As we approach the nine year anniversary of our involvement in Afghanistan it may be time to reassess our commitment to nation building there. Immediately after 9/11 I believe almost all Americans were in agreement that we needed to be
As the mainstream media trips over itself to analyze and re-analyze the Shirley Sherrod controversy, Andrew Breitbart is under fire for ostensibly unethical behavior. Andrew is more than capable of defending himself, but I wanted to offer a few quick

Wow. What an amazing transformation America saw across the mainstream media spectrum yesterday. Suddenly their collective righteous indignation-gene kicked in over false charges of racism. The real question is, how long will this last? I’m guessing right up until it’s
JournoList hit number two from the Daily Caller gives us this far-from-shocking revelation: JournoListers hate Fox News. Highlights below. The Daily Caller has also published a handful of excerpts from the JournoList, many of which have been redacted. One major
Context is everything. As the Left (including the NAACP) has tried to brand the Tea Party movement as ‘racists’ over the last year, they’ve engaged in racial politics at their worst using the tactics of Saul Alinsky to try to
“[Roger] Ailes understands that his job is to build a tribal identity, not a news organization. You can’t hurt Fox by saying it gets it wrong, if Ailes just uses the criticism to deepen the tribal identity.”
From Politico: Agriculture Department spokesman Chris Mather said Sherrod was let go because of what she said in March that was captured on the videotape, not due to her actions in regard to the farmer two decades ago. “She was
Number three on our list almost violates the criteria that I set up in the first piece I wrote for this series. I said then that denizens of the Old Media that are too much a “cartoon of journalism” would
Shirley Sherrod defended herself today from charges of racism stemming from the video released on Big Government yesterday. The video showed Ms Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaking at an NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia. Ms Sherrod,
JournoList archives revealed by Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller this morning are remarkably similar to what I imagined they would be: a bunch of — how did the boss put it? Oh, yes — insufferable assholes conniving, colluding and more than
That sound you hear is the White House’s credibility bubble bursting. CBS reported last week that 74 percent of Americans believe the Obama stimulus either damaged the economy or had no effect. The wisdom of the crowd turns out to
Sometimes you hate being right. In chapter 4 of our book, The Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency, we make the point that Team Obama would try to pull a fast one when it
William Arkin along with Dana Priest just released an epic bit of hype and marketing called Top Secret America in the Washington Post. Arkin is relatively undistinguished as a journalist, but he did have one brush with notoriety when he
The media are gathered in the White House press room expecting another session kicking the crap out of feckless Robert Gibbs. The lights dim and several disco balls descend from the ceiling while tendrils of smoke snake across the front
At Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony on the side of a new battery manufacturing plant being built in Holland, Michigan President Obama proved yet again that his smashmouth politics knows no limits. Using $150 million of Obama’s “stimulus” bill money, Compact Power
On July 14, 2010, Cybercast News Service (CNS) reported that the health care reform legislation Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010 will soon employ tax-payer funds to pay for abortions in Pennsylvania. According to CNS, the “Health and
With a bad-blood, confidence-destroying battle royale going on between Team Obama and business, you would think a highly publicized White House jobs summit would have produced some kind of positive announcement that gives a nod to the business point of
The United States never was intended to be a democracy, but rather a compound republic delegating clearly enumerated powers to the federal government and creating a masterfully designed system of checks and balances amongst its three branches meant to limit
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has falsely accused the Tea Party of having ties to the Ku Klux Klan. Speaking at the NAACP convention, she said: “All those who wore sheets a long time ago lifted them off to wear
As a co-founder of the Quincy Tea Party I was appalled at the lack of social responsibility and restraint Mr. Jealous displayed in his remarks regarding the Tea Party Movement. I found myself becoming increasingly irritated when he began his
Maybe I’m deaf and blind, but two weeks after a voting records examination report showed Minnesota Senator Al Franken was probably elected by felons who were illegally voting in that state’s 2008 general election, I’ve yet to come across even
Obama’s Con-Man-in-Chief, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, has told a reporter, to say the least implausibly, that he has not “paid any attention” to former Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams’s shocking (and corroborated) revelations that the president’s
It’s well understood that the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are far-left organizations. While many of their members don’t pay much attention to the tactics and vitriol of the teachers unions, virtually every single public school
Today’s case study in Newsweek’s shameless bias disguised as news reporting comes via David A. Graham’s article “The New Black Panther Party Is the New ACORN” published yesterday. It begins with this: “As voter intimidation exercises go, it wasn’t much.”
