A portion of President Obama’s Speech deciphered: “I’m done pretending to be bipartisan. I won a second term so I don’t have to fake it anymore. I have David Gregory, the New York Times and an entire cable news network, hundreds of bloggers and online writers promoting my marketing campaign as the new Abraham Lincoln. […]
Oh, how far-removed we are from what now seems like the “innocent” Bill Clinton days when all we had to worry about was the various definitions of the word “is”. And now, after watching President Obama’s second term inaugural address, it is clear we have a president who calls into question the meaning of the […]
In his first term, President Obama passed two of the most sweeping expansions of federal power in history. The first, his federal takeover of the health care system, narrowly survived at the Supreme Court thanks to the refashioning of its mandate into a tax by Chief Justice John Roberts. The second , his federal takeover […]
Even as Obama stood in front of hundreds of thousands of admirers during his inaugural speech saying that we needed to end the name calling, many in his party and many of his surrogates have utterly ignored that advice. “We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned […]
De•tail•phobe (n.) (•phobia) (•phobic (adj.) ) Many among us have been noticing that, while a lot of widely-known events are game changers and should not be — in fact, shouldn’t even be widely-known — there are other such events that are not game-changers although they should be. The American people do not seem to be […]
Surprisingly, Kathleen Parker makes some salient points (Washington Post) It must be true what they say about women – that they are smarter, stronger, wiser and wilier than your average Joe. How else could one explain the magical thinking that apparently has prompted Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint […]
The big news on court decisions was about the Obama violating the Constitution when he made 3 recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (which made Lawyers, Guns, and Money’s Scott Lemieux go barking moonbat with his headline). Yet, another was just as important but slid under the rada (Daily Caller) A federal court […]
Liberalism offers up a utopian vision of the world and then invites its practitioners to feel good about themselves for embracing it. Not only does this beautiful fantasy world never come to pass, liberalism fails to address the root causes of the problems it sets out to solve while creating whole new disasters in the […]
In a recent story intended to be serious, the Wall Street Journal identified Eva Longoria as a Washington D.C. “power player.” And all this time, I thought the Journal prided itself on serious journalism. Fooled me! Longoria, former star of the night time soap opera Desperate Housewives is hobnobbing with President Obama and other Washington […]
In the days following the attacks on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya last year the Obama administration insisted the whole thing was a result of Muslim ire at an anti-Islam film posted to Youtube. Today, after Hillary testified in front of the Senate over her role in the debacle, White House spokesman Jay Carney is […]
Another reminder that the most radical excesses of the acid-crazed flower child era are now effectively mainstream: Left-wing ’60s radical and onetime domestic terrorist Bill Ayers will be a keynote speaker at the Association of Teacher Educators annual conference in Atlanta next month. Ayers gained notoriety alongside his wife Bernardine Dohrn as a member of […]
The housing crisis that tanked the economy at the end of the Bush Administration was created by Congress. Congress wrote the rules in a way that almost forced banks to make risky loans. That led to an over-expansion of the housing market and that, combined with a large number of defaults, caused the housing bubble […]
It is more than likely going nowhere. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, himself a supporter of 2nd Amendment rights (hey, one good mark for him), may not even bring it up for a vote, instead allowing it to languish in committee. And, if he does bring it up, he may not have the votes. And, […]
Nice to see that someone gets it (Daily Caller) During an address to the Ripon Society on Tuesday, Boehner revealed that Holtz consulted him via text messages on Monday night following Obama’s inauguration. “Last night, I got a three-page text from my good friend Lou Holtz, who must have watched the inaugural and then all […]
A lot of people in Washington apparently forgot how good Hillary Clinton is at not telling the truth. Wednesday, in her testimony before both the Senate and, later, the House, Clinton brilliantly fudged, dodged and filibustered. Of course, she’s a pro. Clinton was slow-walking depositions, lawyering up and shifting blame when many of her questioners […]
(SET ITAL) (This is the second part of an ongoing series on federal “Common Core” education standards and the corruption of academic excellence.) (END ITAL) The Washington, D.C., board of education earned widespread mockery this week when it proposed allowing high school students — in the nation’s own capital — to skip a basic U.S. […]
President Obama in his inaugural address made it clear he intends to protect the nation’s entitlement programs. In the world of Washington politics, this amounts to a pledge that the president will make sure that no changes will be made to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Republicans in Congress won’t challenge him because just […]
“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked the Senate Foreign […]
Welcome to an America with liberalism in full ascendancy as golfer Phil Mickelson apologizes for doing nothing wrong while the Obama administration lambasts its opponents for justly demanding it apologize for doing plenty wrong on Benghazi. Welcome to a land where the gravest problem threatening the nation is spending, where the Democratic president refuses to […]
Only liberals are cheered on by the media to let their ideological freak flags fly. When liberals offer “advice” (or “analysis”) to conservatives, it’s always the same: 1. We must compromise. 2. We must concede the general outline of the liberal agenda. 3. We must buckle under — For our survival! And what bothers us […]
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is taking a break from acting to help save the environment by pursuing his environmental activism but maybe someone needs to tell him how “saving the environment” might work. DiCaprio told members of the entertainment media that after doing so many movies in a row he’s tired and needs a break from […]
Just what does it take to get an unhinged left-wing kook thrown out of the GOP? Endorsing a Marxist against his own party’s candidate didn’t work the first time or even the second. Publicly palling around with wild-eyed Whitey-hater Louis Farrakhan didn’t work. Denouncing gun rights and accusing his party of anti-black racism even after […]
There are two divergent views of the military. One of them is that it’s primarily a fighting force that we send out to kill people, break things and protect our way of life. The other view says it’s just another government program that’s all about politics and social engineering experiments. Even at the highest levels […]
It’s been awhile, but they finally found something to be outraged about. What is it? This (Telegraph) Austria’s Turkish community said the model was based on Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul and that the accompanying figures depicted Asians and Orientals as people with “deceitful and criminal personalities.” The Turkish Cultural Community of Austria released a […]
Which will go nowhere, but, will give the anti-gunnites a chance to bloviate (USA Today) California Democrat Dianne Feinstein will begin her fourth full term as a U.S. senator much as she started her Senate career: fighting for a ban on assault weapons. Feinstein’s new bill, which will be introduced Thursday in the Senate, among […]
