Obama Administration Threatened Nigeria with Sanctions in 2013 for Fighting Boko Haram

Hillary Clinton wasn't the only Obama administration official who went to bat for Boko Haram over the past few years.

The Myth of the Moderate Muslim Majority

How many times have we heard the same old tired line, that only an infinitesimally small, almost imperceptible number of Muslims are radicalized? You know the story: a couple of young men cut the head off of a soldier in middle of a busy street yelling “Allahu Akbar” is followed by a litany of Islamic apologists on the airwaves claiming that the majority of Muslims are quite moderate and would never, ever condone such actions. Sounds great, but is it true? Short answer: Not even close.

Salon’s Memorial Day Message to America: You’re Not So Special

Just in case you missed it, I highly recommend that you check out Patrick Smith’s Memorial Day homage to America posted on Salon’s website. Here I was thinking that Memorial Day was a time to reflect on those who made great sacrifices in the name of democracy.

Mainstream Media Paving the Way for “Hillary the Savior”

Color me unimpressed, but I don't buy the sudden media interest in the IRS and DOJ targeting of Tea Party groups, the AP and Fox News. Is the mainstream media finally giving some coverage to the Obama administration's myriad of scandals? Sure. But do they really give a hoot that Obama uses the Constitution as a footrest in his pursuit of liberal utopia? Not in a million years.

Obama’s Secret to Corruption: Never Appoint a Special Counsel

Do you ever wonder how Obama gets away with the most outrageous acts ever perpetrated by a sitting president with barely a nick to his reputation? Did you scratch your head when not a single Justice Department or ATF official went to jail for sending hundreds of guns over the border to Mexican drug lords with the expressed purpose of fomenting violent crime? Do you really think high ranking government officials are going to be held accountable for the now blazing IRS and Benghazi scandals?

Benghazi: Hillary Clinton’s Consulate to the Jihadists

Want proof that the Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to help with the rise of Islamic jihad in the Middle East? Then look no further than Benghazi. While the lion's share of the attention has been focused on security failures leading up to and following the terrorist attacks on the anniversary of 9/11, the potentially bigger scandal for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is what was a diplomatic facility doing in middle of jihadist country in the first place?

Rachel Maddow: Islamic Terrorism? Never Heard of It

In just the latest example of liberal media types trying to redefine the motivations of the Boston bombers, whose motivation was made all too clear when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev admitted to authorities that “religious fervor” led to his actions, Rachel Maddow did her best last week to pretend that there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism and anyone who believes otherwise is a tin cap wearing idiot.

Marco Rubio: Corrupted by Washington in Only Two Years

It's hard to believe that Marco Rubio has only been in the Senate since January 2011. With the way he has been going on lately, telling conservatives what a bunch of unenlightened rubes we are for objecting to his immigration reform, you would think he'd been a Senator for 20 years.

Sandra Fluke: All freedoms are equal, but some freedoms are more equal than others

Sandra Fluke took the stage last night to warn the nation that should Republicans take power women would be denied access to birth control, abortion would become illegal and women would no longer enjoy equal rights in the work place. About the only things she failed to mention were her fears that if Romney were elected burkas for women would become mandatory and he would “put y’all back in chains”. There was also one other detail that was missing from her secular sermon… freedom of religion.

Urban Outfitters Selling T-Shirt that Features Holocaust Imagery

In what can be considered yet another sign of the times that liberal ideology is elevating anti-Semitism back to mainstream acceptability once again, the international retailer Urban Outfitters is selling an item of clothing that can best be described as "Auschwitz chic". It is a yellow t-shirt featuring a blue patchwork Star of David on the left breast pocket that harkens back to 1930s and 40s Europe where Jews were forced by the Nazis to wear a yellow badge in public until they were rounded up and sent off to the concentration camps.

Kicking Patients to the Curb is Hard Work

As a footnote to the Hilary Rosen-Ann Romney affair, in which liberals are passionately arguing that women who stay at home, especially wealthy women, have zero intellectual capacity to understand the world in which we live--a modern take on the "why don't you just shut up and make me a sandwich" sexist philosophy--the President reminded Americans that Michelle "didn't have the luxury" of forgoing work to raise their kids. Since Obama brought it up, I thought now would be a great time to reexamine the First Lady's background and all the noble things she has accomplished working outside the home.

