Yes

"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.

Obama's tax cuts in perspective--a truly visual learning experience.

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.
