Are there any industries that Barack Obama won't consider nationalizing?

More than half of Democrats in a recent Gallup poll had a positive image of socialism. Over one-third of all Americans (36%) did. What gives? Are left-liberal mainstream media and the nation's educators putting us on the road to Professor Hayek's serfdom? Just when you think Democrats might get their imperious ways with national health insurance and imposing other Big Government excesses, along comes Republican Scott Brown. Against all political odds, he wins a special election in the bluest of blue states. It's the political upset of the decade. Just in time, too. A belated review of historian Mark Moyar's remarkable book, "Forsaken Triumph," retelling how a flawed war strategy coupled with anti-war news media sunk the sovereign Republic of Vietnam. Such as historical movers and shakers, modern tea party-goers, truth-telling "swift boaters," et al. The Minnesota humorist is on the warpath again, oozing his usual hate, attacking Republicans as no less than murderers. Why is this not surprising? Reporter Daryl Fears made up a quote and attributed it to James O'Keefe. How do you think the Post acknowledged the fabrication? When their ideological allies' misdeeds are exposed, the liberal media rush to their defense. They vilify truth-tellers, investigate 'em, cry racism, and cuss a right-wing conspiracy. It's all soo very predictable. The Fourth Estate is failing us. Get to 'em while they're young is the underlying strategy. Parallels between Albert Camus' The Fall and the Chappaquiddick incident are eerie and irresistible. More than a star-studded music festival, it was a defining moment in our nation's history. Today a museum marks the spot, courtesy of an earmark from Senator Hillary Clinton, and a totem pole pays tribute to three dead rock 'n roll legends who played there — Hendrix, Joplin, and Garcia. Simple Irony never had it so good, not even subliminally. Forty years ago Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy (D-MA) attended a funeral for a 28-year-old Pennsylvania woman. Her death is eerily unremarked, mostly unremembered today, at least in mainstream media. Yet the story left untold is the tragic stuff of a Joseph Conrad novel. Gag writer, off-beat comedian, a parody of himself, is declared winner of a Senate race. Minnesotans ought to hang their heads in shame. The fault lies not in the stars, but in themselves. And mud-slinging pays off for the Saturday Night Live star. Pulitzer Prize-winning critic James Agee observed long ago that journalism is "complacent to its own delusion…that it is telling the truth." Indeed. The moppets now in charge don't "get it." Singing "Kumbaya" with our enemies on a mountaintop somewhere is their dream. Why? The Left and its media allies fear the prospect of Sarah Palin in the White House. So they pile on, and on . . . After seven years in a California prison, the would-be LAPD squad car bomber comes home in dead silence to her native Minnesota. Part 2 of 2: Minnesotans were duped by a foul-mouthed "Saturday Night Live" comic and gag writer in one of the nastiest political campaigns in state history. The issue is still in doubt. Part 1 of 2: How the zany Saturday Night Live comic pulled it off, if he did, to become the junior senator from Minnesota. It boggles the mind. Generation Y's brazen disregard for books and learning portends dismal implications for the nation's intellectual future. A review of Mark Bauerlein's The Dumbest Generation. With help from state officialdom and local courts, Al Franken's theft of an election is being carried off unabashedly in full view. 'Tis a pity. Don't look now, but a stolen election is very much in prospect. An 18-year old freshman is beat up for her political views and called a racist. Why? She is wearing a McCain-Palin campaign button. Have Minnesotans lost all common sense, their sense of decency? |
