Is Barack Obama A Marxist Mole?

In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama’s life as a “secret smoker” and how he “went to great lengths to conceal the habit.” But what about Obama’s secret political life? It turns out that Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.

Bush’s Big Bank Bailout

Both the Wall Street Journal and conservative economist Lawrence A. Kudlow are defending the Bush Administration's big-government-socialist bailout of Bear Stearns. The taxpayers are bailing out a big bank while millions of Americans may be losing their homes in the financial meltdown. Where are the conservatives protesting this?

McCain, Soros, and the New “Global Order”

It's not the kind of endorsement that a Republican presidential candidate should welcome. But former Clinton State Department official and alleged Russian dupe Strobe Talbott says that Senator John McCain and Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are all "moderate pragmatists" in foreign policy "with the demonstrated ability to reach across party lines."

Former Clinton Official Named as Russian Dupe

Media Target McCain to Help Obama

The New York Times vs. John McCain controversy is becoming the subject of endless stories and fodder for the talking heads on television. This story has overtones of sex, even though the paper offered no hard evidence that McCain was involved romantically with a female lobbyist.

Obama’s Communist Mentor

In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama's life as a "secret smoker" and how he "went to great lengths to conceal the habit." But what about Obama's secret political life? It turns out that Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.

Obama’s International Socialist Connections

Campaign workers for Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama are under fire for displaying a flag featuring communist hero Che Guevara.

He is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based Marxist group with access to millions of labor union dollars and connections to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States.

Media Try to Coronate McCain

Tim Jones of the Chicago Tribune accurately observed that Super Tuesday was a test of whether the “thunder on the political right,” especially from talk radio, would carry the day.

How the Media Pick the Candidates

Whatever you think of Ron Paul, you have to admit that the media are notoriously biased against him. The Fox News Channel unfairly excluded him from its January 6 debate, while MSNBC and CNN tried to keep him from speaking for any significant length of time during their January 24 and January 30 debates. This is a candidate, we must recall, who placed second in the Republican Nevada caucuses on January 19, beating John McCain.

Obama’s Rambo Foreign Policy

The Obama vs. Hillary fight looks mean and nasty. But it also looks like one of those "professional" wrestling bouts rehearsed in advanced and orchestrated in the ring.

Soros Backs Corporate Democrats

Our media have treated us to endless replays of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama attacking one another's corporate ties. Obama said Clinton had been a corporate lawyer on the board of Wal-Mart, while Clinton countered that Obama did favors for a slumlord who contributed to his political campaign.

The March for Life Against Genocide

With young people chanting "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Roe v. Wade has got to go," hundreds of thousands of people marched on Tuesday to protest an estimated 49 million dead through abortion. On the same day, a young actor named Heath Ledger died. Guess which got more attention from our media?

The Man Who Plays Guitar with His Feet

Patrick Wood of the August Review, an excellent newsletter covering political and economic developments, says January 22 could be “Black Tuesday” because of a meltdown in the financial markets. But it’s Black Tuesday for another reason―the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision allowing abortion on demand.
