Afghani Cage Match: Senator Obama vs. President Obama on the Ongoing War

Pretty straightforward stuff, wouldn’t you say?  Fairly demonstrative with regard to a major shift in perspective by the president of the United States on a major campaign and policy issue?  Probably a little more than damaging, to the president, especially considering how much he continues to lose support from even his own side of the [...]

Pants on Fire

NBC Chicago: Redactions Revealed: The Six Secrets You Need to Know From the Obama Subpoena Request Okay, without getting too much into the background (the point of Assigned Reading is that you read it yourself, folks!), what you need to know is that yesterday, counsel for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich filed a motion asking [...]

Taxed Enough Already? Not for Obama and the Democrats.

I can make a firm pledge.  Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase — not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes.  Not any of your taxes. As seen in that great new video from the House Republican Conference, [...]

Once Upon A Time In America

Preface There is story to every American. A story to their past, their present, and a dream of their future. Human beings are naturally attracted to stories, especially ones that captivate their attention and support their values and emotions.

What’s In a Logo? **UPDATED**

Washington Times: Missile Defense Agency Logo Takes Cue From Obama Campaign ’08? From a joint named “weaselzippers” (great name) via the Washington Times, here’s something I just don’t quite know what to make of. There’s a new logo in use for the Missile Defense Agency.  The old one was straight-forward.  It had Earth, it had [...]

More Funding for ACORN in Budget

Investors Business Daily: Acorn-ucopia Didn’t Acorn, the corrupt community organizer, get its federal funding yanked after its last scandal? Actually, no. Through municipal middlemen, it’s poised to rake in another $4 billion. Where is the outrage? You’d think a group implicated in dozens of electoral fraud cases, theft of funds and, most recently, helping criminals [...]

It Isn’t All Obama’s Fault

As President Barack Obama juggled faux accountability with the stubbornness of an ideologue last week, it’s important to understand that it isn’t all Barack Obama’s fault.  It isn’t — the Democrats have to take their share of the blame, too. I wouldn’t expect someone like Barack Obama to understand this; his education is woefully inadequate [...]

Brown Win = Hillary in 2012

We’re all very excited about the Boston Tea Party 2.0. And we should be. But not long after the results were announced I realized that there was someone else who was–if anything–even more enthusiastic about the Brown win than any of us. Who might that person be? Hillary Rodham Clinton. Back in July I wrote [...]

A Year of Broken Promises

Fox Business: John Stossel: Obama’s Broken Promises Considering that today is the one-year anniversary of President Barack Obama’s now-broken promise that the terrorist detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba would be closed and the detainees relocated, I was delighted to see this convenient little piece by Fox Business Network’s resident libertarian, John Stossel. Here’s a [...]

The Anniversary of Hope

As you are probably aware, the first year of President Barack Obama’s presidency has officially come and gone as of today, and everyone who considers him or herself a news commentator worth listening to will have something to say about the year that “made history.” (As if there were years that did not make history.)
