Climategate & Leftist hypocrisy.

Having read many of the e-mails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia writer James Delingpole summarizes six major categories, including: (1) Manipulation of evidence in favor of global warming, (2) Private doubts about whether the world really is heating up, (3) Suppression of evidence contrary to their views, (4) [...]

Thoughts about Ft. Hood: What if Hasan had been McVeigh?

There is not a perfect or even agreed upon definition of “Terrorism,” but I think this definition by Yohan Alexander in his 2002 book Combating Terrorism: Strategies of 10 Countries is about the best I’ve read. Consider his definition as you debate whether or not the mass murder by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was terrorism [...]

Obama cruel to the kind, kind to the cruel.

In just the past 72 or so hours President Barack Obama has both become the first president to ever refuse to meet the Dalai Lama, and denied funding to the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center. Both are policies based in appeasement, and the president’s track record on that is quite disturbing.
Beyond the historic snub, it’s [...]

So much for “the good war.”

In a matter of about three weeks, the Left’s view of Afghanistan has gone from “the good war” to “the next Vietnam.” This turnabout — in effect, the Left is dumping the war now that it has stopped being politically useful — deserves an honored place in the annals of bad faith. Meantime, our troops [...]

Dissent is the highest form of racism?

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism,” we were told by the opposition during the Bush administration. It seems that now that same opposition believes that “Dissent is the highest form of racism.” So get on board and join the program, or else you’re a racist.
So much for the unity president. From the Obama administration’s [...]

“You should stop this. You should help us.”

Here’s Michael Goldfarb:
The left wanted Obama to keep his mouth shut for fear of undermining the protesters by allowing the regime to portray them as U.S. pawns. Well, at what point does Obama risk alienating a future generation of Iranians by sitting on the sidelines as they get butchered in the streets?

But then, do liberals [...]

‘I apologize for the improvement’?

Let me also address the issue of Iraq. Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world. Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of [...]

Dems terror rhetoric not matching their actions.

It would be comical were it not our national security.
Democrats have a lot of rhetoric denouncing Bush-era War on Terror policies these days. Just one thing: They seem to be keeping all of the Bush-era War on Terror policies.
Saying earlier today that the United States “went off course” with it’s post 9-11 actions President Obama [...]

Against tribunals… no, for them!

Here’s the Wall Street Journal:
President Obama’s endorsements of Bush-Cheney antiterror policies are by now routine: for example, opposing the release of prisoner abuse photographs and support for indefinite detention for some detainees, and that’s just this week. More remarkable is White House creativity in portraying these U-turns as epic change. Witness yesterday’s announcement endorsing military [...]

Obama blinks on detainee photos!

The water gets deeper for Nancy Pelosi. Boy, if you’re a Democratic politician you know you are in trouble when even liberal outlets like the St. Petersburg Time’s Politifact or Jon Stewart are calling you a liar.
For all his faults Barack Obama isn’t a dummy, and can certainly tell when the tide is turning. Today, [...]
