Obama: Consistently Anti-American

The 51% President
When Americans voted in Barack Obama in 2008, they thought they were getting a “post-racial,” “post-partisan” President. For Barack Obama himself had declared that having merely won the Democratic nomination, “the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” What Americans didn’t realize however was that Barack Obama was [...]
Democracy Is No Panacea
Universally, democracy is being exalted.
Everywhere one turns, one hears of its virtues: how democracy ensures human rights, fosters prosperity and shepherds in modernity.
Yet democracy represents nothing more than the tyranny of the majority. In other words, contrary to the ideals of western liberalism, democracy does not ensure that the smallest minority, the individual is protected.
In [...]
Was WikiLeaks Right? Did Union Organizers and the U.S. State Dept Help Plan Egypt’s Uprising?
Last evening on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow took a few moments on her show to jab at the Beltway press, suggesting that the press in DC is so annoyed at being “sidelined” by the Egypt story that it’s “clawing and scratching to find some partisan story to tell here.” Maddow then proceeded to slam a list [...]
Hope and Change Just as Hollow Worldwide
Predictably, the media is describing the goings on in the Arab world as consisting of revolutionaries fighting their oppressive leaders for democracy and human rights. Never mind that democracy does not ensure liberty. Never mind that the governments that will likely ultimately take over will consist of terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. Never mind that in [...]
Arizona Massacre Exposes: Tea Party Is Afforded Less Benefit Of The Doubt Than Radical Islam!
What does the Ft. Hood massacre, and Saturday’s Arizona massacre have in common? Almost nothing.
With Ft. Hood, an open islamist gunned down dozens in an attack he all but said he was going to launch, and the best the Left could do was blame America’s love of guns while preaching that we cannot [...]
Where We Stand and Where We Must Go
As we embark upon a new year of trying to save this country and restore its founding principles, I have spent much time contemplating questions of readers — most important of which is that given the massive problems we continue to face, and would face even with the most principled conservative Executive, Legislative and Judicial [...]
Sarah Palin – the Next Margaret Thatcher?
Margaret Thatcher nearly singlehandedly restored Britain from its cradle-to-grave welfare state to a thriving economy. She believed that the socialism of her day was incompatible with the strong, productive, self-reliant, moral citizens she wanted the British people to be, and that freedom (economic and personal) was the only solution. Her conservatism was a moral stance, [...]
The Naivete of the American Public and Barack Obama
Suddenly the American public is shocked. Perhaps there is no economic recovery. Perhaps the One really does favor Islam.
Democrats and Republicans shake their heads and wonder, how could our President pursue such divisive and unpopular policies? What is the rationale for his decisions? Is he incompetent? Is he naive?
The answer is none of the above.
I [...]
Muslim Leaders Abandon Plans for Ground Zero Mosque?
UPDATE: A New York Daily News correspondent reports the Hareetz story is untrue:
UPDATE from our Sam Goldsmith, who’s been following this issue and just got off the phone with Sharif El-Gamal, the developer of the project:
“That’s complete misinformation. That’s crazy,” El-Gamal said.
“That’s totally totally wrong. This is more misinformation in this web of misinformation.”
“We’ve never [...]
Obama Backs Ground Zero Mosque
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country’s founding principles demanded no less.
“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country,” Obama said, weighing in [...]
‘Ground Zero’ Mosque Is a Mistake
The “Ground Zero” Mosque project should not go forward and let’s hope that Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf that is behind this $100 million project gets this message and backs off.
But given what he is hearing from the liberals in New York, including the city’s Mayor, the congressman in whose district Ground Zero sits, and the [...]
Shorebank Legacy: Microfinance Under the Microscope
As the Central Illinois 9/12 Project has briefly written about in the past, one form of banking in which Shorebank is engaged is microfinance, especially in foreign countries. As this is not a type of finance that is well known to the general public, we will discuss briefly what microfinancing is, how it is used [...]
