Let’s Not Let a Celebration of Heritage Get Hijacked

Frank Cagle  "Let me say this again, so you don’t misunderstand. A celebration of our heritage and an appreciation for our history is a good thing. What we have to avoid is any attempt to gloss over or neglect to mention the disgusting enslavement of a whole people as the cause of the war. We also have to avoid allowing yahoos to use this event as cheap political theater."

Democrat’s Coal Miner Memorial Turns into Obama Rally (Video)

Gateway Pundit "They Just Can’t Help It–  This memorial today was supposed to be for the local miners who were killed in the worst mining accident in 25 years. Instead the democrats turned it into an Obama rally. The attendees had to wait in line for hours for tickets to the memorial/rally. “We love you Obama!”"

The violent left is at it again.

A War in the Near Future

By Faridoddin Haddad Adel  in Farda News, Iran  "Obama is prone to rushing to war, due to his character. He has always retreated on the nuclear issue and may go to war with Iran to to make up for his failures and to cover up America’s internal problems. We should not forget that the first American president to authorize the use of a nuclear bomb was a president with very little political experience, who was, surprisingly, elected."

Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But…

Big Government "But, again, these liberals think they are doing a good thing. The problem is that they are utterly wrong. If this country treads the left-wing path, the U.S. will not emerge a winner. It will be laid low just like the left wants, but it will not rise again. The left’s prescriptions will lead to our becoming a third world nation. And yet there is no doubt they really imagine they are doing good."   Warner Todd Huston

Why ACORN is Unworthy of Our Hard-Earned Tax Dollars and Chief Organizer’s Toilet Talk Proves Why

Big Government "A federal court of appeals overturned Clinton-appointee Judge Nina Gershon’s ruling that claimed the government had the right and responsibility to fund ACORN. Thank God, in light of the latest antics from ACORN Chief Organizer Berth Lewis. While applauding the Young Democratic Socialists, she said, “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me.” "  Kyle Olson

An Age of Untruth

Victor Davis Hanson "Do we recall any American shock when the Guardian published Charles Brooker’s lament — “John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. — where are you now that we need you?” And I don’t recall anyone felt that language was getting too heated when Howard Dean, head of the Democratic Party, fumed, “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for.” "...

Obama Tries to Eradicate Radical Islam

Raymond Ibrahim "The situation is already dire. There is already a lamentable lack [7] of study concerning Muslim war doctrine in the curriculum of American military studies, including in the Pentagon [8] and U.S. Army War College [9]. Obama’s more aggressive censorship program will only exacerbate matters: another recently released strategic document, the QDR [10], nary mentions anything remotely related to Islam — even as it stresses climate change [11], which it sees as an “accelerant of instability and conflict” around the world." The numbers in brackets refer to corroborating sources.

Secret papers reveal Senate ‘talks’ between Obama and Blagojevich

Sweetness and Light "The filing indicates that the union official has testified to federal investigators about a phone call he had with Obama on the day before he won the presidency in which he indicated that Jarrett "would be a good senator for the people of Illinois and would be a candidate who could win re-election." …

Funny how no one investigating Mr. Blagojevich and no one in our watchdog media discovered this."

The actual Arizona immigration bill

 Hot Air  "The more I think about it, the more I think this law is little more than a bargaining chip Arizona’s using to make the feds get serious about enforcement. They surely realize they’ll have no end of headaches from passing this thing, but no matter how much it backfires, they’ll still get to point at Washington and say, “You drove us to these desperate measures!” — which will put that much more pressure on Congress to seal the border when it finally takes up a new amnesty bill."

Barack Obama and the arrogance of arrogance

Powerline "Obama, meanwhile, seems too arrogant to recognize the blowback his arrogant, and indeed hostile, approach to our traditional allies is bound to produce. This is not surprising. Obama's policies towards our traditional allies are the product of attitude, not of calculation. He may well be temperamentally unable to calculate their costs."
