Robert Parry of Consortium News has generously agreed to let me republish his terrific article here. This is worth your time. The unwarranted and false attacks on Joe Wilson continue. What is truly sad is that the so-called progressives who once applauded Joe for standing up to the Bush Administration have now […]

This is a simple question and a disturbing answer. If Barack would neglect his own family and tribe, what will he do to Americans he does not know?
This story in the Evening Standard exposes once again the Barack Obama we have been writing about for the last six months. According to the Standard:
The […]

Boy the fur is flying over Obama’s first trip to Europe and his refusal to visit wounded warriors because he could not get a political payoff. John McCain, who has had his own troubles in the past of using U.S. troops as political props, wasted no time bashing Obama for refusing to visit hospitalized […]

Obama’s efforts to catapult himself into the universe of iconic figures took an especially creepy turn today with this poster, which is advertising his speech before a war monument (the Siegessaule) venerated by the Nazi’s.

I’m not entirely sure why the Obama campaign is not shouting from the highest […]

With the approval rating of the Congress under Nancy Pelosi falling–now at 14 percent in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll last month–will Pelosi’s negative image drag down Obama? Instead of displaying the slightest glimmer of self-awareness of her own liability, Pelosi is doing her best to alienate Hillary’s supporters.
Of all the issues that could be […]

The phrases that come to mind? How about:
Petty, Small and Vindictive … Nobama for The New Yorker … No Room on Obama’s Virgin Air One … Nein Wilkommen!
By shutting out the New Yorker correspondent, is Obama engaging in a nasty little act of getting even, demonstrating contempt for a free press, or is it satire? […]

Too bad the latest letter from two top Democratic National Committee officials is not an imaginary missive from a Hollywood comedy. Under those circumstances the bullshit spewed by Don Fowler and Alice Germond might be funny. But they are dead serious in writing the following:
It is time for all Democrats, supporters of Senator […]

Dude. You were raised in Hawaii. Honolulu to be precise. Did you fail to visit Pearl Harbor? WTF??? I thought folks were ginning up an internet goof when word started circulating that you told an audience about “THE BOMB THAT FELL ON PEARL HARBOR.” Here’s the quote:
“…..Throughout our history, […]

There is no denying the violence in Iraq is down compared to a year ago. But this result is not because of the “surge.” We did two things that were not part of the “surge” that made the difference–1) we reduced combat operations in which our troops were entering the homes of […]
