Second time this week, I’m in agreement with a NY Times columnist, at least on the language I quote if not the overarching Obama-maniacal subtext. First, it was Maureen Dowd writing on the cowardice of Eric Holder. Now David Brooks, warning that the administration’s economic...

Another fed-up, closet conservative has started a blog, Bread Upon The Waters. Check it out. Here’s part of the first post, which expresses the frustration — and fear of discovery — so many of us felt before we liberated ourselves and came out of the...

I wish this were a joke, but it’s not. The town of Dryden, NY, near Ithaca, has plans to build a bridge in an area so remote that the town does not want to spend its own money on it, so it is seeking federal...

The website DebkaFile is reporting that Bibi Netanyahu’s choice for Israeli Foreign Minister is Anatoly (Natan) Sharansky, a hero of the Soviet refusenik movement. For those of you who are not familiar with Sharansky, his story is inspiring. In the weeks just before and after...

Larrey Anderson is a frequent contributor to, and an editor of, American Thinker. I’ve spoken with and corresponded with Larrey numerous times in connection with several of my articles published at A.T. One thing that always jumped out at me is how much Larrey talked...

The cold day in hell has just arrived. I agree with Maureen Dowd: Yet Obama is oozing empathy compared with his attorney general, who last week called us “a nation of cowards” about race. Eric Holder, who showed precious little bravery in standing up to...

As reported by the putative first gentile Prime Minister of Israel: “Quick synopsis of every Jewish holiday: Theytried to kill us; we won; let’s eat.”

Ah, hope and change. Near silence from the American mainstream media, but this news item from the Brits about Obama appointing one of his key fundraisers as Ambassador to Great Britain: Barack Obama has been embroiled in a cronyism row after reports that he intends...

The beginning of a protest movement against Barack Obama’s redistributive policies is underway. Though still small, every movement starts somewhere. While called the “Tea Party” after the Boston Tea Party, this movement is similar to movements throughout history where the producers of society refuse to...

Another Obama “I told you so,” this time from Investor’s Business Daily: Last Oct. 13 [2008], in trying to explain why the market had sold off 30% in six weeks, we acknowledged that the freeze-up of the financial system was a big concern. But we...

I am about to tread where sane people in this society dare not go for fear of having their words twisted: Discussing race. Attorney General Eric Holder told us not to be cowards on the subject, so let’s talk about whether non-racist cartoons or words...

Hillary Clinton went to China to assure Chinese investors (i.e. the Chinese government) about the safety and security of investing in the U.S. (video here). Great. What about assuring U.S. investors? Don’t we matter? With the export-heavy Chinese economy reeling from the U.S. downturn, Clinton...

This must be some sort of plot to undermine Republican opposition to Obama’s stimulus plan. Online marketers of “free government money” get-rich-quick schemes now are targeting Republicans: Where did I find this? Through a Google Ad over at Finkelblog. Seems like Mark’s audience must have...

There’s an old saying on Wall Street that a bear market has not bottomed out until the last bull capitulates. News flash. The last bull has capitulated. Me. I’m a true believer in capitalism and markets. There is no better measure of what an item...

A centerpiece of Barack Obama’s foreign policy is convincing Europeans, particularly NATO members, to help with the effort in Afghanistan. George Bush, it was said, too long had practiced the politics of “go it alone.” We were assured that once we asked nicely, instead of...
