Avatar Is Heaven for America Haters

Pajamas Media "James Cameron's depiction of Americans as vile oppressors practically invites terrorists to take up arms against the U.S."

Truman, Obama, and Executive Orders

Blackfive "And if I was in the military, knowing that he doesn't consider the military a friend, how would I feel about a Commander in Chief who treats his political allies this badly? I guess what I'm saying is that I'd watch my back, if I was one of you active duty guys."

Left Goes Bonkers Over McDonnell’s Crowd

Jennifer Rubin "The Left is freaking out. Gov. Bob McDonnell gave an impressive, error-free, and remarkably effective response to the SOTU. He might be the next “It” on the Republican side. That means it’s time to attack! Over at Daily Kos, they don’t like the diverse crowd that was seated behind McDonnell..."

BARACK THE VOTE: A Who’s Who of Those Targeting Our Youth

Big Hollywood "For example, in the video, a geeky-looking guy holding a “no death panels” placard is described as a liar, and the hot chick wearing a partially-unbuttoned plaid shirt is told to “lie right back” to him by telling him, “I’m on my period and I don’t have a vagina.” Har-dee-har. (There’s more, but you can see the lameness for yourself, if you so choose.)"...."So who are the geniuses behind Rock the Vote? Big Hollywood takes a peek at some current and former key players."

Tim Tebow Open Thread: Is It Controversial to Celebrate Life on Super Sunday?

Big Journalism "The Heisman Trophy winner — un-aborted, home-schooled, and a devout Christian — is causing a stir on the Left with his upcoming Super Sunday ad extolling the virtues of the pro-life position. Since his mother was advised to abort him, maybe he ought to know."

Foreign Policy AWOL in SOTU

Max Boot in Commentary "Rather than offer any specific support for Iranian democrats or call for the overthrow of their oppressors, Obama devoted far more time to promoting “our incredible diversity” at home — including an effort to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which may make sense but is sure to bring him into conflict with substantial numbers of the soldiers under his command."

Obama's Words After Bush's Final SOTU Address

HotAir "Obama: "Tonight for the 7th long year, the American people heard a State of the Union that didn't reflect the America we see and didn't address the challenges we face...Tonight's State of the Union was full of the same empty rhetoric the American people have come to expect from this President...Tonight was President Bush's final State of the Union and I don't think that history will judge him kindly" "

Did Obama's SOTU Pass the Women's Intuition Test?

Janice Shaw Crouse, AT "The President promised the moon, but said nothing for which he could be held accountable. He did a brilliant job of giving the impression that he was addressing issues, but in case after case one could only wonder about the particulars. Most women listen carefully when a man dishes out flowery promises. Most have learned from bitter experience not to fall for vague promises; instead they look for the particulars and most importantly, they look at a man's actions."

AP’s ten whoppers from the SOTU speech

HotAir "Obama repeatedly insisted that he inherited massive budgetary problems from George Bush, but the Con Law professor may want to retake his high-school civics class. Congress passes budgets, not the President, and the last three budgets came from Democrats. "

Taliban Reintegration

Max Boot "It’s a good idea to create a “reintegration” program that will allow fighters to leave the Taliban with some prospect of employment, education, housing, and other essentials. That’s what the government of Afghanistan, in cooperation with the U.S., Britain, and other allies, is announcing today in London. Just don’t expect a lot of Taliban defectors to make use of the program until security conditions change on the ground."

US Communists Admit Obama Win Was a Turning Point in Our History

Gateway Pundit "The Communist Party USA is holding their national convention this May in New York City. The organization admits in their announcement that Barack Obama’s election win was a turning point for the country. They also admit that their goal is to continue to build a “broad progressive labor-led democratic movement” able to defeat Republican obstructionism." Progressive labor-led? Hmmm. Sounds familiar.
