"Dronism" By Victor Davis Hanson

Pajamas Media "...the underclass seems to be growing. I don’t expect to see much cash at mega-supermarkets in my area. Food stamps — and yet expensive food — are the norm. The school systems of California’s major cities are broken; the wealthy praise them and flee, and the poor complain about their inadequacy, but insist on the sort of identity “pride” politics curriculum and staffing that ensure the inadequacy. Don’t mention parental responsibility; that’s either Neanderthal or racist. "...

Obama Now Selling Judgeships for Health Care Votes?

Weekly Standard "Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit." John McCormack

The Friends of Barack Hussein Obama: the Castro Connection

BigJournalism "Eusebio Peñalver refused to collude in this lie. He spit in the face of the liars. He scorned any “re-education” by his jailers. He knew it was they who desperately needed it. He refused to wear the uniform of a common criminal. He knew it was they who should don it. Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright all toast his torturer. But through almost 30 years of those tortures Eusebio Peñalver stood tall, proud and defiant." Humberto Fontova

The Basement Boys; The making of modern immaturity.

George Will "Mike Stivic, a.k.a. Meathead, the liberal graduate student in All in the Family, reflected society's belief in the cultural superiority of youth, but he was a leading indicator of something else: He lived in his father-in-law Archie Bunker's home. What are today's "basement boys" doing down there? Perhaps watching Friends and Seinfeld reruns about a culture of extended youth utterly unlike the world of young adults in previous generations."

Green Zone- Same as it ever was

Blackfive "I can’t believe what I just saw, so I’ll think about it some more before I go into detail. But if I were the kind of excitable guy who believes in boycotts, I’d say “Boycott NBC-Universal” for its appalling new anti-American flick “Green Zone,” an absurdly awful would-be actioner that stars Matt Damon as a US warrant officer in 2003 Baghdad."

THEY'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH ...

Boortz "The president of the United States perpetuates this notion that Washington exists in order to solve your problems. In this case, the "problem" is that our healthcare delivery system has been screwed up by government intervention and regulation ... and the solution is ... more government! Maybe Obama and the Democrats should take some advice from Ronald Reagan, "Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them." " Emphasis added.

MSNBC Crops President Bush Out of Newsweek Cover

Newsbusters "While Newsweek cropped the picture to include half of Bush's body and face, MSNBC further cropped the image to leave only the arm of the former president visible..." Malzberg Rips Scarborough For Bush-Newsweek Crop Out: "They know no shame. They know no shame. Good thing Obama keeps having those hosts over to the White House for little private meetings. Who knows what they'll crop out next? Maybe the American flag. "

Loose cannon replacing Rangel

Thomas Lifson, AT "Fortney "Pete" Stark, the San Francisco-area Congressman who is to replace the corrupt Charlie Rangel as Chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, is a nasty piece of work. The charitable way to put his verbal outbursts is "gaffe-prone." He shows signs of anti-Semitism and racial insensitivity.

Subprime Mortgage Crisis Hits Brothels

Ann Coulter "It looks like Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes is on track to win another endorsement from ACORN! This week, Hynes announced that "no criminality has been found" after his investigation of the videotapes made by investigative journalists James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, which show ACORN employees counseling the pair on getting a mortgage for a house of prostitution."

DEMINT: White House land grab

Washington Times "A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers." Via Drudge.

Brain-Dead in Berkeley

Robin of Berkeley "Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, but Berkeley is the looniest. Imagine commingling with people who act like Keith Olbermann on steroids. Not a day goes by where I don't scratch my head in utter disbelief -- not just because of the insanity, but because two years ago, I was one of them! So here is an actual week in the life. I hope that you enjoy this snapshot of living at ground zero, the birthplace of such peace-loving groups as the Black Panthers." Via American Thinker.
