Obama Not Outraged; He Adores the IRS
17 May 2013 12:03 am

So, we are to believe that it is just a coincidence that tea party groups oppose the Obama administration and for 27 months, beginning in March 2010, the Internal Revenue Service didn’t approve even one tea party application for tax-exempt status?

Is it also a coincidence that during the same time period, dozens of liberal organizations involved in political advocacy practically saw their applications fast-tracked?
Do you now want to pause and consider whether I’m exaggerating? Feel free, but be advised that USA Today, no conservative rag, reported that “as applications from …

Partisan Obama Culture Spawned a More Abusive IRS
14 May 2013 12:06 am

In case you’re hiding under a rock, you should know that an audit conducted by the inspector general for the Internal Revenue Service has found that IRS officials targeted for scrutiny certain groups critical of the administration.

Which groups? Well, those with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names and nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution.
It’s disgraceful that government bureaucrats, whether on their own initiative or at the direction of superiors, singled out anyone for special scrutiny, but what their selection criteria …

There’s Way Too Much Administration Smoke on Benghazi
10 May 2013 12:07 am

A former National Security Council spokesman, Tommy Vietor, is representative of the arrogance of the Obama administration in mocking the congressional hearings on Benghazi, Libya, which he contemptuously derided as “amateur hour” and conspiratorial.

In a tweet to The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, Vietor mocked Rep. Jason Chaffetz, saying, “What do you think Rep. Chaffetz will disclose today? Moon landing photos? Map of Area 51?”
Very funny, Mr. Vietor, but your snark does nothing to explain many anomalies concerning the administration’s mishandling of the Benghazi attacks — though it reveals how indifferent …

The Most Incorrigibly Political and America-bashing President
7 May 2013 12:06 am

President Barack Obama has to be the most partisan and most ideological president we’ve seen in a long, long time. He cannot or will not refrain from injecting his partisan politics into almost every occasion.

Did he go to Mexico last week to improve our relationship with our southern neighbor or to use Mexico, as he does anything else he can find, as a political prop to bash Republicans and as a platform to criticize the United States?
What other American president has so often sidled up to foreign countries on the …

Is the Hard Left at War With the American Idea?
3 May 2013 12:03 am

I think the current controversy over immigration reform points to a larger issue in America today, which is that Americans are essentially split on the very idea of what America is and should be. It used to be that Americans mostly agreed that in order to attain citizenship, immigrants had to not only come to this country legally but also demonstrate, after training and study in the American system, that they believed in the unique United States Constitution and embraced what it means to be an American. Though that still …

PinocchiObama and His Ongoing Sequester Dissembling
30 Apr 2013 12:06 am

PinocchiObama is at it again, using his weekly address to the nation to spin tall tales, demonize and scapegoat Republicans, misidentify the nation’s problems, and propose the exact wrong solutions.

He opened up this week’s fiction with the umpteenth repetition of his empty claim that the nation’s top priority “must be growing the economy, creating good jobs and rebuilding opportunity for the middle class.”
How many times has Obama promised to “pivot” toward a “laserlike focus” on jobs? How interesting that he chose to repeat this very same claim just as the …

Assaulting Innocuous Christians and Coddling Terrorists
26 Apr 2013 12:03 am

America’s political and cultural left is, step by step, demonizing and marginalizing Christians and Christian values, to the point that even the congenitally apathetic should be concerned.

Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports (http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/military-blocks-access-to-southern-baptist-website.html) that the U.S. military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an undetermined number of military bases because it supposedly includes “hostile content.” Just a few weeks before, as noted in this space, an Army briefing labeled evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as religious extremists.
The information about the Southern Baptist Convention’s website surfaced when an …

President Obama’s Symbiotic Relationship With the Abortion Industry
23 Apr 2013 12:06 am

When I read that President Obama refused to comment on the murder trial of abortion butcher Kermit Gosnell “because it’s an active trial,” I knew immediately he wasn’t being truthful.

In fact, the second I heard about Obama’s excuse for dodging the question, I tweeted that ongoing investigations or trials did not preclude his publicly weighing in on the Trayvon Martin case or on the case of his friend and Harvard professor Henry Gates, about which he said the Cambridge police had acted “stupidly.”
If there ever has been a case of …

A Shameful Day for President Obama
19 Apr 2013 12:03 am

I wonder why President Obama feels he has the right to be outraged when legislators don’t automatically roll over to his policy demands. I suspect that his moral indignation is more about personally losing than it is about policy issues themselves.
For indeed, President Obama was obviously furious when his gun control bill failed to muster sufficient votes to pass the Senate. Politico reported, “More than anything, it was an emotional blow to Obama, who was as irritated at the four members of his own party as he was at the …

The World (America) Is Upside-Down, Part 2
16 Apr 2013 12:06 am

Recently, I wrote a column arguing that the world is upside-down — by which I meant “our” world, America. Today I offer more exhibits in support of my case that our culture is unraveling.
I realize that in today’s America, the notion that we should seek to preserve and promote the traditions, values and ideals that this country’s founding generation mostly shared is considered not just passè but offensively wrongheaded. Yes, why would we want to perpetuate a once underlying consensus (and the Constitution formulated on it) that gave rise to …

