Dr. Ben Carson: from hero to villain in one easy step

The New Neo Posted on March 22, 2013 by neoMarch 22, 2013

As a brilliant and tremendously successful black man who emerged from humble beginnings in beleaguered Detroit to become an eminent and pioneering neurosurgeon, you’d think Dr. Ben Carson would be a hero to the black community and to liberals. And … Continue reading →

In the meantime…remember Benghazi?

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2013 by neoMarch 21, 2013

Lindsay Graham does: We have not heard from the people who went through this debacle who were there on the ground. I guarantee if this had been a good news story we would have heard from them the next day. … Continue reading →

Politics…

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2013 by neoMarch 21, 2013

…makes strange bedfellows. For example, I have little doubt that these two guys playing nicey-nicey absolutely detest each other. But hey, Obama finally made it to Israel. And he’s trying to reassure Netanyahu that he’s got his back:

Budget passes House: so what?

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2013 by neoMarch 21, 2013

The House has passed (221/207) what’s known as the “Ryan budget,” after the Democratic proposal failed to garner enough votes. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I think it’s good that Republicans did something. On the … Continue reading →

Here’s my advice for the Republican Party:…

The New Neo Posted on March 20, 2013 by neoMarch 20, 2013

…don’t take “helpful” advice from columnists on the left about what you should or should not do. They are, by definition, concern trolls. And I’m not at all impressed by articles like this one about how Obama’s popularity has fallen. … Continue reading →

“Scott Walker opens up about White House ambitions”

The New Neo Posted on March 16, 2013 by neoMarch 16, 2013

That’s the headline of this Politico piece. Pul-ease. “Opens up”? As in, “Gives the usual non-committal, cover-all-bases, completely uninformative answer to a question from a reporter fishing for a story”? …[W]hen pressed about his White House ambitions, the Wisconsin Republican … Continue reading →

Cutting entitlements is a hard and thankless task…

The New Neo Posted on March 12, 2013 by neoMarch 12, 2013

…and most of the Republicans in Congress don’t really seem to want to do very much of it. There’s a reason for that: human nature. Such cuts are unpopular with people. Ever since the 1930s, this country and Europe have … Continue reading →

A conservative house divided

The New Neo Posted on March 6, 2013 by neoMarch 6, 2013

I’ve written about this topic before, and will probably do so again. I’m writing about it today because this piece by DrewM at Ace’s really resonated with me: The internecine fighting we see today on the right isn’t simply on … Continue reading →

The press has won

The New Neo Posted on March 2, 2013 by neoMarch 2, 2013

Back in the earlier half of the 20th century right through my childhood years and up to the Vietnam War and the cultural explosion we call the Sixties, the press (with some more liberal pockets) was predominantly—at least compared to … Continue reading →

Take the Civic Literacy Exam

The New Neo Posted on February 27, 2013 by neoFebruary 27, 2013

[Hat tip: Maetenloch.] If you like to test yourself, here’s one that’s kind of interesting. It doesn’t take too long, either. I don’t mean to brag (actually, yes I do) but I got 31 out of 33 correct, which is … Continue reading →

Hagel confirmed

The New Neo Posted on February 27, 2013 by neoFebruary 27, 2013

No surprise whatsoever that Hagel has been confirmed, but it’s still bad news. I had predicted from the start that Hagel would be confirmed, and there was never any reason to waver from that assumption. The Republicans in Congress seem … Continue reading →

The sequester: Bob Woodward say Obama’s a liar

The New Neo Posted on February 23, 2013 by neoFebruary 23, 2013

No, he doesn’t use the l-word. But he says it nonetheless, and in the WaPo. Of course, the days when Bob Woodward could make presidents shake in their shoes are long gone. Not sure anybody cares now. There’s much more … Continue reading →
