A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Revolution

Robin of Berkeley "While that experience was seismic, it doesn't compare to my sea change upon Obama's ascension. One minute I was a leftist, despising this country and all it stood for. And then, abruptly and astonishingly, I became a conservative. I had been enamored of progressivism, socialism, all the other "isms." But when Obama came on the scene and liberals starting acting like maniacs, I viewed the underbelly of the Left. And that was it. In the blink of an eye, I saw that liberalism had rotted away. In time, I discovered that progressivism was a bogus idea to begin with."

The Ongoing Melodrama of Victims and Oppressors

Victor Davis Hanson "In all these cases, Obama commendably wants to help the less fortunate. But he seems to care far less for those who act responsibly — except to demonize them if they question whether it is either fair or even sometimes wise to subsidize those who at times don't."

A disgraceful move, but who’s really behind it?

John Locke Foundation "Organizers of a tea party event planned for Thursday at the state Capitol are unhappy they can’t carry flags on poles because of state officials’ fears that they could be used as weapons.
The prohibition applies to the American flag, North Carolina’s state flag or anything else carried on a pole more than a foot in length." Right Angles Blog.

SOS – RED ALERT – New York Times About to Put American Troops in Deadly Peril

Big Government  "Through its use of the New York Times, the Central Intelligence Agency has tried to embarrass the Defense Department into shutting down what, by all accounts, has been an amazingly successful program which has dramatically saved American and Coalition lives and continues to do so on a daily basis."  Brad Thor

Gray Lady Foreign Policy PR Effort Falls Short

Commentary  "The Obama foreign policy is a hodge-podge of bad ideas (multilateralism, American un-exceptionalism, disdain for human rights) incompetently executed. It is, moreover, one that refuses to confront in a serious way the greatest challenge we face — a nuclear-armed revolutionary Islamic state that is replacing the U.S.-Israel alliance as the dominant player in the Middle East."  Jennifer Rubin

Arizona doctor goes Galt*

Hot Air " “If you voted for Obamacare, be aware these doors will close before it goes into effect.” The note is signed Joseph M. Scherzer M.D. and includes the following addendum: “****Unless Congress or the Courts repeal the BILL.” "   * "goes Galt": The depiction portrays a society based on oppressive bureaucratic functionaries and a culture that embraces the stifling mediocrity and egalitarianism of socialistic idealism. In this popular mass ideology, the industrialists of America were a metaphorical Atlas of Greek mythology, holding up the world, whom Galt convinces to "shrug," by refusing to lend their productive genius to the regime any longer."

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."
