Police state tactics were widely evident in support of the Democratic National Converntion (DNC) and the ruling class candidate Barack Obama in Denver last week.. They will be more evident in St. Paul, Minnesota, where a much larger convergence o...

I just did a critical piece on Emperor Obama's big Berlin speech last week. Here (pasted in below) is an interesting exchange between CNN's Candy Crowley and Obama. The exchange took place after Obama's speech. Obama tells Crowely that he doesn...

Given Barack Obama's current travel itinerary (he just visited Afghanistan), it seems that this is a good time to post (below) a reprint of an essay I did some time ago on his revolting embrace of that other criminal invasion. Before I paste it i...

Three blog posts ago, I asked progressive Obamanists if they had any boundaries of rightward drift Barack Obama could not trangress without losing their vote. No substantive answers were forthcoming - hardly surprising since the whole "Progressiv...

I regularly (despite my best efforts at blocking) receive scam-spam from people claiming to be in Africa and to have some way for me to get rich if I only just provide some detailed personal information (social security number, passports, bank ac...

Today in The New York Times, there's a useful Bob Herbert column on Barack Obama's rightward lurch. I think it's pretty late in the game for Herbert to figure out that Barack Obama is an opportunistic win-at-all-costs centrist (Herbert's fellow T...

Dear “Progressive” Obamanists and/or ”Progressives for Obama:” I have a question for you: at what point could Barack Obama lose you? I’ll return to this question and deepen it a little at the end.

I'm very hard on the New York Times from the left (I'm sure this has the Times' top managers and owners trembling in their Guccis) and have been known to say that reading their often insightful liberal columnist Paul Krugman was the only reason le...

Take a look at my last blog post - a carefully reasoned call for U.S. military personnel to refuse to participate in the monumentally illegal, immoral, and stupid American invasion of Iraq. That post elicited a series of critical comments from an...

This post is sort of a footnote to my last one, which was dedicated in part to the notion that the corporate-crafted infantilization of U.S. politics was heavily evident during the long telvised Hillary-Obama duel. In the process of doing a book ...

I think the Reverend Wright/Barack Obama episode has become potentially a full-blown book for some sort of left thought control analyst. It's become a really significant Orwellian episode. I don't have the time but I'm not kidding - somebody could...
