Since America lost its nerve long ago, Obama officially renounces War on Terror
By Dan Calabrese Friday, May 24, 2013
Let’s just be honest. Democrats never liked the War on Terror. They never really supported it. There were a lot of reasons for this. Some were partisan - they just didn’t want to support anything George W. Bush wanted to do. Some were ideological - they really didn’t believe we had the right to pursue our enemies, and they just plain didn’t want to because they don’t like when the U.S. uses force aggressively. Some were strategic - if they backed the idea that we should be doing this sort of thing, they gave tacit approval to the use of funds they would prefer to spend on more Democrat-friendly priorities.
What Is It About ‘Stereotype’ that the Tea Party Doesn’t Understand?By Michael R. Shannon Friday, May 24, 2013
Satire
Too bad Tea party types are such ingrates. Now that the mainstream media (MSM) is finally starting to cover the IRS political scandal, you’d think the Tea party would go out of its way to reward the media for emerging from its Obama–induced coma.

Obama’s Leak Obsession Leads to Privacy and Free Speech Abuses
By Roger Aronoff Friday, May 24, 2013
The Obama Administration is obsessed with leaks. Not the information it carefully leaks on its own, but the leaked stories which prove inconvenient for the Administration’s carefully crafted narratives. This serves as an extension of the White House’s emphatic desire to control all media accounts of itself, and craft a positive image before the public. Thus, even in the case of national security, leaks are designed to enhance the Administration’s profile. For those that aren’t, the reporters better watch out.

By Robert Laurie Thursday, May 23, 2013
This afternoon, Barack Obama gave a long, disjointed, and rambling speech about drones, Gitmo, privacy rights, war, courts, freedom of the press, Islam, national security, Iraq, Bush, and, well, a whole bunch of stuff. Frankly, it was one of the sloppiest speeches we’ve ever seen him give - one probably designed to draw attention away from his scandal-ridden administration.

No checks produce power imbalancesBy Sarge Thursday, May 23, 2013
Recent revelations showing the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax exemptions are “absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable.” This was Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wollin’s statement on 5-22-2013. Wollin said Treasury officials purposefully kept themselves out of the daily affairs at the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). “Treasury’s longstanding practice - spanning Republican and Democratic administrations - is not to involve itself in the details of the IRS’s administration and enforcement of the nation’s tax law. It is critical that the nation’s tax laws are administered and enforced in a way that neither involves political influence, nor the perception of political influence.”
