You may not have been keeping up with the recent spate of Obama administration scandals, perhaps because you have an interesting, fulfilling life; or your internet soup business isn’t panning out like you thought so you couldn’t pay your cable bill; or you’re a conservative and you’ve just given up on following the news, because … Read more

Wide Awake

As the White House struggles with all these scandals, a lot of conservatives are thinking, “Finally, maybe this will make [insert name of presumably slumbering group here] wake up and things will start to change!” I don’t want to depress anybody, but I don’t want you to set yourselves up for disappointment either.

by

In honor of the Giglio-free inauguration today, here’s the Anchoress with some big-picture thoughts on what the pastor’s exclusion means: An ancillary concern, but one that must be mentioned: Almost immediately following Giglio’s withdrawal, social media discussions erupted, even among thoughtful people, about which “gay friendly presumed” preacher should replace him.

Well, Sure. Why Else Would He Do All Those Things?

by

Perhaps sensing that a constant middle finger raised toward traditionally religious Americans might lead to some serious electoral problems, the Obama campaign has released, at the 11th hour, a video claiming a moral, religious motivation for Obama’s policies. No, really. Here it is: For those of you who couldn’t watch more than a few seconds … Read more

Why Obama Losing woud be Better for Race Relations than Obama Winning

by

The racial grievance industry has been so successful that in recent history it has had a tendency to counteract itself. There are so many legal protections against discrimination in place, that sometimes employers don’t want to hire someone from a protected class for fear that they won’t be able to fire them. Or if they … Read more

Skewed Polling: We All Know How Painful That Can Be

by

We’re going to be hearing a lot about “skewed polls” between now and the election, because a lot of the big polls are showing Obama with a sizable lead, and as Rush said, “If that’s true, it’s over.” So, Romney supporters will believe that the polls aren’t true because Romney supporters need to believe the … Read more

Here’s your updated American flag, on sale now at the Obama for America store: If you’re cool with this, how would you have responded if George W. Bush had replaced the stars on the flag with a big “W”? Is nobody creeped out by this stuff? You know, the replacement of American symbolism with Obama … Read more

Reasons Not to Have an Economic Illiterate in the White House

by

Richard Epstein plumbs the depths of Barack Obama’s economic ignorance, and man, there’s some plumbing to do: The president’s speech was equally lacking when it came to the topics of free enterprise and international trade.

"2016: Obama’s America" and Why We Don’t Need It

by

I wish all the success in the world to Dinesh D’Souza and his movie 2016: Obama’s America. It’s good when anybody does the work of looking into Obama’s background that the press has refused to do. But, really, what is there to know about him that we don’t already know? A documentary can fill in … Read more
