Obama’s Applause Lines Tell Us Everything

Click to watch excerpts of Obama's UN speech. David Horowitz commented on The One’s sellout speech to the UN this morning. Sometimes one stray fact is enough to tell a whole story: The biggest applause lines by far were his declaration that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” and his pledge to end the Israeli “occupation that began in 1967.” The … [Read more...]

Obama’s Dangerous UN Agenda

Much commentary about Barack Obama’s speech to the United Nations on Wednesday, September 23, 2009, has focused on his description of pre-Obama America as a deadbeat, lawless, foot-dragging country that tortures innocent Muslims, or did until his glorious ascension to the right hand of power. The predictable emphasis on the speech’s most offensive aspects overlooks more dangerous points: … [Read more...]

Stupid Defenseless Initiative

MANY COMMENTATORS HAVE WONDERED WHAT CONCESSIONS BARACK OBAMA WRUNG out of the Russian leadership in exchange for canceling a major missile defense initiative in Eastern Europe this week. Some have speculated he attained, or at least sought, cooperation in stifling Iran’s nuclear program. Unfortunately, it appears the president sold out two close allies, rewarded Moscow’s belligerence, and … [Read more...]

Jimmy Carter’s Record on Race

As Jimmy Carter portrays conservatives as violent racists, it’s worth remembering Carter’s own history of racial demagoguery. Carter campaigned for governor of Georgia as a self-proclaimed"redneck" in an era when that word had pronounced racial connotations. His campaign distributed a photo of his gubernatorial opponent Carl Sanders being embraced by black basketball players to a Ku Klux … [Read more...]

Valerie Jarrett: The Next Van Jones

I was gratified to learn Sean Hannity mentions this article in his newest book, Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda. In chapter two, Sean gives a brief overview of Jarrett and Marilyn Katz, among others. This article has a great deal more background information about these women, as they are (thankfully) not the book's focus. I'm proud and pleased that Sean Hannity cites this … [Read more...]

Pulling the Trigger?

The president’s health care speech last night consisted of discredited canards bookended by emotional manipulation. Between his distortions, token gestures for opponents, and lengthy bouts of tongue-lashing, Barack Obama signaled he will continue pushing forward toward socialized medicine. However, it seems likely he will move incrementally through a final bill that will nationalize health care … [Read more...]

Obama Supports Communists (and Narcoterrorists) Abroad, Too

In all the excitement over Van Jones’ resignation, people missed President Obama supporting Communists abroad, as he did at home. Late last week, SSINO (Secretary of State In Name Only) Hillary Clinton met with ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and cut off all remaining funds for Honduras’ government: $30 million now, and $215 million over four years. Leftists are pushing for the IMF to … [Read more...]

A Big Hand for the Little Blog

As I noted, this is far from the time to become complacent: one radical socialist is gone from the White House, but the man who appointed him is still the most powerful man in the free world. Nonetheless, we might be justified to take a moment to make one genuinely optimistic appraisal: Van Jones was ejected from office without the reporting of a single major media outlet. This underscores … [Read more...]

Conspiracy Czar

IT MUST MARK A NEW LOW IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY when the fact that someone is a self-described Communist is not the most damning thing that can be said of a presidential adviser. Not only is Green Jobs Czar Van Jones a 9/11 Truther, but his organization believes Hurricane Katrina was a Bush conspiracy, as well. His unique combination of radicalism and irresponsibility provides a window into Barack … [Read more...]

Did MSNBC Fake Its Own Transcript to Cover for Ed Schultz?

MSNBC: where Ed Schultz's idiocy goes down the memory hole. Does MSNBC edit its transcripts to make its hosts look better and conservatives look worse? The network’s transcript of Monday’s edition of “The Ed Show” did just that. Host Ed Schultz had on Ron Christie, former deputy advisor to Dick Cheney, to discuss Obama’s ever-weakening Homeland Security policies. In the … [Read more...]
