A Decision That Smells Like Rotten Fish
Is this where we’re headed? Where President Obama will take us if he can? The “this” to which I refer is a recent decision by the Supreme Court of Canada holding that “[g]iving exclusive commercial fishing licences to aboriginal groups” does not discriminate against non-aboriginal fishermen. Why not? Well, because it’s “affirmative action.” In its […]
Eagleburger: Obama Playing Race Card Is “Despicable”
Several posts ago, here, I criticized Obama for playing the race and bigot card when he accused unnamed Republicans of planning to “make [voters] afraid of me” because of his funny name, inexperience, “… and did I mention he’s black?” My criticism may have been strong — I hope it was — but it was […]
Duplicitous Anti-Equality Protesters
An article about the anti-equality protesters in Arizona has all the usual drivel we have come to expect from them — outraged (and outrageous) charges that the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative is a “fraud”; would be “a setback for civil rights”; etc. — but it is nevertheless noteworthy, for three reasons: 1) one of the […]
Obama Targets Blacks, Felons
The candidate who once said, to support from even surprising quarters, that There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America is now targeting voters from black America. Hillary Clinton got into a heap of trouble when she said, quoting an Associated Press article, […]
Lame Brain
Some of you may recall my criticisms of Emory University psychologist Drew Westen and his new instruction book for Democrats, THE POLITICAL BRAIN: THE ROLE OF EMOTION IN DECIDING THE FATE OF THE NATION. (See here, here, and here.) If you don’t, the gist (actually, the entire substance) of his argument is nicely conveyed in […]
“Affirmative Action,” Or Not?

However, college staff stopped short of […]

Common Cause Or Common Joke?
Common Cause for years has seemed like a one-trick (if that) pony, issuing press releases and other pontifications calling for campaign finance reform. You would thus expect it to be outraged at Obama’s recent flip-flop, supporting public financing up to the point it was no longer in his interest to do so. (If I were […]
Obama Plays Race And Bigot Cards
Even NPR is now blasting Obama for his hypocrisy over campaign finance and even for playing the race and bigot cards. In a Jacksonville fund raiser (why does he still need fund rasiers?), he accused his opponent of preparing to run a racist and bigoted campaign. According to Messiah Obama, criticizing his lack of experience […]
Michelle II
According to this article in the New York Times, Obama’s campaign is attempting to give Michelle’s image “a subtle makeover,” making her available to to such stalwart, critical interviewers as Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg on The View. The intent is to bury what the Times is pleased to call “the caricatures of Mrs. Obama […]
