WSJ: Whose Red Line?

Thursday, September 5, 2013

[WSJ] President Obama isn’t easy to follow up San Juan Hill, or for that matter even Capitol Hill. Rather than walk point on national security, he prefers to blend in with the enlisted men and women.

Sunday, June 13, 2010

The Obama administration is feeling a lot of heat regarding their reaction to the continued oil leak in the Gulf.

Moral inversion: Aggressors are victims, victims aggressors.

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

“Draw a cartoon or write a novel offending Islam, and you must go into hiding; defame Jews and earn accolades.” — Victor Davis Hanson. “The consequence of this moral and cultural relativism is that people are increasingly unable to make moral distinctions based on behavior. Such moral equivalence rapidly mutates into moral inversion, in which […]
