Crank the Wayback Machine to Summer, 2005. When the U.S. Supreme Court allowed New London, Connecticut, to use eminent domain to take the property of people living and doing business in the waterfront neighborhood of Fort Trumbull.

It took some 20 years, but finally Rev. Jeremiah Wright said something that got Barack Obama’s goat: Wright called him a politician. That was the last straw.
Obama was moved to take Wright to task for his lost week-end (rather, the week-end Wright probably destroyed his chances of becoming president) spent dissing all those white voters in MA and […]

During the Dem debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the MSM – represented the other night by ABC News’ Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos – finally began vetting Barack Obama (IL), asking questions that made the candidate squirm and his supporters scream.

When Hillary lies, does she know she is lying? Is she a reflexive liar, a compulsive liar, or a pathological liar? Does the staggering number of lies she has told during this campaign make her morally unfit for the office she seeks? Do the things about which she lied make her psychologically unfit?
Consider these questions […]

In his speech last week Barack Obama declared, “race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now.” In response, the Los Angeles Times asks: “How do we start a national dialogue on race?” New York Times columnist Bill Kristol advises, “[l]et’s not, and say we did,” because “[t]he last […]

Barack Obama apparently deftly delivered another bullet to his foot with his recent comments about his “white grandmother.” He called her a “typical white person” and the news commentators on radio and TV are lovin’ it!

CNN declares:

What is the difference between Stephen Spielberg and Sylvester Stallone as a director? Spielberg uses horribly violent imagery for setting and Stallone uses it as a plot.
Is that to say that the fourth (and likely the final) installment of the Rambo franchise is a bad movie? Not exactly.

For years, Dems have promoted group identity politics, turning real or imagined grievances into votes by creating coalitions based on the solidarity of perpetual victimhood. But now, the aspirations of two groups are pitted against one another in the presidential candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and solidarity is fast giving way to polarity.

Double standard indeed.
Restrain murderous terrorists during flight and transfer, and you are accused of torture and restricting their rights all over the papers of the Western World.
Kidnap innocent civilians, terrorize peasants, place murderous landmines, and rape women, but it doesn’t matter: people like Chavez and Oliver Stone will still defend you as merely freedom fighters, […]
