It was wicked when assorted neoconservative organs and tools presented antiwar activists such as Cindy Sheehan as something other than what they were. And it is still execrable now that the left-liberal news filters are tarring anti-Obamacare town hall protesters as something other than what they are. Sheehan’s cause was just. She spoke stirringly against Bush’s crimes in Iraq. Yet again … [Read More]

If the U.S. wasn’t already insolvent, I’d say that Obama was bankrupting the country, and sending the health care we have to hell in a handcart, for the ostensible benefit of less than ten percent of the population. But the U.S. is already in the red, courtesy of the current president and his predecessor. According to the Census Bureau report, “Income, … [Read More]

How CanadaCare Almost Killed My Kid! “Code Blue Intensive Care Unit,” “Code Blue Intensive Care Unit”: When the Code-Blue alarm sounded over the hospital’s loudspeaker system, my husband and I knew it sounded for our daughter. It was 11:00 at night. The hallways of the British Columbia hospital were dark. Only one emergency operating theater was in use. She was in … [Read More]

Although Obama has appointed more czars in six months than Russia’s Romanov Dynasty had occasion to anoint over three centuries, he is still missing a Vegetable Czar. If he acts quickly, Barack might be able to recruit a cheap VC with experience from The European Onion (formerly the EU). The EO has been regulating fresh produce for quite some time. Duly, … [Read More]

Vice President Joe Biden has been slightly more candid than his boss, confessing of late that he “and everyone else misread the economy.” For his “everyone else” refrain, or plain fib, Joe can be forgiven. Drawing comfort from “the warm smell of the herd” he surrounds himself with is slightly better than Obama’s way out. Beloved of the herd, Obama opts … [Read More]

The Declaration of Independence—whose proclamation, on July 4, 1776, we celebrate today—has been mocked out of meaning. To be fair to the liberal establishment, ordinary Americans are not entirely blameless. For most, Independence Day means firecrackers and cookouts. The Declaration doesn’t feature. In fact, contemporary Americans are less likely to read it now that it is easily available on the Internet, … [Read More]

Obama is a heavy-duty planner; a command and control kind of guy. He aims to replace cumbersome, heavily regulated medicine—the kind Americans have now—with Kafkaesque, centrally controlled care. He’ll start small—a modest healthcare expansion totaling $2 trillion—and will proceed from there. During the recent ABC News Health Care infomercial, put on for the Big Man’s benefit, the president smirked: “If private … [Read More]

What a relief. The demonstrations in the Islamic Republic, pursuant to the disputed election, have failed to cue the staple presidential speech we’d become accustomed to from George Bush. Barack Obama spared the country a lecture about the all-American duty to crusade for democracy and against tyrants and terrorists. Instead, the president confined himself to diplomatic, obligatory statements: He was “deeply … [Read More]

What are the limited lessons learned so far from “the shooting of a security guard at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum by an elderly anti-Semitic pamphleteer who published tirades against Jews?  Remember when the Department of Homeland Security, headed by Janet Napolitano, issued, back in April, a nine-page document titled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in … [Read More]

About certain moral (and legal) matters, patriotic, freedom-loving Americans agree instinctively. For example: When brave, border patrolmen Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean shot an illegal alien drug dealer in the derriere, they were defending their state, country and countrymen. For hastening the descent into hell of two career criminals, who had broken into the country before breaking and entering at the … [Read More]
