John McCain, The Opportunist
Monday, March 31st, 2008
Democratic National Committee Chairman, Howard Dean, recently called John McCain a “blatant opportunist,” in response to McCain’s new ad. The ad shows a young McCain in Vietnamese captivity, calmly giving his name, rank and serial number to a (presumably North Vietnamese) questioner. (The voiceover, by the way is Powers Booth). I realize that there... »

Obama: We are the opportunists we have been waiting for
Thursday, March 20th, 2008
Much has been said about Obama’s supposedly historic speech, which, in my mind, converted a non-racial, “I hate America” issue into a racial one. He played the race card eloquently, but it’s still the race card. It’s called that, by the way, because there is no appropriate response from the other side. What can... »

Obama To Defend Another Religious Speaker
Thursday, March 20th, 2008
Barack Obama, fresh on the heels of his well-received speech on race, has spoken out again today in Pennsylvania. Mr. Obama, in prepared remarks, addressed another religious leader, whose Anti-Catholic and Anti-American rhetoric has shocked many. “I vigorously disagree with the Muslim Cleric, Osama bin Laden, and his remarks involving Western democracy and theology,”... »

The Importance Of Guns
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Liberals often make fun of “conservative gun nuts,” making reference to tin-foil hat conspiracy theories and half-baked theories linking Al Qaeda with rural militias. I have to admit, I don’t own a gun, nor do I belong to a militia. I signed up to be a cadet in the civil air patrol once, but... »

Why Obama Should Avoid A Do-Over In Florida And Michigan
Monday, March 17th, 2008
Don’t you just love election years? They’re full of pandering to special interests, saying one thing and meaning another and, especially if a Republican is in office, negative talk about the economy. Don’t get me wrong, things are getting bad out there, but the press almost seems happy about it. It’s as if the... »

Eliot Phone Ho!
Monday, March 17th, 2008
I’ve been off for a week, in the words of a liberal friend, “gleefully” enjoying the Spitzer ordeal. I try not to take joy from the misery of others, but in Eliot Spitzer’s case I will make an exception. Mr. Sptizer built his career on overzealous prosecution. he used tactics more fit for totalitarian... »

The Fear Card
Friday, March 7th, 2008
There’s an interesting argument developing on the Left. Having Hillary’s Attack Machine up against the Audacity of Hope Machine has been very enlightening for some Democrats. First, Hillary supporters are now seeing first hand what it’s like to be called racist, simply because you don’t vote for a candidate who is Black. Of course,... »

Michelle Obama: We Are The Prejudice We Seek
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
In a special Profiles in DisCourage puff piece, the New Yorker profiles Barack Obama’s “outspoken” wife, Michelle. (Look here for the Newsbusters summary if you don’t have the intestinal fortitude for the full dose.) There are many frustrating and hypocritical things about this piece, not least among them is crying poverty when you make... »

President Obama Regrets “Boneheaded” Move of Invading Pakistan, Causing Global Nuclear War

Gloria Steinem and the Growing Irrelevance of Identity Politics
Monday, March 3rd, 2008
Gloria Steinem continues, in futility, to try to make herself relevant. Over the weekend, she made two comments that illustrate the intellectual dishonesty and moral equivalence that permeates the Left. The Victim Card First, not because it is more important, but rather more easily dealt with, is her assertion that women are and have... »