What George Clooney Doesn’t Get about Islam’s Genocidal War in South Sudan

I don't mean to belittle George Clooney's good work on bringing attention to the plight of Africans in South Sudan. Traveling to a region of the world where at any moment a bomb could fall out of the sky and the real possibility of tripping over a live explosive certainly takes guts, but I wonder whether he truly understands the basis of hostilities in South Sudan and elsewhere in East Africa that has claimed millions of lives. In a Sunday appearance on Meet the Press, Clooney and activist John Prendergast framed the conflict in Sudan as a civil war between the Sudanese government and the breakaway republic of South Sudan.

In a Romney vs. Not-Romney Primary, Cain Wins in a Landslide

With all due respect to the esteemed commentators at Fox News including Charles Krauthammer, Ann Coulter, and Bill O’Reilly, all of whom are unanimous in their support for Massachusetts flip-flopper Mitt Romney, barring some unforeseen event like an alien invasion or dogs learning to talk, Herman Cain will win the Republican nomination. The numbers are overwhelmingly in Cain’s favor. While Romney may have locked down around 30% of the Republican vote, giving him the lead for now, the not-Romney camp still controls 70% of the electorate. As the race develops into a two man contest, as all primaries do, the not-Romney candidate (Herman Cain) will have an almost unbeatable advantage.

Obama and Power: Bystanders to Genocide?

For those who live in the real world, liberal fools in power can often mean dire consequences for millions. While Obama is busy prostrating himself to appease Islamists whom he views as fellow revolutionaries against the capitalist system, millions of Christians and blacks are at grave risk of being exterminated by Islamic tribes in East Africa with hardly a word of protest by the American government.

Necessarily Skyrocketing of Energy Prices is Tax Enough

It looks like Obama wants more than the pound of flesh that he has already carved out of the US economy. Not satisfied with $4 a gallon gas and electricity prices that are set to “necessarily skyrocket” because of his foolish energy policies, he now proposes to raise taxes on small businesses and the wealthy, the only segment left in society that has the potential to create jobs, in order to increase revenue for the bloated federal government.

Blacks in New York Grow Sick of Being Used as Liberal Pawns

In a sign that the Democratic Party stranglehold over the black community is starting to slip, hundreds of blacks protested in New York this past week against the harmful educational policies that the NAACP and the United Federation of Teachers union are trying to force upon their children.

When Will Science Get Serious about Global Cooling?

There is a very good chance the Earth is barreling towards another Little Ice Age within the next 10 to 30 years, perhaps sooner, and you wouldn't know it by turning on the television. A calamitous event that could lead to widespread crop losses and the starvation of millions is being covered up by complicit climate scientists and the main stream media because it doesn't fit with the politically correct narrative that humans are responsible for out of control global warming.

African Americans Flee Failed Liberal Northern Cities for the Conservative South

One of the most interesting results from the 2010 census, little discussed by the media, was the large scale movement of African Americans over the past 10 years from Democrat controlled cities in the northern United States including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and New York to the more conservative south. In an historic reversal of the 20th century migration that brought millions north in search of economic opportunity, African American families are abandoning the failed liberal communities in which they have lived for decades.

Only Obama Could Look Bad after Killing Osama bin Laden

It didn’t take President Obama long to mess up a good thing following one of the few actual “presidential” achievements of his entire administration. After years of bowing to dictators, apologizing for America, trillion dollar deficits, and a Marxist inspired healthcare bill destined for repeal, the US military handed Obama a gift from the political gods with the elimination of Osama bin Laden.

President “Necessarily Skyrocket” Obama Baffled by Rising Gas Prices

The same person who promised to bankrupt coal plants and cause electricity prices to “necessarily skyrocket” as a candidate would have us believe that he has nothing to do with Americans paying $4 or more a gallon at the gas pump now that he is President. According to Obama, it’s all a mystery to him.
