Unanswered Questions About Libya, And Some ObamaLuv

Kinda hard to believe that people at the Politico are being somewhat critical of Obama, as the news outlet has typically been one of his best cheerleaders, but, there you have it, though it is a bit more of the “tut-tut” type criticism, along with an attempt to explain what’s inside Obama’s head, since Obama […]

NY Times Editorial Board Finally Finds Their Groove On Libya Intervention

Whew! I thought this day would never come.

Fish Wrap’s Ross Douthat Finally Figures Out The Liberal Spin On Libya

He seems to be the only one. For the most part, the liberal media pundits have ignored the Libyan actions. In all the major liberal sources, most are avoiding any sort of editorials, for or against, “Obama’s war,” even while Obama’s liberal base is up in arms in slamming Obama. Obviously, this is A Very […]

Apparently, We Need NPR TO Fill A Gap

The Washington Post attempted to defend National Public Radio, ie, government funded radio Thursday.

Obviously, Peter King’s Islamist Hearings Are Like McCarthyism

The Left is pulling out all the stops in order to make sure that the role of “extremist Islam” in America is ignored, and that the hearings are marginalized, if not prematurely ended. They’d be much more comfortable if King was investigating what America did wrong, or Christianity or Judaism. Remember, if a Christian or […]

Obama Is Tough On Leakers – Obviously, Liberals Have A Problem With This

This morning, the Politico has a story up regarding Obama’s tough stance towards leakers of secret material, one of the few things in which I actually agree with Mr. Obama.
