  • Targeting Guns: Good News, Bad News and Insight

    1080037_low
    By Selwyn Duke

    A federal government action that would have undercut the civilian
    ammunition supply has been reversed. But since similar threats to
    Second Amendment rights lie on the horizon, we must remain ever
    vigilant. And, first and foremost, this means engaging the gun-rights
    battle on the cultural level.

    In Saul Alinsky’s book Rules for Radicals,
    people such as community agita . . . I mean, organizers are instructed
    to attack adversaries where they least expect. Alinsky acolyte Barack
    Obama takes this advice to heart, and this might explain a recently
    thwarted back-door assault on Second Amendment rights.

  • Barnewall: Where’s the Beef at AIG?

    By Marilyn Barnewall

    If the
    way Congress has mismanaged "The AIG Affair" doesn't tell you
    what a bunch of clowns represent you, nothing will. If you believe Congress
    is really trying to solve the AIG problem (which, to be totally truthful,
    Congress created) you should not read the rest of this article. It will
    make you angry.

    Yes.
    To answer a popular question, Timothy Geithner, our inept Treasury Secretary,
    had to know about the employee bonuses being paid to AIG. If he did not
    know about the bonuses, he wasn't doing his job as the head of the New
    York Federal Reserve Bank (which he was, at the time the bonus agreement
    occurred). It's this simple: If he is so naïve or dumb that he did
    not know what was happening, he has no business being Secretary of the
    Treasury for the United States of America. And, these appear to be the
    only two possibilities: Either he lied, or he is dumb and naïve.

  • Reader Email — The Fetal Position: A Prospective

    Dateline Royter’s 3/10/2011-

    In a plea for continuing funding for her research, Dr. Elita
    Desdemona (senior research coordinator at Harvard) asked President Obama this
    week to “please continue and enhance the governments funding of embryonic stem
    cell research.”

    In her 1500 page
    report, Dr. Desdemona cited, “although we have not, to this day, delivered to
    humanity a cure for cancer, diabetes or Parkinson’s disease, it is very
    important that we continue our work.”  She
    continued, “You just never know when the day may come when a discovery will be
    made that will change life on earth as we know it.  Imagine the day when there will be no
    disease, no sickness; the great minds of this world could live on.”

  • Guest Piece: The Banality of Obama

    Smoking Obama
    By Bruce Walker

    Pundits have been critiquing the new administration for its socialism, for its willful ignorance of foreign policy, for its puerile missteps, but the salient fact of the Obama Presidency is its banality.  He who promised change has dredged up the failed nostrums of the past as if they were something new and fresh.  In fact, the ordinariness, the dullness, the lifelessness of the Obama Administration is obvious.

  • Climate Change Con: Refuting Al Gore
    http://youtube.com/v/gOKH72yWMd8
    This is a great video refuting the rank propaganda belched out by Al Gore. It features prominent climate scientists who aren't peddling an agenda so they can capture government grants. As for Gore, he quite simply is a liar.

  • Audio Commentary: The Meghan McCain Catfight

    This is the first of what may become a regular feature at my site: Audio snap commentary.  For you folks who love the written word, don’t worry, this doesn’t mean I’m abandoning the pen.  But variety is the spice of Web life.  Let me know what you thnk.

    American Politician
    By Selwyn Duke

    Most of us place politicians
    down at the level of used-car salesmen, personal injury lawyers and Hollywood
    actors.  In fact, they’re much like
    actors, only, their acting is generally a bit better.  But we tend to miss the point about our
    leaders.  The problem with politicians is
    that they’re trying to please us.

  • Obama Gunning for the Second Amendment

    Bullets on Constitution
    By Selwyn Duke

    This will seem like a strange way to open a piece of commentary, but the gun owners who voted for Barack Obama believing he respected Second Amendment rights remind me of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.  Specifically, I think of the scene from "The Return of the Pink Panther" in which Clouseau was getting a real dressing down from his superior, Chief Inspector Dreyfus.  The issue was that Clouseau had naively stood by talking to a "blind" organ grinder outside a bank while the institution was being robbed.  After Dreyfus pointed out that the organ grinder was the lookout for the thieves and Clouseau said that such a thing was impossible because the beggar was blind, Dreyfus asked how Clouseau knew this.  Clouseau replied, "He told me so."

  • Why 2010 Looks Good

    376550_blog
    By Bruce Walker

    Pundits have already begun
    looking ahead to the 2010 midterm elections.  Is Obama like Clinton? 
    Is there a political agitator like Newt Gingrich on the Republican side? 
    Will the series of Obama goofs in cabinet appointments, the tension within the
    Democrat Party, and a downturn in the economy lead to massive voter
    dissatisfaction in 2010?  In some ways 2010 may look like 1994, but
    Republican hopes in 2010 rest less on how it resembles 1994 than in how it does
    not.  Begin with the basics.
