I wasn’t alive when America witnessed the assassination of John F Kennedy, and was a mere toddler when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I was just three when Chappaquiddick happened. I grew up in the generation of John John, and sadly we experienced our own Kennedy tragedy. The entire Kennedy clan seems to be touched by [...]

Though you are not going to believe where else it is happening - not grave robbing this time, but general disrespect, and callous disregard. Ready? Arlington Cemetery. Yep, sad to say, but true. Thanks to CG, a faithful No Quarter reader, for this article, “Grave Offenses At Arlington National Cemetery.” [...]

I came across this article on Tuesday by Jonah Goldberg, “Day 15 of Obama’s honeymoon“: One doesn’t have to break a sweat searching for examples of the news media’s ongoing love affair with our president. In this, he is like FDR. I have to say, on some levels it was reassuring. Apparently, the [...]

Here is Fox News’s promo for this important programming. (By the way, Fox’s schedule says this program is at 10 p.m. ET, but I heard an anchor say it’s at 9 p.m. ET. Please check your TV at both times, because this isn’t the first time that Fox’s scheduling and actual programming have been [...]

That’s the number of questions Caroline Kennedy has answered in her pursuit to secure Hillary Clinton’s seat, according to THIS article in the NY Times. Want to guess how many interviews she has granted in this pursuit? Zero. How about answers to questions regarding her finances? [...]

Right now, many people believe that they will not see a woman elected president of this country in their lifetimes. The estimable Marie Cocco sums the situation up once again. One of my favorite blog writers, Ani, gives us her [...]

Oh, boy - this is quite some article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post (H/T to athy at No Quarter for this article). He really tells it like it is. I wonder if he still has a job there? Just the title alone gives it away: “A Giddy Sense of Boosterism.”

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel
It’s clear to many Democrats that a radical clique has taken control of the Party. Democratic ideals once held to be sacrosanct, including [...]

A new audio tape was released this week of John F. Kennedy at a dinner party with Toni and Ben Bradlee (of Watergate fame), journalist James M. Cannon, and Kennedy’s wife Jacqueline. The conversation was recorded shortly after Kennedy announced that he was running for president. It’s about politics, of course, but it’s [...]

Obama’s choice of Joe Biden, I suspect, will go down as one of worst political decisions in recent memory. John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin will be remembered as one of the best.
Biden reinforces Obama’s worst traits: egoism, verbosity, elitism, and D.C.-insider status.
Palin, of course, reminds us of the best of McCain: [...]

Obama’s willingness to flip-flop has earned him the moniker Backtrack Obama. He betrayed progressives by voting for the FISA legislation; he promised to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives; he equivocated on choice by saying that “mental distress” should not be a factor in abortion.
Obama’s newest flip flop was not over a matter of public policy [...]

Obama continues his Master of the Universe tour,today landing in Germany. He has a big ol’ speech planned to wow them in Germany, and to get their votes. Oh, wait - they can’t vote for him! No matter, he is bound and determined that he will get massive support there. He even went so far [...]

Tonight I have the honor of interviewing Bob Shrum. His book, No Excuses, is just out in paperback and it’s candy for the political junkie. If you love politics, you’ll love this book. I’ll be asking him about his political war stories. I also want to get his thoughts on this recent primary campaign and [...]

The Obama campaign’s idea of political courage is to run it up a flagpole and see what they can get away with. Then when it doesn’t work, pretend they weren’t really trying to do it in the first place.
Not unlike a naughty child who just threw a water balloon at teacher and [...]

All over a cartoon. A satirical cartoon at that. The one Obama didn’t care about before he cared about it. Yes, I am referring to the cover of the New Yorker which dared to depict The Emperor and Empress Obama in anything less than a devotional homage. How DARE they?!? Never mind that the cartoon [...]

In 1939, James Thurber published a short story entitled, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Standing the test of time, this story was depicted in a movie and later, in the 60s it was a short-lived TV series. The book was published through the late 70s and it remains available today.
Because of the character of [...]

Barack Obama broke with tradition when he moved the Democratic National Committee from DC to Chicago. For many of us, this move emphasized the merger of the Obama campaign with the Democratic Party. And to many of us, that merger made clear that the Democratic Party no longer belongs to the people, it belongs to [...]

Neither the main stream media nor the Democratic Party nor even the Obama campaign itself has come to terms with the damage Obama’s tactics have done to our Party. The damage was facilitated by the media and the big blogs.
Obama’s first task was controlling the media. Politicalcenter writes:
Taking their cue from totalitarian regimes, Obama developed [...]

One of the more persistent (and pernicious) memes of this campaign so far is Obama as JFK. This is an unfortunate habit of presidential contenders - to try and siphon off some JFK gloss and call it their legacy.
Yawn. I won’t go into why this happens, that’s too obvious to bother with. [...]
