Obama has now run for cover, and resigned from the radical “church” Trinity United Church of Christ. Trinity is, and apparently has been for at least the full time of Obama’s devotion to it, a church in which the gospel of socialism and race hatred has been preached.
A church whose members, to judge [...]

Watching a brief segment of Fox and Friends this morning, the bottle blonde eye candy member of the team couldn’t resist saying the following with regards to the Democrats’ tussle over Florida and Michigan’s votes:
The captain shouldn’t be punished for something the crew did.
The captain being Hillary Clinton; the crew being those Democrats in Florida [...]
Good News from one Marine

In the military, you are trained first and foremost to think for yourself. Contrary to much public opinion, especially on the Left, Marines are taught to adapt to circumstances and to improvise. And, most certainly not as an afterthought, to obey all lawful orders without hesitation or reservation.
Now we have a [...]
Jesus the libertarian?
Posted in Christianity, conservatives on May 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Jesus has been enlisted, yet again, into the service of a political philosophy. This time, according to former Bushie Michael Gerson, it’s Senator Tom Coburn’s alleged claim that Jesus was a libertarian.
Gerson’s piece is a rambling paean to the virtues of “compassionate conservatism,” one of George Bush’s signatures from the beginning. [...]

Via the Wall Street Journal’s Political Diary, this from Hillary Clinton’s letter to all of the Democratic Party’s superdelegates:
“I am ahead in states that have been critical to victory in the past two elections. From Ohio, to Pennsylvania, to West Virginia and beyond, the results of recent primaries in battleground states show that I have [...]

That’s Barack Hussein Obama. Ever trying complacer sus amigos nuevos. That’s “pander,” and not that adorable Chinese bear. In the hispanic-voter-rich West, he has made an interesting statement about knowing a language besides English (via WTOP):
“Understand that my starting principle is, everybody should be bilingual or everybody should be trilingual,” [...]

This time, a medium-sized gaffe. Unlike, say, the one he made to get some sympathy from Jews (his uncle liberating Auschwitz), this one would likely have resonated with the masses of clueless academics and latte-swillers who are among his core constituents.

Veterans as victims: that’s the Donk way. Especially St. Barack of Obama, likely Donk nominee, anti-war, messiah-in-the-West Wing. Obama has not served in uniform, but that’s not a fatal flaw for a presidential candidate.
What is, or should be such a flaw is that this lefty just does not get it. [...]

Again from Jay Nordlinger, this from Paul Johnson:
Paul went so far as to say, “America is just getting started!” And he added this: You can start worrying about America when people from all over the world cease wanting to go there.
Just so. People vote with their feet. You don’t see folks sneaking into [...]

Mark Steyn, one of my favorite pundits with a Cockney accent, has written America Alone. The book is a wake-up call, which basically takes the West to task for unilateral disarmament in the face of a global Islamic struggle for world domination.
History is the best proof of that last statement: Islam has been [...]

That’s the Canadian Human Rights Commission, at the forefront of a nervous nation that can stand up to anything except Islam in its midst. Seems that the so-called Human Rights Commission has brought up Mark Steyn and Maclean’s magazine on charges of “flagrant Islamophobia.”

In a new twist on the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, Mrs. Clinton now brings us a Vaster XY Conspiracy. It’s her sex, you see. It’s the unbound misogyny on the part of her fellow (can I write “fellow?”) Democrats that’s done her in.
In her new role as Whiner in Chief, Hillary complains that [...]
Bad pastor, bad pastor! Go to your room!

Another bad pastor: Rev. Rod Parsley, disavowed by John McCain. No, McCain was not in Rev. Parsley’s church; no, Parsley was not McCain’s inspiration, didn’t marry him, didn’t baptize his children. But the bad pastor did make the mistake of endorsing McCain.
Democrats and their enablers in the mainstream media will latch on to [...]

Informed that OPEC is a…is a…having trouble writing this heinous word: a cartel. Who knew? OPEC has been in business almost 47 years, having been founded September 1960, in Baghdad.
Speaking of weapons of mass distraction, surely OPEC has caused more economic damage to us than anything Saddam ever did. But then, [...]

And those that can’t, talk about doing. Old adage; common sense department. In high school, we used to recite the following litany:
Those who can do things, do them.
Those who can’t do things, teach.
Those who can’t teach, administer.
Those who can’t administer become guidance counselors.
Yep. Unfair to teachers, who I’ve learned work very, very [...]

President Bush gave a politically correct slap to the face of the Arab world. The event took place at the World Economic Forum held in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. The context had something or other to do with the world’s greatest snark hunt: the Israeli-Palestinian “peace process.”

There is something more than a little discomfiting about this image: the leader of the free world holding hands with an unelected absolute monarch of a “nation” that is directly responsible for much of the Islamic terror around the world.

Got to give Obama high marks for trying. He’s wearing an American flag lapel pin. You know, the pin he earlier said wasn’t needed to show his patriotism, and which he had not worn during the primaries until now.
Now, because of the controversy surrounding his long-time association with the anti-American, anti-white pastor Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s [...]

Gerald Seib and John Harwood of the Wall Street Journal wrote a front-page affront to logic. The thesis is that John McCain and Barack Obama “got ahead largely by arguing they have unique abilities to bring people together in Washington.” They also added this:

Symbolic racism

Ah, symbolism. The PoMo Prof just can’t let go of those symbols; must deconstruct and unpack them. Reading an otherwise reasonable and well-reasoned article in the WaPo by a professor from Emory University, I was abruptly brought up short by this sentence:
Symbolic racism means believing that African American poverty and other problems are [...]

This Times (U.K.) article illustrates a continuing problem of Obama and those he turns to for counsel. This time it’s a pro-Hamas worthy, one Robert Malley, who’s been advising Obama’s campaign on the Middle East.
This makes some sense. After all, Hamas is pro-Obama, it makes sense there’s some kind of quid pro quo.
