Yes, Obama tried to block troop withdrawal UPDATED

September 15, 2008 By

That question seems anti-intuitive, doesn’t it? Barack Obama has been consistent about nothing, if not his call to “bring the troops home,” for the past two years. And yet, this piece by Amir Taheri accuses Obama of trying – during his “Now I Have Foreign Policy Experience World Tour” in July – to get in [...]

When conventions were fun…

August 28, 2008 By

Supped out last night with some friends and one of them, a political maven, greeted me with, “have you been watching the convention? It’s such garbage! Remember when it used to be fun? You’d have gavel-to-gavel coverage, you’d get to watch the platform fight – the roll call – it was great fun and you [...]

Nancy Pelosi Orwell: The lady likes control

July 11, 2008 By

What kind of “liberals” are these? What sort of “transparency” is this? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Lady Liberty herself, who has in the past made noises about regulating free speech on the internet, has decided that her colleagues in congress have too much free speech, and they should be reined in. And California’s [...]

Puffery vs Substance and the US Press

July 6, 2008 By

So, in anticipation of Obama’s All I Have Behind Me Is A Great Speech and a Loving Press/No Substance Tour of Europe, which will supply his campaign with outstanding photo-ops against historic backdrops (to dispel the sad fact that he’s done nothing of real import to earn the accolades), and which will add an illusion [...]

Blogger Free Speech, Humanae Vitae – UPDATE

June 30, 2008 By

:::UPDATE::: A blogger who is rebuilding finds his Obama-critical posts uncached and unrecoverable. Hmmmmm…:::END UPDATE::: So, these Obama True-Believers are an insecure bunch. It seems to me if you are confident in your candidate, you don’t need to run around doing all you can to silence opposition by shutting down blogs that dare to dislike [...]

WaPo: Bush "substantiated by intelligence" – UPDATED

June 9, 2008 By

What a long, strange trip it’s been, and here, some years later, we finally get someone in the press to tell it straight: Bush did not lie. There’s no question that the administration, and particularly Vice President Cheney, spoke with too much certainty at times and failed to anticipate or prepare the American people for [...]

Chesterton & Lewis warn against tyranny

June 3, 2008 By

G. K. Chesterton’s helpful assessment of fundamental liberty. By his measure, our liberty is indeed threatened. “The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if [...]
