Higher education bubble poised to burst
  Edukshun piece by OffSite (9/6/10)

Imagine that you have a product whose price tag for decades rises faster than inflation. But people keep buying it because they’re told that it will make them wealthier in the long run. Then suddenly they find it doesn’t. Prices fall sharply, bankruptcies ensue, great institutions disappear.

Feels Like a Depression to Me
  Depression/Recession piece by Alan Caruba (9/5/10)

Between the time that George Washington took the first oath of office as president and when Barack Obama did - 1789 to 2009, the United States had borrowed nine trillion dollars. Since Obama took office, it has borrowed or imposed nearly three trillion more debt. Tell me he is not deliberately seeking to bankrupt the nation.

Economic Rhetoric Not Matching Reality
  Economics piece by OffSite (9/4/10)

Since 1985, the hands-down winner for worst marketing campaign has been New Coke - the disastrous flop when Coca-Cola tried to change its flavor.

Atlanta Post: Obama’s Not Black Enough
  ObamaNation piece by Warner Todd Huston (9/4/10)

In the if-a-white-guy-said-it department, a black oriented website called The Atlanta Post is featuring a piece by Yvette Carnell headlined, “Obama’s Achilles Heel: He’s Not African-American(1),” in which Carnell decides that Obama is failing because he isn’t really black enough to make it all work. Further Carnell asserts that Obama can’t convince African Americans that he is angry enough to be ‘their’ president.

Obama Backs Violent Labor Leader
  Socialism piece by Thomas Brewton (9/3/10)

Obama, the self-styled man of peace, the reconciler, and the hope of mankind, is cozy with violence, from Islam to labor unions.

Israel And Palestinian Peace Talks are a Farce
  Middle East piece by J. D. Longstreet (9/3/10)

This whole dog and pony show of Middle East Peace Talks, between Israel and the so-called Palestinians, is a carefully orchestrated performance by the Obama Regime.  Calling for a peace agreement within one year blew the lid off any chance that these talks would be taken seriously by anyone who pays even the slightest attention to world affairs.  So far, all we have seen is more proof that the Obama Regime is in WAY over its head in foreign affairs.

On October 2, 2010 Americas Leftists Will Converge In D.C.

Obama’s Latest Outrage Against Arizona And America
  National Sovereignty piece by Christopher G. Adamo (9/2/10)

As freedom and individuality are crushed throughout the Middle East under the weight of Sharia law, Barack Obama opts to bow and grovel at the feet of Islamic dictators with whom he seeks to “build bridges.” Comity with such people is paramount. In contrast, human rights abuses among the common people of those regions are inconsequential. Or worse, as was the case in Iran after thug leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad secured his electoral victory through highly dubious means, the concerns and complaints of the people become a distraction and hindrance to Obama’s fawning diplomatic overtures, at which point he turns a blind eye to the mass state oppression of their dissenting voices.

Obama Throws America Under the Bus
  ObamaNation piece by OffSite (9/1/10)

An indignant President Obama complained last week, “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.” Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” - not international law or global diktats.

Muslim Soldier Refuses Deployment
  Military piece by Selwyn Duke (8/30/10)

Twenty-year-old Naser Abdo joined the U.S. Army more than a year ago.  Now that it’s time to be sent to Afghanistan, however, he’s having second thoughts.  He is refusing deployment, claiming conscientious-objector status.

A series of high-profile cases of lesbian-perpetrated domestic violence has sent shock-waves through Massachusetts communities in recent months:

Obama and FDR: They Really Are Alike!
  ObamaNation piece by Guest: Dennis T. Avery (8/30/10)

CHURCHVILLE, VA - Quoting from an L.A. Times blog of Aug. 20:  “Just a few things to catch up on for the weekend now that the Fundraiser in Chief has gone on another vacation. . . . The Congressional Budget Office says the 2010 Federal deficit will be in excess of $1.3 trillion, as in $1,000,000,000,000+ . . . initial unemployment claims jumped a half-million last week, the worst since last November, as national unemployment remains at 9.5% and the economy sheds 131,000 more jobs . . . But before leaving for his ninth presidential vacation, 10 days at a secluded estate on Martha’s Vineyard, Obama devoted four minutes in the White House driveway to a special statement on the latest disappointing jobs numbers. According to the President, he’s been ‘adamant’ with Congress for months now about a new jobs bill to help small businesses.”

‘Obama’s Iranian nuclear weapons policy a failure?’
  Foreign Policy piece by Jim Kouri (8/29/10)

‘The astonishing fact that Iran has been allowed to progress unimpeded to this point demonstrates that President Obama has been an abject failure in even his most fundamental responsibility of protecting the American people,’ said Arizona’s U.S. Congressman Trent Franks. - Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear capabilities is unacceptable in the eyes of the U.S. government, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen said yesterday, according to an American Forces Press Service report by Army Sergeant First-Class Michael Carden.

