The political left has portrayed President Bush as a Nazi and drew up false parallels between America under President Bush and Germany under Adolf Hitler. They cite what he said about Iraq including the claim that Saddam had WMDs, which turned out to be false. Back then, there really seemed to be a lot of evidence coming out that he did have WMDs.

Barackracy Insane Obama is all things to all people. Now he is saying that people over 65 will not have to pay income tax if they make $50,000 or less per year in retirement. The mean household income for a two income family is less than $50,000. Does this mean that the Middleclass will have to pay for the Baby Boomer’s share of income taxes? Does this mean our children will have to pay for the Baby Boomer share of income tax and their entitlements? Does this mean he will say anything to get elected?
When the NRA first released this story, they highlighted a key issue for many voters, the right to keep and bear arms. Now, republished with citations, Barack Obama's positions with regard to your Second Ammendment rights are more clear than ever.

Long before Al Gore told us that polar bears were going to float through our deforested yards and dent our heinous SUVs, there was another global scare that got the media’s shorts all in a fever. Most young liberal voters don’t know anything about it because it started way back in the 1980’s, before a great many of them had benefited from a “yes” answer to their parents’ “pro-choice” dilemma.
Like global warming, this danger was going to kill us all unless we spent billions to fight and prevent it. How did we know the threat was serious? Because fine purveyors of information like Time, Newsweek and the UN told us it was, just like they do with global warming.

First came fire. Then the wheel. Then, shortly thereafter in relative terms, the internal combustion engine, the light bulb, airplanes, air conditioning, the Internet, really cool kitchen equipment and lots of other good stuff.
Much of that stuff that allowed us to move from the trees and caves to our current high-tech dwellings, that moved us from goat barter to contemporary commerce, that allowed some of us to work where we live and others to commute requires fuel and energy.

Some commentators like to point out that many of the most passionate and bravest defenders of the West are women, citing Italian writer Oriana Fallaci and others as examples. But women like Ms. Fallaci, brave as they might be, are not representative of all Western women. If you look closely, you will notice that, on average, Western women are actually more supportive of Multiculturalism and massive immigration than are Western men.

In recent years, liberals have mastered the art of lying. A lefty blog writes a story, then two dozen other blogs pick-up. Next thing you know, the libs in the mainstream media are echoing the charges that started in the blogosphere without mentioning that they're false.
At that point, we're in a Catch-22 because liberals very seldom challenge lies about Republicans, no matter how obvious they may be, and when conservatives point out inaccuracies, it's treated as immaterial because we "must" be biased. Since the mainstream media works this way and is so heavily slanted to the left, it makes it very difficult for conservatives to get their side of the story out.

Since literally the founding of the American Communist Party in 1919, the extreme left -- specifically, the communists -- have relied upon genuine liberals to be dupes, or suckers, to help further their cause. Here's how it typically worked: the communists would engage in some sort of work or agenda, very focused, and which they would be prepared to publicly deny. Anyone who has done any work with or on communists, from New York City to Moscow, can speak at length about how they operated with deceit. As Vladimir Lenin had said, in a favorite quote cited often by Ronald Reagan, the only morality that communists recognized was that which furthered their interests.

Just as class struggle forms the nucleus of Marxism, so does it sit at the very core of the Left's climate alarmism. At a glance, the regressive nature of fiscal Carbon control schemes, be they taxation or cap-and-trade, would appear to be antithetical to liberal thinking. But beneath the veneer of both the domestic and international green agenda lies a devious wealth-redistribution plan compared to which all predecessors pale.

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy isn't known for his judicial modesty. But for sheer willfulness, yesterday's 5-4 majority opinion in Boumediene v. Bush may earn him a historic place among the likes of Harry Blackmun. In a stroke, he and four other unelected Justices have declared their war-making supremacy over both Congress and the White House.
Boumediene concerns habeas corpus – the right of Americans to challenge detention by the government. Justice Kennedy has now extended that right to non-American enemy combatants captured abroad trying to kill Americans in the war on terror. We can say with confident horror that more Americans are likely to die as a result.

“Cynical politics” may be a redundancy, but it is hard to imagine a more cynical political issue than global warming (GW). In his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, Al Gore called for a “wrenching transformation of society.” Leftists, with their elitist penchant for social engineering, didn’t need any convincing. The challenge for Gore was the inconvenient truth that, in a democracy, a would-be central planner needs to get the masses on his side, too. To do that, he borrowed a strategy encapsulated in H.L. Mencken’s statement, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” Apocalyptic GW became Al Gore’s hobgoblin of choice.

Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice Institute believes the Washington Supreme Court has laid the groundwork for mini-dictatorships.
Marriage in Washington is defined as a union between one man and one woman. Dacus sued the mayor of Seattle after he unilaterally issued an order in 2004 recognizing homosexual "marriage" from other jurisdictions, which now includes California. The state Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal, filed by Dacus, on the lower-court ruling favoring the mayor -- meaning he wins and the people lose, says the attorney.

