Is Obama trying to Lead or to Rule?

May 19, 2009 By

So, to no one’s surprise, it looks like the US Government is going into the car business, something our founders certainly never intended. I keep watching Obama and wondering if he is trying to lead America to further greatness, or to simply bring her to heel? There is an absolute disconnect between what Obama says, [...]

NRO’s Kathryn Jean Lopez twitters: Nancy Pelosi is not on the front page of the New York Times today. That’s shocking even for the Times. Yes…that is pretty surprising, given what her very role as Speaker of the House seems in jeopardy; she may yet be felled by ironic twist of her own knife. With [...]

I like this vid & link-around

May 14, 2009 By

Like this video which I found at Deacon Greg’s Place, which I hope you peek in on every day! Do you remember when you were a kid, and you’d want to bring a book with you to supper, and your mother would yell at you to get the book off the table and then give [...]

Prejean; cautionary tale for Christians – UPDATED

May 12, 2009 By

Good for her. In America, we should not be watching a person endure character assassination and the possible loss of livelihood because she has committed the sin of daring to hold a “politically incorrect” position. Carrie Prejean was asked a question and she answered it. In America, once upon a time, the people who referred [...]

Answering John Bolton

May 6, 2009 By

John Bolton wonders why President Obama is allowing a foreign government to prosecute Bush officials? Aw, that’s an easy one. It’s so he can vote “present,” and keep his hands nice and clean. Kind of like the extraordinary renditions begun under Bill Clinton, right? We’re remaking America. Glenn Reynolds answers another easy question.

Why "the recession is over."

May 6, 2009 By

Yesterday, President Obama and Joe Biden went out and grabbed a burger in a bit of “we’re just normal guys” political theater, a replay of what we saw back in 2004, when John Kerry and John Edwards went to Wendy’s. A breathless press told us this was part and parcel of Ben Bernanke’s statement that, [...]
