Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you’re a true believer, it’s very hard to admit that your idol has feet of clay. For some, it may be impossible. Andrew Sullivan currently falls into the latter category. He has written an almost pathetic post assuring his followers that Obama cleverly baited a trap for Putin and
Continue readingMark Steyn looks at what was going on in Obama’s brain‘ when he drew the “red line” and at the fall out from that moment: Charles Crawford, Britain’s former ambassador in Serbia and Poland, called last Monday “the worst day for U.S. and wider Western diplomacy since records began.” Obama
Continue readingSome people are gracious winners. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not one of those people. After humiliating President Obama before the world when he pulled Obama’s chestnuts out of the fire regarding Syria (a move, incidentally, that turned a leader of a third-world nuclear nation into a Middle Eastern power
Continue readingI am indebted to Jose for the perfect solution to Obama’s moral dilemma regarding dead children in Syria: Obama says he wants to protect Syrian children. He should just pretend they are fetuses. I liked that so much, I made a poster:
Continue readingOver the past several years, especially since Obama became president, 9/11 turned into a diffuse holiday during which a Leftist-dominated media and political class ruminated about the needs of Muslims. Patriotism was verboten. We were allowed to shed tears for those who died, but the media shut its collective door
Continue readingPeggy Noonan, who can be very good, talks about how Obama got us into this mess and the contortions in which he engage to save face. Peter Wehner talks about just how bad this mess really is, even with Putin having given Obama an out. A Politico article about the
Continue readingVery, very funny: I think Putin helped deflect the first shots in WWIII (for now). The only problem is that Obama sold America’s soul to Putin, Assad, and Iran. Other than that, it’s all good.
Continue readingIn case you hadn’t already seen them, I wanted to bring to your attention two excellent articles about Obama’s Syria implosion and the untenable position in which he’s placed America. The first is from my friend Thomas Lifson, writing at American Thinker: Why Obama Is Floundering. The second is from
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 readingYesterday, I asked if the military will follow Obama’s Syria orders. In both public comments and private emails, the answer to that question has been a unanimous “yes.” Our military is under civilian control and, if the American people elect an idiot, our military is still under civilian control. So
Continue readingYesterday, I put up an image that tied together the significant differences between Obama’s response to a direct attack on America and Americans in Libya, versus a mass civilian murder in a country that’s already killed more than 100,000 of its, and created millions of refugees. I think its worth
Continue readingOne of the more perfect posters I’ve seen regarding the intersection between Syria and Obama’s values (thanks to Danny Lemieux, who posted it on Facebook): I hope everyone is clear on the fact that this war talk about Syria does not reflect an Obama value. This is about his saving
Continue readingI opened Drudge Report this morning and saw two disturbing things: Tehran plans attack on U.S. embassy in Baghdad… and PUTIN: Russia Will Help Syria If USA Attacks… Orders Pentagon to expand target list… ‘SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN EXPECTED’… Actually, I saw a lot of disturbing things on Drudge, but those

It is, so far as I know, the oldest continuously operating calendar in the world. Tonight also marks a Jewish New Year that sees