Better Never Than Late
12 Apr 2013 12:03 am

The old adage “better late than never” might not apply in the case of President Obama’s tardily filed budget.
It’s one thing to habitually arrive late for scheduled appearances selfishly to build suspense and annoy those in attendance, but it’s another to present this document two months late and after both the House and Senate have passed their own respective budgets.
Why did he wait so long that he would necessarily create chaos in the process? Does he not think budgetary matters are important enough to postpone vacations and golf outings when …

The World Is Upside-Down
9 Apr 2013 12:06 am

What right-minded person can deny the current uncanny applicability of the admonition by the Prophet Isaiah, uttered some 2,700 years ago, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness”?
Increasingly today, what is undeniably evil is depicted as good and what most traditionalists, at least, used to agree is good passes often for evil.
What’s striking to me is that many aren’t merely rationalizing evil in an attempt to excuse their indefensible actions. They have systematically turned our entire moral code …

A Government Of the Crisis By the Crisis and For the Crisis
5 Apr 2013 12:03 am

When President Obama’s former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said that “you never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” many didn’t realize he was inaugurating a new credo for governance.
Rahm’s statement was originally understood as the administration’s intention to capitalize on actual crises while they were hot, to promote legislation liberals had craved for decades but didn’t have public support to pass. But some suspected he was talking about manufactured crises, as well.
I usually avoid conspiracy-type theories, especially where Obama is concerned because his policies and tactics are …

Who Are Obama’s Real Enablers?
2 Apr 2013 12:06 am

I was reading the Old Testament book of Amos a few days ago and was reminded that liberation theologians get much comfort from that prophet’s decrying the mistreatment of the poor.
At about the same time, I read a piece by a brilliant conservative analyst with whom I sometimes disagree who was arguing that some conservatives don’t take the formidable Barack Obama seriously enough and, in effect, give him cover with their over-the-top depictions of Obama as a Marxist and worse. He erroneously assumes that these supposedly hyperbolic characterizations are motivated …

It’s Not Cool To Cherry Pick Scripture
29 Mar 2013 12:11 am

With Easter approaching and the Astroturf groundswell for same-sex marriage at its apex, I thought I’d put in a plug for the Bible, whose integrity and timeless principles are under increasing assault in our culture.
In fact, what sparked this column was a warning by a nationally prominent Republican to his party that it ought not go “Old Testament” and oppose same-sex marriage.
I don’t want to turn this column into a rant about same-sex marriage, but I cite this example to illustrate a common tendency to bifurcate the Old Testament and …

The Left’s Thought Tyranny and the Right’s Cowardice
26 Mar 2013 12:06 am

A couple of recent news items illustrate the close-mindedness, aggressiveness and oppressiveness of modern liberalism’s thought police.
MSNBC’s Toure issued a scathing commentary against the GOP for considering outreach efforts toward African-Americans. Toure said: “Such is the dysfunctional, abusive relationship the GOP insists on with black folks. They say they want a new relationship while continuing to try to screw us over.”
Toure went on to lambaste Dr. Ben Carson, a black person, for daring to stray from leftist ideas and endorsing conservative ones, such as a flat tax. Carson has “intellectual …

Expose and Oppose Obama’s Radical Appointees
22 Mar 2013 12:03 am

No matter what progress Republicans may make in electoral politics over the coming years, it will be difficult to roll back the steady march of liberalism that has taken place inside our cultural, bureaucratic and legal institutions — from academia to regulatory agencies to the Department of Justice — but we have to try.
A good place to start would be to oppose Obama’s radical appointees, the latest being his appointment for secretary of labor, Thomas Perez.
Radical liberals are characteristically activists, strategists and organizers. Their plan to infiltrate and dominate academia …

Trouble Brewing in GOP
19 Mar 2013 12:06 am

For the first time, I am wondering about the long-term viability of the Republican Party. I say this not as an advocate of its demise or restructuring but as an observer of troubling signs.
The Republican Party is thought to be the institutional vehicle for the advancement of conservative policies, but for decades, the conservative movement has been frustrated with the party’s deviation from conservative principles — its refusal to live up to its decidedly conservative platform.
I believe that the disappointing results for Republicans in the 2006 elections and probably the …

GOP Must Launch Reality Offensive
15 Mar 2013 12:03 am

How can anyone take President Obama seriously when he tells us our national debt is no big deal? Well, we have to take him seriously, because, unserious thinking or not, he has serious power, including the power to obstruct progress on reducing the debt.
I’m not making this up, of course, which is too bad because it illustrates why it is so hard for Republicans to work with this man. He neither views the fiscal world from the same lens nor shares the goal of significant debt reduction.
In an interview with …

Rep. Ryan, Please Follow Rand Paul’s PR Model
12 Mar 2013 12:06 am

There are three major factors that stand in the way of entitlement reform and the other responsible budgetary measures that must be taken to avert an eventual national financial catastrophe, and they have a common source.
The first is that too many American people remain, amazingly, in the fog about the scope of the problem. The second is that a certain political ideology refuses to substitute a designated driver for the intoxicated entitlement state, which is driving the American bankruptcy bus. The third is that the leader of this noxious ideology …
