Failure-in-Chief
Newt Gingrich "The controversies over the Arizona immigration plan and the Obama Administration’s response to the oil spill in the Gulf may not seem related, but they have a key common characteristic: both originate in the failure of Washington. In both cases, President Obama faces a real danger of a political backlash from which he will be unable to recover. " Then this: “Countries and Terror Groups That Were Absolutely Terrified of Bush Now Think Obama Might Apologize to Them”… GOP Rep. Peter King
TEA PARTY PERCEPTIONS
Neal Boortz "Have you noticed how the ObamaMedia has managed to pull this one off? They have managed to marginalize the Tea Party movement and put it on the defensive .. Tea Partiers are having to spend far too much time trying to explain to bed-wetting liberals that they are not racists. In a sense, the Tea Partiers are guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the ObamaMedia - it will be assumed that if you are a Tea Partier, you are a racist. That is, unless you can prove otherwise... and to a liberal there is no way for anyone with a conservative point of view to prove they are not racist." And this: JUST IGNORE THE "R" WORD . So much for the post-racial president.
Was the Times Square bomb a test?
Neil Braithwaite "But I guess the most important question has already been answered - for American citizens and Islamic terrorists: Can a car bomb be successfully planted at will in a large, densely populated city in the United States in 2010?" Neil Braithwaite writes political commentary and satire and is a regular contributor to PoliticalDerby.com.
Reviving the White House Press Corpse
American Thinker "When Lester Kinsolving, WorldNetDaily reporter and member of the White House press corps, recently asked Robert Gibbs why President Obama has not held an open press conference since July of 2009, Gibbs launched into this lengthy, mocking tirade . It would have been no shocker if Gibb's blast had concluded with the admission that Obama was giving the press corps an extended time-out. "
Rep. Andre Carson: Tea Party Protesters Are ‘One of the Largest Threats to our Internal Security’by Larry O'Connor
Big Government "I could have sworn the guy who just tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square was Muslim…"
Lost 1995 Obama interview surfaces: the young 'civil rights lawyer' predicted the economic fall of America and--wait for it--decried racial politics
Doug Ross Journal "Economics is not a zero-sum game. America has, within the last two centuries, raised the world out of the miasma of colonial technology into an era powered by computers, medical miracles and instantaneous global communications. America represents the most magnificent society ever seen on the planet, not because it's stealing food out of the mouths of the poor, but because it provides the most opportunities. And that structure is facilitated by the Constitution, despite its recent perversions and breaches by the Statist Democrats."
Is There a Pattern Here or What?
Victor Davis Hanson "One, we are doing our darnedest to playact that radical Muslims who are trying to kill us are not trying to kill us; and two, we are not seeing a lot of peaceful blowback from the virtual closing of Guantanamo, the virtual trial of KSM, the reach out in the Al Arabiya interview, the "reset" rhetoric, the Cairo speech, and the apology tour — 2009 saw the most terrorism attempts since 2001."
Students sent home for wearing American flag on Cinco de Mayo
Thomas Lifson in AT: "This is the sort of squelching of patriotism that might be implemented by a conquering power imposing its will on colonial subjects. It is entirely consistent with the agenda of "reconquista" - where Mexico takes back the Southwest United States through massive immigration, ultimately severing it from the United States." Geography lesson: Morgan Hill is in Pelosi Country.
A Real Leak of CIA Identities
Clarice Feldman in AT: "Covertly taken photos of CIA interrogators that were shown by defense attorneys to al Qaeda inmates at the Guantanamo Bay prison represent a more serious security breach than the 2003 outing of CIA officer Valerie Plame, the agency's former general counsel said Wednesday."
Getting the Times Square Bomber’s Confession
Andrew C. McCarthy "The Obama administration strongly prefers the law-enforcement model, and that is how the Times Square case is being handled. Though I believe the military process should be our default choice during wartime, the administration should be cut some slack in this case. There are things to criticize, and the case bears close watching. Knee-jerk derision, though, would be a mistake." This is hard when my default reaction tends toward knee-jerk.

“No, we’re fearless and edgy. Really.” "FT Editor Joseph Bottum makes two predictions: 1) It will be far more blasphemous about Christianity than the Danish cartoons were about Islam. 2) There won’t be any riots over it."
