Politics: lies and the lying liars

The New Neo Posted on August 8, 2012 by neoAugust 8, 2012

Anyone who studies history and humanity knows about the technique of the Big Lie. The summary version of the idea of the Big Lie is that propaganda works, and truth has little to do with its efficacy. In fact, the … Continue reading →

Obama at Columbia: the “lost” years in more ways than one

The New Neo Posted on August 7, 2012 by neoAugust 7, 2012

Now that Reid has escalated the attacks on Romney for not releasing a decade of his past tax returns, the issue of Obama’s secrecy about his Columbia years has resurfaced. The cry is: “Want Mitt to release his tax returns? … Continue reading →

Planning ahead: Obama and the suburbs

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2012 by neoAugust 1, 2012

I’ve been one of many people who have long said that in an Obama second term, unconstrained by the need for re-election, Obama would be free to undertake the more radical parts of his agenda. And it won’t really matter … Continue reading →

Cruz and Obama

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2012 by neoAugust 1, 2012

Ted Cruz and Barack Obama: compare and contrast. They are both the children of mixed-race (if you count Cuban or Hispanic as a race) couples, although Cruz’s parents stayed together and Obama’s did not. Assuming Cruz wins election to the … Continue reading →

Blatantly lying about blatant lies

The New Neo Posted on July 27, 2012 by neoSeptember 3, 2012

[Hat tip: Drew M. at Ace’s.] Jonathan Chait offers a couple of howlers in his piece at NY Magazine, beginning with the beginning: Mitt Romney’s plan of blatantly lying about President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech is clearly drawing … Continue reading →

Obama’s looking more and more like…

The New Neo Posted on July 25, 2012 by neoJuly 25, 2012

…a deer in the headlights. But a very smooth and audacious deer in the headlights who tells us “who are you going to believe, me and my shills in the MSM or your lying ears?” The problem is, of course, … Continue reading →

Romney’s going abroad

The New Neo Posted on July 23, 2012 by neoJuly 23, 2012

I don’t know why Howard Portnoy, who wrote this piece at Hot Air, is so negative about Romney’s forthcoming trip to Europe. I think it sounds smart, with Romney both imitating Obama (visiting Europe and the Middle East as a … Continue reading →

Obama and the economy: you didn’t break it…

The New Neo Posted on July 23, 2012 by neoJuly 23, 2012

…but by now you own it. At least in part. Although Obama didn’t break the economy, it’s now three and a half years since he took office, and the American people appear to think he should have put more of … Continue reading →

Do the American people have common sense?

The New Neo Posted on July 23, 2012 by neoJuly 23, 2012

Sometimes I think this election will boil down to the answer to the above question. Do they or don’t they? If they do, the relentless spin of the left will not matter. And the efforts of the Obama forces to … Continue reading →

What did Obama mean by “that” in “you didn’t build that”?

The New Neo Posted on July 19, 2012 by neoJuly 19, 2012

Commenter “Gringo” makes an interesting point about Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remark: A big part of the problem is that ∅bama said something that could be interpreted several ways. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a … Continue reading →

Romney and those gloves

The New Neo Posted on July 18, 2012 by neoJuly 18, 2012

They’re off. But I’m not at all sure they were ever really on. [ADDENDUM: You might be interested in watching Romney’s entire speech in Irwin, Pennsylvania yesterday, which was a response to Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remarks.] [ADDENDUM II: … Continue reading →

Obama’s campaign m.o.

The New Neo Posted on July 16, 2012 by neoJuly 16, 2012

[NOTE: I’ve been referring lately to Obama’s history of nasty and underhanded campaigning, but I thought it would be a good idea to recycle a portion of a post I wrote in October of 2008 that explains the phenomenon in … Continue reading →
