Victor Davis Hanson on “Obama and the “Noble Lie””

Along with Michael Barone’s instant classic labeling the Obama administration as “gangster government”, Victor Davis Hanson’s analysis of Obama and the philosophy of the “Noble Lie” is essential reading.

Comrade Union Members are on top in Obama’s proletarian revolution

The best chance for compromise legislation on health care may be a plan under construction in the Senate Finance Committee that would pay for a public plan in part by taxing some worker health benefits.

But the union workers who helped Democrats win Congress and the White House and whose support will be key in getting a health bill signed into law would not pay the tax.

  Good old fashioned Soviet/Nazi fascism is coming to the United States with the creation of privileged classes.

Claudia Rosett asks where the UN has been on Iran

“People are being killed in Iran. Where is the U.N.? What institution could be better positioned to relieve President Obama of his worries about America standing up unilaterally for freedom in Iran? The U.N. is the self-styled overlord of the international community, committed in its charter to promote peace, freedom and "reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights."

Iran's regime is already in gross violation of a series of U.N. sanctions over a nuclear program the U.N. Security Council deems a threat to international peace. The same regime has now loosed its security apparatus of trained thugs and snipers on Iranians who have been, in huge numbers, demanding their basic rights. Surely top U.N. officials such as Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon should be leading the charge for liberty and justice, with the strongest possible criticism and measures against the Iranian regime.

But that's not happening. While Iranian protesters have been risking their necks to try to rid their country of a malignant despotism, the U.N. has hardly even qualified as voting "present."”

  You want to read all of this – and then ask why more than $4 billion US taxpayer dollars are given to the UN annually.

Obama trades live terrorists for dead hostages.

  The genius of Obama is simply breathtaking. No one this stupid has ever before occupied the White House.

  The man actually traded live terrorists for dead hostages.

  The sane, rational policy of not negotiating for the release of hostages has been shredded without a peep from Congress or the major media.

Remember when Iraq and Afghanistan were “news”?

  Was it just last year that the media were still clamoring about Iraq and Afghanistan? How awful those wars were. how expensive, how the evil Bush was doing so poorly?

  That was yesterday. Today, the in-the-tank for Obama media couldn’t care less:

A couple of surprising words were missing from President Barack Obama's 55-minute news conference on Wednesday: "Iraq" — and "Afghanistan."

Also MIA: "Korea," "Pakistan," "soldiers," "surge" and "war" — as well as the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
