A Postmodern Presidency

Victor Davis Hanson "The modern age saw life and death civil rights marches and the commemoration of resistance to venomous racial oppression; the postmodern civil rights marches are staged events at the DC tea party rally, as elites troll in search of a slur, or Prof. Gates’s offer to donate his “cuffs” to the Smithsonian as proof of his racial “ordeal.” "

Pete Seeger Stops NY Nuclear Power Plant

Sweetness&Light "The decision is a blow to the plant’s owner, the Entergy Corporation, which now faces the prospect of having to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build stadium-size cooling towers, or risk that Indian Point’s two operating reactors — which supply 30 percent of the electricity used by New York City and Westchester County — could be forced to shut down."

Duty, Honor, Country: Not for Obama

Human Events "Thus, the Marquis de Lafayette, centuries ago, demonstrated more love for and devotion to, the United States of America than Barack Hussein Obama has done in over a year as our tragically elected 44th President." Susan Dale

Obama’s Unacceptable Iran Policy

Commentary "We stand at a critical juncture — poised to see if Israel — a tiny, beleaguered nation — will spare the world from a nuclear-armed Iran. We reach this point because of a disgraceful lack of vision and will from the U.S. president, who has abdicated his role as leader of the West and protector of American security." Jennifer Rubin

Start-Ups, Not Bailouts

THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN " “Between 1980 and 2005, virtually all net new jobs created in the U.S. were created by firms that were 5 years old or less,” said Litan. “That is about 40 million jobs. That means the established firms created no new net jobs during that period.” "

HATE! HATE! HATE!

Neal Boortz "How many times in the last ten years have conservative politicians and speakers been shouted down on college campuses? Were the incidents reported? Yeah .. somewhat. Were they widely condemned by the same media that is promoting the "hate speech" line now? What? Are you freaking kidding me? Of course it wasn't. Were you around during the Vietnam War? Leftists would load apples with razor blades and drive nails into golf balls - sharpening them to a point - to throw at police officer. Condemnation? Yeah ... but not widespread. The perps were more often described as young people outraged with an unjust war. "

America Under Barack Obama

Rutherford.org "I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had. An example is ObamaCare, which is now embattled in the Senate. If that goes through the way Obama wants, we will have something very much like the British system. If the American people have their health care paid for by the government, depending on their age and their condition, they will be subject to a health commission just like in England which will decide if their lives are worth living much longer." Health commission? Wouldn't that be a death panel?

The Left Destroy Machine in High Gear: New York Times Declares War on America

Atlas Shrugs "The Times vilifies Americans today and romanticized female Muslim genocide bombers yesterday on the front page, lede story: "Lured into Russian Jihad, 17 year old Avenges Slain Husband." The husband was a bloodthirsty murdering jihadi. Do they discuss the religious motivation? No. Do they educate Americans on the Islamic text that demands, commands, prescribes jihad? No. They make it, "Jihad, a Love Story." "

Why MSNBC needs regime change

PowerlineBlog "Matthews is (or was when I tuned him out) part partisan hack and part over-the-top entertainer. But even by the low standards that apply to such buffoons, his dishonest effort at feigning disgust over the use of the word "regime" is itself disgusting."

Dressing Up Standards, Dumbing Down Schools

Big Government "Beware of politicians and expert educators bearing standards, the last seventy years or more of Progressive education should have taught us. But we are slow to learn."

Obami* Pushing Israel to Act Unilaterally?

Commentary Quoting Bill Kristol:"The only things that can stop the Iranian nuclear program are — would be the success of the green movement in Iran, which the Obama administration has done nothing to help and remains incredibly indifferent to and standoffish to on the one hand, or military action on the other, which the Obama administration seems uninterested in doing and I’m afraid is setting up a situation where Israel will feel it has to act." Jennifer Rubin *Obami: Servants of Obama

Obama Spares Us From Energy Independence; Ignorant MSM Cheers

Big Journalism "Rather than news coverage heralding how one area or another will be “spared “ from offshore drilling, I’d rather see coverage on how offshore drilling can spare us all from the problems caused by surrendering American energy independence."
