Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
“Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!” — Shakespeare, Othello Those of us paying attention have long known that Obama lies . . . and lies . . . and
Continue readingMore than five years ago, when Barack Obama threw his hat into the political ring, I realized that he was a malignant narcissist who lied compulsively. For Obama, truth was then and is now defined by the needs of the moment. If it will benefit him at that moment to
Continue readingHere’s the AP, an unofficial arm of the Democrat party, telling us that Obama had to simplify his Obamacare promises to the point of fraud because the American people are too unintelligent and uninformed to deal with the Act’s complexities: President Barack Obama’s early efforts to boil down an intricate

Continue readingOne of the tropes at which I’ve hammered relentlessly since Obama first threw his hat into the presidential ring is that he’s completely and compulsively dishonest. Here’s just a partial list of my posts making that point: Someones pants are in flames (April 2008) Lies and lying liars (May 2008)
Continue readingI was trolling the internet and I saw this headline for an article by Byron York (click on the image to go to the article): Good question, I thought to myself, saving the article in a new tab as one I intended to read later. Then, still in trolling mood,
Continue readingIn the lead-up to the 2008 election, blogging was exciting because there was hope. Not the synthetic hope Obama was selling, but the real hope that both Hillary and Obama would lose, and that John McCain would be a half decent president. In the first two years of Obama’s administration,
Continue readingYou know that old joke, the one that goes “How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.” That’s Obama. I think Obama’s skilled lying arises from the fact that he is a borderline personality, whether malignant narcissist or sociopath. These specific border personalities lie better

No one

Continue readingWilliam Galston, who writes for The New Republic (i.e., he’s a Leftist), is not sanguine about Obama’s standing in the presidential race. Without getting into the why of Obama’s decision to run a staggeringly vindictive campaign (which would force him to acknowledge that Americans dislike both what Obama has and
Continue readingI had some brilliant teachers when I was at law school in Texas. Elizabeth Warren was not among their number. While she knew her stuff, her disjointed, elliptical communication style made her one of the poorer teachers I’ve had during my 20 years as student (from kindergarten through my J.D.).

Before Griswold, notion of a right to privacy had only existed as a common law doctrine, applicable to ones fellow citizens. This was the first time,
