Mayor @CoryBooker rescues himself before getting thrown under the Obama bus

Posted by: ST on May 21, 2012 at 8:28 pm » 3 Comments

Here’s how the Obama 2012 campaign treats honesty from one of its staunchest, visible, and popular supporters (hat tip): In Washington, there’s an old cliche: A gaffe is when a politician is accidentally honest. That’s what happened to Newark (N.J.) Mayor Cory Booker during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. Booker, who is widely regarded as [...]

 

Democrats seeking to disenfranchise Arkansas voters, and PA in play?

**Posted by Phineas A few days ago, I wrote about the possibility, albeit it an unlikely one, that President Obama could lose the Arkansas Democratic primary to a little-known challenger. Well, now it seems the Arkansas Democrats, with perhaps a little push from the DNC, are trying to tell angry Arkansans that their votes don’t [...]

 

Moving from tragedy to farce, the UN condemns the evil that is… Canada

**Posted by Phineas Well, at least they’re on the same wavelength as South Park. No, seriously. The “Special Rapporteur on the right to food” for the UN Human Rights Council (We’ve met them before) has decried the lack of “a national right to food strategy” in one of the wealthiest, best-run democracies on the planet: [...]

 

Could Obama lose the Arkansas primary?

Posted by: Phineas on May 16, 2012 at 1:01 pm » 4 Comments

**Posted by Phineas I saw this news yesterday and laughed: A new poll of Arkansas Democrats shows Barack Obama receiving support from only 45 percent of Democratic primary voters in Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District, while 38 percent support his underfunded and relatively unknown primary challenger, Tennessee lawyer John Wolfe, Jr. Seventeen percent are undecided in [...]

 

Obama/Holder Department of Justice now the Department of Cronyism?

**Posted by Phineas Back before the 2010 midterm elections, President Obama went on Univision radio and made this revealing claim: “We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends…” Now, at the time, Obama was talking about Latino voters. But it also seems to be his guiding philosophy when rewarding supporters, and he’s [...]

 

Worshipping Uncle Sam: All you need to know about the Obama administration’s “#Julia”

Posted by: ST on May 3, 2012 at 6:53 pm » 13 Comments

This breathtakingly stupid slide show from Team Obama about how a fictitious woman named “Julia” will fare in life under “Obama’s policies” versus “Romney’s policies”  represents the absolute rot of this administration”s “belief system”: govt over individual, with government being the “savior” and the individual being the “helpless victim” who needs rescuing from Democrats. Here’s [...]

 

How the one-percent live

Posted by: Phineas on May 2, 2012 at 2:01 pm » 4 Comments

**Posted by Phineas That is, the elite, cocktail-swirling Democratic Socialist one-percent: Last Friday night, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held their 54th Annual Eugene V. Debs–Norman Thomas–Michael Harrington Award Dinner at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza in Chicago. You of course might not expect anything too fancy from a group so devoted to the [...]

 

(Video) The love of theory is the root of all evil

**Posted by Phineas In one of the best segments of Afterburner in recent memory, Bill Whittle explores the dangers of dogma, that obsessive devotion to a theory that leads one to ignore all evidence to the contrary, and the consequences be damned: The genius of Bill’s proposition lies in its simplicity. Look at the Hell [...]

 

Quote of the Day: Our Imperial EPA Edition

**Posted by Phineas EPA regional administrator A. Armendariz demonstrates the proper demeanor of a public servant toward the public: I was in a meeting once and I gave an analogy to my staff about my philosophy of enforcement. “It’s kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean: they’d go [...]

 

Good News: Barack Obama will find NC much more challenging in 2012

Posted by: ST on April 24, 2012 at 2:12 pm » 10 Comments

The Politico has an interesting story up today on the uphill challenges Barack Obama will face in the (new) swing state of North Carolina that he did not face in 2008 (hat tip): North Carolina represented the high-water mark for the great Obama wave in 2008 — but he’s swimming against the tide there in [...]
