A funny comparison of the Bush "Recession" and other items with Obama's mess.

Klavan at his best! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPw4_OaHlkA&feature=player_embedded#!

Klavan's primer on liberal thought... A sample of this video's gems: "Liberals believe that we spend far too much money on the American military and should be more like the Europeans who spend much more on social programs and much less on defense because they're protected by the American military." "Liberals believe that black people must be treated differently than white people because they've suffered so terribly at the hands of those... who treated them differently than white people." "Liberals believe that there are no inherent differences between men and women and when you bring men and women together, it...

The best 4:26 you will spend on the Interwebz on a lazy, global warmening* Friday. This one is specially dedicated to all of you mind numbed O'bots out there...you know who you are.Brush the Cheetos dust from your shirt. Sit up straight. Pay attention. You just might learn something. Now, roll the tape: ["Andrew Klavan presents: President Me! The Musical" - VIDEO AT SITE] Read more at floppingaces.net...

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Andrew Klavan, the author of such internationally bestselling crime novels.. Klavan: It was an experience that very much mirrored the pattern of the famous paradigm shift described in Thomas Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientific Revolutions.” Anomalies started to occur, things that didn’t fit into what I thought of as a “liberal” world view. ... Then the Berlin Wall fell down – everything Reagan predicted – stupid Reagan, cowboy Reagan, dumb old movie actor Reagan – every single thing he said would happen, happened. And it finally began to dawn on me, “Oh, I get it: it’s...

FP: Andrew Klavan, welcome to Frontpage Interview. I’d like to talk to you today about your journey into and out of the Left. How did you at first become a member of the political faith? Tell us about the beginnings of your intellectual journey. Klavan: Well, I was always a dissatisfied liberal. I just never knew there was anything else to be. I was born Jewish to a mother who worshipped FDR and a father who thought that any Republican victory prefigured the return of Adolf Hitler. That’s not an exaggeration: he thought Republicans were all just Hitler in disguise...

Well, you’ve heard about Sham-Wow – here’s the Real Wow: Find God in Just 60 Days or we’ll return your meaningless existence with no obligation! My new Klavan on the Culture video with visuals once again by Justin Folk who actually personally decapitated Richard Dawkins to get that shot of his head floating in muck. Is that dedication or… what? Anyway, here’s the vid: Cannot embed here

I laughed out loud watching this video of Andrew Klavan's 'serious' delivery identifying the way that inferior celebrities are grouped and treated as special as an accurate mirror of the democratic platform. Funny AND true!

(snip) "Referring to the belief that God decides during the Jewish New Year “who shall live and who shall die,” Obama told the rebs, “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.” In response to this statement I would like to make a subtle theological point: No, we’re not." (snip)

My first video commentary is now available: “Some conservatives are arguing that the beginning of the Obama Era has been a disaster. They think the president’s soft approach to tyrants overseas has elicited predictable displays of aggression, boding far worse to come. They feel the president’s high-blown ethical rhetoric has given way to his appointments of political hacks. And, of course, there’s the gazillion dollars in spending and taxation that conservatives feel is a radical attempt to destroy our free market system. That’s the Conservative argument. But today I’d like to explain the liberal argument: Shut up.” See it here

I’m not sure—I’m no prophet—but I think I just saw something genuinely profound, genuinely amazing, and cool that could be the tidal wave of the future. Here’s the setup. It was Tax Day. Thousands of self-organized protesters had gathered around the nation to protest the irresponsible, incredibly rapid expansion of government under the current administration. The Democratic Party and the elite media had done everything in their power to first ignore, then discourage, ridicule, and belittle this grassroots movement. Theoretically respectable journalists were reduced to making double-entendre sexual jokes about tea bags. These are the same people who rushed en...

"We [conservatives] don't have any dominance in the pop culture and the pop culture is made up of braindead people in large parts." Nine minute audio at the link."So steeped are we now in their lies about our representatives, their ridicule of our commentators, their demonizing dismissal of the causes we know are just, that we’ve begun to adopt their attitudes toward ourselves!

KLAVAN: The Islamofascists. I mean, Islamofascism is our biggest enemy and it`s the biggest enemy of culture, civilization and everything. And a terrible thing that`s going on now is we have lost -- our culture has lost confidence in itself. And this is why I keep telling people you can fill the Supreme Court, you can put Ronald Reagan back in the White House, we can have conservatives winning elections. If you lose the culture, you lose everything.

If you’re one of the few conservatives in Hollywood, you might be used to keeping your head down — and your politics to yourself — and hoping for the best. There are some signs that things are looking up for Hollywood conservatives, however. Revered playwright and screenwriter David Mamet recently published a sprawling essay in the Village Voice explaining, “Why I Am No Longer a ‘Brain-Dead Liberal.’” And Robert Downey Jr., the formerly troubled actor turned smash success with the summer blockbuster Iron Man, recently outed himself as, well, something other than a liberal. “I have a really interesting political...
