Obama’s trip: “Tour of Duty” by Marie Jon'

Presumptive Democrat nominee Barack Obama’s trip to Afghanistan, Iraq and Europe is all part and parcel of a full blown media event that most intuitive Americans will view as contrived and overdone; an event to compensate for Sen. Obama’s lack of experience and extraordinarily thin political portfolio. The media has helped orchestrate this publicity stunt to attract attention to their chosen candidate. There is no more doubt that they are in the tank for the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee.

Obama Uber Alles: Europe’s Disquieting Endorsement by Libertas

Indeed, the audacity of his presidential-style trip is nothing short of galling, and it is sure to backfire with many who see a glaring incongruence between Obama’s accomplishments and his magisterial pretensions.

He ventured forth to bring light to the world By Gerard Baker

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

This allowed this nation to grow incredibly strong and economically prosperous. It meant jobs, it meant the ability to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor, and for each generation preceding the next to enjoy an even greater way of life and much sooner than our elders ever dreamed of.

meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a a symptom of mental illness marked by delusions of greatness :: Patriot City

Megalomania is an unrealistic belief in one's superiority, grandiose abilities, and even omnipotence. It is characterized by a need for total power and control over others, and is marked by a lack of empathy for anything that is perceived as not feeding the self.
Although megalomania is a term often ascribed to anyone who is power-hungry, the clinical definition is that of a mental illness associated with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
Narcissism is most simply defined as self-love. Though it is considered healthy to care about your own well-being and have a healthy self-esteem, when someone loves himself to the exclusion of all else and others become objectified to be used only to serve the self, this is no longer considered healthy or normal.

And, to my never-ceasing astonishment, virtually every single time I do this, I encounter exactly the same thing. After a few brief lines--on occasion even poetical lines--about the greatness of Allah and his creation, the text suddenly switches from praise of Allah to lengthy enraged denunciations of those who reject Allah and his Prophet and imprecations of horrible eternal tortures upon them. Overwhelmingly, the main theme of the Koran is fury and hatred against non-Muslims, expressed in the most sadistic language ever placed between the covers of a single book.

After securing an earmark and two other federal grants totaling some $2.6 million for the project, the Democratic congressman wrote letters on his congressional stationery to businesses with interests before his committee. They sought meetings to help him fulfill his "personal dream" of seeing the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service completed.

Barack Obama's Road to Ruin Economic Policies By Gerard Jackson

In order to deal with Obama's economic illiteracy we need to grasp some fundamental economic theory. Let's begin with Obama's ridiculous belief that increasing government expenditure and taxation can stimulate growth. First and foremost, economic growth is a process of capital accumulation. It is this process that raises real wage rates and thus living standards.

Shedding New Light on the Mufti's Alliance With the Nazis :: CAMERA

In late 1942 and May 1943, as the Nazi program to murder all the Jews reached its apex, desperate attempts were underway to rescue several thousand Jewish children by ransoming their lives in exchange  for German nationals held by the Allies. Negotiations were progressing until Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem, got wind of these plans and protested vociferously. The deals were cancelled and the children presumably perished in the Nazi killing centers.

With a grand conviction befitting something more noble, say the Spanish Inquisition, climate “scientists” and their disciples have come up with a term that fits the enemies of the world, the would be destroyers of the planet–Deniers!  It is shouted with such voracity and derision that one feels the religious zeal in the flecks of spittle that accompany their angry pronouncement.  GLOBAL WARMING DENIER!

'Rig' The Election By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

A day after House Democrats pretend to be in favor of drilling, Sen. Diane Feinstein calls offshore drilling a "distraction." Mark Sept. 30 on your calendar. It's the day Democrats have to put up or shut up.

When President Bush lifted the executive order banning exploration and drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf, two things happened almost immediately: The world price for oil started to drop and the Democrats panicked. They could no longer hide under the umbrella the order provided.

Rockbama Plays Baghdad Jed Babbin

It’s not, as the Washington Post declared melodramatically, that Obama’s “foreign policy credentials are at stake” in his tour of the Middle East and Europe this week.  Obama has no credentials to risk.  It’s closer to what the Agence France-Presse wrote:  Obama’s audition for the part of commander-in-chief.  Fortunately for the Illinois naïf, all three network news anchors -- CBS’s Katie Couric, ABC’s Charlie Gibson and NBC’s Brian Williams -- have decided to accompany Obama on his credibility-invention tour.

