Why Democrats Are Kicking the Clintons to the Curb
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 22, 2008
Hillary Clinton's recent primary losses to Barack Obama may say as much about Democrats' desires to be done with the Clintons as they do about the cult of personality that is Obama.Some say Hillary is now paying for the sins of her husband. I agree that may be true to some degree, but in many cases she was an accomplice to those sins and has only herself to blame. I have wondered for some...

Beware What You Wish For
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 13, 2008
A century ago, actually about 26 years ago, the powers in the Democratic Party decided it was time to take back control of the nominating process from the often derided crazies who had been leading the Party straight down the tubes with their choices of McGovern and Carter. Of course, Carter did win, but that was in 1976.By 1982, when the Democrats were in full swing rewriting the rules, all...

A Modest Sacrifice for the Climate
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 17, 2008
Which 88 per cent of the economy would my reader most like to kiss goodbye?I ask this question only as a practical matter, after reading the summary of a Japanese study on the economic implications of the "global warming" fraud. Noting the goal, "seriously" stated by the Group of Eight, to cut world CO2 emissions in half by the year 2050, a couple of techies in Japan (Norichika Kanie of the Tokyo...

Five Questions about Shootings at Universities
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 19, 2008
Question 1: Why are murderers always counted in the victims tally? The day after the mass murder of students at Northern Illinois University (NIU), the headline in the closest major newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, was: "6 Dead in NIU Shooting." "6 dead" included the murderer. Why wasn't the headline "5 killed at NIU"? It is nothing less than moronic that the media routinely lump...

The Future of the Imperial Presidency
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 21, 2008
After the United States won its independence from Britain, some soldiers had the idea that America should have a king of its own -- namely George Washington, their commander. Washington promptly scotched the idea. But if he were to see some of the powers asserted by his successors, he might wonder why he bothered. Few presidents have interpreted their authority more broadly than George...

NAFTA Gets a Bum Rap
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 21, 2008
"NAFTA bad" has become Democratic shorthand to explain the misery spreading through America's industrial heartland. Barack Obama threw this punch at Hillary Clinton: "She says, well, speeches don't put food on the table. Well, you know what? NAFTA didn't put food on the table in Youngstown, either." He was trying to tie her to Bill Clinton's role in pushing the North...

Obama the Messiah of Generation Narcissism
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 22, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Much has been made of the religious tenor of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Reports of women weeping and swooning -- even of an audience applauding when The One cleared his proboscis (blew his nose for you mortals) -- have become frequent events in the heavenly realm of Obi-Wan Obama. His rhetoric, meanwhile, drips with hints of resurrection, redemption and...

Hard to Attack Obama's American Themes
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 24, 2008
SAN DIEGO -- One of the things Barack Obama has going for him is that he is up against adversaries who don't have the faintest idea about how to attack him. And, no, it's not because African-Americans who run for president have a layer of Teflon. That's absurd. It wasn't true for Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun, Alan Keyes or Al Sharpton. And it isn't true...

Obama's Appeal Depends on Your Definition of Change
via RealClearPolitics - Articles by (author unknown) on February 25, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) continues to promise change and stress his ability to unite Americans. It's a feel-good campaign built on soaring rhetoric and good intentions.Pardon me if all of the fawning from the national media, and the endorsements from Caroline Kennedy and Garrison Keillor, leave me less than convinced that he can bridge the deep divide that separates Americans.Withdrawing...
