The President Who Demands Sacrifice Feasts on $100/Pound Steaks!
President Obama says he knows we’re in tough times. He says things are going to get worse before they get better, and that we all have to make sacrifices in order to make it through our difficulties. So how does Obama sacrifice? We already know that he refuses to sacrifice his comfort. After a...

Will Obama Force Physicians to Violate their Ethics and Morals?
President Obama reportedly wants to rescind a Bush Administration policy that strengthened job protections for doctors and nurses who refused to provide a medical service on moral grounds. The regulation in question augments years-old federal protections of the rights of moral objectors by requiring...

Obama Agenda a “Confidence Game,” Claims Cover of Newsweek
Any glance at a newsstand will reveal one magazine after another proclaiming Barack Obama’s glorious ascent to power. Nothing at all wrong with that, given the undeniably historicity of his election, although I do wonder if the extra money the publishers are raking in by marketing to Obamania is...

Sow the Wind of Ignorance, Reap the Whirlwind of Tyranny
One of the most famous quotes attributed to our founding fathers was the warning that, to paraphrase, our republic would be doomed as soon as the voters learned to vote themselves goodies from the public treasury. In the 2008 election, that dire prediction was not only fulfilled by the choices made...

Will Protests Against Obama be Acclaimed in the Media?
Remember how the lamestream news media used to take delight in reporting all the protests against President Bush? Anytime some liberals got together and started waving signs and chanting slogans, the lamestreamers were right there, giving them all the free press and adulation they could. Well, I...

Bah, Humbug! Ebenezer Obama Wants to Tax Charitable Giving by Wealthy
President Obama’s multi-trillion-dollar budget contains a huge lightning rod for bipartisan opposition. He wants to limit tax deductions for charitable contributions by individuals earning over $200,000 or couples earning over $250,000, and he’s counting on this to rake in $179.8 billion in new tax...

Obama’s Budget a Mathematical Impossibility, Will Bankrupt Nation
My wife and I have the dubious honor of having been among the millions of Americans who have recently experienced bankruptcy. It wasn’t due to bad luck, and not to the economy. And we certainly couldn’t blame President Bush for it, even though it was all the rage to blame him for all sorts of...

What’s the Bigger Story: Obama’s Speech, or Criticism of It?
So what was the news story last night? What was worthy of discussion and critique? Was it President Obama’s speech to Congress about the glories of bloated government and increased dependency in its beneficence? Or was it the response by Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s response – or, more to the...

Democrats Fudge Meanings of Words to Smear Porkulus Opposition
It occurred to me today that a good deal of the confusion and uproar over the Porkulus bill is due to President Obama and the other liberals employing a standard tactic of propagandists – hiding the truth by ignoring or arbitrarily changing the meaning of words. Consider, for example, the...

Obama Promise to Cut Deficit Plays to Voter Ignorance and Apathy
