Union Violence? What Union Violence?

August 12, 2009 By

Pennsylvania Governor and major Hillary Clinton supporter Ed Rendell has found the key difference between conservative and leftist protesters: leftists are angels. Last night on MSNBC’s Hardball, Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth pointed out the excesses of Democratic (and further Left) rabble-rousers, Governor Rendell insisted on a distinction: There's a big difference. The rallies that … [Read more...]

Meet the Health Care Astroturfers

August 7, 2009 By

Finally, after a week of leftist complaints that the health care debate is being controlled by “astroturfers” — faux grassroots activists actually in the back pocket of super-rich special interests — MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” gave its viewers a chance to see such an activist. Unfortunately, he’s a leftist who supports socialized medicine. Former “West Wing” writer Lawrence … [Read more...]

Soros Care

August 7, 2009 By

A rising chorus of discontent – more a citizens uprising – shows Middle America’s deep suspicion of President Obama’s health care reform proposal. Average citizens have voiced their disapproval at townhall meetings hosted by Sen. Arlen Specter and HHS Director Kathleen Sebelius, Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Rep. Tim Bishop, and staffers of Sen. Claire McCaskill. In a burst of passion-envy, Chris … [Read more...]

Deadly Silence

July 30, 2009 By

Budapest, 1956. Prague, 1968. Gdansk, 1981. Tianenmen Square, 1989. Tehran, 2009. Each of these surprise flashpoints in history’s long march against totalitarianism proved as dazzling at its outset as it did hopeless at its extermination. Each of them left a trail of broken bodies, but the last was different than all its historical forebears in one way: the president of … [Read more...]

Demonizing Panetta’s CIA

July 10, 2009 By

The letter seven members of the House Intelligence Committee signed and promptly released to the media is at once blatant lobbying for an amendment that would expand Congressional access to classified intelligence and a potent example of its dangers. When the majority of Democrats on the most sensitive committee in Congress are disposed to leak a briefing in order to stigmatize the CIA, it is a … [Read more...]

Sotomayor’s Racialist Judicial Activism

June 26, 2009 By

This article originally appeared as the weekend lead for Friday, June 26, 2009. Five months later, it was chosen for inclusion in Opposing Viewpoints, America's Prisons, vol. 2. The inclusion is a special honor for me. Not only is the Opposing Viewpoints series in nearly every high school library in the country, but it provides an invaluable service: fairly representing conflicting views on an … [Read more...]

Holocaust Museum Shooter: Anti-Christian Socialist

June 11, 2009 By

On June 10, the nation tragically witnessed a memorial dedicated to commemorating one of history’s worst atrocities become the site of yet more death. Just before 1 p.m., longtime neo-Nazi James Wenneker Von Brunn entered the Holocaust Museum on the National Mall and opened fire in an attempt to complete the Final Solution his hero had left tentative, an omission Von Brunn labeled “Hitler’s … [Read more...]

How Much Uranium Would You Like?

June 3, 2009 By

Although candidate Obama declared a nuclear Iran would be “a game-changer,” his interview with the BBC has given Tehran the time and plausible deniability necessary to achieve its genocidal intentions. Continuing the failed policies of Bush’s second term, he added another dynamic: his interview implied Iran’s defiance may be the fault of the United States. Speaking on the eve of his … [Read more...]

Undersecretary of Naivete

June 1, 2009 By

Five months into the Obama administration, its chief export seems to be confidence, generously doled out to hostile nuclear regimes. Pleas for dialogue and understanding have yielded North Korean belligerence and Iranian defiance. President Obama’s nomination of Rep. Ellen Tauscher as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security will exacerbate rogue states’ worst … [Read more...]

Erratic

May 14, 2009 By

THE PRESIDENT’S INCREASINGLY ERRATIC HOMELAND SECURITY POLICIES just took another turn. President Obama announced yesterday that he will challenge the court-ordered release of 44 photos of interrogators abusing detainees after all. This comes just weeks after he announced he would release those photos, and up to 2,000 pictures in all, by May 28. For once, the president is right: change … [Read more...]
