If some conservatives are headed for the deep end, doesn’t that leave other conservatives in the shallow end? The kiddie pool, so to speak.
And when push comes to shove I've learned not to pay too much attention to what a politician says. It's what he does that counts for me. So Obama'a nationalized GM and lots of other things in his two months so far. He fired the head of GM today or yesterday and announced that GM had to make more efficient cars that people want. I wouldn't be surprised if he suggests it be called the "People's Car."

No - all things have changed - nothing is the same. We aren't just "in a cycle." Obama isn't an idiot - he's bent on destroying the nation and spreading chaos throughout the world.
David Horowitz is a fricking idiot. I heard these same talking points about Obama yesterday continuing Bush’s war policies. As id thet’s the only thing that matters. He is destroying America and this idiot is trying to say, “See He’s just as bad as Bush”. What a dirt bag.
Nah, I'm content with calling him a bold faced liar and hypocrite.
An astute observation.
Should read “Hundreds of millions died fighting communism”
“Horowitz”. Hmm. That’s of what ethic backround? Who do “they” and did “they” predominantly vote for?
It’s obvious. He’s a mole who is running a counter-intelligence OP. //SARC//
Although I’m not willing to give so much credit to Obama’s strengths (e.g.,beating the “Clinton machine”), I thank David Horowitz for this voice of reason. Barack Obama is not some supernatural specter from the depths of hell sent to presage the End Times. He is a glib, talentless superficial political puppet from the depths of Chicago sent to lay the groundwork for a socialist “evolution.”
It’s up to us to stop him. That’s all. Let’s forego the hysterics and get down to business
Predictable.
feel free to call the cops sjackson...I just stole your pic, thanks. I have so many places to use this.
Some valid points, but he misses some huge problems with this presidency. First, the huge leftwards steps are real, and unstoppable and will cause permanent damage on our nation.
First where Horowitz is correct. Obama is not being radically left on his handling of Afghanistan and Iraq. He is largely staying the course while putting his own stamp on each. With Iraq he made the decision to put a ‘timetable’ on withdrawal, which I consider to be a terrible mistake. At the same time, he is leaving the military in charge to continue their work as planned, even leaving 50,000 troops indefinitely. This is a compromise on his part, and much much better than a complete withdrawal.
The second place David is correct is that we are seeing the divided government still effective. Despite an overwhelming majority in both houses, much of his agenda is getting stopped. It looks like card check, fairness doctrine, some of the bad tax policy, and much more will not make it to his desk. This is how it is supposed to work. I wish more could get blocked but they do control everything. A lot of bad stuff will get through.
Where David is wrong here is that Obama has amassed incredible powers through these bailouts and the stimulus, and the fear is real. The damage will be severe. Should we be doing the ‘Bush is Hitler thing’. No, but that’s not what I am seeing. Most every criticism is spot on. This guy is an extremist in his views. He is a central planner. This is radical, as America is not supposed to work this way.
Couldn’t get all those words on my bumper sticker. :-)
Same here CC.
This was also posted in the “Chat” if anyone wants to view the responses there.
David, as far as I’m concerned there is only one word in my vocabulary that deals with the left and that is ATTACK.
Stay off the blow while blogging David.
It's not his "speeches" I'm worried about: "cleverly" centrist is an understatement.
When was the last time a US President fired the head of a corporation?
Mr. Horowitz is failing to recognize the biggest power grab and transference of wealth in history. Obama makes FDR look centrist.
