Obama’s ‘Doctrine of Inconsistency’

The crass insincerity of Rusty Limbo

There’s no debating whether Limbaugh is a buffoon. Further evidence: March 30 Obama and Mrs. Clinton are suggesting now that we make it official, that we start arming the rebels in Libya. They are suggesting that we arm Al-Qaeda – … C…

Beck: Obama ‘sympathetic’ to terrorists

The scrap heap of history

Obama told the emotional story of Lloyd Corwin, a member of Patton’s third army who was injured during the Battle of the Bulge. Corwin tumbled 40 feet down the slope of an icy ravine and was left to die. But one soldier scaled down the icy slope and risked his own life amid the gunfire, [...]

Republicans demand broader powers for Obama justice department

What do Palin and Obama have in common?
