Question for Obama

Probable lie #1: They're not. Probable lie #2: They destroy the environment Probable lie #3: Who wants to be a cowboy? Reality: Governor Perry has made Texas the best place to do business. Hmmm, Perry looks like a much...

How to give your responses to the GOP more weight

We get around 20 GOP solicitations per day. Usually, we put a note in the postage paid return envelope explaining why we won't give them a dime, and we won't ever give the GOP a dime until it returns to conservative principles. Hint to the GOP: foisting RINOs on us as presidential candidates doesn't cut it. We do give to true conservative candidates and Sarahpac is an example of causes we support. I post this in jest but...

Melanie Phillips reviews Alan Dershowitz's apology for Obama on Israel

Alan Dershowitz wrote a limp defense of Obama's Israel policy in the WSJ. Melanie Phillips responds and demolishes him in the Spectator. Obama is a lily-livered Marxist, and Netanyahu is a hard-nosed leader defending the very existence of his country, his people and...

Honduras shows Obama's true colors

From an email to Jonah Goldberg on the Corner:

The country is bewildered that the world, especially the United States, is not on their side. Zelaya was confident of his plans to convert Honduras into a Venezuelan satellite. The Honduran people are proud of their constitution and are proud to have a functioning democratic system. Zelaya was replaced by...

Obama has destroyed the Left

Admiral Yamamoto may not have said:

I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve

but he did understand that it was a terrible mistake to attack he United States. Obama has attempted what Yamamoto attempted. He has launched a sneak attack upon the heart of the United States of America. Obama has plunged our nation...

One of my readers defended Obama's ignorance on CO2

Dan said:

Uh, no, CO2 isn't a chemical pollutant in the way that CO or NO2 or SO2 are air pollutants that harm us when we breathe them, but it does have a strong heat-trapping effect on the earth's atmosphere. Doubling or tripling pre-industrial concentrations of CO2 will cause large-scale changes in the climate over a very short time scale, on the order of decades. Sure, the climate has changed many times in the planet's history, but this will be a sharply abrupt change,...

Obama's incredible ignorance of basic science

Powerline notes an incredibly ignorant Obama claim:

In his press conference today, President Obama talked about the cap-and-trade energy tax that the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress. Obama's nose grew a couple of inches as he uttered this howler:
At a time of great fiscal challenges, this legislation is paid for by the polluters who currently emit...

Eight Republicans gave victory to the worst bill in US history

The final margin was 219 to 212. Eight Republicans sided with the Democrats. The vote should have been 211 to 220. The names of those renegade Republicans should go down in infamy. They are: Mary Bono Mack Mike Castle

Do I care Michael Jackson died?

Why am I unable to watch important news on places like Iran and Iraq on my TV? Because some weird pop singer died and it's getting 24x7 coverage. Like, we need to see shots of ambulances rolling up to ER to understand the gravity of what happened. My brother-in-law called me to inform me that Michael Jackson was still dead, just in case I wasn't watching TV. Thanks for nothing.

Governor Mark Sanford betrayed his voters

Powerful men in American public office sometimes forget how they achieved their positions. They forget that they are the servants of the people and need to maintain public propriety. Sanford had the trust of the people of South Carolina and he betrayed that trust by skipping off to Argentina to pursue an extra-marital affair. One might point out that Democrats appear to be much more prone to such failings and far less prone to exposure. The Kennedy dynasty serves as a prime example.
