(Bumped up from early morning.) In my earlier post, holder: obama does not decide who will be prosecuted, I wrote, “It appears Obama opened a whole can of worms with the release of these memos. Not only does he lack the authority to decide whether there will be prosecutions or not, I assume he also [...]

(bumped up by NoQuarter) Barack Obama’s mantra of change sounds eloquent on the campaign trail, but as we have pointed out repeatedly there is an enormous gulf between what he says and what he does. It is one thing, for example, to tout womens’ rights. But those exhortations ring hollow when we learn that Barack [...]

(bumped up by SusanUnPC) Leave it to Pat Lang to thoroughly skewer the myth and legend of Colin Powell. Powell is a quintessential creature of Washington–smooth talking, handsome, low-key, and relentless in the task of butt-snorkeling. Powell did not achieve what achieved by challenging Presidents and senior commanders on matters of principle. Nope. He followed [...]

I have a funny story for you – some comic relief from all of the sexism, class warfare, racism charges, defacing of property, etc. Just to give us all a it of a break two weeks before the election. But first, I do want to point out that a lot is going on AGAIN with [...]

So, let me get this straight. Obama and his followers attacked Hillary endlessly for her vote on the Iraq resolution. Obama touted his superior judgment in speaking out against the war (remember that speech he gave in Chicago? Yea, me neither.) Obama supporters blogged endlessly about Hillary and blamed HER for the war. They were [...]

Who is playing the race card now? None other than Howard Dean. He plays the race card in an National Public Radio (NPR) interview on Friday. And then quickly reversed himself with an “ahem, I didn’t mean to say that”! He had essentially called the Republican Party “a white elephant” . Dean had this to [...]

America’s racial problems are legion and of long standing. In fact, as a country, we’ve done many things to alleviate the issues, many times clumsily and without satisfaction for all. Still, there have always been people who try and find solutions no matter the current mood. But many people are saying that a vote for [...]

Re-printed from the Philadelphia Inquirer with express permission. Joseph C. Wilson IV is a retired career diplomat, a former U.S. ambassador, presidential foreign-policy adviser, and author of “The Politics of Truth” Sen. Barack Obama declared in Pennsylvania on March 27 that his foreign policy would “return” to that of George H.W. Bush and that Sens. [...]

The code words are different this time around. Instead of appealing to whites’ fears of forced integration by mentioning busing, Obama has elicited black prejudice by using terms like like hoodwinked, bamboozled, and okie-doke. Can you imagine another prominent African American politician using this language? Can you see the dignified Colin Powell using this dog-whistle? [...]

Frontline: Too Timid, Too Little, Too Late: Frontline’s “Bush’s War” on PBS Monday and Tuesday evening was a nicely put-together rehash of the top players’ trickery that led to the attack on Iraq, together with the power-grabbing, back-stabbing, and limitless incompetence of the occupation.

There are two videos here and, below the fold, the words of General Colin Powell on his courageous stand against hate speech: SECOND VIDEO:
