A long-kept secret is that claiming Native American ancestry for people applying for university faculty jobs is common. This is viewed as a resume enhancement, particularly at the more prestigious, more liberal colleges, where the useful idiots who make up the left-wing faculty are particularly susceptible to fall for this approach, tending to get all teary-eyed thinking about the past discrimination of Native Americans. Being also a woman is a two-fer where two boxes can be checked off in the affirmative action scorecard. It's just another scam that liberals have dreamed up and are fond of playing.

If the GOP establishment, with the help of the liberal media, get their wish and the moderate, more "electable" Romney is nominated, then the GOP had better pray that he wins. Because if he loses to Obama, there will no longer be any reason not to form a third party that actually represents conservatives. If that should happen, then the GOP's entire reason for being no longer exists, and they will go the way of the Whigs. We will not then need a political party that has no ideological moorings and whose only claim to the electorate is that they can manage the welfare state and the bloated bureaucracy more efficiently than the pie-in-the-sky Democrats.

I am glad at least that the left has finally become comfortable and confident enough in their own views to be honest as to what they really believe. I always knew that they felt representative democracy was much too confining a political system for implementing their grand vision. Better to be rid of all those bothersome elections where they are continually forced to say things they don’t mean because it is such a challenge to keep all those lies straight.

Ann writes - “Whine all you want but you folks are now fringe and should be treated as such.”

Whenever I hear the phrase “you folks” a liberal troll alert red flag goes up. Why do “you people” all use the same hackneyed phrases to identify yourselves?

I think we need to seriously consider the possibility that Obama is working for the other side.

It’s fairly well-known that leftists tend to gravitate to universities, and that universities through their hiring practices have given leftists an edge in hiring and promotion. This is especially true of the humanities, but where it is most extreme is in political sciences departments where too many far-left Marxists have made their home. There is no place on college campuses that literally screams out for some kind of balanced affirmative action than most political science departments, and no place where it could be more justifiably enforced. How can anyone defend having a political science department where only one political orientation is considered acceptable? All that needs to happen is for everyone to admit to the true...

As many of us are well aware, the Kennedy legend has totally been a liberal media fabrication because of its unparalleled ability, principally television, to create larger than life images. As we have seen, there is great power in endless lies, endlessly repeated to create an alternate, artificial reality. Conversely, the liberal media also have great power to defame as we have witnessed with Sarah Palin. The media tried to work the same magic with Obama and did manage to get him elected. But lately the results seem less impressive, possibly because the American public is a little more sophisticated in their view of the media than people were in the 1960's. So the ability of the media to create and sustain for so many years an image...

True, it has always seemed strange that we did not follow up on space exploration after the initial success of the lunar landings forty years ago. Although a great feat, they were costly and perilous, and were really pushing the limits of technology. We are still waiting for the technology to catch up to make space travel a little easier; we don't seem to be quite there yet so long as we have to rely on unwieldy chemical rockets as a means of propulsion which the tragic failures of the two space shuttles have shown.

In response to Taft who wrote “It also doesn't make much sense to me to say Obama is both in with communists and Jihad extremists, as they are like oil and water. Who ever you are reading about such issues, has issues.” , while one might think that the political far left and the Islamic jihadists have nothing in common, the two seem to have formed some sort of accommodation or an unofficial alliance because of their common enemy, which is Western civilization. It is mutual hatred of the West that brings them together. It explains such things as why the Obama administration is being steadily infiltrated by those with Islamist views, or why left-wing feminist organizations have nothing to say about the ill-treatment of women in Muslim...

Angler’s friend has it exactly right when he wrote - “”barry doesn't care about the democrat party anymore than he cares about the American people and our Nation. barry and his progressive army of socialist, marxist, maoist and communist political soldiers here and abroad are playing for much higher stakes. They are as patient in plotting as Islamic Jihad extremists, insidiously planning for the coming Globilization of an International government and their positioning to have the Power and Control at the top of it. “

Obama’s obsessive fixation on implementing a government take-over of healthcare indicates that it has nothing whatsoever to do with healthcare and everything to do with promoting a broader globalist agenda as does...
