Stalinism hasn’t really gone away. It’s just gotten a lot wimpier — and sweeter.
Case in point: Bill Maher’s most recent New Rules segment from Friday’s “Real Time” (reprinted as always at Arianna Huffington’s leftist mega-blog Huffington Post):
And since Americans can only be prodded into doing something with money, we need to tax crappy foods that [...]

President Obama told the UN General Assembly this morning that “we will permit no safe-haven for al Qaeda to launch attacks from Afghanistan or any other nation.”
Nice words. Yet his actions — or, more precisely, his inaction — are beginning to undercut his rhetoric. President Obama appears to be retreating from Afghanistan. As Bill O’Reilly [...]

David Horowitz commented on The One’s sellout speech to the UN this morning. Sometimes one stray fact is enough to tell a whole story: The biggest applause lines by far were his declaration that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” and his pledge to end the Israeli “occupation that began in [...]

Apparently, it’s some “Senior Fellow’s” job at Media Matters to watch Glenn Beck’s FOX News show, then report on which companies are still running commercials in his time slot.
Life in the George Soros Steno Pool. Darn, I knew I should have gone to college…
Let’s review, shall we? A group originally co-founded by disgraced ex-Green Jobs [...]
There is no more solemn duty as President than the decision to deploy our armed forces into harm’s way. I do it today mindful that the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan demands urgent attention and swift action. The Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan, and al Qaeda supports the insurgency and threatens America from its safe-haven [...]
Glenn Beck spread the alarm on his TV show Tuesday about an anti-capitalist, anti-individualist video that is being shown to schoolchildren across America. The video was made by former Greenpeace employee Annie Leonard and the extreme-left Tides Center, a pass-through entity that allows wealthy donors like billionaire leftist George Soros to give money to causes without the source of funds [...]

Peter Collier and I drew attention to this nihilism more than a decade ago in “Destructive Generation,” the book we wrote about our second thoughts. We, too, pointed out the sense of alienation as a defining element of the “progressive” left. As editors of Ramparts magazine, we had produced a cover featuring a 7-year-old, the [...]

The U.S. President began his speech to an audience that included Ahmadinejad, Qadhafi and Hugo Chavez by explaining, somewhat apologetically, that it is his responsibility to defend the interests of his nation.
But since Barack Obama never opens his mouth without speaking out of both sides of it, you have to wait for the punch line [...]
