Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor for The Nation tweets today:
“Obama’s smart YouTube answer/when asked whether good or bad idea: “Should postal service be privatized?” “Bad idea’” Obama said.
WOW! Only 140 characters yet doubly wrong.
To the writers at the leftist Nation: What in the world makes Obama’s answer ‘smart’?
And to our illustrious leader: Seriously? The postal service [...]

Charles Krauthammer: The Age of Obama: Anno Domini 2 – Heritage Foundation Lecture
February 2, 2010 By 1 Comment
In the real world, as opposed to what French President Nicolas Sarkozy calls President Barack Obama’s “virtual world,” America faces the reality of Iran’s intransigence and aggressiveness; China’s headlong pursuit of its own national, regional, and global interests; Russia’s determination to regain its Near Abroad; the Arab states’ refusal to accept any kind of a [...]

State of the Union: “Woe to the People Whose Leader Has No Teacher”
January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Historically, State of the Union speeches leave no trace. Their impact on presidential approval ratings is nil. Their utility, therefore, is in what they reflect about the presidential character and the presidential course. Last night President Obama gave a speech that was at times quite eloquent, and on occasion rhetorically empty. But at all times [...]
Glenn Beck: Did Nostradamus Write Your Opening Music?
January 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I started listening to The Glenn Beck Program in 2003. One of the things that attracted me to the show was the opening music. It went something like “Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck. Yeah, he likes the sound of his name being rung..” or something like that. It was light-hearted and self deprecating- just like Glenn.

The separate reality of radicals, which made them unable to comprehend the consequences of their own actions was made vivid for me in a New York Times story I read later about the parole appeal of Evans’ third political prisoner Kathy Boudin. The Times had run a series of stories on Boudin, with the reporter [...]

Thank heaven we no longer have to rely on scholars and historians, traditionally restricted by a silly standard called objectivity, to explain the past for us and put under-reported world events “in context.” Previously we, like the prisoners in Plato’s metaphorical cave, have [...]

My son-in-law, Travis, had what I like to call a “reality attack” while attempting to discipline his two-year-old daughter Pearl. Pearl, like most little girls, holds her Daddy’s heart in the palm of her hand. Like most toddlers, she is a formidable force of boundless energy and relentless willpower.
As the young scamp ran past her [...]

Established in 1920 by Roger Baldwin (who candidly stated that “Communism [was] the goal” toward which his efforts were directed), the American Civil Liberties Union characterizes itself as America’s “guardian of liberty,” working to “defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United [...]
