Free Republic

Editor's Note:This column was coauthored by Bob Morrison. You probably cannot find a more scholarly, measured, and careful writer than Michael Barone. This Resident Fellow at the respected American Enterprise Institute is not given to exaggeration. Let others set their hair on fire to get a headline, Harvard-educated Michael Barone makes news because he’s one who knows. He has been the co-editor since 1968 of The Almanac of American Politics. It has been referred to as the “Bible,” but usually by those who don’t have another. Still, when Michael Barone says the Obama administration views “Christianity bad, Islam good,” people...

With the House now firmly in Republican hands, some on the left have and are voicing concerns that the GOP will attempt to impeach President Barack Obama. While liberals, such as MSNBC’s Ed Schultz, the New Republic’s Jonathan Chait, and various bloggers wring their hands over the sinister hypothetical, the Republican leadership is denying that they have even considered the possibility. “Liberal commentators are simply making things up,” Republican leader John Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel told The Daily Caller. “We have no plans to [impeach] the President. Our plan is to listen to the American people, who want us to...

Remember that guy you went to high school with? You know, the one with the rich parents. The one who drove a Porsche to school and wore the slickest clothing. The one with a pool in the backyard and the Xbox and the tennis court. You thought he was a jerk then. He's still a jerk now. Only now, he's president of the United States. His parents didn't buy him the SUV and the tickets to the concerts and the jet rides to New York. You did. As the rest of the country suffers through a real unemployment rate of...

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan smiles on as she takes her seat on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday June 28, 2010, prior to the start of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The White House apparently isn't going to be answering questions about a mystery uncovered by private investigators, who, working independently, found that President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut, while there is no record he ever had a mailing address there. WND previously reported the investigators discovered that the number was issued between 1977 and 1979 – while Obama's employment reportedly dates back to 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii. The questions were raised by affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the...

In a letter to Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee Republican, Robert Bauer, counsel to Obama, implied the president may use executive privilege to hide some memos Elena Kagan wrote when she served in the Clinton White House. “President Obama does not intend to assert executive privilege over any of the documents requested by the Committee,” Bauer writes. “Of course, President Clinton also has an interest in these records, and his representative is reviewing them now,” he adds. The Clinton library has more than 150,000 documents related to Elena Kagan. This is one of the few...

By now, anyone with a working knowledge of narcissism recognizes the pathological condition of the president. Even liberals concede that the man who sends thrills up Chris Mathews' leg is self-absorbed. It therefore makes sense that Elena Kagan, his Solicitor General, is the SCOTUS nominee. In 2005, at a Harvard luncheon, Ms. Kagan waxed eloquent on Obama. She'd had the "privilege" of attending the DNC National Convention the year before and had experienced rapture: "He opened his mouth, said a few words, and the place was mesmerized. You could hear a pin drop. In part, that is because of all...

Just in case you missed Obama talking without a teleprompter (I believe) today at the Governors Meeting, here is a funny moment. Well not really funny, like you want to laugh, more like sad funny that while he was talking about education and the need for improvement, he was mentioning Title 1 funds and said "AX"... Maybe President Obama needs to brush up on his pronunciation some before giving a speech on how we need to improve....Oh and the correct word is ASK.

It is possible for two people at odds with each other on an issue to both be right. In the recent Tea Party convention, a widely reported encounter took place between editor of Worldnetdaily.com, Joseph Farah, and Andrew Breitbart over whether or not time Obama's citizenship is worthy of discussion. Farah, "Yes." Breitbart, "Not enough evidence to make it a winning strategy." I think both of these men are right and below I'd like to chart a way forward for the Tea Party, composed as it is of so many people who care about the Constitution and want to win...