Obama's Special Interests By Michael Reagan

Barack Obama is given to calling the GOP a party captive of hateful special interests.
It takes a lot of what my Jewish friends call “chutzpah” to suggest that unnamed special interests control the Republican Party when his own party is totally captive to the most wealthy and powerful special interests in the nation.

Obama and the national Democratic Party is owned lock, stock and barrel by the teachers’ unions, the bosses of big labor, cash-heavy, tree-hugging environmental groups, and Planned Parenthood and its allies in the sleazy abortion industry.

Time For Facts By Jennifer Rubin

The Democrats have argued for years that Ronald Reagan and then George W.

What Kind of American Are You? By Peter Wright

Somehow Americans have fallen off track. Whether because of Marxism insinuating its way through American education and journalism or for some other reason, many have lost sight of the vision and genius of our Founding Fathers. In his last speech, Patrick Henry declared, “ United we stand, divided we fall.” The proliferation of hyphenated Americans demonstrates another tool of division, and then subjugation, as Theodore Roosevelt eloquently states here in his October 1915 speech:

Midnight in the kindergarten of good and evil By Spengler

Is morality possible without religion? Since German philosopher Immanuel Kant offered a "what-if-everybody-did" rule in 1788, modern philosophers have cracked their skulls against the problem without success. Kant's rule requires you to tell the truth at all times, for example, when a pederast inquires as to your child's route home from grade school. It was not a popular idea. Twentieth century secular philosophers declared the problem irrelevant. According to existentialists like Martin Heidegger, another German philosopher, authenticity rather than virtue is what is important, even if leads to Nazi party membership, while pragmatists like the just-deceased American philosopher Richard Rorty assert that we cannot make objectively true statements about anything.

Yes, It Does: Why Resolving To Drill Here, Now, Will Lower The Price Of Gas, Now :: American Sentinel

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently pronounced that George W. Bush is a “total failure” as President. Coming from one of the top officials in a Congress that recently got a nine per cent (!) vote of confidence from the American people, I accept that as expert testimony; Nancy Pelosi certainly should know failure when she sees it. Nevertheless, as we say in the South, even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then, and it looks as if G. W. snuffled one up last week when he lifted the Executive Order banning offshore drilling for gas and oil.

The Death of Protestant America: A Political Theory of the Protestant Mainline by Joseph Bottum

The average American these days would have ­trouble recalling the dogmas that once defined all the jarring sects, but their names remain at least half alive: a kind of verbal remembrance of the nation’s religious history, a taste on the tongue of native speakers. Think, for instance, of the old Anabaptist congregations—how a residual memory of America’s social geography still lingers in the words: the Hutterites, Mennonites, and Amish, set here and there on the checkerboard of the nation’s farmland. The Quakers in their quiet meeting­houses, the Shakers in their tiny communes, and the Pentecostals, born in the Azusa Street revivals, like blooms forced in the hothouse of the inner city.

Why the Left can’t get it Right By Mark Alexander

  Ask a liberal about some manifestation of his worldview—for example, why he supports charlatans like Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Albert Arnold Gore, Jean-Francois Kerry, et al., and he invariably predicates his response with, “Because I feel...”

Ask a conservative about what he believes, or why he does or doesn’t support John McCain, and he invariably predicates his response with, “Because I think...”

It has always been easier to “feel” rather than “think,” and that is why our national culture, and by extension, national politics (see Democrat Party Platforms) reflect only the most rudimentary remnants of the guiding principles established by our Founders. Of course, though Republican Party Platforms are more consistent with our Founding principles, Ronald Reagan was the last Republican president to stand firmly in support of those principles.

Change We Really Need By Thomas E. Brewton

If Senator Obama’s magic change-wand truly works, the change we need is eradication from our society of the degraded and debauched ethos of liberal-progressive-socialism that led us to inflation and near collapse of financial markets.

It is currently fashionable for liberal commentators to denounce capitalist free markets as the culprit in the housing bubble collapse. That amounts to blaming the existence of law and a judicial system for causing crime.
