Andrew McCarthy tells the tale of babies born alive after failed abortions and how Barack Obama was more concerned about doctors’ legal liabilities than the innocent lives at stake. The transcript Andrew quotes from shows a staggering lack of concern for the living newborns: one of the things that we were concerned about, or at…

Democratic Party, Public Enemy
There’s some buzz that says Public Enemy will be playing a gig at the Democratic Party’s National Convention. Sounds like a perfect match to me! Chuck D: “We’re at a transition point where we have a black man who might be president. You’re starting to see all the ugliness come out, the lies and stuff,”…
Home Sweet Home
Democrats are having fun with John McCain’s inability to tell the press how many homes he owns. "I understand that Sen. McCain was asked yesterday this question, ‘how many houses do you own?,’ and he couldn’t answer that question. He couldn’t count high enough apparently to even know how many houses he owns," said [Obama…
We Can’t Afford Barack Obama
The Wall Street Journal says what I’ve been saying all along, that we can’t afford to allow Barack Obama to implement his idea of "economic fairness". Obama economic advisers Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee noted that taxpayers whose incomes exceeded $250,000 would face an additional Social Security payroll tax increase of four percentage points (in…
Obama on Taxes
I have every confidence that Barack Obama believes himself when he says that tax levels and brackets should be about fairness. In fact, the idea of fairness is at the heart of his whole economic argument. And he goes back to it in almost every public appearance. He talks about it as a general theme:…
Voting Religiously
Meg McArdle wonders, "I can’t see how you can have any sort of meaningful faith and divorce it from your voting decisions. Religious faith is supposed to tell you, among other things, what is right and wrong. How are you supposed to vote without reference to your notions of goodness?" The answer is that I…
McCain, Crosses, and Silence
By all accounts, John McCain kicked the stuffing out of Barack Obama Saturday night, so it’s only natural that the left wing would try to discredit his performance by claiming that he cheated and that he lied. Straight up, McCain’s probably going to get my vote if for no other reason than to make sure…
Obama on Abortion
From Rick Warren’s forum on religion with Barack Obama and John McCain (caps Warren’s): Warren: 40 MILLION ABORTIONS SINCE ROE V. WADE. YOU KNOW, AS A PASTOR I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ALL OF THE TIME. ALL OF THE PAIN AND ALL OF THE CONFLICTS. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX ISSUE. 40…
Obama, Muslims, and Freedom
Steve Clemons says that Barack Obama just threw his “key Muslim advisor under the bus” by allowing his “volunteer national coordinator for Muslim American affairs” to resign after being rather tenuously linked to radical Islam. In 2000, Mr. Asbahi briefly served on the board of Allied Assets Advisors Fund, a Delaware-registered trust. Its other board members…
Obama: No Slavery Reparations
No presidential candidate running in a competitive campaign would dare stake out a position in favor of giving reparations to the ancestors of African slaves and, happily, Barack Obama, pure political animal that he is, is no exception. “I have said in the past — and I’ll repeat again — that the best reparations we…
