own timid, cowardly, tight-fisted economic policies!

Antiwar Groups Battle for Survival?

Actually, no. See, “The Myth of the Struggling Antiwar Movement.” The old-fashioned understanding of the “antiwar” movement hardly explains the left’s anti-everything protest agenda nowadays.

Credit Card ‘Reform’ Will Force All Credit Purchases to Exceed $10

Previous to the current meddling by Congress, stores were technically not allowed to require a minimum purchase for credit cards.

On Palin, Obama, and Leadership

“This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word ‘victory,’ except when he’s talking about his own campaign…[W]hat exactly is our opponent’s plan?

Higher Yields: The Only Farming Answer

CHURCHVILLE, VA – Is the Green Movement finally ready to face the global need to triple crop yields over the next 40 years–and drop its dedication to land-selfish organic farming?

New York Times Buries Hallowed Memory of ‘Ground Zero’

The New York Times decided to use its major story on the World Trade Center Sunday to hammer critics of the proposed Victory Mosque at Ground Zero. Indeed, the Times basically claims it’s time to bury the hallowed terminology of “Ground Zero” altogether. I guess that’s just so much Bush-era jingoism in the new age […]

This is a book review of Greg Gutfeld’s, The Bible of Unspeakable Truths and Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind.

Called on the Carpet: Obama’s New WH Rug Muffs History

He grew up in Indonesia, his father was a Kenyan, and he’s been fighting the perception that he isn’t much of an American since he became a nationally known entity.
