The past week has been a showcase of the most incompetent administration we have seen since Jimmy Carter. Day after day we have watched as this administration bumbled its way throughout the Egypt crisis. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing and this alone should scare the bejesus out of you.
Talking points galore, all wrong. From Mubarak must go, to Mubarak must stay…for awhile, to Mubarak is leaving today, to “I don’t know what the flying f*** is going on but we hope the protesters are safe” Continue reading
Whenever money is at stake, teachers’ unions invariably resort to the emotional canard of
“It’s for the children.”
But inevitably when the budget ax falls, it always falls on whatever the children like the most. Generally, teachers’ unions are so avaricious that they would rather see positions eliminated rather than accept a small sacrifice. Chris Christie proved that last fall. Democrats even cut funding for food stamps in order to stuff $24 million into teachers’ unions. Continue reading
Over the past year President Obama and liberal Democrats in general have been taking a pounding on the issue of unemployment and their prescription to solve this problem via Keynesian pump priming. They went so far as to issue the now infamous graphic showing their projection of what would happen if they didn’t do anything versus spending money we didn’t have via Stimulus Spending. In two years time, the hype about creating or saving three million jobs has pretty much been dropped by the Obama Administration. Having VP Joe Biden continually and somewhat comically demonstrate the lack of credibility of such a measureless assertion created more cynicism among the voters than confidence. The elections of November 2010 put an end to this silly meritless assertion since the voters seeing 9+% unemployment demonstrated they weren’t buying what was being foisted. Continue reading
Obama can sing and dance and guess who pulls his strings. Oh, there he is our Great Reader Strutting like a proud world leader See how he controls bold dictators Treats them as little more than waiters Oh listen Brave … Continue reading
Is there any better sign that Democrats are worried about the fight against ObamaCare then this trumped up call for Justice Thomas to recuse himself from the proceedings?
Seventy-four House Democrats have signed a letter to Clarence Thomas asking the Supreme Court justice to recuse himself from any deliberations on the constitutionality of the national health care overhaul, arguing that his wife’s work as a lobbyist creates “the appearance of a conflict of interest.” Continue reading
Abraham Lincoln is attributed with the following:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Clearly he had Democrats in mind. Continue reading
Dear Obama,
I’m not a member of the elite. I’m not a millionaire and I don’t claim to have any power or influence. I’m just an average taxpayer who lives in fly-over country. On behalf of all the Suzy Homemaker’s and Joe Six-Pack’s who are my neighbors, I’d like to request a favor. Please, please, leave us alone. Continue reading
Liberals:
President Obama: “To the people of Egypt, particularly the young people of Egypt, I want to be clear: We hear your voices.”
President Obama from less than a year ago about much larger demonstrations all over America: “So I’ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes. You would think they would be saying thank you.” and “Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I’m not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around…” Continue reading
Ann Althouse brings up some great points in this trio of posts responding to another law professor’s op-ed today but none more better then this:
“Tribe’s op-ed, as I wrote in the first post, rests very heavily on misrepresenting the Supreme Court’s commerce power doctrine as referring to “commercial choices.” In fact, the cases refer to “commercial activities,” and a switch from “activity” to “choice” is immensely important in the health care litigation, in which opponents stress that the failure to buy insurance is inactivity, not activity, and therefore beyond even the broadest interpretations the Supreme Court has ever given to the Commerce Clause.” Continue reading
