Children Running the White House

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Obama is a child: Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R., Mich.), the ranking Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee, tells NRO that the Obama administration’s national-security apparatus is in “free fall” and showing “no adult leadership.” Duh.

Terrorist for Oil

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

What did Obama say? Why did Obama not oppose blood for oil? And so it goes in the Britain that once was: The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for return to Libya, leaked ministerial letters reveal. Gordon [...]

Wrong on So Much and The Man Who Killed National Health Care

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Who is this one man? Ted Kennedy: Jacoby’s summary of Kennedy’s foreign policy legacy is startling: Abroad, he failed to take seriously the stakes in the Cold War. “Today, with the exception of East Germany, Russia has no more satellites,’’ he wrote in 1968, the year Soviet tanks invaded Czechoslovakia. He hailed Leonid Brezhnev, the [...]

We Do Not Want British Health Care

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Which is what ObamaCare will do: In the last six years, the Patients Association claims hundreds of thousands have suffered from poor standards of nursing, often with ‘neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel’ treatment. Wonderful.

Monstrous Kennedy

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Sick: I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, “have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?” That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo [...]

There is No Greater Failing

Jennifer Rubin discusses Obama back stabbing: As a colleague expressed to me yesterday, “this is a form of madness.” The Obama administration sees the CIA as the enemy, not the terrorists. It chooses to employ the full force of the federal government against our own protectors, not those who seek to murder Americans. This has [...]

Ted Kennedy, RIP

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

77 years: In succumbing to brain cancer at his family’s home in Hyannis Port, Mass., Mr. Kennedy became the only one of four dynamic Kennedy brothers to die of natural causes, or even live long enough to see his hair turn white. President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert Kennedy were assassinated in the 1960s, [...]

More Liberal Fascism

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

They will do what we let them do. Do Not Let Them. Two callers in particular supported this theory. One gentleman told me he’d emailed Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.) to register opposition to the House health care bill. He received an email response from Bean’s office the next day (entirely appropriate), followed by the Axelrod [...]

What Makes America Great

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Awesome: I have been saying “thank you” for a number of years in my own special way when I travel (not living in a “service” town, I don’t often see Service members except when I fly somewhere). Before I fly I start stocking up on Starbucks gift cards and when I am in the airport [...]
