Are you a Chamberlin or a Churchill, Mr. Cameron?
The annals of English history shall record you in one light or the other. You have snatched back a rudderless country out of the hands of directionless leftists – and for this, we across the Atlantic are thankful. But don’t light your cigar just yet, sir. You have failed your first test of fortitude. Prime Minister Cameron took a step toward a Chamberlainian philosophy this last week. In a chilling statement, the PM denounced the Jewish state and embraced an anti-Semitic agenda propagated by the terrorist organization and ruling Palestinian power, Hamas. Not only did Cameron condemn Israel’s completely legal blockade ...
Comparing Bush Spending to Clinton Spending
Yesterday, Jed Lewison of Daily Kos put up a post comparing Clinton's eight years of spending to Bush's eight years of spending. The post- which cited the very reputable Tax Policy Center for its budget claims- showed just how badly Bush spent compared to Clinton. According to Lewison, Clinton saved over $100 billion in his final budget, Fiscal Year 2001. I found the post interesting- not the least because Lewison cited the TPC, a partnership of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution- but also because TPC's (and, thus, Lewison's) claims are in direct contrast to what the Treasury itself shows ...
Profiles in Courage in Georgia
Originally published at The Daily Caller. I was recently speaking with one of my teachers from high school, reflecting on her summer reading assignment, JFK’s Profiles in Courage. If you have never read the book, it can be summarized quite simply in that it follows the actions of statesmen throughout the history of our country which took serious resolve and unwavering confidence. That’s not to say that these individuals who were profiled did not face fear in their hearts, fear for their jobs, and possibly fear for their lives. Fear is an emotion and it is understandable to have felt such ...
Resurgent Republicans in the Northeast
Over the last several years, the common mantra among the left (as well as some on the right), has been that New England and the Northeast are doomsday regions for Republicans. There are no Republican Representatives in New England, for example, and only three Republican Senators in the entire NorthEast. Unfortunately for liberals, this mantra has been proven premature. While the Republican resurgence- begun by Senator Brown (R-MA) and New Jersey governor Chris Christie- isn't necessarily conservative (Christie is a moderate on social issues, and Brown recently voiced support for the financial regulation bill working its way through Congress), it certainly ...
Did Obama Just Admit He Was Born In Kenya? No, No He Didn’t
Look, I'm not "birther" by any means. I really haven't paid a ton of attention to the issue. But if this video is legit, Obama admits out of his own mouth that he was born in Kenya. ie. Not a natural born citizen. Watch the first 40 seconds or so. After that, well it's up to you what you think. But I'm mainly concerned with what is coming out of the President's mouth in a WH.gov video. If the video is legit, we as a country have a problem. Being a natural born citizen as a requirement for the presidency is ...
