Obama: ‘Let the Purge of the Intellectuals Begin!’

March 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Though President Barack Obama refuses to publicly describe himself as a socialist or a communist, the pages of non-revisionist history books are full of details about purges similar to the one he recently launched. Purges often work like this:  When a new socialist/communist leader seizes control of a formerly Democratic nation, he takes steps to [...]

Is Socialist Socialite Obama Acting Hypocritically?

March 15th, 2009 · No Comments

The Washington Times reported Friday that, while publicly identifying with the nation’s have-nots, the Obama administration has been cultivating the Beltway social elite behind the scenes.  As My Personal Litmus points out so well in his editorial cartoon above, such “social hobknobbery” doesn’t seem to jive with President Barack Obama’s social justice, class warfare agenda.

No Disharmony in Obama’s Adopted Hometown?

March 15th, 2009 · No Comments

In a post Wednesday, I reported that a joint anti-war protest and immigrants rights rally was set to take place today in Pilsen, the heart of the Chicago’s Latino community.  And it did.  Unfortunately, it appears most Chicago media outlets seem content with providing little or no coverage of the rally.  Perhaps, it’s part of [...]

It’s Time to Stop Celebrating Cinco De Mayo!

March 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Launched in 2006 as a somewhat-cheesy tongue-in-cheek merchandising gimmick (i.e., “Use mustard instead of mayonnaise”), the CINCO DE MUSTARD campaign has gotten “legs” and deserves serious consideration from Americans — especially owners of restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues who are finalizing promotional plans for the 5th of May holiday known as Cinco De Mayo.

Pelosi Backs Off Second Stimulus — For Now

March 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Perhaps in response to House Republicans ripping the idea as proof that President Barack Obama’s first $787 billion stimulus effort didn’t work, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi today ruled out any immediate action on a second stimulus measure, according to reports by The New York Times, Reuters and others. But don’t get comfortable just [...]

School Officials Declare Terminally-Ill Boy ‘Truant’

March 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment

“Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem,” said President Ronald Reagan during his first inaugural address in 1981. Proving that statement true is a report published today in the Loughborough (U.K.) Echo. Despite the fact that a terminally-ill boy’s mother had asked for permission to take him out of classes [...]