We Need A Revolution, Not A Movement
  The Republic piece by Guest: Chuck Baldwin (8/28/10)

The elections of 2008 (and the early elections of 2010) produced two significant phenomena: the “Ron Paul Revolution,” and the “Tea Party Movement.” And, mark it down: both of them will have profound effects upon the upcoming November elections–and upon the 2012 elections as well. Call them what you want, however, America doesn’t need another movement; it needs a genuine revolution.

Obama’s August Surprise: Turning AZ and 22 other States over to the UN
  National Sovereignty piece by Sher Zieve (8/28/10)

After turning NYC over to the Islamists and leftist sympathizers, via endorsing their 9/11 Victory Mosque (any Muslim project called “The Cordoba Initiative” has to be just that), Dictator-in-Chief Obama believes that he has found the way to both destroy opposition to his Orwellian plans for the former United States of America and introduce OUR country’s final demise.  For attempting to do that which the Obama refuses to do (his job under the US Constitution--not George Soros and friends), the tyrant has now turned Arizona and the twenty-two other US States trying to protect their citizens over the patently corrupt (Obama’s kind of organization) United Nations as “human rights violators.” Now disregarding the US Constitution and US law entirely--and getting away with it--The Obama and his worldwide anti-US Marxist minions have begun to divvy up the booty from that which was once America.  Note:  Despite our protests and marches, Obama believes he silenced We-the-People long ago.  Didn’t Hugo Chavez affect something similar in Venezuela?  But, let’s face the truth, folks.  Even Chavez didn’t try to destroy his OWN country.  But, considering his true birth place, neither did Obama.

Religious Freedom, Property Rights vs. Government Control
  Progressivism piece by Warner Todd Huston (8/24/10)

As the left falls all over itself to claim that building the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque is the perfect chance(1) to “showcase” our “Constitutional freedoms” and our religious tolerance, there is another state where religious tolerance is not as noticeably on display as it is for New York’s Muslims. Naturally, in Vermont(1), it is the religious freedom of Christians being denied. To be sure, the Old Media is not nearly as interested in this story.

Why the Left Hates Democracy
  Progressivism piece by OffSite (8/23/10)

Democratic governments derive their legitimacy from popular support in direct elections. Non-Democratic governments derive their legitimacy from a “special duty” to protect the country as embodied by a particular racial or economic group, in accordance with a set of overriding values. Such governments will typically explain that they cannot have democracy, because open democracy would endanger the groups and values that they are trying to protect. Democracy becomes the enemy, a threat would unleash the very evils they are trying to prevent. They will claim that at some future time, when all the threats have been purged, democracy will become possible. But not now.

Obama Vacations: Destroying a Country is Hard Work
  ObamaNation piece by Sher Zieve (8/23/10)

As Obama takes his 6th vacation, this year (and it’s only August), he has certainly expended great measures of time to reflect upon his job running the country.  Considering his ample ego, I suspect that he is very proud of the destruction he has, thus far, brought to bear against the United States of America and We-the-People.  As well as overtly directed at the American people, Obama must also smirk and laugh exuberantly to himself at his uncanny ability to get away with destroying much--if not most--of the foundation of the American system.  Again, no one is stopping his illegal and unconstitutional raid of all that is--or was--American.

It’s official now… Soon, Israel will once again be expected to give away the entire store because Arabs have merely agreed to discuss the giveaway.

Preparing For Democrat’s 2010 General Election Antics
  Election 2010 piece by Christopher G. Adamo (8/19/10)

Ever since the advent of the Obama Administration, and its systematic corruption and destruction of the nation’s constitutional framework, Americans have fervently anticipated their opportunity to atone for their past sins by way of the 2010 mid-term elections. That season is now upon us. As primary election races are concluded across the nation, and candidates head into the general election cycle, a drastic sea change can be expected in the conduct of political contests, as well as their coverage by the media.

Islamist Victory and Obama Attacks on the States and US Citizens
  ObamaNation piece by Sher Zieve (8/16/10)

As The Obama and his ObamaCourts ratchet up their fight against the US States and We-the-People, the beasts in the White House (aka Obama and Co) continue their fight against America and all humans. In his latest anti-US comments, Obama first supports the Islamist Victory Mosque (and probable terrorist training center), then slightly alters it when the hue and cry from We-the-People becomes too loud for his Marxist minions. Then, The Obama changes his stance--once again--and returns to his original support. When Islam wishes to claim dominance over a people, it builds an elaborate mosque to its god Allah. In his article “Ground Zero Mosque Represents Conquest for Islamic Jihadists,” Justin Quinn correctly writes: “As far back as the Ottoman Empire, Islamic rulers made a habit of converting Christian churches, monasteries and chapels into mosques” and “the proponents of the Ground Zero mosque won’t tell you that the erection of mosques traditionally symbolizes victory over the enemies of Islam.” Note: Obama won’t tell you that, either.

