We are well into revolutionary times, but perhaps not in the way we traditionally think of political upheaval. Instead, insidiously, the law itself is becoming negotiable — or rather, it is becoming subservient to what elite overseers at any given time determine is a higher calling of social change.
Of course, progressive federal judges have been creating, rather than interpreting, law for decades. Yet seldom in memory have we seen Read More »

Vacationing Obama can’t shed White House entourage … President Barack Obama had a simple task for his first morning on vacation: shoot over to a Martha’s Vineyard bookstore to fill out his daughters’ summer reading list and grab himself a novel. Easier said than done. His SUV, part of a 20-vehicle motorcade, passed through a cordon of Massachusetts State Police motorcycle officers, in a protective cocoon of Secret Service Read More »
“Barack Obama has backtracked over his support for plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero.”
“The U.S. President was hit by a furious backlash from victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks after he backed the highly controversial plans in a speech on Friday.”
The English newspaper The Daily Mail ran a rather complete article on President Obama’s

Sometimes religious leaders and Presidents act on good principle but exercise poor judgment. The New York mosque controversy may provide a textbook example.
Plans to construct a mosque and community center in close proximity to Ground Zero may be well intended by Islamic leaders to educate Americans and other visitors about the positive role Moslem-Americans play in American life.
Well before the international conflicts of late 20th Century, Moslems were a small Read More »
“Obama’s a Bigger Big Brother Than the Last Guy” says The American Conservative in response to an article in Monday’s Washington Post.
Isn’t this another example of Obama’s breaking some of his campaign promises? I guess they’re not many left that he hasn’t broken.

One day that all changed. George was hired by George Steinbrenner and the world champion New York Yankees. He had hit the lottery — important job, big money, and beautiful Read More »
“Expect more of this from the financial reforms contemplated in Washington.”
Sometimes, while in the midst of analyzing current events, such as the proposed financial regulatory bills, its helpful to look back at some earlier relevant articles or commentary. And, ask yourself “Isn’t this what is still happening today in Congress and in Washington?”
One such article is “An Economy of Liars” written by Gerald P. O’Driscoll, Jr. for the Wall St. Journal in Read More »
Here is another example of a senator providing misinformation to the public, and getting away with it by not being challenged by the mainstream media.
According to Jonathan Weill, a Bloomberg News columnist, “To believe Christopher Dodd the Connecticut Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, the end of government bailouts is near. In truth, the financial-overhaul legislation now before Congress would do little to arrest the bailouts already in progress.”
