Print Frank Salvato Read Full Bio Benghazi: Progressives Rewrite History in Real Time From the moment the public became aware of what can only be perceived as an act of war, perpetrated at the hands of an enemy that has officially declared war on the United States and the West, the Obama Administration--Progressives one and all--have engaged in one of their favorite tactics of political opportunism: re-writing history. In this instance, they are doing it in real time--right in front of our faces. 10 May 2013 It Doesn't Matter What Obama Knew or When He Knew It “What did the President know and when did he know it” was an appropriate question for Watergate because it was a crime of opportunity. By that, I mean it was perpetrated exclusively for political gain and literally harmed no one by having been executed. The issue of the al Qaeda attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya, is far from a crime of opportunity for the simple reason that there was loss of life. 28 Oct 2012 Which Future Do You Want? As the media pushes the cosmetic differences between the two presidential candidates, I have long said that this election is about a fundamental question: Do you want more government or less government? 28 Oct 2012 The Bully Politics of Sequester This week, many of the larger Defense Department contractors announced that, as Congress prepares to debate the sequester, they, too, are considering the moves that sequester would force them to make, -- namely, employee layoffs due to decreased federal funding to satisfy defense contracts. 4 Aug 2012 Tax the Rich or We'll Kill This Dog The “balanced deal” that Ms. Murray alludes to is a deal that would achieve progressives’ ultimate goal, expanding the gulf of the tax burden between what is perceived to be the Lower and Middle Classes and the Upper-Middle and Upper Classes. 28 Jul 2012 Where Did Syria’s Chemical Weapons Come From? As the news stories mount regarding Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s decision to move his chemical weapons,there is one thing the mainstream media is not commenting on: How Syria acquired what is reported to be one of the world’s largest arsenals of bio-chemical WMD? 14 Jul 2012 Some of What Wisconsin Means There are many in the pundit-sphere who are dissecting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s recall victory and declaring that Mr. Walker’s retention means one thing or another. Truth be told, many of their declarations hold merit as far as political science is concerned. 9 Jun 2012 Obama's Broken Promise: A Better Relationship with the World On issue after issue, whether it is US relations with China, who owns such a gigantic portion of US foreign debt that they can routinely shrug off US State Department condemnations on human rights atrocities and politically motivated oppression, or Russian President Vladimir Putin’s opulent demonization of the United States in a bid to cast himself as relevant with the Russian voters, Mr. Obama has proven to be not only ineffective on foreign policy; he has proven to be weak, thus denigrating American influence around the world and dimming the light of liberty for the oppressed globally. 2 Jun 2012 The Left’s One-Percenter Problem Among the leaders of the Progressive Movement and the Democrat Party, it is nearly impossible to identify anyone among them who isn’t in the one-percent, and that includes President Obama and, yes, Vice President Biden. Maybe that’s why his statement, “They just don’t get us,” made my head cock like a dog hearing a high-pitched noise. “Who’s us,” I thought to myself. 21 May 2012 The 'Fairness' of the US Supreme Court Progressive and Democrat pundits and operatives alike are declaring that, should Obamacare be rendered impotent, and should the SCOTUS uphold Arizona’s immigration and border protection law, it would all be the doing of Right-Wing judicial activism. While this rhetoric may be a winning strategy politically, it is, nonetheless, what Progressives and committed Liberals believe. 29 Apr 2012 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next
