Barack Obama Is Too Much Like Jimmy Carter, Says… Nation Columnist Eric Alterman?
Conservatives frequently make unfavorable comparisons between Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, but it’s a rarer occurrence to see leftists do the same. So when a lefty zealot like Eric Alterman does precisely that in his latest Daily Beast article, it’s bound to raise eyebrows, though it shouldn’t—where The One reminds right-wingers of Carter through his international and economic ineptness, Alterman sees Obama aping some very different traits from his predecessor.
Echoes of the Tea Party Louder Than Whining Over Ryan Budget
If Paul Ryan’s budget is so unpopular, why aren’t people confronting congressmen on Easter break the way they did over Obamacare during the August 2009 recess?
Governing While Drunk on Partisanship
The central indictment for the catastrophe that ended American prosperity and world dominance.
The New Abolitionist: Dragging the Left to a Moral Argument
Imagine an argument for the abolition of slavery based not upon natural law and fundamental human rights, but whether slavery is an effective means of production. Such an abolitionist might say, “Slaves cannot be relied upon to produce all that the country requires.” The subsequent debate would then center around the efficiency of slavery, rather than its morality.
Boston Professor Hails Obama for Declaring War on Deficits. Wait, What?
Yes, we the people have a moral obligation to lend a hand to our young, our sick, and our downtrodden, but the role of our federal government is to protect our individual rights so we don’t have to watch our backs all the time, so we can focus on other pursuits, such as bettering ourselves and the world around us.

Barack Obama “Winning The Future” Does Not Even Match Charlie Sheen’s “Winning” Formula
President Obama’s response to the serious deficit reduction proposals put forth by House Republicans, led by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), was nothing more than a petulant variation on two tired themes – class warfare and blaming George W. Bush for virtually every problem confronting Obama today — including the growing national debt. In fact, Vice president Joe Biden had heard this boring nonsense so many times before that he actually dozed off.
Has the Ayn Rand “Cult” Brainwashed the Tea Party?
Leftist Rule for Engaging Conservative Ideas #1: conservatives’ motives are never what they claim. It must be rigorously asserted that right-wingers are invariably driven by impulses more sinister than making people better off or trying to find solutions to the problems we face. New Republic senior editor Jonathan Chait knows that lesson by heart—on the Daily Beast, he argues that from the lowliest Tea Partier all the way up to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Right is animated by a view of “the poor as parasites” and “the rich as our rightful rulers,” a dogma we’ve picked up from philosopher Ayn Rand.
