The minnow eats the whale, again...
It's no secret that Obama doesn't like Bibi Netanyahu, and the feeling seems to be mutual. It's been a virtual warfare of insults since Bibi took Obama to school on the 1967 borders: and then got a more rousing welcome in Congress than Obama ever has,...
From Sandy, spotted on a car with Virginia plates: Meant to send these to you earlier, saw the sticker on a car in a local parking lot (post election, during the holidays). Sums my belief precisely. Stay strong, keep the faith. Fire in the Hole ! ...
I missed this when reading Obama's inaugural speech (still haven't listened to it). I just heard Jonah Goldberg make reference to it on Special Report with Bret Baier. Via Tom Ricks at Foreign Policy Blog, Obama’s 2nd inaugural address: 'Peace in our time'? Really, Mr. President? The WTF moment...
As soon as the president began his inaugural address yesterday with a nod to the Constitution, I actually said aloud, “Uh-oh.” Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution...
Professor Jacobson made an exceedingly important point yesterday: Our focus must be on "changing what we can change, protecting what we can protect, undermining what we can undermine, acting locally." Based on my experience in San Diego, I cannot stress enough the vital role that local...
After enduring hours of derision and mockery by the panelists at a Chicago-area guns "forum" Sunday, one man in the audience stood up and addressed the crowd, identified himself as a veteran, and proceeded to give a straightforward but passionate defense of his support for...
Update: Looks like Bibi Netanyahu will be selected to put together a government, but is not in as strong a position as expected just weeks ago. Carl in Jerusalem has all the details and live updates. Carl also updates on something I touched on below, Breaking:...
While he puts the usual liberal spin on it, Greg Sargent at WaPo is correct that Obama sees his path forward as overwhelming Republicans. Sargent writes: Yesterday, President Obama used his Inaugural Address to lay out an expansive case for progressive governance, one rooted in the...
in a blue county in Ohio. Could this be to 2014 what Obamacare was to 2010, an issue which cuts across party lines outside of the big cities? From Kathryn: Thought you might be interested in a couple photos from the very blue Lucas County, Ohio, gun...
Text here In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior...
I have pointed out before how In RI, Public Sector Unions Are The State and how behind almost every Democratic politician there stands a union. So the latest news is not surprising. Via ProJo, Laborers' union again gives two R.I. Senate leaders six-figure compensation: Annual reports showing the...
No need to watch Obama's inaugural speech. Text is here. Same old, same old straw men, platitudes, and ode to big government and collectivism: Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can...
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. There could be no more appropriate time to reflect on Martin Luther King's words than Inauguration Day, when the man who...
There is a fascinating discussion of gun control at Eudaimonia blog. I don't know who the author is, but the really, really loooong A Few Thoughts On Gun Control is well worth the read. It is chock full of interesting images and charts like this one: and this and...
I'll use this as my own inauguration day, spending the day thinking about what we can do better. I have not given in to all the doom and gloom, although it's hard not to. There is a deliberate effort to declare the Republican Party, conservatives, and...
The Lower Hudson Journal News infamously published a list of licensed gun permit holders in two counties in New York, including names and home addresses. The reaction included retaliatory publication of Journal News staff home addresses and phone numbers, widespread condemnation even from other journalists, and ultimately,...