Germany has so far been spared a bloody Islamist terror attack. But it only took two planned attacks in Germany to persuade a majority of the population to support a massive dismantling of civil rights.
Jihad and Fritz. It would be hard to imagine two names much more different than these. Yet there is one thing these two young men with their thoroughly Muslim and German first names have in common. The media attention they attracted to themselves in 2006 and 2007 triggered shifts in German public opinion similar to those brought about by the series of murders perpetrated by the far-left terror group the Red Army Faction three decades ago.

And a large part of this unprecedented growth has taken place within China's military.

These days, there’s nothing more hypocritical - and, if you ask me, downright silly - than the so-called “green” movement throughout the country.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE LEFTISTS’ VIEW OF THE WAR ON TERRORISM IS NOT MERELY THAT THEY BELIEVE LIES, as we so frequently and so recently proven they do. The problem is they believe so many lies, errors so ahistorical and counterfactual as to represent an unreality. The leftist’s myths, intricately layered and mutually reinforcing, bond in such a way as to enclose their adherent within an ideologically driven mania. Subject to imprecision or exaggeration, and folded within the subtext that the United States has always been an oppressive nation, this fervor constitutes, not so much an alternate history as a fairy tale: a simplistic morality yarn for children that carefully tailors its narrative to vindicate its own premises.

It turns out that Western liberal democracies can be subverted without firing a shot.

The so-called Phase Two report is supposed to investigate the Bush administration's handling of prewar intelligence. In reality, the report is little more than yet another attempt by partisan Democrats to make political hay out of flawed prewar intelligence. (The only Republicans to endorse the report were two of the Senate's most liberal GOP members.) The committee focused exclusively on prewar statements by Bush administration officials, ignoring similar statements by leading Democrats.

Somewhere, Lyndon B. Johnson is insulted.
Claiming victory in the race for the Democrats' nomination, Senator Barack Obama said this:
"Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal..."

Modern sociologists use the methodology of polls to learn more about how people think. They apparently have learned something very interesting: liberals are liars.
The National Cultural Values Survey asked a large sampling of Americans various questions about their personal morals and ethics, among other things. First, they determined whether the subjects were "orthodox", "independents", or "progressives" - the modern politically-correct terms for "conservatives", "centrists", and "liberals". Then they went on with the survey. And they found:

In his speech at the tomb of his predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Khamenei made it clear that he understood America to be the leader among "the tyrants of the world."

We face the prospect of electing as President a man who has never spoken directly with General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander who turned around the War in Iraq that has enabled us to cripple Al Qaeda and pave the way for the emergence of an incipient pro-American democracy in that country. Indeed, we face the prospect of electing a man who, if he ever does meet with General Petraeus, probably won't be able to look him in the eye, so devastating to U.S. security interests are the plans that Barack Obama has for decimating our military.

We read various reports of school administrators accommodating Muslim students by providing scheduled prayer time, meeting facilities, foot washing basins, instructors and similar conveniences or facilities. Having school sponsored “Islamic Festivals” or “Be a Muslim for a Week” events is also fair game. These same administrators adamantly refuse any such accommodations to Christian or Jewish students. Punishing Christian students for bringing a Bible to school and denying them school facilities for organization meetings and events is standard practice. We never hear of Muslim students being told to leave their Korans and prayer rugs at home. That would violate the principle of “diversity and tolerance”.

On Friday morning Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) forced a cloture vote to end debate on the Lieberman-Warner “climate tax” bill. He needed to stop the political bleeding among his caucus caused by their enthusiastic promotion of the measure at the time when public attention to gasoline prices is intense and angry. Gasoline prices have increased at least $1.66 since the Democrats won the majority.

Two weeks ago at RedState, we documented Obama’s 1996 endorsement by the New Party. A review of the New Party establishes that not only was the party an amalgamation of far left groups, but Barack Obama knew that when he sought the party’s endorsement.
Most of the New Party’s history has been lost in the digital age. It was established in 1992 and started to die out in 1998, well before Google and the modern web were established. But through lengthy searches of the Nexis archive and microfilm at the local university library, I’ve been able to piece this together.

A recent International Monetary Fund research report listed the countries expected to suffer the worst currency depreciation—that is, the worst inflation—this year. Zimbabwe (a mind-boggling 300,000 percent-plus), Venezuela (25.7 percent), Bolivia (15.1 percent), Nicaragua (13.8 percent), and Argentina (9.2 percent) are the top five. What do these countries have in common? You could reply in two ways: 1) they are poorly governed; 2) they are leftist governments, which is simply another way of saying that they are poorly governed.

