Talking of “Bush tax cuts” at this point, as so many seem to do when discussing the change in tax policy set to go into force this coming New Years Day, is beyond absurd. What’s coming on Jan. 1, 2011 is the Obama Tax Increase — no less than the largest tax increase in our history, courtesy of a president who, last Tax Day, declared | Read More »
In the post below, Fox Sports echoes what so many of us have been saying since President Obama heaved a 5.6 oz sphere 56 feet on July 14 — and sets itself up even further as the anti-ESPN with its refusal to kiss the ring of the First Fan on a daily basis. The idea that Obama is both athletic and some sports “superfan” — | Read More »
Tonight’s presser was simply more of the same from the self-styled “agent of change” and “post-partisan politician”: Pure politics, unwavering liberal ideology, appallingly transparent scare tactics, demonization of a nameless opposition, and an argument so thick with straw men that the President had better wait until he’s several hundred meters away to light his next cigarette, lest the entire building go up in flames. Obama’s | Read More »
The faux outrage over “torture” during the Bush War on Terror (I refer to it as the “Bush” war because, under Obama, we’re apparently replacing the “Global War on Terror” with the “Multiple-Day Standoff on Man-Caused Disasters”) is no more becoming of the left now than it was two, three, or four years ago. Co-opting the word “torture” to include methods far less offensive than | Read More »
Isn’t it just a pain in the neck when there’s an alternative media that prevents strict message control by a staged-photo-op of an administration and its willing mouthpieces in the MSM? It’s painless for us, of course; rather, that pain is being felt in the necks of those who want to insist that a bow to a Saudi king isn’t a bow, that an omnibus | Read More »
Barely two weeks into his first term in office, President Obama is sucking for air and grasping at straws to pull even the semblance of a single victory of any kind out of the rubble that is fast becoming his presidency. His Washington Post op-ed, and the other tactics being employed in the offensive he is waging to get this unstimulative $800,000,000,000.00 pork barrel spending | Read More »
According to FoxNews.com: It took four years for Google to address the “Google bomb” that was lobbed at former President Bush. But it took the Internet behemoth only a few days to defuse the same attack on President Obama. … In 2003, President Bush’s detractors successfully gamed the Google search engine by arranging to have countless Web sites link the words “miserable failure” to Bush’s | Read More »
Tomorrow, we will witness one of the great events in human history. Yes, an African-American will be inaugurated president for the first time since America’s founding — and I’ll get to that momentarily — but that’s not what I’m referring to here. What I’m talking about here is far more underrated, and far more consistently historic. You see, tomorrow we will witness that rarest of | Read More »
Update: Courtesy of reader HerbC, the National Portrait Gallery’s telephone number is 202-633-8276. Though I doubt they’ll respond to demands from hoi polloi over those of a sitting Senator (these folks know where their funding comes from, after all), some public pushback on this issue will at least have the benefit of making known the fact that we’re paying attention and don’t approve of the | Read More »
Like that rat-b@$t@rd Cheney, who the Philadelphia Inquirer excoriates in a editorial today for refusing to admit he’s a criminal! /snark Seriously, if the Left’s BDS is going to remain in full force until Bush and Cheney admit that every megalomaniacal fantasy that has been spun about them over the last eight years is true, it’ll be fun to watch heads continue exploding all over | Read More »
UPDATE: My good friend and colleague Pejman Yousefzadeh’s response, straightforward and thoughtful as always, can be seen here. If you want to see Bush Derangement Syndrome on full display, toss a room full of lefty “strategists,” academics, and party apparatchiks a question like “What’s the best, and the worst, that can be said about the presidency of George W. Bush?” All you have to do | Read More »
I originally posted this at Politico‘s “Arena” blog in response to the question of the day, which was “The Gaza war: What should the U.S. do?” America should provide all of the support we can to Israel in their attempt to root out and eliminate the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza, just as we asked our allies to do when we retaliated against al Qaeda | Read More »
The Washington Times has the exclusive scoop: For much of the past seven years, President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have waged a clandestine operation inside the White House. It has involved thousands of military personnel, private presidential letters and meetings that were kept off their public calendars or sometimes left the news media in the dark. Their mission: to comfort the families of | Read More »
Here’s a nugget from Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA 27), in a floor speech made yesterday just after 7pm CDT: Transcript: Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill, on Monday, the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points in the first day, another couple thousand the second day, and a few members were | Read More »
Members of the Democrat Congress are dusting off their handy rubber stamps (or unwrapping new ones, inscribed with the new Presidential motto, “Vero Possumus”) in preparation for the round of tax hikes their assumed President-in-Waiting is promising to send down the pipe next Spring in the name of “making the rich pay their fair share.” Not to let real facts get in the way of | Read More »