Obama on Ground Zero Mosque: Rights for Muslims, Tough Luck for Americans
  Religion piece by Michael Bresciani (8/16/10)

Only a few short months after snubbing the National Day of Prayer President Obama continued his war on American sensibilities at a meeting honoring the close of the religious observance of Ramadan.

President Obama, I Request Your Help!
  Progressivism piece by Don Boys (8/15/10)

On August 14, President Obama gave his support for Muslims to build a huge mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan giving religious freedom as his reason. Apart from the rightness or wrongness of permitting a mosque there, that decision is one of the dumbest political decisions he has made and he has made some “doozies” as momma would say. I have thought all along that his closest advisors must be Larry, Curley, and Moe, but even they could not be so zany as to recommend building a Muslim mosque where Muslim terrorists killed almost 3,000 innocent people. 

Between Barack and a Hard Place
  ObamaNation piece by Robert R. Owens (8/15/10)

People learn by moving from the known to the unknown.  An analogy inherently proposes the idea that if things agree in some respect they probably agree in others.  Secular prophecy uses knowledge of the past and the present to predict the future.  The past is the womb of the present and the present is the history of the future.  As the past may be interpreted and the present may be misunderstood the future is never certain.  Platitudes may outline the shape of something, but they can never define anything.

The Arrogant Bumbling BDO* Regime Is Stumbling
  ObamaNation piece by Malcolm T. Hedges (8/14/10)

Like a “Bull In A China Closet” the BDO* Regime has assumed itself “above the Constitution” and has accumulated a significant count of outright anti-USA incidents in its short “rule"(1).

‘Did Turkey Bomb Kurds With Chemical Weapons in 2009?’
  Europe piece by Warner Todd Huston (8/14/10)

News is just beginning to eek out that Turkey might have used chemical weapons to kill some Kurdish activists a year ago in the Kurdish area of southeastern Turkey. If this is true it could severely complicate relations between the EU and Turkey, an applicant for EU membership.

The First Un-American President
  ObamaNation piece by Alan Caruba (8/14/10)

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.” - Barack Hussein Obama, spoken at a White House dinner to celebrate the beginning of Ramadan!

Obama Did Shakedown BP And America
  The Executive piece by Christopher G. Adamo (8/12/10)

Congressman Joe Barton (R.-TX) is one of the few people from either party in Washington who should have any credibility left with the American public. On June 17, Barton infuriated liberals on Capitol Hill, and throughout the national media, by asserting that Barack Obama’s demand for twenty billion dollars from BP, ostensibly as reparation for its massive oil spill, amounted to a “shakedown” of the company.

There’s Nothing Gay about Being Gay
  Society piece by Alan Caruba (8/8/10)

There are two topics I generally try to avoid discussing. Number one on the list is homosexuality. Number two is most things having to do with religion, although it is impossible to ignore it in a world where a militant Islam is causing so much conflict.

Obama’s back-door amnesty threat is real
  National Security piece by OffSite (8/2/10)

An undated memo surfaced on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services letterhead last week from four agency staffers to Director Alejandro N. Mayorkas. The memo was titled “Administrative Alternatives to Comprehensive Immigration Reform.” The memo outlined 18 ways ("used alone or in combination") to make a legal resident of every illegal alien in the U.S. through “a non-legislative version of amnesty.”

Effort Already Underway to Repeal ObamaCare
  ObamaCare piece by J. D. Longstreet (8/2/10)

It is “not getting much press,” as they say, but the repeal of ObamaCare is very real in the US House of Representatives.  “More than three-quarters of the needed members of the U.S. House of Representatives have signed onto a measure to have a new vote on Obamacare that essentially would allow the chamber to withdraw its approval of the law and begin the process of banishing it from American shores.” (1)

‘Will Obama “Persuade” Americans their Slavery is Inevitable?’
  Progressivism piece by Sher Zieve (8/1/10)

For months, virtually each and every day Usurper-and-Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama has been removing one or more of We-the-People’s liberties. Whether one wishes to ignore it or not, Obama is now in an all-out war against the American people and their soon to be former way of life. And he has no intention of stopping until American citizens are slaves to The Obama and illegal immigrants (aka “Obama Amnestees”) are his indentured servants. Please note that under the thumb of The Obama illegals already have more “rights” than US citizens.

Mega Mosques and the Territorial Mark
  Islam piece by Paul A. Ibbetson (7/31/10)

Right now at ground zero in New York a battle over the construction of buildings following 9/11 is raging. It is hard to believe that almost nine years following the Islamic attacks that took thousands of American lives, post-9/11 construction has moved at the speed of a dying snail. Even more perplexing than the failure of New York officials to take on aggressive construction projects to breathe life back into areas destroyed by 9/11 is the proposed mega mosque building project only blocks away from ground zero.
