Plunging Towards Gomorrah
cbs and the new republic
CBS has sunk even lower posting an article from The New Republic on their site. Just take a look at this idiotic piece of writing.
Mousavi is not Iran’s Barack Obama. He’s more like John Kerry, and this election year is strikingly like 2004 in the United States. The incumbent president is deeply unpopular at home and abroad. He came to power with a dubious mandate, but governed in a polarizing fashion that has divided even his one-time allies. Iranians have paid the price in every area of life that is touched by the government. The election is Mousavi’s to lose–but to win it, he will need to unite a divided opposition, and inspire at least a few of the beleaguered urban voters who have stopped going to the polls.
Bush’s approval rating during the 2004 election was around 53% (Rasmussen). If that’s “deeply unpopular” then what does CBS call Obama’s 54% approval rating? The left just can’t stop kicking Bush. They’ve blamed him for every conceivable problem imaginable for eight years. This is why people like Ted Rall are confused about many of Obama’s actions. The fact is Bush was a poor communicator that governed during troubling times. He is not a stupid man and he didn’t govern in a “polarizing fashion.” These liberal truths are not self-evident. They’re the product of eight years of derangement and myth making.

The left pulled together every ounce of its faux outrage when it learned that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. I wonder how they feel about the fact that 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers and reporters went to Obama and Democrats? The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was
Weekend Flush: ObamaCare, Liars, Inception, and John Edwards

ObamaCare: It seems like years ago when the Democrats passed one of the worst pieces of legislation in American history. Thanks to the evil Democrats the American taxpayer will be funding abortions. Remember when Stupak famously caved thanks to an Obama executive order? The pro-death left dismissed pro-life fears as paranoia. However, we should know
Democrats “Want You” to Pay for Abortion
about 5 months ago - No comments
For those scoring at home if ObamaCare doesn’t pass it’s because the Democrats in Washington insisted on making taxpayers pay for abortion. That’s right. There’s not one good thing you can say about a party committed to making taxpayers pay for the most divisive issue in the nation since slavery. The party of “choice” doesn’t
The Ego Has Landed

Win or lose the President has lost face during the health care debate. In a year of economic woe the President has been on a crusade to strengthen the grip of government on the citizens through a health care takeover. With an approving nod he has sat and watched his party make backroom deals and

The Obama administration has been a godsend for unions. The Economist has an article about unions that sheds light on the type of job creation Obama intends to inflict on the nation. Obama and his socialist union allies would like to create 4 million union jobs. Why not? More union members equals more democrat voters?

It appears that the White House is ready to double down on dumb. While President Obama wants any kind of health care bill to sign I’m not sure he has the votes. 18 Democrats in the Senate are on the record saying they’re opposed to reconciliation, but politicians hardly ever keep their word. The big
Joe Biden Strikes Again

Where is Joe Biden? Oh, there he is… on Larry King Live. I would assume that would be a safe venue for Biden; however, I’ve learned that there are no safe venues for Biden. I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration.
The Cost of Goverment

Government work is good if you can get it. Carpe Diem has a nice looking graph that shows that government employees makes 45% more on average than private sector employees. As I was saying a few days ago. There’s a lot of fat in government than can be cut but no one in Washington is

I was reading an article this morning with the headline, “Iran will deliver telling blow to global powers on Feb. 11.” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is up to his typical self-contradictory rhetoric. It’s odd to see a man who squashes the will of his own people talk about human dignity: “If the Islamic Revolution had not
Populist Nonsense: Spending Freeze
about 7 months ago - No comments
When my family contemplates a spending freeze we quit spending money. When Obama asks for a spending freeze what does it really mean? This is the President who spent trillions in his first year in office. This measly “freeze” is going to save $15 billion. At this rate, sometime around August 2076 the federal government

While Bush probably gets blamed for a lot of the problems he didn’t create. I think we can look back and safely say that his domestic presidency was an utter failure.
As long as we’re talking about big media web pages I think we have to look at foxnews.com today. The biggest presidential promise Obama made was to provide a health-care overall. He’s making his pitch to the AMA and Fox believes a $490 million yacht is more important!
