By Thomas Sowell (Archive) · Tuesday, May 15, 2012 When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might seem to have been news [...]
May 15, 2012 By Christopher Paslay If Barack Obama and the liberal left entered Alcoholics Anonymous because they had a drinking problem, they’d have zero chance of getting sober. They would progress through the early and middle stages of alcoholism, suffering from blackouts, personality disintegration, and withdrawal. After continued denial that their own behavior and [...]
May 15, 2012 By Jon N. Hall At the Empire State Pride Agenda’s Fall Dinner, shortly before he was elected governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo declared: I don’t want to be the governor who just proposes marriage equality. I don’t want to be the governor who lobbies for marriage equality. I don’t want to [...]
May 15, 2012 By John Griffing Over the past three years, President Obama has demonstrated his willingness to lie about anything and everything if it leads to the acquisition and retention of maximum power for himself and his cohorts. Obama follows a pattern of overloading the system with deception, making responses to every individual distortion [...]
May 15, 2012 By Jack Cashill Now that it has been established that a candidate’s teenage years help define the man to come, it might be time to take a new look at the adolescent Obama and his then-mentor, the late Frank Marshall Davis. I would guess that not one Obama voter out of one [...]
May 14, 2012 Media Bias: The Washington Post defends its Mitt Romney hit piece by claiming it didn’t collude with the Obama White House on timing. Collusion isn’t the problem. The fact that they both share the same goal is. Three years ago, former CBS News correspondent Bernie Goldberg wrote the aptly titled book “A [...]
May 14, 2012 Hypocrisy: While the president blasts Mitt Romney’s private equity successes, he happily takes private equity campaign cash. If this election becomes “the company fixer” vs. “the economy wrecker,” Obama is in big trouble. How you made your money is evil, but to get re-elected president I’m happy to take lots of cash [...]

The president can’t have it both ways on same-sex ‘marriage’ By THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Washington Times Monday, May 14, 2012 Barack Obama has been dubbed the “first gay president.” All the hype surrounding Mr. Obama’s position in favor of same-sex “marriage” may help guarantee he will be the last one for awhile. This week’s [...]
No more slow-walking Fast and Furious probe By THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Washington Times Monday, May 14, 2012 Justice has waited long enough. It’s time to pull the trigger on contempt charges against Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. for withholding documents from Congress in the Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal. Allowing further delay [...]
