This is getting better by the minute. Founding Bloggers kept their own cameras rolling after CNN turned theirs off. Don’t miss the good parts. Watch the entire video. You almost feel for the entrapped Roesgen. Almost. Clearly people are angry at Obama’s money grab, and that is a good thing.

Susan Roesgen, the CNN reporter, takes the concept of moral hazard to a whole new level in this hit piece from the right-wing front – a mass demonstration organized by a grass-roots movement in reaction to Obama’s mega-trillion dollars wealth confiscation scheme. Roesgen reasons that those who get money from The One should be grateful.

The thirty something, clean cut, nice looking man with a baby in his left arm, was distracted by the commotion around him. In a calmer situation the conversation may have gone something like this: Read more >

As we prepare for the Obama Depression, it occurred to us that we should record for posterity the performance of the various pre-election Polls.

Beyond any doubt, the worst pollster over the past decade has been John Zogby, whose brother James is an anti-Israel activist. Gallup runs a close second. Read more >

The “brilliant” Charles Krauthammer got it wrong. Fox News talking head Fred Barnes provided insight with the same depth of understanding he demonstrates daily on Special Report with Brit Hume. Hugh Hewitt preached the bailout gospel with the same tenacity he usually reserves for good causes, like electing Sarah Palin. On the Left, Nancy Pelosi did not think $700 billion was enough so she threw in $150 billion of pork.

65% of the American people opposed the bailout, but the political and media elites on both sides of the aisle demanded “BAILOUT NOW!” When the House Republicans managed to block the bailout legislation on the first attempt and the markets reacted positively, Krauthammer explained that it would be a big mistake to assume that no bailout was necessary. Now that the bailout has been signed into law by the lame duck in the White House and the markets continue to collapse, Krauthammer and his fellow elites will no doubt argue that the bailout was simply not large enough.

“It is such an honor to be here.” Here is why the mainstream media will fail in its mission to destroy Sarah Palin. She speaks from the heart, as one of us. She loves America and adores the troops that defend its freedoms. “serve with honor soldiers, hooya!”

Washington Post reporter Anne Kornblut accuses Sarah of believing that Saddam Hussein helped plan 9/11. What an awful thing to believe! Of course, Kornblut and her friends know that 9/11 was an inside job. One problem, Sarah only stated the obvious, fighting and killing terrorists over there means there are less of them to come over here.

Read Michelle Malkin’s take.

Grover Norquist enables Islamists in the Republican party and the US government. He is a close friend of President Bush and Karl Rove, as well as one of the most prominent leaders of the modern conservative movement.

Lat week, in Hot Air, Ed Morrissey wrote a glowing post about Norquist and his work with Americans for Tax Reform. Norquist delivered a great line, “The Left is not made up of friends and allies, but of competing parasites. If we don’t let them feed on us, they will gnaw on each other.”

Unfortunately, Morrissey failed to include information about Norquist’s other activities. Robert Spencer remedied the error with a succinct comment and an article in Front Page Magazine.

An impressive array of intellectuals and activists participated in an international conference on the collapse of Europe, the rise of Islam and the consequences to the Untited States. The conference was held on June 10-11, 2007 at Pepperdine University. It was organized by American Freedom Alliance and Council for Democracy and Tolerance.

The conference list of panelists included Mark Steyn, author of America Alone (best book of 2006), Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ex-Muslim member of Dutch parliament and author of Infidel, Hugh Hewitt, radio talk show host and author of Blog and A Mormon in the White House, Daniel Pipes, Director of Middle East Forum, and Ibn Warraq, ex-Muslim author of Defending the West and Why I Am Not a Muslim.

Mark Steyn explained multiculturalism with typical humor.

Olmert, with the support of the people, has just created a market for dead Jews. If a market exists, producers magically materialize and prosper. That is the most basic law of supply and demand.

Pray for the safety of Israeli soldiers and ruthlessly repair the world on election day.

Tikkun olam is a Hebrew expression that literally means “repairing the world.” Traditionally, it meant exercising good judgment to benefit the world in the future. Paying for bodies of dead soldiers is the opposite of tikkun olam. It benefits the grieving families and helps desperate politicians cling to power. It pays for today’s comfort with the lives of yet not drafted soldiers. Prime Minister Olmert is, essentially, surviving in the present by killing Jews in the future. Read more >

The long list of scandals involving Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (Kadima), keeps growing. Thus far he is facing charges of bribery, money laundering, fraud, breach of trust and more. On the weekend, Israelis enjoyed the spectacle of Tel-Tzur, one of Olmert’s lawyers, pressing American businessman Morris Talansky to admit that he, Talansky, issued instructions for the bank to transfer $160,000 to the Prime Minister. Essentially, the lawyer was arguing that the Prime Minister did not steal the money. It must have been just a regular bribe! They have no shame. Read more >

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that

• All men are created equal, but some devolve to Liberalism.
• All men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but not wealth, affordable mortgages or my $4,000.
• Wealth not earned through work and commerce is robbery; the state is organized robbery.
• In society power is finite; what the state takes weakens the people.
• Climate change is normal, like seasonal weather. Global warming is a profitable scam.
• Regulating the diameter of a kiwi or circumference of a cucumber (as in the EU) is statism.
• Freedom of speech trumps personal or group sensitivities.
• How we educate our young will decide our future
• In war there is no substitute for victory.
• Facts, logic and language matter.
• The West rises or falls with Israel.
