Gaffe, a word that temporarily came to be associated with political misstatements, has returned to its origins as a social faux pas, such as saying something at a dinner party that everyone knows to be true, but that know mustn’t be said out loud.
“…my country, land of my choice…”
This is my country, land of my birth. This is my country, land best on earth…
The Chief Justice Done Good
Chief Justice John Roberts has handed a remarkable victory to American conservatives by threading the judicial needle with perfect precision. The initial disappointment collectively felt by Americans who had hoped for a Supreme Court ruling that would overturn Obamacare soon will be replaced, upon further reflection, by the excitement that will come with a fuller appreciation of what the Chief Justice has wrought.
Austerity Works
As Greece, and now Spain and Italy, struggle with the crushing burden of debt brought on by the modern welfare state, perhaps we should shift our gaze some 1,200 miles north to see how austerity can actually work.
Socialist or Fascist?
It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a “socialist.” He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard definition of socialism.

Repeal ObamaCare & Save American Healthcare
Whether ObamaCare is struck down in the Supreme Court or legislatively in 2012, we must lay “the political and intellectual groundwork” for what is to replace this government takeover of healthcare and with it one sixth of the private sector economy. Failure to deliver a clear message as to the possibilities for constructive change will result in more of the same Federal Government and bureaucratic distortions of the healthcare system.
The solitary, poor, nasty, brutish
and short Life of “Julia,”
Kept Woman, Lifelong Dependent
Alas, Team Obama has omitted a few milestones from the life of Julia:
4 months: Julia’s mother decides that giving birth will be hard on her figure. She kills Julia. Under Barack Obama, her right to do so is absolutely nonnegotiable.
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.
