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...

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...
