"I don’t believe Al Gore is trying to gas or round up Jews, I don’t believe the result is going to be the same thing. Just understand that the tactic used was a device used by the Nazis. For instance, we have him on tape during the convention or during the inauguration where he was talking to 12-, 13-, 14- and 15- year olds, and he said “Look there’s a lot of things you understand instinctively but your parents don’t understand those things because they’re just too trapped in old thinking.” Well, gosh, I mean, I know he’s not going to be rounding up Jews any time soon but that’s called the Hitler Youth where you turn the children against the parents," – Glenn Beck.

The Village Voice has posted extracts from Bill O’Reilly’s novel. With audio! With O’Reilly reading! (Among his nemeses in the book, "a powerful "bitch" named Hillary and a fat "slob" named Martin Moore.)

A fearless review of his own son’s book. Who does he think he is? A Kagan?

Bad paintings of the president.

"Fortunately, it occurred to a few key Republicans and several Democrats that [Freeman] was a very odd choice for the job. The Republicans were mostly Christians, the Democrats were mostly Jewish, and it’s a shame this is important but Mr. Freeman’s friends on the left are trying to make this a religious issue," – Wes Pruden, Washington Times.

"We have a guy who ran a ponzi scheme that stole billions of dollars from people to fund God knows what. Granted the American people elected him President, but compare what Barack Obama is doing to what Bernie Madoff did and I fail to see a substantial difference beyond Obama having a “mandate” from voters and Madoff not having one. Both Madoff and Obama have put people out of work. Both Madoff and Obama have destroyed the financial health of lots of people. Both Madoff’s and Obama’s schemes have convoluted accounting schemes designed to obfuscate the criminal mismanagement of other people’s money.  The difference is that Madoff did it to powerful billionaires who are now millionaires. Obama did it to the rest of us," – Erick Erickson, Redstate.

Man, I despise these Republicans.

"The Democrats would cut back on freedom world-wide, if they could. But they can’t. So, if they realize their statist dreams in this country, the next generation of Americans will vote with its feet, just as enterprising Europeans who valued freedom did, generations ago," – John Hinderaker, Powerline.

It’s Derb and some small feathered creatures!

Spent Saturday in the wilds of Pennsylvania, killing things.  Royal fun.  Thanks to Tom for organizing the trip. [And yes, I know the hat looks ridiculous. Mrs. D. says that when wearing it, I am visible from the Moon, as the Great Wall of China is supposed to be (though that’s a fable). I know, but it’s the law.]

"Here’s where we began talking about another possibility: that Team Obama was deliberately  targeting the U.S. economy, deliberately impoverishing millions of Americans, deliberately angering our closest allies while coddling dictators like Putin and his puppet Medvedev and funneling millions to terrorist organizations like Hamas. Maybe that young person the financial journalist Jim Cramer spoke to was right and “We’ve elected elected a Leninist” whose “agenda is destroying the life savings of millions of Americans”? … What we need now is some clever legal talent to show how deliberately sabotaging the United States economy counts as Treason, a high Crime, or at least a Misdemeanor. Any takers?" – Roger Kimball.

Obama’s predecessor secretly invoked the power to suspend the First and Fourth Amendments for seven years, authorized the seizure and torture of American citizens, launched two decade-long wars of attrition, doubled the national debt, presided over the worst financial bubble since the 1930s, provided the weakest level of economic growth in decades, and left the US in the grip of the steepest depression since the 1930s. But after five weeks, it’s Obama who should be impeached? Ooookaaaay.

Steele confesses to Hannity over Limbaugh: "there was no attack on Rush". The one thing I’ve learned about Steele the last two weeks: he’s just really, really dumb.
