Media-wise, Did the Bloom Just Come Off the Obama Rose?

Big Journalism "In the middle of it all was Obama — occupant of an office once informally known as “leader of the free world” — putting on a clinic for some of the world’s greatest dictators in how to circumvent a free press." Quoting liberal columnist Dana Milbank

March Diary; The Left in power

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE    "I don’t want my nation transformed. I was happy with it the way Ronald Reagan left it, plus or minus a few small tweaks. The principal thing I ask of federal politicians is to leave me the hell alone. That, of course, is something few politicians, and no Leftist politicians at all, can bring themselves to do."  John Derbyshire

Obama’s Waterloo

National Review "If Obamacare covers the euthanasia of conservatives, then it must surely be the aim of the GOP to repeal it. Replacing or reforming it would be fine, too, provided that what emerges is something very different from a state-financed and state-run health-care system. But here Republican despair springs its final trap: It is alleged to be impossible to repeal Obamacare (or any other government entitlement program) since the voters will never give up a “free” benefit, however costly it proves in taxes, freedom, or health."

Obama's Secret Power Grabs

Fox News "President Obama seems to believe that most of his sweeping agenda to transform the country can be accomplished without even a vote of Congress."

Who’s Behind the ‘Crash the Tea Party’ Website?

Pajamas Media "We can only hope that the exposure of this group to the broader American population will expose their dirty tricks before they discredit a movement seeking only a return to those values we hold most dear and in common with this nation’s founders. In other words, crashtheteaparty.org is the worst kind of gutter politics, promoted and practiced by those who provide only subversion where leadership is needed."

A MESSAGE ON RESPONSIBILITY

Boortz "Milton Friedman's response is worth a listen. Amazing how it still applies today, 32 years later. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the clip:

"Government doesn't have any responsibility. People have responsibility."


"There has never been a more effective machine for eliminating poverty than the free enterprise system and the free market."

"If you look at the real problems of poverty and the denial of freedom to people in this country, almost every single one of them is the result of government action."

"We have constructed a governmental welfare scheme, which has been a machine for producing poor people."  "

REPUBLICAN PRIORITIES

Nealz Nuze "For now the best the Republicans can promise is to cripple, not repeal, ObamaCare. This can be accomplished by simply refusing to fund the various ObamaCare proposals. Starve this monster of the money that it needs to operate. Here are some other principles on which the Republicans might run:"...

Radical Awakening: From America Hater to Hero

Big Government  "Brandon Darby learned something from Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela. Once a hard-core radical who sided with progressive revolutionaries, Darby prevented a left-wing terrorist attack on the 2008 GOP convention. Now, this America-loving patriot is the target of the domestic extremists he once called “friends.” "   Matthew Vadum   He's referring to the "peace and tolerance" crowd, of course.

The Irony of “Never Again”

Commentary  "Iran simultaneously denies the Holocaust, threatens a new one, and accuses Israel of being a Nazi regime. It denies what the Nazis did, announces plans to do it again, and accuses the prospective victims of being Nazis. Those propositions are crazy, but the more important point is they are parts of an integrated plan."  Rick Richman

Will Reality Intrude into the Nuclear Nonproliferation Summit?

Jennifer Rubin  "It’s not clear whether the Obama administration is practicing misdirection on a grand scale or is genuinely confused about which nuclear threats are real and which are not. But what is clear is that we’re not dealing with the real ones. Paul Wolfowitz explains:"...

Calling all Radicals: The Center for American Progress is Hiring

Big Government  "...We’ve created a convenient checklist so that you can see if you quality(sic) to work at John Podesta’s left-wing “think” tank, the Center for American Progress.

Did you ever sign a petition that stated “high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur”?

Do you support the convicted cop-killer, Mumia Abu-Jamal?

Are you a street agitator committed to Marxist revolution? "

"If you answered yes to all of the above questions, then you and Van Jones are kindred spirits. But, more importantly, what it really means is that your next paycheck could be cut and signed by Podesta himself."   Jason Mattera

Barney Frank gets a high-altitude haranguing on health care

Boston.com "Flying back to Boston from LA yesterday, the congressman was assailed by a pair of ophthalmologists upset about the health care reform bill. An argument ensued that prompted some passengers to wonder if the plane might be forced to land."

No Where Safe from Leftist Bombast: TV Mom Frets GOP House Guests 'Denying Global Warming'
