Elena Kagan: A Transnational Judicial Philosophy?

Elena Kagan, President Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, has very little to commend her in terms of her written opinions. The big complaint seems to be that she has written very few articles or papers that showcase her judicial philosophy. However, based on what she has said, it is very possible that she [...]

Supreme Court Nominee

The President plans to have a nominee in place by the end of May. And, as expected, claims he has no litmus test. Yet he also says he wants a nominee who recognizes women’s rights, etc. No litmus test? Yeah, right. More later.

Obama to Sign E.O. Today to (Supposedly) Keep Status Quo on Abortion Funding

Press not invited, only pro-life Democrats have been invited. And does this Executive Order amount to anything? N.O. It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Am I still disappointed in Bart Stupak? Well, yeah. This legislation had more in it that just abortion– the fear is that this legislation will also lead to the [...]

AP Reports on the Costs of Health Care Reform

The following came from the AP story sent out on the wire this morning: The measure would also usher in a significant expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. The insurance industry, which spent millions on advertising trying to block the bill, would come under new federal regulation. Parents would be [...]

Tonight’s Presidential Address

Can anyone say “Bush lite?” Tonight’s address at West Point by President Obama was strangely reminiscent of President Bush’s address to the American people announcing the war with Iraq. I agree that we should stay in Afghanistan but I disagree with having a timeframe for troops to come out. War never goes according to a [...]

Pay Up or Face Jail Time

Apparently, in the Baucus health care bill, if a person fails to pay the $1,900 penalty (tax) for not buying insurance, he or she could face jail time. Teddy Davis, writing on ABCs blog “The Note,” reported that on Thursday, Thomas Barthold, who is the chief of staff for the Joint Committee on Taxation, wrote a [...]

Children in Burlington County Township Praise Barack Obama

My in-laws live in New Jersey so this really hits home. The children in this video were recorded performing the song this past February for Black History Month. � I find the whole thing offensive because it sounds like we are praising “the Great One” or  something. And of course the tune of the Battle [...]

Frank Schaeffer–Christians are the Haters

This is so very sad. Frank Schaeffer’s father was a well-respected apologist for the Christian faith and his son spends his spiritual inheritance promulgating this trash. The protests we are seeing now are not grounded in some kind of “Obamahatred.” In fact, until recently, our president enjoyed a very high approval rate– across the nation– among people in various [...]

NEA Pushes Obama– Not the Arts

From Biggovernment.com you can read the transcript of the conference call involving key arts groups and individuals with members of the Obama administration and a representative from the National Endowment for the Arts. This is troublesome for a number of reasons not least of which is that some of these groups went out within a [...]

Bailout for Newspapers?

The president apparently is entertaining the idea of  bailing out newspapers if they are willing to establish themselves as 501(c)3s. The president noted that we must have better news coverage instead of the unsubstantiated material that we see coming from so many sources. He could start with the White House’s PR on health care reform.

All Obama, All the Time

This Sunday when you change channels on your television, you may feel a sense of deja vu if you are watching Sunday political news programs. President Obama is gearing up to do a major salespitch on healthcare reform and the networks have, once again, come to the president’s aid. The president will be appearing on [...]

Wilson's Outburst

I think Rep. Wilson could have picked a more appropriate place to make his feelings known last night but I don’t believe he was wrong about the coverage of illegal aliens just as I don’t think Obama was truthful about abortion coverage. Why? Because Barack Obama said so in his speech before Planned Parenthood in 2007. He [...]

Another Czar?

And Obama adds yet another czar to his ever increasing stable. What’s so disturbing is that these individuals report directly to the president, have their own budgets and have no congressional oversight yet they advise the president as his cabinet would. One could easily refer to them as his shadow cabinet since he has has [...]

Obama to Schoolkids

I know there was a great deal of controversy over Barack Obama’s speech to school kids today but I didn’t see it as that big of a deal. As long as he didn’t plan on indoctrinating children in the latest “change” or “hope” campaign, it didn’t bother me all that much. (And yes, I have two [...]
