09/01/2010 03:25 PM Obama’s Human Rights Disgrace The United States has refused to join the United Nations Human Rights Council since it was birthed in 2006 following the dissolving of its failed predecessor, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. The Obama Administration changed course in March 2009 and now, for the first time, has submitted a report on the status of human rights in the U.S. to the Council, setting up the country to be judged by governments like those of Cuba, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, Pakistan and Egypt. 09/01/2010 03:01 PM This Just In: Washington Post’s Milbank Admits He’s a Lefty, But… It almost sounds like the set up to a “guy walks into a bar” joke—or maybe a knock-knock joke—but the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank made an assessment of his own political ideology that can’t help but draw a laugh. 09/01/2010 01:14 PM Prime time Obama: Self-congratulatory and self-delusional On Fox News Channel’s top-rated Fox and Friends, host Gretchen Carlson would not allow the White House press secretary to do what his ilk to do best: revise history. 08/25/2010 03:52 PM The Truth about Obama’s Muslim ‘Faith’ Now that Barack Obama has decided to be for the Ground Zero mosque before being implicitly against it (perhaps), discussion about his faith has once again reached a fever pitch. To many, his stance proves he’s a Muslim, with a recent poll showing that almost 20 percent of Americans hold that opinion; to others, it just reflects a desire to be faithful to the Constitution (now, that would be change). The truth, however, is a bit more nuanced. Obama is not religiously Muslim. Culturally, though...well, that’s a different matter altogether. 08/14/2010 06:40 PM Obama Has No Policy on ‘Housing’ For Detainees Convicted by Military Tribunals After the heming and hawing by the Obama administration over whether we should bring terror suspects to trial before military commissions, Obama’s DOJ and DOD finally decided that they could. But once again we see the half-way actions of the Obama administration shining through by the fact that, even as Obama seems to agree with the Bush administration policy of military tribunals for terrorists, the president hasn’t made a single plan on what to do with any of those terrorists ‘after’ they are convicted. 08/14/2010 02:28 PM Outed! Congresswoman member of socialist group Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, D-Ohio, was listed as a member of a U.S.-based socialist organization, it has emerged.  08/12/2010 06:14 PM ‘Treasury Dept’s New Charge: Muslim Outreach??’ Is the U.S. Department of the Treasury undertaking a new role? Taking its newest press release(1) as an example, one could be excused to imagine that our Treasury Department has decided that it is now our ‘next’ Department of Muslim Outreach. 08/03/2010 02:51 PM ‘Is The Tea Party Like A Starfish, Like the Apache… Like al Qaeda?’ Politico’s Kenneth Vogel has an interesting piece(1) on a book that Tea Party activists are starting to glom onto as an administrative guidebook of sorts. The book, “The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations,"(2) is a book that explains how leaderless organizations work and can be effective. Of late tea partiers have accepted the tome as a way to explain the success of their movement as well as a way to legitimize their hold on a certain amount of power into the future. 07/13/2010 03:10 PM Congressman accused of colluding with White House Controversy over job ‘offers’ for election favors boils over again - The controversy over allegations White House officials at least as high as Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel offered two congressional candidates jobs in return for campaign favors, which apparently would violate the law, is reheating – with a claim that one of the candidates colluded with the White House on what story to tell. 07/12/2010 04:40 PM Fallen under the rule of lunatics In the past, if anyone asked whether the folks in charge in the nation’s capital were certifiable lunatics, or whether policy decisions were being made by superannuated college kids with no experience out in the real world, who apparently stayed up too late last night, smoking too much dope and listening to too much heavy metal, those questions could be safely dismissed as exaggerations for rhetorical effect.
