The love that dare not shut up

My wife went to an extremely liberal high school, and for whatever her reason, is Facebook friends with many classmates who now are certified members of the Obama cult of personality. It is a never ending source of amazement how deeply these people, now in their...

Operation Demoralize is working just as planned

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 09, 2012 68 Comments

It's November 7. Barack Obama has won. The Republican presidential strategy has failed. The media is jubilant. The right-blogosphere is going through a serious introspection. The left-blogosphere is dancing on our graves and shoving it down our throats. Four years of fighting the Obama agenda...

Before there was 2016: Obama’s America, there was 2010: Obama’s Middle East

This 30-minute video was produced in March 2012 by the Emergency Committee for Israel. Unlike 2016: Obama's America, the video does not attempt to ascertain a cause, it just deals with the facts of how Obama has undermined Israel: Some of my related prior posts: Obama got Osama,...

Do not look directly at it

You'll go mad. Commenter K took this photo in Gainesville, FL, and writes: I don't know what it is about the "It's Working, You're Welcome" sticker that gets under my skin more than most others but it has the effect of temporarily clouding my vision. The sheer arrogance,...

Legal Insurrection 2016

I finally saw 2016: Obama's America in Ithaca Saturday night. I can see how our friend judged it an Omg! Had I not followed Obama so closely since 2008 and instead relied mainly on the mainstream media, almost everything in the film would have come as...

Saturday Night Card Game (John Lewis may have authority, but he’s also wrong)

There is a phenomenon in American politics which is not exclusive to either party, what sometimes is called the fallacy of the appeal to authority. On the political level it involves finding a heroic figure, and then wrapping him or her around an otherwise odious political message...

A vote for Jim Matheson is a vote for Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 08, 2012 6 Comments

One of the biggest electoral scams in the country is being run by Jim Matheson in Utah-04 against Mia B. Love. As detailed here before, Matheson plays a Democratic moderate on TV, and strategically votes against his party on high profile votes when his vote doesn't...

Zombies are the One Percent

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 08, 2012 13 Comments

From reader J: Here's a pic of a car in Charlottesville, VA, of an OFFICIAL NAVY car with a bumper sticker showing our illustrious leader punching out "zombies." Are we to infer that these "zombies" are anyone who dares to disagree with him? Whatever happened to "Dissent is...

Clint Eastwood gave his first post-convention interview today explaining how he came to address the "empty chair" and just what he thinks of the reaction.

When did Jennifer Granholm acquire a Southern accent?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 32 Comments

What is it with the Dems? Whenever they want to feel real, they put on fake accents, particularly stereotypical black southern accents. Hillary did it in 2008 and Joe "Chains" Biden did it recently. Do you detect a slight southern twang in Jennifer Granholm's imitation of...

“Unemployment Rate” at 8.1%, labor participation rate drops again, fewer than 100k new jobs created

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 25 Comments

Another one of those anomolies which makes the unemployment rate look better than it is. The rate as calculated drops when people drop out of the work force because they no longer are counted as unemployed. So while the media and Obama campaign probably will try...

Who said this? “Warren will probably lose in Mass. she is so gratingly smug”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 07, 2012 14 Comments

Who said that? The same person who says -- in agreement with a position I took long ago -- Could Elizabeth Warren Cost Obama The Election? Obama's riff on "you didn't build that" remains, in my view, the most serious mistake of his campaign so far. There's a...
