Bill Clinton and Timothy McVeigh

Blackfive "Bill Clinton has been back at the game of trying to tie patriotic dissent with violent extremism. As Byron York points out this is a sleazy stunt he has pulled before."  More here: Clinton Running the Old Playbook  and here: Clinton Continues To Lie About Limbaugh

Conventional Wisdom About Iraq Proves Wrong

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON "Meanwhile, Iraq's democracy has for some time now proven itself independent from the U.S. — and that old anti-war accusations that we entered the war to control Iraqi oil were false. Last June, the representative Iraqi government held its first oil auction — featuring transparent negotiations in which no American oil company was awarded an oil concession."

ABC’s Republican Character Under Siege from ‘Conservative Purity Police’ and ‘Ultra-Conservative Yahoos’

Newsbusters   " “It’s just the conservative purity police trying to purge the party of lily-livered Republican moderates.” Kitty complains to her sister, “Sarah Walker,” played by Rachel Griffiths: “I am fighting for my political life with a bunch of ultra-conservative yahoos who want my head because you decided to fall in love with a guy who has immigration issues.” "  Emphasis added.

Allee Bautsch’s Mother Speaks Out – Says Daughter Was Attacked by Leftist Political Protesters

Gateway Pundit   "It’s no coincidence that the only major conservative media outlet to have accurately covered the story belongs to Andrew Breitbart, because he actually has some guts. The rest of the conservative media still seem to be afraid that the MSM is going to say something bad about them. " Jim Hoft

Taking it ALL over: Next up, Control of Wall Street

Atlas Shrugs "He is taking it all over. It doesn't matter how destructive, how chaotic his plan is -- the objective is .... seize control and then move on and seize control of the next sector. No time spent looking at the problems he has created or the terrible reverbs of what he has wrought."

How Could We Be So Stupid? Let Us Count the Ways

Victor Davis Hanson "I present seven alternative reasons — some overlapping — why the present government is hell-bent on doubling the national debt in eight years. Either one, or all, or some, or none, of the below explain Obama’s peculiar frenzied spending."

Gates: Obama’s Iran Policy Is a Flop

Commentary  "There is no greater national-security challenge than the threat of a nuclear-armed, revolutionary Islamic state. And the president is failing to address it, as his defense secretary warns. The American people and history will judge Obama accordingly." Jennifer Rubin

Goldman's Dirty Pool

The Daily Beast "SEC claims that Goldman sold a complex type of mortgage bond, known as a collateralized debt obligation, to investors without alerting them that hedge-fund manager John Paulson had selected the same bonds as likely to default.
Paulson made money because he was actually shorting the bonds (a trade that becomes profitable when prices decline), as Goldman was selling the bonds to investors, suggesting they buy them because the housing market would continue to boom." They were jerks, so now watch the demagogues in Washington attack the entire investment industry.

Mr. Obama’s Nowhere Discussions; Obama needs to stop talking and start making hard policy decisions.

Victor Davis Hanson  "The public wanted a racially transcendent figure and got instead a Chicago ward boss. The problem now for Mr. Obama — reflected in growing popular discontent — is that on matters of debt, taxes, energy, jobs, and race, he apparently has very little new to offer. He just serves up in new wording the them/us divides of the past."

Berkeley's Judge; A liberal nominee of illiberal temperament.

WSJ "... but the real test of a judge is to decide cases based on the law, not on political ideology or human sympathies. Professor Liu sounds like a man with a political legal agenda."
