Nearly two-thirds of Republicans say Obama a ’socialist’

The president must lead America conservatively
MARIE JON, RA ANALYST — President Barack Obama stood before Congress and the American people just a little over a week ago to deliver his State of the Union Address — but his words still resound as nothing more than the tirade of a spoiled, frustrated, scolding and angry man… (more)
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
By Ann “Babe” Huggett
Over the years I’ve always made sure to purchase the September issue of Vogue and did so for more decades than I care to admit. I finally dropped Vogue in favor of Harper’s Bazaar when women of my age started disappearing from Vogue’s acknowledgement as savvy fashion consumers to be replaced with fashion-masquerading pro-leftist commentary. The conspicuous consumption and luxury-addicted Vogue never did catch on that the romance of revolutionary thought was just a façade to hide a grasping, murderous and rapacious political system based on greed and envy. In fact, the editors of Vogue still haven’t figured it out and even Harper’s Bazaar is guilty of it although to a lesser degree. At least with Harper’s, I can still find “women of a certain age” held up as fashionable icons but that’s about it.
However, women’s magazines in general and fashion commentary in particular are a surprisingly accurate means of forecasting who will be the winners in political elections. I’ve often written that if you want to know who will win American elections, look to the catwalk and check out the zeitgeist of the collections. When I saw even Madonna picking up the Wild West vibe of the runways by sporting her cowgirl hat and boots before the November 2000 elections, I knew George W. Bush would win despite the frantic efforts of the Al Gore camp to continue challenging the results until enough fraudulent votes could be manufactured by Democratic operatives.
It didn’t take a genius to discover that Obama was destined to win the 2008 elections either. All you had to do was see all the pro-Obama message tees on the runway to figure that one out. It was so blatant, it was depressing. The runways right now for Fall 2010 are full of Post-Apocalyptic wear featuring rips, tears, disjointed and mismatched patterns, and hard, funnel-necked leather jackets vying with cantilevered, architectural reinterpretations of the human form in such a way that has not been seen since the Mannerist fashions of the first Queen Elizabeth.
The models seem mostly to be sporting blackened, smoky eyes and ratty, messy hair. It’s like fashion has lost its collective mind and is simply waiting for the conservative triumph at the voting booth bombs to drop for the final touch to Mad Max fashion wear just right for that Saturday night punch-up in the parking lot behind Democratic Party headquarters.
A presage of what we can expect in November 2010 will be the elections over in the UK where Tory Party leader, David Cameron, will beat the pants off Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown in May of this year. How can I be so sure? Well, my fashion radar picked up a little blip the other day from the style magazine, Tatler, where David Cameron’s wife, Samantha, beat out France’s former high fashion super model First Lady, Carla Bruni Sarkozy in a celebrity survey for the best dressed woman in politics category. Evidently Tatler is picking up on the extreme disgust Brits have for the grotesque and ruinous mishandling by New Labour of the country over the past 12 years to the point where ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s “Cool Britannia” has now morphed into “Cruel Britannia.”
And, let’s face it: when an iconic and hip magazine like the Tatler titles an article, Is it rude to vote Labour…& other social dilemmas resolved, in its January 2010 edition, the jig is definitely up for the Red Rose socialists of the Labour Party.
However, don’t let the interchangeable title of Tory and conservative fool you for David Cameron. As much as the UK would be better off with a real conservative as Americans understand the term, Tory/conservatives in the UK are more akin to center-left Democrats here in the US. Occasionally the British version of a blue dog democrat within the Tory Party might sneak into office but if anyone is hoping for the return of principled men and women in the Thatcherite mode, well, leisure suits will make a fashion comeback before they will.
Cameron is an eco-greenie character responsible for switching the Tory Party’s traditional hand bearing the Torch of Liberty to a politically correct Ecology tree. His elitism is such that he refused a reporter’s request to use his powder room after his interview was over because he didn’t want the reporter to “dirty” the facilities. He’s all for the harsh Nanny State type legislature currently ruining Brits’ lives and thinks the most pressing thing facing his country is not the unrestrained and refusing-to-assimilate masses of hostile immigrants hitting UK shores but AGW.
Like Brown, Cameron will also be hamstrung by EU rules and regulations coming out of Brussels so if Brits think that things will change for the better under the Tories, they will be in for a sad disappointment. Disappointment is the name of the game in politics on either side of the Atlantic when you put, “…your trust in princes” as American conservatives learned when Republican Scott Brown’s Massachusetts election to the US Senate wasn’t even days old before he announced that he wanted to act in a bipartisan manner.
Oh, and remember that Tatler survey about the best dressed women in politics? Michelle Obama and her boob belts didn’t even place and if that isn’t a sign of things to come, I don’t know what is.

