A New Kind of Politician Obama

Posted on September 18, 2008
A New Kind of Politician Obama plays the "race card" in Spanish-language ad that distorts statements by Rush Limbaugh. Obama campaign attempts to restrict free speech. Obama supporters hack into Palin's personal e-mails.

Most people alive today weren't aborted Which is why abortion supporters aren't confronted by the victims of abortion. Gianna Jessen is the rare exception. [Via Army of Martyrs]

Talker v. Doer Like giving to

Posted on September 17, 2008
Talker v. Doer Like giving to charity, it appears that Democrats are not quite as committed to equal pay for equal work as Republican: Rogers points to Senate Records showing that women working in Sen. Obama's senate office were paid an average of $9,000 less than men...

The Swing Set Catholics support McCain 59% to 36%. That's an impressive statistic and may explain McCain's surprising strenth in the Northeast.

The Shape of Things to Come Sharia

Posted on September 15, 2008
The Shape of Things to Come Sharia courts established in England. They are being set up under the rubric of "arbitration", but the novelty is the application of foreign legal principles to a sub-community of the English people. Not good.

Every time a liberal gives to charity

Posted on September 13, 2008
Every time a liberal gives to charity an angel gets his wings What is it about liberals and charitable giving? Do they think that giving to charity amounts to extracting quarters from their flesh? It is absolutely amazing that every time some liberal presidential contenders opens up their tax records, we find out that they are miserly skin flings...

The Real Palin Interview It is

Posted on September 13, 2008
The Real Palin Interview It is amazing how much of the "good stuff" ABC decided to edit from the Palin interview. It's almost like they wanted to distort her words or something.

Great Moments in NYT "Reporting" In

Posted on September 13, 2008
Great Moments in NYT "Reporting" In an op-ed essay masquerading as a news article, the NYT reports: Mr. Obama has also been accused of distortions, but this week Mr. McCain has found himself under particularly heavy fire for a pair of headline-grabbing attacks...

"War Against the Normal" I've

Posted on September 13, 2008
"War Against the Normal" I've noticed that a meme is developing that describes the obsession by the Left with Governor Palin's five children, her son Trig, her daughter's pregnancy and her religious commitments as "the War against the Normal." James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal, for example, writes about Charles Gibson's omission of Palin's request that we "pray that" our serviceman are

How niggardly of those Republicans Vox

Posted on September 11, 2008
How niggardly of those Republicans Vox Day summarizes the inanity of the Sarah Palin "lipstick on a pig" kerfuffle thus: It is unbelievable how right-wing bloggers have spent the last 24 hours chucking spears at Senator Obama when he was doing nothing more than calling a spade a spade the other day while attacking those Republican blackguards attempting to carjack his message of change...

Lest We Forget 7 years gone by. It

Posted on September 11, 2008
Lest We Forget 7 years gone by. It doesn't seem possible for time to pass this quickly. Thank God, the nightmares that were contemplated that day and the next - pocket nukes being set off in American cities - haven't occurred, and, please God, that we never see that day...

Least Common Denominator Alright,

Posted on September 10, 2008
Least Common Denominator Alright, I am more than willing to chalk up the "lipstick on a pig" statement as a fairly innocuous turn of phrase, but what the hey...isn't it weird that the same person gets into a lot trouble with sneaky double-intendres that make you wonder about his general maturity level...

Ensoulment Just Thomism observes

Posted on September 10, 2008
Ensoulment Just Thomism observes "Once every four years or so we hear spirited defenses of 13th century embryology." What a great line. His observations about the foolishness of relying on 13th Century scientific observations for one's moral principle is dead-on, and is something that St...

World doesn't end, minorities and

Posted on September 10, 2008
World doesn't end, minorities and women most affected... Contrary to warnings on Monday, the world's largest accelerator experiment did not cast off mini-black holes, thereby sucking the world into gravitational limbo. Well, there's always next time.

Lipstick on a Pig Silly controversy,

Posted on September 10, 2008
Lipstick on a Pig Silly controversy, but well-deserved from the people who brought us the "macaca" controversy and invisible racist code words. I agree with these comments posted by Andy McCarthy on NRO: Yuval, I agree that Roger strikes the right note, as usual...

Media Bias Chris Matthews and

Posted on September 08, 2008
Media Bias Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann may be out as "news" anchors. The NYT reports: MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channel?s coverage of the election...

Posted on September 08, 2008
McCain leads Obama 54% to 44% among likely voters USA Today reports: In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote.

