Tuned-out Presidents
Somewhere around early 2006, the nation tuned out George W. Bush for a variety of reasons, some warranted, but many not. Continue reading “Tuning Out a President”

The Obama Foreign Policy
by Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online
The 2012 election will hinge on the economy, not on US foreign policy, unless there is a major overseas crisis — an Israeli attack on Iran, an Iranian detonation of a nuclear weapon, a Middle East war, a North Korean attack, or something of that sort. Continue reading “The Obama Foreign Policy”
What Romney Needs to Do
by Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online
About half the country disapproves of the job the president is doing. Most Americans think he has not handled the economy well. Yet a majority also believe that the tough times are still George W. Bush’s legacy, and, further, that Mitt Romney would not necessarily do any better a job than has Obama. Continue reading “What Romney Needs to Do”
Supreme Court Hypocrisies
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services
Until last week, Chief Justice John Roberts was vilified as the leader of a conservative judicial cabal poised to destroy the Obama presidency by overturning the federal takeover of healthcare. But with his unexpected affirmation, Roberts suddenly was lauded as the new Earl Warren — an “evolving” conservative who at last saw the logic of liberal big government. Continue reading “Supreme Court Hypocrisies”
Good News–What Good News?

I have a confession to make: I don’t quite understand the jubilation among the conservative-Republican forces during the last two months of the Obama crack-up, and here, unfortunately, is why: Continue reading “Good News–What Good News?”
Get Ready For More Charges of Racism
by Bruce Thornton
FrontPage Magazine
The implosion of the Obama administration will create more and more desperate narratives on the part of progressives as we head toward the November election. With no record of achievement to run on, Obama must try to misdirect voters by shifting blame elsewhere: so far George Bush, the Eurozone crisis, the Japanese tsunami, even ATMs have all been fingered as the cause of our sluggish economic growth and high unemployment. Continue reading “Get Ready For More Charges of Racism”
Is the Country Unraveling?

The Thrill Is Gone
The last thirty days have made it clear that Barack Obama is not going to win the 2012 election by a substantial margin. The polls still show the race near dead even with over five months, and all sorts of unforeseen events, to come. But after the Obama meltdown of April and May, I don’t think he in any way resembles the mysterious Pied Piper figure of 2008, who mesmerized and then marched the American people over the cliff. Continue reading “Is the Country Unraveling?”
‘Germany May Destroy Europe for the Third Time’–Really?

NRO’s The Corner
In open worries that the EU disaster may spread to the US and thereby endanger the reelection of Barack Obama, campaign consultant Bob Shrum recently wrote: Continue reading “‘Germany May Destroy Europe for the Third Time’–Really?”
Legal Illegal Immigration
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services
President Obama recently issued an edict exempting an estimated 800,000 to 1 million illegal aliens from the consequences of federal immigration law. Ostensibly that blanket amnesty applies to those who arrived before the age of 16 and are younger than 30; who are in, or graduated from, high school or have served in the military; and who have not been convicted of a felony or multiple misdemeanors. Continue reading “Legal Illegal Immigration”
The Evils of the Muslim Brotherhood

Investigative Project on Terrorism
Egypt’s longtime banned Muslim Brotherhood — the parent organization of nearly every subsequent Islamist movement, including al Qaeda — has just won the nation’s presidency, in the name of its candidate, Muhammad Morsi. Continue reading “The Evils of the Muslim Brotherhood”
