Press Secretary Robert Gibbs showing his maturity

here for blog by Robert Gardner of the UK Telegraph Robert Gibbs should apologize

example: Increasingly, millions of Americans are turning to online UK news websites for cutting edge reports on American politics and U.S. foreign policy that the mainstream media refuses to cover in the States, especially if it is unflattering to the Obama White House.

example: Congratulations Gibbs - you've just made an enemy out of the entire British media, quite an achievement for the man in charge of selling the President's message.

Obama as Narcissus and the Mainstream Media as Echo

here for Narcissus and Echo: Obama and the Mainstream Media Robert B. Johnson for The American Thinker

example: It is troubling that our president is a pathological narcissist caught up in the thought patterns of Darwin, Marx, and Alinsky. Even more troubling is the fact that the Mainstream Media (MSM), suffering from an Obama-inspired narcosis, shirks its duty, refusing to publish or even explore any aspect of Obama's dark side.

another example: Obama may be clever, as all Narcissists are, but he is not an enlightened man. The enlightened man seeks truth. Obama craves adulation, his essential narcissistic supply. His cleverness and charm operate in the service of his pathology's foremost commandment: See me in the same grandiose way I see myself.

The emasculation of the United States

here for Limp Legacy of the Wet and Weak by Wesley Pruden for the Washington Times.

example: The president is the master of demographic politics, playing the race card in a way that no one else could. Miss Sotomayor was presented not first as a jurist distinguished by learning and accomplishment, but as a Latina, a woman of empathy and delicate sensibility. He's counting on male gallantry, if not male timidity, to carry the day. (Emphasis mine.)

another example: We won't need judges, just social workers damp with empathy.

I like Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney: brutal, uncompromising, brilliant by Nile Gardiner for the [UK] Telegraph

sample: He's dominated much of the news with his barnstorming defence of the previous administration's counter-terrorism strategy, and completely overshadowed President Obama's weak-kneed and exceedingly dull speech at the National Archives

Obama's compulsive self-referential ego

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/016/532tzlcn.asp

But Enough About Me by William Kristol for The Weekly Standard

sample:
Doesn't Obama's self-regard sometimes seem greater than his regard for the position he occupies? Does he understand that the office of the presidency is bigger--much bigger--than he is? Or does Obama think of the presidency primarily as a vessel through which to exercise his political gifts and pursue his personal achievements?

Slick Willy, Slick Barry--some powerful comparisons

here
for Slick Barry by Bruce Walker for The American Thinker

an example:

Watch how "Barry" behaves. Listen to his words. Ignore the inflection in his voice, his body language, his facial expressions, the fawning media, and all the distractions of meaning: listen to his words. He says nothing, just as Bill Clinton said nothing, and if you aren't really paying attention, it sounds good.

A very good, I think, critique of contemporary aetheism.

for No God, No Reason, Just Whining by Charlotte Allen for the Los Angeles Times



"My problem with atheists is their tiresome -- and way old -- insistence that they are being oppressed and their fixation with the fine points of Christianity."

Ann Coulter

Pretty typical for Ann Coulter--outrageous, wicked, funny and correct.

"As Pope Benedict XVI has so presciently warned:
Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes, not divine, but demonic."

An important expose of the leftest agenda

here for Kyle Anne Shriver's Barack Obama, the Quintessential Liberal Fascist for The American Thinker

For 8 years the left has been hurling the word fascist at Bush and the right. This frightening article puts the word fascist right back where it belongs--on the left and as a mantle on Barack Obama's shoulders.

...American left-wing ideologues have managed to dissociate themselves from all the horrors of fascism with a "brilliant rhetorical maneuver." They've done it by "claiming that their opponents are the fascists."

Obama's tax cuts in perspective

A friend sent this to me. It is worth the 1 1/2 minute it takes to view it.

Wanda Sykes/Barak Obama

Yes, conservative media are predictably piling on Wanda Sykes for her witless, mean-spirited hope that Rush Limbaugh would die of kidney failure. I couldn't agree with the conservative commentators more. But let's not forget for one moment that Barak Obama sat just to her right, right where the camera could catch him laughing at the very unfunny joke. And all his spokesman could comment on today was not his boss or Sykes but on the inappropriateness trying to make funnies out of 911. (I agree of course, but that wasn't the point.)

It is true that Rush can be merciless when he has somebody (who he considers to be a fool) in his sites. But he has never, ever wished a miserable death upon anyone, let alone laughed about it.

From Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online: Syke's schtick was a cliche wrapped in a lefty talking point.

The "dangerous" far right

The Notional Dangers of the Fictional Far Right by Bruce Walker for the American Thinker

The word notional was new to me so I looked it up. Some synonyms would be theoretical, speculative, imaginary, fanciful.

This article outlines 10 precepts of conservatism and asks the reader to judge just how dangerous they are. His thesis is that conservatism is exactly the opposite of the accusations that are mindlessly thrown at it.

A great line from Mark Steyn

A fabulous line from Mark Steyn:

Meanwhile, over at the other tent (the left) they celebrate diversity with a ruthless single mindedness.

The betrayal of its purposes by the mainstream media.

A short post about the obvious prostitution and demise--not of the Republican party--but of the mainstream media who so obviously have exchanged reporting the news for manipulating it for their leftist agenda.

Here for Glass Houses by Dana Perino for National Review

I like Ann Coulter!

A glimpse into one of the greatest minds and wits on the right. The left despise her, which means, like Rush, she is effective. Outrageous, yes. Funny, yes! I have learned a great deal by reading her.

This is written by a gay man who is conservative (in Hollywood). His criticism of the Obama worshipers is right on.

A President Who Hates His Country

Not sure I can go everywhere this writer goes but the central point rings true to me. And I do not understand why a president would do such things.

A sampling of her points:
...multicultural trendiness is now a cynical cover for moral laxity...

LOCAL CONSERVATIVE TALKS SHOWS

LOCAL CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOWS

I have listened to all of them at one time or another and I continue to listen to some on a regular basis. (I slowly discovered conservative talk radio over many months a few years ago as I was rejecting most news media and hunting for something more fair.) Those marked with an * strike me as a good balance between information, entertainment and fairness. Yes, I am aware that a couple of them are “flashpoints” for those who hate conservatism. I have also learned, though, not only to trust what they say but also to recognize and appreciate (at least those with the *) a good heartedness unrecognized by their detractors. I have stayed with them because what they say seems to me to be truth, full of common sense and care for the everyday person.
