Volatility of the House Midterms
Aug 22, 2010
Late last week the premier polling site, FiveThirtyEight, tweeted somberly: “I don’t think people fully comprehend how scary the generic ballot numbers are for Democrats.”
The biggest sway away from Democrats is coming from independent voters.
The latest Gallup results give Republicans the broadest spread over Democrats in the history [...]

Is This What Obama Intended?
Aug 22, 2010
“There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses…now is not that time. And that’s a message that I intend to send directly to them…”
Those words were uttered by our President on January 29th of 2009. He was [...]

Restoring Honor
Aug 22, 2010
Glenn Beck says that this Saturday’s 8/28 “Restoring Honor” rally is about far more than just politics.
“This isn’t a rah-rah USA kind of thing. This is a sacred reflective spot in our nation… the Reflecting Pool,” said Beck, in an exclusive interview with Townhall.com and Townhall Magazine. “I think if you [...]

A De Facto Affirmative Action Program For Islam
Aug 22, 2010
The planned building of that mosque at Ground Zero—the story that should not and will not go away—has reopened a national wound. The in-your-face-absurdity of the whole thing is missed only by elitist politicians and those willfully blind to history, not to mention clear and [...]

No Obama is Not a Muslim, But Radical Jihadists Are
Aug 22, 2010
For all of the public polling that made news this week, the idea that one in five people think that President Obama is an active, albeit perhaps closeted, Muslim is one of pretty far-fetched ridiculousness. However it is one of the less ridiculous [...]

Why Do Feminists Attack Sarah and Not Sharia?
Aug 22, 2010
Given Islam’s enslavement of women and the Sharia erection of the Cordoba Initiative’s chief con man, Abdul Rauf, you’d think N.O.W. and their ilk would now be raising more Cain about this Ground Zero Mosque than they are about Sarah Palin.
Why should one think this? [...]

In 2005, Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., sponsored the Stolen Valor Act that made it a federal crime to lie about receiving military medals or honors from the military. Breaking the law could lead to a fine and a sentence of six months. Lying about being awarded [...]

JERUSALEM — ‘Twas a famous victory for diplomacy when, in 1991 in Madrid, Israelis and Palestinians, orchestrated by the United States, at last engaged in direct negotiations. Almost a generation later, U.S. policy has succeeded in prodding the Palestinians away from their recent insistence on “proximity [...]

Memo to the ruling class media: We are not ignorant or stupid. We’ve not forgotten Jeremiah Wright. It’s not that we don’t “know” what faith Obama subscribes to — it’s more that we don’t believe him. Or you. Sorry. Not buying.
Besides, sometimes we just like to tweak you with our [...]

Jim Wallis, the man behind the so-called “religious left” - a left wing evangelical activist who worked to get evangelical support for Obama — has been exposed as another stooge of George Soros. And he had the gall to accuse Marvin Olasky, the conservative evangelical who asked Wallis to admit his [...]
