Liberals try to disguise the utter wussification of our interrogation techniques by constantly prattling on about “the banality of evil.” Um, no. In this case, it’s actually the banality of the banal. Start with the fact that the average Gitmo detainee has [...]

HOW OBAMA’S SOCIALISM WORKS
via: Heritage Publish on TheHill.com on May 5, 2009 President Obama’s vision of the future is, apparently, an economy guided, steered and — when the occasion demands — commanded by the federal government.

God Has His Ways of Getting a Nation’s Attention

Republicans and ObamaCare: The sound of silence is deafening
via: wsj Listen. That sound of silence? That’s what’s known as the united Republican response to President Barack Obama’s drive to socialize health care. The president has a plan, and he’s laid it on the table. The industry groups that once helped Republicans beat HillaryCare are today sitting at that table. Unions are mobilized. A [...]
