Last Sunday, at Festifall in Chapel Hill, NC, I met a peace/anti-torture activist, from the NC Peace Coalition. I asked her what Obama had done for peace (of course knowing the answer, but wondering if she would be honest about it). “Nothing… but I love him anyway!” she at least honestly replied.
So Obama “won” the [...]

Point out to Chomsky supporter that Michelle Malkin attempted to fabricate these exact allegations about Ron Paul two years ago.

Obama Mania, Seen Through Cupcakes

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Obama is akin to a god in the eyes of many people. We’ll see how long that holds up. Meanwhile, it’s amusing to see the many ways in which his followers show their love for their leader.

Disputing Obama’s citizenship is a losing battle, no matter how you look at it. Anyone who does it will be seen as a conspiracy theorist and a lunatic. Apparently the We the People Foundation feels they’re up to the task, since they have also repeatedly taken on the (alleged) conspiracy theorist/lunatic mantle with their previous [...]

In a way, it’s all very refreshing. Al Gore’s Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2000, Joe Lieberman, has been one of John McCain’s biggest supporters, introducing McCain at this year’s Republican convention. Meanwhile, George W. Bush’s Secretary of State and the man who introduced Bush at the 2000 Republican convention, Colin Powell, comes out for [...]

Libertarian Letter Time

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

In response to my post of a few days ago, “Why Libertarians Should Beware a Liberal Supermajority,” Chris writes:
Sure, Obama might be a socialist who ruins the health care landscape for aspiring medical doctors like myself. But, even if he’s really bad, it’ll be a different kind of bad than we’ve had the last eight [...]

Although I long ago said I’d prefer Barack Obama to any of the other Republican candidates in the field after Ron Paul, Obama has gotten scarier and scarier since he started facing off against McCain rather than Hillary. Next to Hillary, he seemed like a beacon of calm, a supremely intelligent and elegant man who [...]

Government Can Create Green Jobs!

Friday, October 17th, 2008

An interesting article from The National Review about student groups at Hofstra University in the wake of Wednesday night’s debate:
One thing the polished Miss Williams did buy into, something that seems to be gaining traction in the progressive hivemind, is the promise of “green jobs.” Senator Obama talked about green jobs and the promise of [...]

Economics Explained, By Joe the Plumber

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Leave it to Joe the Plumber to explain, essentially, the fundamental problem with many of Obama’s economic plans.
Joe the Plumber is the perfect messenger: he’s not a Wall Street banker or a lawyer or even a doctor. His name is actually Joe, and he provides an important, if un-glamourous, service: plumbing. No one becomes [...]

Are you getting as sick of hearing from these guys as I am? The worst thing to come out of each of these debates is the realization that one of these men is going to be our next President, and that’s downright scary. When they’re not attacking each other, they’re spouting nonsense.
Anyway, here’s an economist’s [...]
