Obama, Goldilocks, and American Exceptionalism

Our Goldilocks president – I call him that because he supports things like the war in Afghanistan but then undercuts himself by saying he still wants to get out of Dodge ASAP and can never find a cause that is “just right” – is going to cause a lot of problems for himself, our...

Another Liberal Myth Busted: Terrorists are Poor with Few Options

Liberals love to talk about how America is oppressing the poor around the world – economically, environmentally, socially, militarily.  Popular culture is filled with these messages.  The movie Syianna is an example.  A poor immigrant turns to terrorism because he has no other options.  He...

Obama’s Jimmy Carter Style Not Making Friends – Surprised?

Thank you Jimmy Carter! Jimmy Carter made his administration all about “human rights.”  He indicated to our ally, the Shah of Iran, that he should treat the radical Islamic followers of Khomeini nicer.  He withdrew support from the Shah and he was soon overthrown.  The Iranian radicals...

Iranians Protest and are Murdered, Nobel Winner Obama is Silent

President Obama is faced with a vexing problem in Iran – the more he says he is willing to talk with them the fewer results he gets from that regime.  We know Iran is set on developing nuclear power (though they are sitting on a sea of oil) and we are pretty certain they are using their nuclear...

When You’re Nice to the Bad Guys You Look Like an Ass

President Obama thought he would fight evil with kindness.  Although he didn’t seem to think so, any intelligent person could foresee this “strategy” would backfire.  From the latest chapter of Obama’s Political Education we have Iran’s President Ahmadinejad mocking...

Why the Democrats Push Despite Opinion Polls

Every reputable polling organization out there is showing Obama and the Democrats running in the negative as far as popularity goes.  The more Obama and his party push for Big Government the more they run into the negative.  Gallup last had Obama at just 47% favorable, a record low for a president...

Obama’s al Qaeda Excuse

Time to get on the terrorism merry-go-round again. With September 11th having recently passed people remember the attacks of 2001.  Since President Obama is so big on blaming Bush for everything when the political heat gets too much (Iraq, Afghanistan, economy, automobile industry, GITMO, SDI, healthcare,...

Ted Kennedy Goes Behind Ronald Reagan’s Back to the KGB

We have another Quisling on our hands. Much information is being revealed, or should I say re-revealed, about the life and times of Ted Kennedy, now deceased.  As someone who grew up in the 1980s there were many policy decisions made which, at the time, I did not either follow or understand because...

Why Obama’s “Friends” Policy Doesn’t Work

Cuba news ticker: let freedom (not) ring. Democrats, Obama specifically when he was running for president, thought the U.S. should have more of a touchy-feeling policy towards what President G.W. Bush called the “axis of evil” a scary term for Liberals because it brought up that whole good...

Staying Quiet on Iran Paid Off (Not)!

Many people have bought the lie that Obama was “wise” and “smart” and “un-Bush like” by saying little about the events in Iran during last weekend.  The argument goes something like this: If the President of the United States tip toes around the situation and doesn’t...

What Liberals Will Say If the Iranian Government Falls

Mousavi isn't a saint but he's all the opposition in Iran's got. Let’s be honest here about “engaging” with a regime that hates us – it’s a risky move.  President Obama can get away with this gamble because he casts himself as the polar opposite of George W....

Liberalism, Obama, and Learning

Carter says Hamas isn't a terrorist organization. Few seem to remember it now, but in March of 2007 Iran showed how “friendly” it could be towards Western powers when it seized, at gunpoint, 15 British sailors and Marines as they were inspecting Iraqi ships.  According to a Washington...
