The American political system is a drag at times like these, when one is about to become disenfranchised in Washington. Barack Obama will have an all-Democrat, all-the-time Congress to work with and, unlike the Republicans’ little train wreck this far this century, they’re probably going to get a lot of their agenda made into law….

Obama’s Friendships and Mentors are Important
Mark Levin writes: We choose our own friends and associates. And this is significant in Obama’s case in particular as we are trying to get a sense of who he is and what informs him. Obama is asking the nation to honor him with its highest office. Yet, during most of his adulthood, he has befriended…
The Left’s Claim to Value Life
One of the American left’s great lies is that they value human life. This claim is manifested primarily in their opposition to the practice of executing violent criminals and the prosecuting of wars against evil nations and their rulers. There are reasons for thinking people to take these positions; however, for a liberal American to…
McCain, Rabble Rousers, and the Future
There’s been a lot of unwarranted, cheap talk about John McCain being a coward, that he’s poisoning the aftermath of an inevitable Barack Obama victory, even some commentary that he’s inciting mobs to violence against his Democratic challenger, and even that a McCain loss – a near lock at this point – could end in…
Rights and Privileges
What are our rights as Americans? Bill Whittle knows. With reference to health care, Bill writes: …back in the day, we would simply say that a right has legal authority — it’s in the Constitution and therefore it’s a not just a right, it’s a birthright. Health care is a privilege of being born in…
Liberal Field Day
John Cole says that John McCain is a coward. Cowardly for not rubbing Barack Obama’s relationship with Weather Underground terrorist and neo-educational guru Bill Ayers in the American’s people’s face on Tuesday. If not wanting to blow whatever chance he had left at winning this election is cowardice then perhaps Cole – keyboard commando extraordinaire…
Look Who’s Voting!
When Indiana passed a new voter ID law recently the liberal left was up in arms about all the poor, helpless, presumedly liberal voters who would be "disenfranchised" by having to demonstrate they were who they said they were. Now it seems that the Indiana law was prescient and that liberals need to add a…
McCain vs. Obama Debate
Financial Crisis McCain: we must stabilize home values by feds buying up bad loans. We need to re-write these loans so homeowners can stay in their homes. Obama: the problem was caused by Republican de-regulation, something that McCain championed that led to sub-prime loan crisis I was well aware of. Spending Obama: Bush doubled the…
What’s $53T Between Cronies?
Former comptroller general of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office David M. Walker says that the recently passed $700B "Wall Street Bailout" bill is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the federal government’s debt obligations: The ultimate cost of the act should ring up at less than…
Palin vs. Biden Debate
I’m looking forward to the debate for two reasons. First, I think that Sarah Palin is going to do a lot better than many people expect – she’s going to win the debate. Second, the debate itself will put an end to the drivel that passes for commentary on Memeorandum these days. So here we…