Bachmann: Obama Worst President in United States History
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a rising star in the Republican Party, a true representative of the tea party spirit. She’s plainspoken, brilliant, and incisive. She’s running for re-election to the House in Minnesota. And today, I had the chance to pre-record an interview with Congresswoman Bachmann for my radio show, “The Ben Shapiro Show,” broadcast Sundays 1-4 PM EST on 810 AM in Orlando, FL. You can also listen live at big810am.com.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali Upends Leftist Stereotypes in Santa Monica
On May 24th, at Track 16 Gallery in fashionable Bergamont Station in Santa Monica, CA, dozens of marginal works of art were nearly destroyed by the exploding heads of some of SoCal’s finest and most dogmatic liberals, as a roomful of them were injected with some cognitive dissonance when author Ayaan Hirsi Ali spoke.
Ayaan Hirsi [...]
Mosque and State: The Greater Implications of the 9/11 Islamic Center
On June 6th, the date of D-Day, scores of patriots from across the nation poured into Zuccotti Park at the corner of Liberty and Trinity, across the street from Ground Zero to protest the 9/11 mosque being built just 600 feet from our country’s most painful wound.
Many have spoken to the horrible insensitivity of this [...]
Middle East Crisis: Always Side with the Civilized Man
In the post-American world, a convoy of war ships trussed up as a “flotilla” is affectionately called “humanitarian aid.” And now the world is demanding a full-on “investigation” of Israel’s defensive action.
I asked former UN Ambassador John Bolton for his take on it. He said, “How Obama reacts in the UN Security Council and more [...]
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. McCotter Introduces Resolution Condemning Iran on UN Women’s Rights Commission
Last week, I published a column that details the disgraceful silence of the Obama Administration over the election of Iran to the UN women’s rights commission.
This week, I’m happy to update this story with a positive development — Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) introduced House Resolution 1371, “Condemning the selection of the Government of Iran to [...]
Unindicted Co-Conspirator CAIR Tries To Ban Free Speech At Tennessee Tea Party
I am one of the featured speakers at the Inaugural statewide Tea Party Convention in Tennessee’s beautiful Smoky Mountains this weekend. But look at this: the unindicted co-conspirator, terror-tied Muslim Brotherhood front group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is trying to get the good, decent Americans of the Tennessee Tea Party to crush free [...]
Sanctioning Violence with Silence: The Obama Administration’s Policy on Women
Why is it that President Obama can travel to Cairo to promote the wearing of the hijab, but when presented with an opportunity to make a relevant statement on women’s rights issues in the Middle East, he and his Administration are silent? It has been more than two weeks since Iran was handed a seat [...]
Mullah Omar Wants Peace! (And He’s Got Killer Deals on Oceanfront Condos in Kandahar too)
After decades of fighting the Soviets, the Americans, and the current Karzai Afghan government, Mullah Omar has turned over a new leaf; at least according to this article. All along he’s just been a misunderstood guy who probably couldn’t pay his mortgage, right?
For those of you not familiar with Mullah Omar, he’s the founder of the Taliban, [...]
Video: Raging Muslim Students Screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ Assault Swedish Artist During Free Speech Lecture
Woah!… Raging Muslim students in Sweden attacked artist Lars Vilks during a free speech lecture in Sweden. 15 Muslims screaming “Allahu Akbar” rushed the podium, headbutted Vilks, broke his glasses and tackled him to the floor. The whole assault was caught on tape:
Vilks has been receiving death threats since he drew an image [...]
Feds Tell Seniors They Can’t Pray Before Meals
Big Brother says elderly visitors to federally funded meals at a Georgia senior citizen’s center aren’t allowed to pray to that Christian God of theirs. Obama’s Big Brother government contends that since it has paid for their meals the government has the right to slam its iron boot heel down on the necks of those [...]
US Taxpayers Pay for Germany’s Socialized Medicine – and Other Terrible News
The debate over Arizona’s immigration law is a topic du jour in the United States, but immigration and other demographic phenomena may have already sealed a terrible fate for Europe.
Mark Steyn discusses everything from Lady Gaga to the astonishing rate of immigrant dependency on the European welfare money.
A central point of Steyn’s analysis is the [...]
The Case of the Mysterious Disappearing Religion
Islam? Islam? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?
We awake to news that after extraordinary police work, investigators have made an arrest in the attempted car bombing of Times Square in New York. Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani native-turned-naturalized-U.S.-citizen, was taken into custody late last night. He was naturalized last year, and shortly thereafter, made a trip to Peshawar, [...]
