When Ronnie Met Barry
Rhymes With Right —
Texas Rainmaker offers us a look at how a debate between the great Communicator and the second-rate neophyte currently in the Oval Office might sound. I began blogging a bit over four years ago to find an outlet for my grief at the death of the greatest president of my lifetime. This just reminds me how far the country has descended away from its founding principles in the two decades since Ronald Reagan left office.
Reagan & Obama; their own words

Very well done, via Texas Rainmaker:
Michael Ledeen: Obama's Policies Aren't Socialist...They're Fascist
Wizbang —
Many bloggers (including me), analysts, and commentators have described Barack Obama's policies as socialistic. Michael Ledeen begs to differ. He argues they aren't socialistic because he's not recommending the abolition of private property. Instead they're fascist ...

Reagan/Obama debate: What would it sound like?
Sister Toldjah —
Jason Smith gives us a pretty damn good idea here, by linking up to a video that respectively uses both Reagan’s and Obama’s words:
Now that’s real leadership versus “leadership.”
Powerful.
Gradual and Silent Encroachment

A post by Pat
James Madison warned us early. Reagan warned us recently. Time is running out.
Madison 18th century: Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation.
Reagan 20th century: History will record with the greatest astonishment those who have the most to lose did the least to prevent it's happening.
Obama 21st century: We are going to remake this ...

Reagan = Free Markets, Self-Reliance, Individual Freedom
Obamessiah = Government-Controlled Markets, Complete Dependence, Collectivism
It’s that simple.
Thanks, TB
RIGHTWINGSPARKLE — "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed. -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author Source: Atlas Shrugged, Francisco's ...
Ronaldus Maximus Debates Chairman Zero
Moonbattery —
How could America have fallen so far, so fast as to degenerate from Ronald Reagan to an empty Marxist punk in less than a generation?
On the positive side, if Jimmy Carter could create a big enough backlash to give us Reagan, four years of Comrade Obama should be sufficient to bring James ...
Obama Picks Supreme Court Nominee Based On Affirmative Action Standards, Not Judicial Ability
Flopping Aces —
Richard Epstein rakes Obama over the coals for the reasoning behind his SCOTUS pic:
Evidently, the characteristics that matter most for a potential nominee to the Supreme Court have little to do with judicial ability or temperament, or even so ephemeral a consideration as a knowledge of the law. Instead, the tag line for this appointment says it all. The president wants to choose “a daughter of Puerto Rican parents raised in Bronx public housing projects to become the nation’s first Hispanic justice.”
Obviously, none of these factors disqualifies anyone for the Supreme Court. But affirmative action ...
