In a recent column for CNN.com, fiery political analyst Roland Martin urged the President of the United States to get down and dirty with his political adversaries. Like, you know, jump ugly and go all street thug on 'em. Clearly spoiling for a fight — and with a curious, chest-bumping homage to the nasty culture of radical rappers — Martin wrote: Obama's critics keep blasting him for Chicago-style politics. So, fine. Channel your inner Al Capone and go gangsta against your foes. Let 'em know that if they aren't with you, they are against you, and will pay the price.

Despite its creepy implications, I was going to let that odd Super Bowl car commercial featuring the Green Police just ride quietly into the sunset. Until the even creepier announcement the following day from the Obama White House. That's when the worlds of fiction and fact, denial and disdain collided with a big, bad bang.

Who could forget how Newsweek editor Evan Thomas practically fell to his knees last summer in adoration of President Obama, declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above — above the world, he's sort of God." While Barack Obama's own opinion of these reverential flights of fancy is debatable, one conclusion is, I would argue, inescapable. For the true-believing zealots — for the evangelical left — Obama is the duly ordained minister of a glorious, revivalist liberal orthodoxy. He is the enlightened one, the long-awaited prophet, illuminating the path to a long-sought promised land.

Sometimes, a Washington whopper is just too big and juicy to resist. It absolutely begs to have a bite taken out of it. Such is the case with the interview David Axelrod gave during the most recent edition of the NBC News show Meet the Press. In trying to put forth his argument in defense of Obama, the shameless Chicago spin doctor botched the operation.

When her highness of highbrow punditry, Eleanor Clift, pens another of her catty columns for Newsweek, I accept her invitation to party. Ms Clift's commentary provides an ideal opportunity to clarify just what the Tea Party movement is all about. Here, Eleanor unwittingly offers an incredible party favor — the chance to blunt and even bury a number of key points the liberal media elite use to try to define who the Tea Party is. "Is the Tea Party a lasting force?" she asks. Why, yes, Ms Clift, indeed it is. And more than a force, it represents real climate...

State of the Union analysis - As is so often the case in Obama world, we can find our attention being diverted off of substance and onto style. The President and his parasites work to turn our attention from the true nature of a thing, to the shifting outline of its shadow. It's the dark art of the political pivot, practiced with daring cynicism.

From Barack Obama and his well-oiled propaganda machine, we have come to realize that truth can be found only in the opposite of what's said. So, when the President announced his new initiatives to help the country's struggling middle class, I knew that, in fact, the all-out war on the middle class had formally been declared.

Deception by Design - Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, plunging poll numbers, voter rebellion — what of it? Remember, with the committed Obamacrats, no matter what the public decries or demands, it's the same cast of characters who will simply try to fool us with new costumes. It's the same troupe of bad actors who will dress themselves in what they hope is more appealing, less threatening, wardrobe.

In the turbulent wake of the Massachusetts special Senate election, pundits and politicians of different stripes generally agree — the Republican victory is a wake-up call for Democrats. What they don't agree on — and what's so fascinating to observe — is what that call means, and how to answer it.

The latest irony ensnaring the radical left and exposing its full-of-hot-air policies and pronouncements involves "climate change" — not environmental, but political. While the one appears phony, the other appears real — very real. And quite possibly catastrophic to the liberal agenda.

It is a charge that, until recently, would seem too outrageous even to consider. But given the extreme, purposeful and concerted misdeeds, destructive acts and examples of egregious malfeasance by official Washington, it is a charge that cries out to be aired. The Obama Administration and its either willing or unwitting co-conspirators on Capitol Hill (I would bet heavily on "willing") are, without a doubt, scheming to undermine our cherished Constitutional system of checks and balances.

Like so many of you, I'm feeling sick. My head hurts. My body aches. And my stomach is so upset that "nauseous" hardly describes the awful feeling. H1N1? No, worse. At least with the swine flu, there's the great likelihood of full recovery in a reasonable period of time. With what now ails me, as well as an increasing number of queasy Americans, I'm frankly not so sure. In fact I'm seriously starting to wonder how our nation's health can fully recover from the federal government's shocking and sustained assault on our healthcare rights.

On the surface, providing "transparency" in government sounds like a good and noble pursuit. And it would be, if it were a good, noble and honest pursuit. But for the President and his loyal league of obsequious Obamacrats, "transparency" has proven to be nothing more than a propagandistic slogan. A cheap stage prop. A magician's sleight-of-hand. The pledge has found meaning only in the absurd negativity of its inverse.

BREAKING NEWS - Boston Herald endorses Scott Brown for US Senate

Another Republican mistake in Virginia's 5th Congressional District. The first mistake happened in December when six of the seven candidates for the GOP nomination were in support of a Convention and so were the grassroots, but GOP Establishment went against the will of all concerned to give a favorable and preferred Primary process to Senator Hurt, even though the Virginia State Budget is $4 billion in the hole and local government will now be burdened to fund this election.

It’s beginning to happen, and to happen with greater frequency and fervor. Americans across the country, concerned citizens of all stripes and positions, are starting to utter the “R” word. No, the word is not “Reform”; not “Republican” nor “Recall”; neither is it “Racist” nor “Religion”. The word once rejected, then thought, eventually whispered, now uttered evermore freely is “Revolution”.