An example of the "Roe Effect" After

Posted on September 08, 2008
An example of the "Roe Effect" After all, if you're alive, it's likely that you weren't aborted, and if you weren't aborted, it is likely that you're parents were socially conservative. How else to explain this truly exceptional response to some fairly ordinary "transgressive" behavior at the MTV awards: But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have

Answers that Question If you ask

Posted on September 08, 2008
Answers that Question If you ask a bunch of people who think they are exceptionally brighter and more compassionate and independent than the rest of us what they think about Sarah Palin, pretty quickly you've got a demonstration of sexist chauvinism that would make a group of socially-backwood teenage males look deep by comparison...

The Faith-Based Democrat Party Obama

Posted on September 08, 2008
The Faith-Based Democrat Party Obama and Biden are doing the abortion dance, trying to prove that they don't personally hate babies but embrace those who do. WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday that he was probably too flip when he said it was "above my pay grade" to answer a question about when is a baby entitled to human rights...

Holding Paper Glen Reynolds points

Posted on September 08, 2008
Holding Paper Glen Reynolds points out: WHEN SARAH PALIN MISSPEAKS ON SOMETHING and the press jumps on it -- as will happen -- just remember this slip from Obama, which will probably get a lot less attention. Everybody misspeaks, which is why I thought the "Bushism" and "Kerryism" features from Slate were dumb...

Dispatch from the Porn Belt New

Posted on September 08, 2008
Dispatch from the Porn Belt New York Times' online columnist Judith Warner offers yet another example of the baby-hating left: Why does this woman ? who to some of us seems as fake as they can come, with her delicate infant son hauled out night after night under the klieg lights and her pregnant teenage daughter shamelessly instrumentalized for political purposes ? deserve, to a unique extent

Another Dispatch from the Porn

Posted on September 07, 2008
Another Dispatch from the Porn Belt Bill Maher does his "bit" against Governor Palin. It's not very noteworthy - or funny - except the last part his schtick is revealing: he refers to Trig Palin repeatedly as "it" and mocks the size of her family, as if having five children was as bizarre as killing children to avoid the indignity of shopping at Walmart...

Sally Quinn Apologizes Newsbusters

Posted on September 06, 2008
Sally Quinn Apologizes Newsbusters have the story. But she denies the charge of arrogance and elitism. Ridiculous. SALLY QUINN: You pointed out the other night that you thought I was being unfair and that I had judged her before I heard her speak and that I knew anything about her and I think you were right...

Dispatch from the Porn Belt The

Posted on September 05, 2008
Dispatch from the Porn Belt The naked ugly elitism of liberalism is on full display in this Marty Peretz post. He writes: Let's face the truth: If Bristol were Joe Biden's daughter or, worse yet, Barcak Obama's, the epithet "slut" would be on everyone's tongue in St...

Trust Bandits This essay by Spengler

Posted on September 05, 2008
Trust Bandits This essay by Spengler echoes the theme of Jennifer Robach Morse's excellent "Love and Economics" which pointed out the connection between divorce and sociopathy, abandonment and the development of a generation of "trust bandits" who do not trust anyone but play off the trust that others have...

Elitists are Dumb The Question

Posted on September 05, 2008
Elitists are Dumb The Question at the Washington Post's "On Faith" page from Sally Quinn and Jon Meachamon is: Women are not allowed to become clergy in many conservative religious groups. Is it hypocritical to think that a woman can lead a nation and not a congregation? Posted by Sally Quinn and Jon Meachamon September 3, 2008 3:54 AM Which just goes to show how much less they understand

Life Robert Novak on his brain

Posted on September 05, 2008
Life Robert Novak on his brain cancer. I liked Novaks's column. He points out the gracefulness and compassion he received from people who he had classed as his political enemies, including Ted Kennedy and his wife. He also points out the sad, pathetic, inwardness of those who can't let go of their politics when life happens...

Things I?ve learned about Calvinism Pastor

Posted on September 05, 2008
Things I?ve learned about Calvinism Pastor Jason Stillman at De Regnis Duobus has been doing a compare and contrast study of Catholic and Reformed theological positions concerning evergreen topics like ?sola fide? and ?sola scriptura.? Most of these discussions turn into polemical food fights pretty quickly, but Jason?s blog has kept to a pretty high level of discussion, with one or two notable

Peggy Noonan I like Peggy Noonan. I think that she has the rare ability to look at people with whom she is not in sympathy and still find something to be sympathetic about. Here is her explanation of the "open mike" gaffe.
