The Obama administration may call it Operation Odyssey Dawn, but I think my name is more appropriate. This is Obama’s war. Worse, it’s a war seemingly without a legitimate foreign policy goal; it also follows the administration’s lack of real outrage at the release, by the British government, of the Lockerbie terrorist al-Megrahi (who still hasn’t croaked). Full Disclosure: I would love to see Qaddafi | Read More »
Well…not exactly. It isn’t that man-made global warming is the cause of these uprisings; it’s the policies, what I call the dogma of the religion of Anthropogenic Climatism, being used to “fight” it. For years, the Dept. of Agriculture has subsidized farmers, especially those growing corn, to funnel their harvest towards the production of corn-based ethanol and biofuels instead of as food; as a result, | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. There was one thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post. Kessler actually provides the definition of a particularly critical word; ironically, she completely undermines the definition in the same paragraph, then then spends the rest of the opinion further undermining that definition because it doesn’t fit her political views. But this | Read More »
You know, there are still a lot of people who believe President Obama is a Muslim (I’m with Ann Coulter; I think he’s an atheist). He insists he’s a Christian who prays frequently. Members of the Democrat media keep bringing this up to various Republicans and conservatives, usually with a birther question to go with it, in order to keep this going as an issue | Read More »
As I mentioned here, one has to wonder where President Obama is when it comes to democracy. When the protests in Egypt really got going, the administration muddled its way through making one contradictory statement after another. Finally, after Mubarak was out, Obama gave a speech where he said the following: We stand ready to provide whatever assistance is necessary — and asked for — | Read More »
From this piece in Time magazine, an unhappy revelation: The Obama administration cut democracy and governance aid to Egyptian opposition groups in its first two years in office from $45 million in George W. Bush’s last budget to $25 million for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. The Obama administration also stopped providing aid to groups that had not registered with the Egyptian government, drawing | Read More »
When mistakes are made which lead to negative consequences, most people learn take the lesson to heart and avoid repeating those mistakes. President Obama and the Democrat-majority Congress made a ton of mistakes during Obama’s first two years in office. The people threw a large bunch of those Democrats out of their jobs in Congress; the Democratic super-majority in the Senate is a thing of | Read More »
During President Obama’s State of the Union address, he made numerous references to government “investments”; for anyone with a clue, he meant government spending. Even as the federal government’s debt approaches 100% of GDP, there was Obama calling for more spending. And not just any spending; he wants it to go the liberals’ pet programs du jour, while leaving in place spending for failed pet | Read More »
I don’t know if the Soros puppets at his Media Matters are Christians, but I have my doubts. During yesterday’s National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama shared this passage from Isaiah 40:31: “Those who wait on the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, and they will run and not be weary, and they will walk and not faint,” the president said during a speech to | Read More »
No, not the one running Egypt. I mean the Obama regime: A Louisiana federal judge on Wednesday held the Interior Department in contempt for re-imposing a deepwater oil-drilling ban last year after the judge had struck down an earlier version of the moratorium. That would be U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman. His original ruling chastised the Department of the Interior for imposing the ban | Read More »
You know, I get more woozy listening to Barack Obama than I do drinking several boilermakers, each consisting of a shot of my favorite tequila (Sauza Conmemorativo) with a beer chaser (I also like 1800 Reposado). I’m listening to Barack Obama speak on Mark Levin’s show and it makes my head spin (full video here). All of a sudden we have a replay of history | Read More »
I took a glimpse at the left’s next attack on Palin. I thought it so stupid and petty as to be completely undeserving of a comment. I need to remember to stop underestimating how persistent the left is when pushing their deliberate falsehoods. The latest meme is their claim that Palin said the Soviets won the Space Race with Sputnik although it led to the | Read More »
Newsweek has a story that indicates the Obama administration may start pushing gun control. Apparently, gun control groups were not one bit happy that the President failed to mention anything about guns during the SOTU, which the White House says was intentional to avoid the appearance of trying to capitalize on the Tucson tragedy. But not to worry. The administration’s “never let a crisis go | Read More »
No, I don’t mean “Winning the Future”. There are three other observations on the SOTU I want to offer. First, Obama mentioned Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of the tragedy in Tuscon. That’s fine in and of itself since the event was so awful, especially since a child was murdered. There was nothing, nothing, about the atrocity in Pennsylvania where at least seven | Read More »
Disclaimer: I didn’t watch President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech or either response from Rep. Paul Ryan or Rep. Michelle Bachmann. I haven’t watched any of Obama’s speeches. For one thing, they’re boring. Second, they’re too long. Third, I can tell by reading them that they aren’t nearly as good as many would have us believe. His recent Tuscon speech was an exception; | Read More »
The pro-abortion zealots reach to great lengths to justify the barbarity they support. Thers at Whiskey Fire put up a snark-filled “rebuttal” to this RedState post from the Directors, replete with the typical dehumanization of the unborn, as if the unborn were somehow a different species, and an inane accusation that the RedState post might incite violence. But Thers isn’t alone; Media Matters also makes | Read More »
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is the most overturned court in the United States. One of the judges most frequently reversed is the Carter-appointed Stephen Reinhardt. Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued four rulings, all of which were reversals, all of which were unanimous, and two of which (here and here) were reversals of 9th Circuit decisions (the other two reversed 6th Circuit decisions). The | Read More »
Today marks the 38th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court travesty. As we’ve been horrified to learn, Kermit Gosnall ran a house of horrors that some would call an abortion clinic. If he and the others are guilty of the crimes they have allegedly committed, nothing would please me more than to see him and those others fried for their crimes. But | Read More »
But in a good way. Remember that Stuxnet virus? Well, the New York Times has a long story on how it was a joint U.S./Israeli venture to undermine Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities. The key point is about a third of the way into the piece: The project’s political origins can be found in the last months of the Bush administration. In January 2009, The New | Read More »
The other day, I posted on Sarah Palin’s video regarding last week’s tragedy in Tuscon. I had said at the end that I hoped President Obama would keep politics out of his speech. To be fair, I think he did that; metaphorically speaking, I believe he made it a point to spank the Left, his support, for their completely outrageous behavior (Byron York somewhat disagrees, | Read More »
