Hope and Change. Hope for Who?

For those who oppose abortion and voted for Obama, congratulations, you got some more change. Unfortunately, there is little hope that Obama and the Democratic controlled congress bring to the unborn. As promised: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 111th Congress – 1st Session as compiled through Senate LIS by the Senate Bill Clerk under [...]

Taliban Endorses Obama Policy Decisions

I’m not certain that the newly minted POTUS sought this endorsement, but it came anyway. The Taliban it seems thinks that closing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp is a positive step. From the Reuters report: "Obama’s move to close Guantanamo detention center is a positive step for peace and stability in the region and the [...]

"Barack Obama inauguration: this Emperor has no clothes, it will all end in tears"

Across the pond, at least one man seems to get it. Gerald Warner, who writes for the London Telegraph, has a thoughtful column regarding the "Anointed One." Barack Obama. (H/T MM) This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster [...]

Memo to Catholics and Evangelicals Who Voted for Obama

It didn’t take long. Within minutes of taking the presidential oath, the official White House website was changed to reflect the incoming administration’s new agenda.

José Serrano [D-NY], has introduced a bill to repeal the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution. You know that one. It limits a president to two consecutive terms in office. [...]

Socialists Come to DC

Guess who’s coming to Washington on the heels of Obama? Carol Browner, Obama’s pick for “global warming czar.” If you read the New York Times, you’d find her credentials impeccable. She has a “strong resume” in environmental law, law and management consulting, EPA administrator, Audubon Society, etc. They forgot several entries on her cv. According [...]

Anti-Semitism Alive and Well

Mark Steyn has a nice piece about anti-Semitic tendencies now fairly common throughout the world. In Toronto, anti-Israel demonstrators yell “You are the brothers of pigs!”, and a protester complains to his interviewer that “Hitler didn’t do a good job.” In Fort Lauderdale, Palestinian supporters sneer at Jews, “You need a big oven, that’s what [...]

Goodbye Fr. Richard John Neuhaus

A friend of mine has died. I had never met Fr. Neuhaus but knew him through his various works of which First Things magazine was perhaps the best known. Fr. Neuhaus was a prominent Catholic and a man of immense intellect. He was a force of reason in an often unreasonable society. He will be [...]
