Why the Fear of American Exceptionalism?
Newscom Talk of American exceptionalism enrages some liberals.

Obama said he would allow insurance companies […]
New York Times Photo Outrage
November 14, 2013 20:07 by Simon Plosker The New York Times‘ story supposedly on the fatal stabbing of Israeli soldier Eden Atias is a graphic illustration of all that is wrong with the newspaper’s Israel coverage. For starters, it is ten paragraphs down before we even learn the details of the horrific attack on Atias […]
Do You Believe Obama This Time? How About Now? …Now?
Once upon a time, Obamacare was “settled” law that was “here to stay.” Or so President Obama said—before Obamacare failed to survive contact with reality.
