Megan Fox at The Intolerant Fox on Jun 25 2009 | Filed under: Barack Obama, Cap And Trade
This is what passes for good legislation these days. Cap and Trade taxes. For those of you living under a rock, this is the Global Warming (or is it “Climate Change” now that everyone is freezing to death in June?) nonsense bill being rushed through congress as my furious fingers type. They’re going to put [...]

Howard Schneider reports in the Washington Post on Netanyahu’s Peace Stipulation (h/t Backspin)
I suppose what’s disturbing about the article is its portrayal of Netanyahu’s demand as “new.”
The documents accepted by Israeli leaders during breakthrough peace talks with the Palestinians in Oslo in 1993 said nothing about their country’s status as a Jewish state or homeland [...]

“We don’t know yet how this is going to play out.” Over at The Campaign Spot Jim Geraghty is writing that privately the Obama administration is taking credit for Obama inspiring the Iran protectors with his Cairo speech. Really.
Remember how it was important to recognize that these protests in Iran were triggered by ordinary Iranians’ [...]
Bookworm at Bookworm Room on Jun 25 2009 | Filed under: Culture Watch
As you all know, over the years I’ve been fascinated by male and female roles in America. As the mother of a very manly little 10 year old, I take male role models in this culture very seriously. I’ve therefore noticed (and commented upon) the way in which our society consigns boys to perpetual adolescence. [...]

( Discuss at Gates Of Vienna)
Only a few days after the D-Day WWII memorials, concerning which the Dutch blog GeenStijl paid tribute to American soldiers with an impressive photo-series, it has been made public that there will be a President Ronald Reagan memorial in London as tribute to freedom and the [...]

Remember the hoo-ha about the Bush administration’s decision to fire a handful of US attorneys (as opposed to the noncontroversial Clinton decision to fire almost all the US attorneys)? Well, Obama’s in a firing mood now, too.
I wonder if Republicans will have the cojones to check out whether the following is a legitimate firing, or [...]

While President Obama has made a real career out of alienating our traditional allies, he appears to have a special place in his warped heart for Israel.
It started with top administration official snubbing Israel’s Chief of Staff on a special trip here or to discuss Iran. and with special new Pentagon rules put in place [...]

When Sonia Sotomayor made her comments about white guys, she was simply displaying what nowadays passes for mainstream dedicated-lefty thinking…which means it passes for mainstream thinking on behalf of us all.
Justice O’Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases,” [...]

It’s not just the video that’s good, it’s John Hindraker’s comment about Obama’s tax policies:
I think President Obama’s worst weakness is that he is ignorant, not only of economics as an academic discipline, but of business as it is commonly experienced and understood by those in the private sector. This lack of understanding promises to [...]
Joshua Pundit on May 24 2009 | Filed under: Barack Obama, Dick Cheney
Today the American people were treated to an unusual spectacle today..what amounted to dueling speeches on national security.
President Obama’s speech today was obviously a response to ex- VP Dick Cheney’s defense of the Bush Administration’s tactics after 9/11, the controversy over the closing of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and his selective release of [...]
