Lech Walesa was once a trade-union activist. He was often arrested for speaking his mind against Communist oppression behind the Iron Curtain in Poland and for defying the Soviet Union. He was an electrician who, with no higher education, led one of the most profound freedom movements of the 20th century — Solidarity. He became president of Poland and swept in reforms, pushing the Soviet Union out of his homeland and moving the country toward a free-market economy and individual liberty. And President Obama doesn’t want him to set foot in the White House.
Dreams From My Real Father
Now that it has been established that a candidate’s teenage years help define the man to come, it might be time to take a new look at the adolescent Obama and his then-mentor, the late Frank Marshall Davis.
I would guess that not one Obama voter out of one hundred could identify Davis by name, and I doubt if one media person out of a thousand has read his memoir, Livin’ the Blues. This is unfortunate on any number of levels. For one, Davis’s book captures the ebb and flow of 20th-century black American life as well as any ever written.
Obama Hits Syria With Brutal Blast of Adverbs

Elian Redux: Barack & Hillary caving to the ChiComs?
Yes.
If anybody, anybody with sense, actually believes that Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng is happy to be staying in China, or that he and his family will be safe for longer than a few months, that person is, in the old terminology, a “useful idiot” for the Communist cause. The American agreement that sends Chen back from the U.S. Embassy is a craven capitulation to Chinese Communist thuggishness.
This Week’s Exploding Cigar: Obama, the Dog Eater
This week, the campaign, aka Acme Cigar Corporation,decided it was time again to try to paint Mitt Romney as personally dislikeable by trotting out a 30 year old tale about his putting the family dog in a carrier on the family station wagon for a trip. Seamus, the dog, protected by a jerry built wind screen, survived, but the story was touted once again by Acme and its press buddies in the belief that as history proved, one can with media helpers knock out Republican candidates on silly externals.
Rep. Allen West: I’ve ‘Heard’ Up To 80 House Democrats Are Communist Party Members
On Tuesday, Rep. Allen West spoke at a town hall in Florida. During his appearance, he told the crowd he’s “heard” that up to 80 House Democrats are members of the Communist Party.

“Hollywood Hypocrites” by Jason Matera
Jason Mattera, 28, is a New York Times bestselling author, the youngest editor of a national periodical, Human Events, and the host of “The Jason Mattera Show” on News Talk Radio 77 WABC in New York.
Mattera’s brand-new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers (Simon & Schuster) is already creating buzz. Mark Levin hailed Hollywood Hypocrites as “eye-popping, exhaustively, researched, and absolutely hilarious” and the late Andrew Breitbart called it a “barrage of body blows to Hollywood’s holier-than-thou limousine liberals.”
That’s Weird?… Forbes Article Calling Obama the ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Disappears Down the Memory Hole
Earlier today Forbes posted an excerpt from the book Hope Is Not a Strategy by John Mariotti and D. M. Lukas. The author provided an excerpt from the book for the article where he describes Barack Obama as a “manufactured candidate” whose history remains sealed. Mariotti then calls Obama the “Manchurian candidate.”

Everything old is new again! Let’s party like it’s 1980 again! Depression is back, ennui is cool, malaise rocks! And remember how good it felt the night after Election Day that year, how surprised we all were that there was a Silent Majority out there who didn’t cotton to The Peanut and his beguiling siren song of sacrifice and hopelessness. For a Change, let us Hope.
