Greg Mankiw: Congratulations, Senator Obama. You ran a good campaign, and you racked up an historic victory. As you get ready for your new responsibilities, let me suggest four ways for you to become a reliable steward of the economy: Listen to your economists. During the campaign you assembled an impressive team of economic advisers…
It’s been a while since the term “Straussian” was thrown around. Rather than project interpretations by third parties onto others, here are some actual thoughts from the philosopher himself on the subject of progress: When the prophets call their people to account, they do not limit themselves to accusing them of this or that particular…
Nice start. Once again, Obama can’t get his history straight. And some of us, who have no use for astrology, will take astrology silliness over the thuggery of Saul Alinsky any day. Sorry, but it gets back to that love-of-liberty thing…again.
Well, does he? And, how about the ongoing airbrushing by Obama and his team when they get caught promoting something that stirs a reaction by those of us who have an affinity for the principles of the American Founding? Haven’t seen this much airbrushing since the fall of the Soviet Union. ADDENDUM The airbrushing continues.
Abe Greenwald on The Baltic Missile Crisis? And you think the Russians haven’t listened carefully to the video in this post, where Obama essentially promises to unilaterally disarm? That video took me right back to reliving the nuclear freeze movement in 1983. Or they haven’t noticed Obama’s lack of historical knowledge? BTW, how about this?…
Roger Kimball does an excellent job at articulating the core philosophical problems with Barak Obama’s candidacy: When he looks back on campaign 2008, what will Obama most regret? I suspect it will the same thing John McCain most appreciated: the now-famous off-hand comment to Joe the Plumber. It’s not, said Obama, that I want to…
Obama calls for a civilian national security force. Questions for Obama. Given the intimidation and threats we have seen from Obama supporters against those who oppose the One, don’t you wonder if people like Stanley Kurtz and Joe the Plumber are feeling as free today at the thought of this CNSF?
Obama Promises San Francisco Audience He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry!! Send to your friends in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Colorado, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. More. ADDENDUM Power Line: Maybe the American people just didn’t have quite enough time to get to know Barack Obama. It seems inconceivable to me that a candidate as arrogant…
You gotta love these pillaging Dems: For the second time in a week, a prominent Democrat has downgraded Barack Obama’s definition of the middle class — leading Republicans to question whether he’ll stick to his promise not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000. The latest hiccup in the campaign message came Friday morning…
Dean Barnett has died after a long battle with CF. My fondness for Barnett dates back to a 2007 post entitled Muddling Nobly, Happily and with a Sense of Purpose Through Life’s Unexpected Twists & Turns: …And that’s where “muddling through” comes in. Regardless of who you are, at some point life plays some rotten…