Constitutional courts are a threat to liberalism
By Chris Adamo
The reverberations from Republican Senator Scott Brown’s Massachusetts election had barely subsided when an even greater shockwave was sent throughout the liberal world. On Thursday January 21, the United States Supreme Court handed down a decision that overturned major pillars of the McCain/Feingold campaign finance “reform” act, thereby reestablishing the ability of the people to express themselves freely during election time, and thus to publicly hold Washington accountable for its actions.
Of course such an outrage against the Ruling Class can never be allowed to stand, if its dreams of imposing the liberal agenda on the American people are ever to be realized. The most crucial component of any liberal program is a monopoly on the dissemination of information, and the success of every tinhorn dictator throughout history has hinged on controlling the voice of the opposition. So it comes as absolutely no surprise that Barack Obama is leading an attack against the Court, abetted by such leftists as Senator Charles Schumer (D.-NY)
High on the Democrat list of objectives in the wake of Obama’s inauguration last January was a reinstatement of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” which would ultimately subjugate the entire radio broadcast spectrum to the biases of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the final arbiter of who gets to say what over the “public” airwaves.” It is not difficult to envision how this administration would wield such power against its critics in talk-radio. The ferocity of liberal reactions to the January 21 Court ruling tell the whole story.
Initially, the battle plan appears to be to discredit the Court’s decision. During his State of the Union speech, Obama specifically attacked the decision, making alarmist claims that it would result in a great infusion of “corporate cash” to influence American elections. Not surprisingly, this charge has been echoed by Schumer, who hysterically asserted that the “floodgates of special interest money,” meaning the unfettered voice of the conservative opposition, will henceforth “undermine our democracy.”
Also, during his State of the Union speech, Obama stoked phony concerns over the threat of foreign cash subverting the American electoral process. If the liberals were to be believed, this single court ruling casts doubts on the entire future of the nation. Yet once again, even a cursory examination of the historical facts proves quite the opposite.
Throughout the 1990s, the Clinton Administration engaged in obscene fundraising activities in which corruption, even including the obvious influence of foreign dollars, was rampant. The names Johnnie Chung, John Huang, James Riady were regularly heard in relation to dubious White House “coffees,” in which literal bags of laundered money were delivered in exchange for access to Bill Clinton.
During that same period, U.S. intelligence concluded that Chinese espionage had completely penetrated this nation’s security. Yet the Justice Department, under Attorney General Janet Reno, was deliberately slow to respond, and by its indifference, clearly telegraphed that it had no intention of getting to the truth.
Barack Obama’s shrill alarmism regarding the corrupting influence of corporate involvement in the electoral process would be comical, were his flagrant hypocrisy not so recognizable as evidence of complete contempt for the American people. Here is the man who, joined at the hip with ACORN, worked to construct a veritable revolving door for government funds to be amassed from taxpayer dollars and disseminated among the “community organizers” where they could yield the greatest advantage for Democrats.
The election season of 2008 was a time of relentless efforts by ACORN to work the streets and neighborhoods on behalf of liberal candidates, and 2009 was the payoff. Under the bogus premise of a “stimulus” to jump start the lagging economy, ACORN was slated to receive funding in excess of four billion dollars from the very political machine that now cries “foul” at the prospect of legitimate campaigning from the rest of America.
Given the fraudulent manner in which the left, led by Obama, is attempting to create panic over the decision, it is no wonder that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, when attending the State of the Union speech, silently annunciated the words “Not true” in response to Obama’s accusations against the Court. Though Alito did not generate the disruption and controversy of South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson with his “You lie!” outburst during Obama’s joint-session “healthcare” pitch, it was clear that his regard for Obama’s integrity parallels of Wilson.
In truth, America is never threatened by the proliferation of political speech from Americans, but from its selective suppression. Clearly Obama and his minions are not bothered by enormous infusions of cash from liberal banks and lending institutions, and are even willing to accept overtly dubious home financing deals in return for access to the seats of power. Nor will Eric Holder, the thoroughly corrupted Attorney General, be any more likely to root out malfeasance in this realm than he was predisposed to go after those Black Panthers who, in the 2008 election, prevented citizens from voting in Pennsylvania.
A Supreme Court decision that moves America in the direction of the constitutional principles on which it was founded will revive and invigorate political debate from a conservative opposition that has been hamstrung by disproportionate and unequal government regulation. As a result, barring more dirty liberal tricks, the upcoming campaign cycle can take place on a loud but level playing field.
The rules have changed. The Massachusetts elections proved the vulnerability of the liberal/Democrat political machine in the face of an informed and vocal public. And it is this possibility that the left finds wholly unacceptable.

Statist quo
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE — Everything changes except President Obama. His agenda doesn’t change. He has had no second thoughts about the wisdom of his health-care policies, or any of his policies; resistance is always and only a reason for redoubling. Also unchanging is the condescension with which he articulates his agenda… (more)
Obama court remarks spark reaction from Alito
NEWSMAX — President Obama may have inadvertently touched off a clash between the separate branches of government in his State of the Union speech Tuesday, by scolding the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on campaign-finance reform in front of both houses of Congress. Obama objected to the Supreme Court’s ruling last week that the First Amendment does not allow Congress to restrict the rights of corporations and unions to run political advertising… (more)

Obama, Dems consider pared-back health care bill
ASSOCIATED PRESS — President Barack Obama and congressional allies signaled Wednesday they may try to scale back his sweeping health care overhaul to keep parts of it alive in the wake of a stinging rebuke in the Senate race in Massachusetts.

What the GOP needs
THOMAS SOWELL — Some people say that there is no real difference between Republicans and Democrats. Whether that is said because of being too lazy to examine the differences or because it makes some people feel exalted to say, in effect, “a plague on both your houses,” it is a dangerous self-indulgence… (more)
