Frank Rich has a blood lust as do many of those pushing the false meme that opposition to Obama equals racism and violence, as witnessed by Rich’s latest polemic in the NY Times today, The Rage Is Not About Health Care. As happened with the...

Let me guess, this is all Israel’s fault in the new “balanced” approach to the Middle East. From the Times of London: SAUDI ARABIA is pouring hundreds of millions of pounds into Islamist groups in the Balkans, some of which spread hatred of the West...

The reaction to Obama’s treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu was as strong if not stronger than I have seen in the comments here and elsewhere in the blogosphere on any other issue. (I didn’t let through a number of over-the-top comments.) Why...

From Nile Gardiner at The Telegraph (h/t Gateway Pundit via Instapundit), on the destructive Obama foreign policy: I wrote recently about Barack Obama’s sneering contempt for both Israel and Great Britain. Further confirmation of this was provided today with new details emerging regarding the President’s...

In late October 2008, shortly before the election, I wrote an article for American Thinker titled It’s 3 a.m. and the Prime Minister of Israel is Calling. The title of my article was a play on Hillary Clinton’s 3 a.m. campaign ad, which suggested that...

Some more thoughts on the worst piece of legislation “since the Great Depression,” in no particular order: Democrats won the messaging war. Democrats succeeded in portraying the bill as being about “giving” people “health care.” Even Republicans used the terminology. In fact, everyone has hospital...

At first, I thought this was a hoax, so I held off posting. But apparently it is for real, University of Ottawa’s letter to Ann Coulter. I am reprinting it in full, because it is a paradigm of intolerance of opposing conservative viewpoints under the...

David Frum knows who is to blame for what appears to be an Obamacare victory: Conservatives who refused to negotiate with Democrats even though Frum admits he has no idea if such negotiations would have resulted in a better bill. I do know. The bill...

Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake has been one of the few avowed progressives willing to speak out against Obamacare. As I have explored before, Hamsher’s central objection is my central objection, the mandate. We object to the mandate on very different grounds; she because it makes...
