Shelby Steele wrote a great piece in yesterday’s WSJ describing our post-modern race problem: how our country’s past problem of white racism against blacks has slowly shifted into what is now whites overcompensating and bending over backwards to prove that they are not racist—and throwing common sense out the window in the process. He writes: America... »

Despite Obama’s annoyingly smug self-assessment of a “B+” recently, an editorial in Britain’s Daily Telegraph gives Obama a big fat “F” for protecting Americans. This is too good to merely link or excerpt, so here it is: There is no more solemn duty for an American commander-in-chief than the marshalling of “all elements of American... »

In the wake of Senator Ben Nelson’s (D-NE) widely discussed vote, new polls are showing him losing the next election by a margin of 61-30!  That’s the great news; I really hope that every idiot who voted for this bill gets canned in their next election. The bad news, though, is that the next election... »

Sherman Frederick of the Las Vegas Review-Journal wrote a short but hilariously cynical piece in response to Harry Reid’s statement that it’s a senator’s job to get his state something in return for his vote on the heath care package. He wrote: I’m very disappointed. It’s Christmas morning and I can’t find one single gift to Nevada... »

This just has to be seen to be believed. Here is Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) drunk out of his mind, slurring and stammering his way through a bizarre tirade on the floor of the Senate. This guy is a disgrace to his office, to the state of Montana, to the Senate, and to the entire country. »

This from Politico: In what has to be one of the only humorous moments in this whole health care bill fiasco, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) actually voted NO on the bill before realizing his mistake and voting yes, prompting a laugh in the chamber, especially from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). (I guess we can’t... »

Yes, I know, the title of this post sounds a bit dry, but trust me, the article written by George Gilder, entitled “Silicon Israel”, is an incredible story of how far Israel has come in such an incredibly short time, and how it is still growing by leaps and bounds. Read it here. »

This story is hilarious: Obama’s Home Teleprompter Malfunctions During Family Dinner »

The Weekly Standard is reporting on a bombshell of a story, and this has apparently been confirmed by multiple other sources and reported by Glenn Beck (who broke the Van Jones scandal). If true, this is an outrageous display of Chicago-style dirty politics by our lying, conniving, arm-twisting, pompous president. The story, as told by... »

Why bother fighting the Democrats when they’re so busy fighting amongst themselves already? Even with a filibuster-proof majority in Congress, they still can’t get the votes to pass their party-line version of the bill. So, they have their president threaten non-conforming Senators, like Obama reportedly did with Ben Nelson (D-NE), threatening to shut down an air... »

The Democrats have been notorious for pulling bait-and-switch schemes in Congress this year. They introduce a bill for voting, then somewhere down the road, they introduce an amendment which rewrites entire sections of the bill, and try to have the amendment “considered read”, so that the vote is actually done on an amendment the... »
