Obama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concerns

Remember how Obama recently waived new ozone regulations at the EPA because they were too costly? Well, it seems that the Obama administration is would rather make people with Asthma cough up money than let them make a surely inconsequential contribution to depleting the ozone layer:

Questions Arise About Partisan Documents

During the 2008 election, former Representative Robert Wexler grandiously assured pro-Israel voters there was "no doubt" Obama and Netanyahu would "get along very well." After the exact opposite happened, culminating in the president's "past Israeli concessions don t matter any more" 1967 borders speech, Wexler took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to insist Obama was being horribly misunderstood.

It’s Over for Barack Obama

It must really suck to be a Progressive right now. Obama has collapsed on the Bush tax cuts, the debt ceiling, expanded the war in Afghanistan, said 'never mind' to his promise to close Gitmo, went to war against Libya without congressional authorization or UN resolution, and retracted several key environmental regulations while signaling that he will approve the Keystone pipeline. Progressives are starting to notice.

Reagan’s Growth Lesson for Obama

The difference in the Obama and Reagan policy approaches stems from diametrically opposed economic philosophies, which in turn stem from different life experiences: Mr. Reagan spent 34 years in the private sector, including time as the head of a labor union, prior to becoming governor of California in 1966. But Mr. Obama spent only his first year out of college in the private sector -- during which he wrote his mother that he felt as though he had "joined the enemy" -- before heading into non-profit "community organizing," a vacuous descriptor of an undefined profession involving political activism in which the main pursuit consists of procuring redistributive transfer payments from government.

Kidnapping Dr. King

Martin Luther King, Jr., a man whom entire generations have come to revere for his selflessness and his bold vision that helped overcome centuries of unjustified discrimination, had his noble life turned into a ten-minute commercial for massive political unionization and class war against the successful. And emceeing a portion of this travesty was none other than his son and namesake, Martin Luther King III.

How Nixon Created Obama

As Matt Patterson pointed out in these pages, Obama is the Affirmative Action President. He was elected to make up for America's never-ending guilt about black folks. That obsessional guilt trip works so well that it's landed us in racial socialism, also called affirmative action. Marxism whips up resentments of the poor against the rich -- but in fact it empowers only the left. Well, racial socialism does the same thing. It whips up "people of color" against evil palefaces in order to empower the left. It's the Ku Klux Klan in new sheets.

Perry’s Problematic Pals

Texas Governor Rick Perry announced Saturday that he is going to seek the Republican nomination for President, and in his speech declaring his candidacy, he sounded great: "we reject this President's unbridled fixation on taking more money out of the wallets and pocketbooks of American families and employers and giving it to a central government," Perry said. "'Spreading the wealth' punishes success while setting America on course to greater dependency on government. Washington's insatiable desire to spend our children's inheritance on failed 'stimulus' plans and other misguided economic theories have given us record debt and left us with far too many unemployed."

Palestinian Statehood Conquest disguised as Liberation

First they invaded; five Arab armies, from Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq all descended. Israel was a state newly formed of a small core of native Sabras from the first five Aliyas along with the battered survivors of the Holocaust and a small cadre of American and British WWII veteran volunteers. After two years of desperate fighting and a cumulative loss to Israel of over one and a half percent of its population, the conflicted ended in a stalemate, with Israel holding a swath of land measuring 9 miles in width at its narrowest, and 71 miles at its broadest, extending 263 miles from the Lebanon border in the north through the Negev Desert in the south.

Academic Freedom: Not if You’re a Conservative – or a Koch

Florida State University (FSU) President Barron recently sent a letter to the Faculty Senate Committee asking the body to review the Koch Foundation agreement with the university and its implementation. The final report, which was released last week, went beyond the scope of Barron s request and examined other donors agreements and decisions made by the economics department at FSU. The results of that analysis have been repeatedly confused with the details of the memorandum of understanding with the Koch Foundation as proven by an article published by Inside Higher Ed.

Obama Redefining ‘Poverty’

What does it mean to be poor in America today? For typical "poor" households -- as defined by the government -- it means cable television, two color television sets, and two or more cars. As for housing, it means living in air-conditioned comfort -- in decent accommodations with even more space than "average" Europeans have. (Not poor Europeans, to be sure, but "average" Europeans.) Moreover, most "poor" Americans get the medical care they need, and they eat enough -- in fact, they eat too much.

Slouching toward tyranny

For quite some time now the nation has witnessed the gradual erosion of freedom in this 'land of the free and hope of the brave.' During the era of the Progressives during the late 1800s and early 1900s we saw the first vestiges of this gradual erosion, and citizens began 'slouching toward tyranny' at first almost imperceptibly but later morphing into the fast-track we see today, particularly within the last 3 years.

Senate Seeks to Create Caesar

While all of America is distracted and focused on the death of Osama bin Laden, our President and his minions have been fast at work laying the groundwork for S. 679: Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 to speed through the Senate and then make its way into the House and then to the President to sign. Yes, the other hand is quickly forming into a dictatorial fist that is about to smash our Constitution.

It’s not about the birth certificate but the Constitution

In the brief time since Barack Obama released his long form birth certificate on Wednesday, much has been made over the fact that the birthers have been proved wrong and the issue, thus, will now go away. While some who have been labeled as birthers have, indeed, focused exclusively on the birth certificate, the issue has nothing to do with whether or not Obama was born in Hawaii.

Conan the Campaigner

Even liberals admit that Obama is not much at the job of governance. When in Washington, he leaves governance to leaders in Congress, as he did to Reid and Pelosi in the first years of this presidency. Or else he flounders about, shifting from one position to another trying to find something that works, or he morphs into the churlish scorn whose unpleasant side comes out when he doesn't get his way.
