Essential Weekend Reads

Begin with the ever brilliant and witty Mark Steyn who wrote about why it's no big deal to Obama that global economies are melting down:

...and that was before Obama made clear that for him the economy takes a very distant back seat to the massive expansion of government it provides cover for. That's why he's indifferent to the plummeting Dow. The president has made a strategic calculation that, to advance his plans for socialized health care, "green energy" and a Big Government state, it's to his advantage for things to get worse. And, if things go from bad to worse in America, overseas they'll go from worse to total societal collapse. We've already seen changes of government in Iceland and Latvia, rioting in Greece and Bulgaria. The great destabilization is starting on the fringes of Europe and working its way to the Continent's center.

You mustn't miss the rest of Steyn's piece. His commentary on Obama's gifts to the British Prime Minister are priceless.

Coming soon to a country near you. This took place in once Great Britain: Parents face court action for removing children from gay history lessons. Think it won't, one day, happen here?

Russia Calls for Renewal of Global Disarmament Talks. Well, DUH! Why the hell wouldn't they? They know Obama will be more than happy to disarm America ostensibly because they trust that tyrants the world over would do the same thing. The key word is "ostensibly." Does Obama REALLY think they will also disarm or does he just he just want to reduce our military might? (exactly like he's destroying our economy!)

He’s Just Not that into Governing. Naw...leave that to the leftist underlings. For Obama, it's all about the campaign.

This is what happens when an abortion fanatic becomes president. Some Catholic bishops are looking seriously at shuttering all 624 Catholic hospitals in the United States if the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA) becomes law. Do you actually think the enlightened "pro-choice" people will care about this potential loss of health care? Not if it means their sacrosanct right to abortion proliferates.

Quote of the day

From the inimitably witty Ann Coulter:

"Fortunately, we have Keith Olbermann to point out that Rush Limbaugh did not accurately quote the preamble to the Constitution in his CPAC speech last weekend. I'm not sure what scam Olbermann imagined Rush was trying to put over on the American people by saying conservatives believed in the 'preamble to the Constitution' and then quoting words from the Declaration of Independence -- but Olbermann put an end to that cruel deception!"