FROM THE BEGINNING, THE WAR HAS BEEN BASED ON LIES, DECEPTION, AND PROPAGANDA: the war against President Bush, that is. Beginning five years ago next month, the Party of Defeat's attempts to discredit the commander-in-chief in the midst of a war have continued without quarter, undeterred by factual refutation, rational discourse, measurable progress in Iraq, or palpable damage to the morale of American soldiers in a very hostile part of the world. The Left's campaign against the very war many of its banner-wavers voted to authorize has been built upon a tissues of lies layered upon one another, big and small, consequential and unspeakably petty, political and military, and aimed at the war's rationale and prosecution -- and those implementing both.

Almost precisely at the midpoint between the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3 and the general election on Nov. 4, the general election campaign is on.
Neither party's nominee swept the primaries. John McCain's narrow popular-vote margins in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and most of the Super Tuesday states, combined with the Republicans' winner-take-all delegate allocation rules, effectively gave him the Republican nomination on Feb. 6.
Mike Huckabee made it official by withdrawing after the March 4 Texas and Ohio primaries.

Israel always matters. Biblical scholars have devoted endless pages to ancient Israel as a religious idea, and pundits have penned endless newspaper columns about modern Israel as a geopolitical entity. The deeper implications, however, have received less attention than they deserve in recent years, overshadowed by the exigencies of Middle Eastern politics. Indeed, real questions remain: What does the sheer existence of the modern state of Israel mean for theology—particularly for Christian theology? And what does that theology mean for the continuing existence of Israel?

There’s an oft-alluded to rule in presidential races that says candidates should run to the extreme base of the party to get nominated then drift to the center once the nomination is secured.

Pastors in the Houston area who objected to a pro-Islam assembly at an area junior high school are applauding the removal of the principal who arranged the presentation.
As OneNewsNow previously reported, nearly 900 seventh- and eighth-grade students at Friendswood Junior High were required to attend a pro-Islam presentation by two representatives of the Council on American-Islamic relations. The program stated Islamic opinion on religious issues as fact, and contained instruction on how to practice Muslim religious rituals.

Presumably, if I called myself an atheist, I wouldn't have been held ideologically culpable by this detractor.

Between the night of May 31 and the wee hours of the morning of June 1, 2008, between 20 and 30 black teenagers formed a mob to terrorize the citizens of Mount Clemens, Michigan. These hoodlums robbed people of cell phones and wallets, threw a brick through the window of a moving car, and beat up their victims so badly that at least one of their targets was hospitalized with a fractured skull. In an article in the Macomb Daily entitled “Mob, Carnival Attacks May Be Linked” (6/5/2008), the mother of one of the victims told police that “her son was on the ground trying to fend off the attackers who were ‘about ready to kick his head in’ when deputies arrived.”

John of Powerline gives a powerful example of how the man he backs, McCain, is crippling the Republican party. As Powerline showed last week in a remarkable list of Republican versus Democratic congressional votes on key energy bills over the last several decades, the Republicans are the party that has stood for expanding America's energy sources, while the Democrats have consistently opposed that. But, John writes, since McCain has signed onto the manmade global warming ideology, the Republicans, following their new leader, have been deprived of any argument on ways to increase our energy supplies, robbing them of an important issue to use against the Democrats in the fall campaign and making a big Democratic victory even more likely.

Unlike Hollywood which glorifies and promotes decadence and promiscuity, Shakespeare wrote about the horrors of human frailties. Words used to have specific meanings. In contemporary America words tend to have diluted messages.
Consider how the definitions of the following words have evolved into general pleasantries: love, honor, hero, and friend. Another example is "loan" which references pride in good credit. In actuality, a loan really represents involuntary indentured servitude which is synonymous with voluntary slavery.

It is tough being all things to all people and promising more entitlement and spending at every turn, and then talking about “fixing” government and “changing” how Washington does business. The contradiction takes real rhetorical acrobatics to explain away. It is even tougher to hide all the radicals and Marxists you associated with, supported and excused over the years, and the racist clergy that bellowed hatred to your children. Of course, it helps if the press covers for you, ignores the frequent absurdities and falsehoods and inflates your successes. It helps a lot.

For the last 44 years, Kelleher has run for office 16 times and lost 15. His only taste of victory came in 1971, when he was elected a delegate to Montana's Constitutional Convention. There, he helped replace the state's century-old territorial constitution with one of the most progressive governing documents in the nation. Kelleher's political passion then, as now, is unique - and largely unpopular: He wants to replace the U.S. Senate, House and presidency with a parliament.

One of the most interesting works of anthropology I’ve ever read is The Human Animal, by Weston LaBarre.

Being that it was published in 1954, many of the details in his book have undoubtedly been superseded by more recent research. And yet, he captured the big picture in a way that few people even attempt to do these days.
