How Does a Pay Czar Fit into Capitalistic Economy?
Government money always comes with strings attached: Was this the real purpose behind the bailouts?
No, today, the shame is being rich, and President Obama seems determined to bestow the “honor” of poverty on as many as possible. Forget the horrendous tax-and-spend policies that gradually impoverish us all. Obama’s new target is a direct one – the evil, greedy CEO. To do so, he is set to appoint Kenneth Feinberg as his new “Pay Czar.”

Does Obama Think of Conservatives as Terrorists?
Interesting comparisons:
Recent events reveal how far to the left President Obama really is. When the president’s Cairo speech, taken with his reactions to the deaths of an abortion doctor and a U.S. soldier, are weighed against his Department of Homeland Security report and his Supreme Court decisions, a pattern emerges. The president is indicating that conservatives can in many ways be equated with terrorists. Such a comparison is outrageous, and the possibility that this mindset could end up on the U.S. Supreme Court makes it all the more dangerous.

Too far?

Is Obama Diminishing Christianity?
What does Obama really believe?
With every speech he gives, President Obama goes further and further in diminishing Christianity in America while inflating Muslims here and around the world.
For Americans this appears to be at best an incredibly bad choice of rhetoric or at worst the manifestation of a prejudice hidden in Obama, finally making its way out.
To Muslims though, it has a much deeper meaning tied to the concept of “Dhimmi,” the subjugation of other religions to Islam. I’ll define that in more detail at the end of this column, but first let’s examine the proof that Obama is diminishing Christians while inflating Muslims.
Is Google Ignoring the Anniversary of D-Day on Purpose?
Tetris is more important?
Yes, it’s far more important to Google to celebrate the anniversary of the invention of the video game Tetris than to memorialize D-Day. It just warms the heart, doesn’t it?

Did Obama’s Cairo Speech Not Do Enough to Emphasize the Problem of Islamist Terrorists?
Is his approach too soft?
Many Muslims were receptive to President Obama’s efforts to demonstrate respect for Muslims and to stress common values. But Obama missed an opportunity to clearly identify the common enemy: Islamist extremists. Instead, he spoke of “violent extremists,” shied away from using the term Islamist, and glossed over terrorism, which continues to be a threat not only to Americans but to Muslims as well.

Is Sotomayor Anti-Male? Are Her Remarks from 1994 Being Ignored?
Misspoke along the same lines twice?
On Thursday morning, NewsBusters’ Tim Graham asked, “Mark Levin Says Damaging New Sotomayor Texts Emerging: Will Media Notice?”
Given the small amount of attention yesterday’s revelation that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor made extremely similar derogatory comments about men back in 1994 as she did in 2001, the answer appears to be “No.”
