September 3rd, 2010Our Distracted Commander-in-Chief : Some presidents may not like being wartime leaders. But they don’t get to decide; history does
September 3rd, 2010Many have charged that President Obama’s decision to begin withdrawing from Afghanistan ten months from now is hampering our war effort. But now it’s official. In a stunning statement last week, Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Conway admitted that the July 2011 date is “probably giving our enemy sustenance.” Read the rest of this entry »
On MSNBC, an Incensed Maddow Howls Over Obama’s Kind Words for George W. Bush
September 1st, 2010President Barack Obama’s decision to include, in his Tuesday night address from the Oval Office on the end to the “combat mission” in Iraq, a sentence respectful toward former President George W. Bush, appalled MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

Arizona vs. the U.N. Human Rights Police
September 1st, 2010An indignant President Obama complained last week, “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.” Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” — not international law or global diktats.

The Deficit Is a Symptom, Spending Is the Disease
August 26th, 2010Sometime in the next week or so, the U.S. national debt will exceed $13.4 trillion. To put that in perspective: If you earned $1 every second, it would take you 425,000 years to earn enough money to pay off that debt. And it’s not likely to get much better any time soon.

Olbermann Attacks Higher-Rated Competition: ‘Fox News Channel: Making [Expletive] Up Since 1996′
August 25th, 2010It is vile bitterness put on display for America every night of the week – even though not as many people tune in as they do to his competitor. But, still Keith Olbermann seems to obsess over the Fox News Channel. Read the rest of this entry »
He’s No Muslim, He’s a Progressive
August 25th, 2010Ike’s not a Communist, he’s a golfer.” That was Russell Kirk’s succinct response to the claim by John Birchers in the 1950s that President Eisenhower was a Communist. In that spirit, and speaking, we think, for the vast majority of those opposed to the Ground Zero mosque, and in response to many inquiries as to where we stand on this pressing issue, The Weekly Standard would like to say, formally and emphatically, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion: President Obama is not a Muslim. (And, it turns out, he too is a golfer.) Read the rest of this entry »
On Letterman, Brian Williams Cheers ‘Fruits’ of ‘Clinton Economy’ and Ridicules Tea Party
August 24th, 2010Appearing on the Late Show on Monday night to plug his Friday night Dateline on the 5th anniversary of Katrina, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams bizarrely asserted “we’re still enjoying the fruits really of the Clinton economy,” claimed Tea Party activists who say “we want our country back” want it back “from the Trilateral Commission” and ridiculed their presumed hypocrisy as he insisted “you see a lot of signs, ‘Federal Government Out of My Social Security,’ ‘Federal Government Out of My Medicare and Medicaid.’ But for the federal government, of course, those programs would not exist.” Read the rest of this entry »
Inventing Moderate Islam : It can’t be done without confronting mainstream Islam and its sharia agenda
August 24th, 2010‘Secularism can never enjoy a general acceptance in an Islamic society.” The writer was not one of those sulfurous Islamophobes decried by CAIR and the professional Left. Quite the opposite: It was Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual guide and a favorite of the Saudi royal family. He made this assertion in his book, How the Imported Solutions Disastrously Affected Our Ummah, an excerpt of which was published by the Saudi Gazette just a couple of months ago.

Against Stubborn Facts: 9/11 ‘Not a Religious Event’?
August 18th, 2010I’m just catching up to a whopper of a sentence. In an August 3 editorial scorching the “vitriol and outright bigotry” against the Ground Zero Mosque proposal, that “Monument to Tolerance,” as they call it, the Times editorial writers composed this bizarre sentence: “The attacks of Sept. 11 were not a religious event. They were mass murder.”
