Back in 2008 and 2009, the Media Research Center’s year-end awards for the Best Notable Quotables were dominated by journalists fawning over the greatness of Barack Obama. In 2008, our winner for “ Quote of the Year ” was Chris Matthews for his on-air exclamation that upon hearing Obama give a speech, “I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.” Then in 2009, one of our winners was ABC’s Bill Weir , who embarrassingly enthused over Obama‘s inauguration: “Never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket …
Occupy Santa Fe. Seriously?
Not to be outdone by their counterparts on Wall Street and Washington, a few dozen bored rich kids launched Occupy Santa Fe a couple of months back. No Valley Forge types these.
Yehzoved!
Seems like a few mourners for Dear Leader weren’t appropriately toeing the line, so they got the Nikolai Yehzov treatment. Disappearing in North Korea. Happens a lot. Historical photoshoppin below the fold. Now you see a Kommissar, now you don’t….

The Year the Wheels Fell Off
Even if my buddy Jed Babbin hadn’t been nice enough to give me not one but two plugs, I’d still urge you to read his sadly hilarious reflection on 2011 A.D. For those who love New York Post headlines, it’s a double scream.

I don’t have an excellent answer for this e-mailer. Please offer your own suggestions. Love the previous “best of” lists on conservative reads that you’ve put together. Anyhoo, thought you might be the person to point me in the direction of a good read on the Great War, WWI. Recently saw Warhorse with my daughter, who asked me what the war was about, and found myself unable to give her more than a thumbnail’s sketch on the origin of the conflict (assassination of the Archduke of Ferdinand, nation-state alliances, etc.). Outside…

Happy New Year (I Hope)
This has been an awful year in pretty much every way. I catalog some of the more notable ways in my year-in-review column here. Alas, there’s no G-File today. Due to a family emergency, I suddenly found myself on solo parent duty this week and something had to give.
Daily Kos: Racist Conservatives Sweep Slavery Under the Rug
![](http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/themes/transcript_vb3_broke/timthumb.php?src=http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/a6d6teaparty.jpg&h=&q=90&w=90&h=65&zc=1")
In the ongoing left-wing parade of charges that conservatism equals racism, add Daily Kos blogger Chauncey de Vega , who on Wednesday night hailed a Salon.com article on the avoidance of slavery talk as another opportunity to weave together “the tapestry that is historical memory, the slave-holding South, and contemporary conservatism.” “Adults who dress up in Colonial era period clothing, believe that the Constitution is divinely inspired, and take the metaphor of ‘a shining city on the hill’ as a get out of jail pass for America's shortcomings both at home and abroad, have little use for such facts,” de Vega lectured. “Selection bias, Fox News, and an embrace of a fantastical view of political and social reality, protects the …
“He needs to show that he likes people”
That from a New York Times piece painting the President unflatteringly: Mr. Obama, in general, does not go out of his way to play the glad-handing, ego-stroking presidential role. While he does sometimes offer a ride on Air Force One to a senator or member of Congress, more often than not, he keeps Congress and
How’s That Hopey-Changey Stuff Working Out For You?… Just 55.3% of Americans Between 16 & 29 Have Jobs
![](http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/themes/transcript_vb3_broke/timthumb.php?src=http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/772cobamanomics-e1325265744224.jpg&h=&q=90&w=90&h=65&zc=1")
How’s that hopey-changey stuff working out for you? In 2008 the youth vote propelled Barack Obama to the White House. How did he repay them? By giving them no jobs. CNN reported, via FOX Nation : In 2008, the youth vote helped sweep Barack Obama into office. Americans 18-29 spread the word on social media, energized energized fundraising and went to the polls. In 2012, the youth vote is moving on and throwing those omnipresent “Hope” bumper stickers and t-shirts in garbage bins. Not because of apathy. Not because another candidate generates more enthusiasm. Not because of his character. Not because they think voting is pointless. The 18-29 vote is up for grabs in 2012 because youth can’t …

The DC police have been busy since the Obama-endorsed #Occupy camp was set up in the area. One Occupy protest member was arrested for shooting at the White House. This image provided by the U.S. Park Police shows an undated image of Oscar Ortega. U.S. Park Police have an arrest warrant out for Ortega, who is believed to be connected to a bullet hitting an exterior window of the White House Friday and was stopped by ballistic glass. An additional round of ammunition was also found on the exterior of the White House. The bullets were found …
Still the Governors
Here we are, five days before the hawkeye caucii and I still have no idea who I plan to vote for when Tennessee’s turn rolls around on Super Tuesday. I cannot remember ever being undecided this late since I became legally eligible to vote. I have probably run the gambit with most of the rest of the GOP electorate in terms of at least considering voting for everyone in the field (with the exception of Paul, Bachmann and Santorum), but I have come back around full circle to where I started this primary season: no more legislators as Presidential nominees . And…

Arab Spring… Al-Qaeda Sends Jihadists to Libya to Fill Power Vacuum
“Whomever speaks ill of this flag, we will cut out his tongue.” Al-Qaeda planted its flag on the Benghazi Courthouse in October.

Unreal… Obama Administration Steps Up Surrender Meetings With the Taliban
![](http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/themes/transcript_vb3_broke/timthumb.php?src=http://www.liberalwhoppers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/34efTaliban2.jpg&h=&q=90&w=90&h=65&zc=1")
On Wednesday the Taliban blew up 3 NATO soldiers in Afghanistan. On Thursday the Taliban blew up 10 Afghan soldiers with a roadside bomb. So how does the Obama Adminstration respond to the continued attacks by the Taliban? They step up surrender talks. ( Dawn ) JWF had the story : The Obama administration hopes to restore momentum in the spring to U.S. talks with the Taliban insurgency that had reached a critical point before falling apart this month because of objections from Afghan President Hamid Karzai,U.S. and Afghan officials said. One goal…
Steven Crowder Debates the Spoiled Occupiers (Video)
This week conservative comedian Steven Crowder debated bitter Onion-affiliated comedian Lee Camp about the politics of the Tea Party movement and its similarities (anti-bailout) and very stark differences (crime, government power) with Occupy Wall Street efforts on Ric Peterson’s talk radio show on CJAD in Montreal, Canada. Enjoy From the video: OWS is POLITICALLY SCHIZOPHRENIC! It embraces opposite ends of the political spectrum at once: Anarchy & the Police State! Its Anarchy for the squatters: They disregard the law, squat on public property denying it to other citizens, disrupt business, waste our tax dollars for sanitation, security, etc. But for us,
