OBSERVATIONS

1. While at the Davos World Economic Forum, David Ignatius was apparently surprised that “When Sarkozy had finished his anti-capitalist rant, he got a standing ovation from an audience made up mostly of wealthy capitalists”

2. I mean really, when Obama says “God bless America.” during SOTU, does anyone think he really means that?

3. Ugh. I can’t read past the words “social justice”. A religious commie is no better than an atheist commie.

4. Whence came Obama : So the media, academia, the unions, the foundations, and the elite on Wall Street kept waiting for the Great Stone Face to appear — the saintly deliverer who would at last have the requisite skill and pedigree to bring a benevolent liberal statism to the unwashed, who for so long in their ignorance and selfish, petty agendas had resisted what was good for them

5. Obama knew little of Middle America and had little desire to learn. His idea of the nuances of the United States was gleaned from the university seminar and the federal payroll. Hyphenated racial-self-identity had always proved lucrative and was not to be abandoned. Postmodern indifference to the truth and facts ensured that much of what the President asserted, in reality, was not merely inaccurate but the exact opposite of what he claimed

6. The hypocrisy of left-wing redistribution politics and the enjoyment of the high-life, brought about by the fruits of capitalism, is a heavy anchor for Obama. Tim Geithner does not like to pay high taxes. Nancy Pelosi does like nice jets. Barack Obama likes junkets. So does Harry Reid. Charles Rangel likes hiding income on resort property. John “two nations” Edwards likes “John’s Room” in his mansion, and Green Al Gore enjoys his most ungreen estate. In other words, “progressivism” is easily identified as cynicism, as a condescending plaything of the well-off, who are exempt, either by government largess or private capital, from the very strictures they would impose on less knowledgeable others.

7. “We should assemble all those who are pure and cannot abide other faiths, put them all in rockets, and fire them into space."

8. Because white liberalism carries within it the illness of low expectations, it will be non whites who explain to the educated Western elite that the radical Muslims really mean what they have been saying for 1,400 years, that George Bush did not go back in a time machine and write the 9th sura so he could justify could a war for oil.

9. In my grandfather’s view, no liberty was safe in the hands of a Progressive

10. DEFINITION OF A BLOWHARD: “ I think he ranks with the best speakers in my lifetime, and by far the best of the modern presidents. What Obama has done, and is doing, is rehabilitating rhetoric itself. When he gives a major address, such as Wednesday's State of the Union, you hear a leader actually thinking through a difficult issue in public, taking a skeptical, even critical audience down a careful line of reasoning toward a new way of thinking. It is, traditionally, one of the central roles of statesmanship”.
11. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND DISEASE: Amity Superintendent of Schools John Brady said he is frustrated and shocked. His dilemma began last year when the district — which serves Bethany, Orange and Woodbridge — received a letter from the state Department of Education. The state told Amity it has too many white students who are diagnosed as autistic when compared to other racial subgroups. Amity last year had 38 white autistic students, one Asian and one black.
