Bret Stephens: Does Obama Believe in Human Rights – WSJ.com

October 20, 2009
By Ticklers Wife

It . . . takes a remarkable degree of cynicism—or perhaps cowardice—to treat human rights as something that “interferes” with America’s purposes in the world, rather than as the very thing that ought to define them. Yet that is exactly the record of Mr. Obama’s time thus far in office. In Massachusetts not long...

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Has Liberalism Jumped the Shark?

July 24, 2009
By Ticklers Wife

Identity politics, when viewed in its purest form, is racism. Keynesian economics, when distilled to its basic concepts, flies in the face of common sense. Re-branding political policy doesn’t change its ultimate effectiveness. Hypocrites are hypocrites regardless of the causes they support, or claim to champion. The U.S. should not be about “nuance” when...

October 21, 2008
By Tickler

Joe Biden, always reliable for betraying his shallow pool of savvy and power motives through a loose tongue, told his real feelings again, painting a second coat on his ticket-mate for being weak with world and terror leaders. As if it weren’t enough for him to claim Obama needs a second desk in the...

The Nobel Prize of Obliviousness

October 14, 2008
By Tickler

Third time’s the charm… First there was Jimmy Carter… sorry, just got back up from the floor. Jimmy freaking Carter got the Nobel Prize for his bang up job of bringing peace to the middle east. We should give him credit, it lasted thirty seconds longer than the previous cease fire. Not to oversimplify,...

Post VP Debate: Biden’s Fantasy World

October 6, 2008
By Tickler

There’s a great piece in the Wall Stree Journal about the VP debate and Biden’s falsehoods. Speaking of which, Mr. Biden also averred that “Our commanding general in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work in Afghanistan.” In trying to correct him, Mrs. Palin mispronounced the general’s name — saying “General...

Obama’s 26-year-old Speechwriter, No Wonder!

July 25, 2008
By Tickler

No wonder all of his speeches are shockingly naive and uninformed. I just stumbled on an article from back in January that Newsweek did on the 26-year-old toddler who writes Obama’s speeches, Jon Favreau (no, not that one). Not that I’m biased against youth (being a little over 10 years older), but when so...
