THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Obozo didn’t just inhale. He smoked marijuana extensively in high school and college. He also snorted cocaine when he could get it. But now that he’s president, he’s hypocritically continuing the federal drug war that’s jailing people who get caught at it: a disproportionate number of them young black men. Cretin.

“So what went wrong? All the available Keynesian levers for achieving economic growth have been pulled, yet the recovery is one of the weakest since World War II. The problem lies with the way the ‘stimulus’ was carried out, the uncertainty of looming higher taxes, and the antibusiness rhetoric and regulatory strong-arming of this administration.” [...]

One of the reasons the Obamaloots are giving for a possible presidential veto of a new defense appropriations bill is that it awards Purple Hearts signifying woundings in action to the military victims of two Jihadi killings at Fort Hood and Little Rock, Arkansas in 2009. “On June 1, 2009, Muslim convert Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, [...]

This good 2008 book by Burton Folsom, Jr., a professor of economic history at Hillsdale College, is a grand debunking of FDR’s effort to tame the Great Depression. He didn’t. The buildup for World War II and the war itself did. FDR succeeded only in laying the foundation of the modern welfare state. These debunkings—another good [...]

Not the immaculate conception, exactly, just one more example of Uncle Barry’s penchant for mendacity. Roger L. Simon applies the edge of Occam’s razor. “Reading the extraordinary revelation about Barack Obama’s youthful literary career on Breitbart.com — that his agents published a promotional book in 1991 with a bio of Obama saying he was born in [...]

Obamaloot’s Big Lie hasn’t gotten any more honest or believable since he told it in his State of the Union message to Congress back in January: “Over the last three years, we’ve opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration…. But with only two percent of the world’s oil reserves, oil isn’t enough.” [...]

Victor Davis Hanson on the promise of November, specifically about high-debt California but also about the rest of us: “Give Obama some credit. He has framed the 2012 election as a conflict of visions unlike any of our time. It’s our choice now, no excuses, no one left to blame. Change is coming, and with [...]

This time it wasn’t on behalf of an insulted white woman, but for the alleged murder of “the son President Obama never had.” Well, the plump-cheeked 13-year-old in the old photo the media loved, not the gold-grill, petty-thief, new thug version. And the black man? That would be George Zimmerman, recently vindicated by the evidence: [...]

This meme of Obamaloot bites dog is becoming a trend, at least among conservative and libertarian bloggers. It is funny, I think, though it always reminds me of my little tour in the Southeast Asian War Games in 1969. American military advisors (as I was to the South Vietnamese light-infantry militia) had to spend at [...]

Criticizing Obamaloot for the passing remark that Americans are “fighting on my behalf” seems misguided to me. Totally unnecessary, considering all the non-controversial criticizing that could be launched his way. As far as I can see, the American military has been “fighting on [the president's] behalf” since the dawn of the Republic whose Constitution made [...]
