Rise of the Obamabots
It was tempting, when Obama's Democrats swept into office in 2008, to think that the bad old days were coming to an end. I wasn't looking for any favors, just a swing of the political pendulum back to the Clinton years when it was still OK to be a liberal. But I didn't count on the cult of personality around Barack Obama.

John McCain Now Embraces America's Sworn Enemynew
During the 2008 election, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said that our military intervention in the Arab world was the primary motivation behind terrorist acts like 9/11. Why did Paul say this? Because Osama bin Laden said it. Because the 9/11 Commission report said it. Because CIA intelligence said it. Yet when Paul explained this, fellow candidate and eventual Republican nominee John McCain excoriated the Texas congressman and suggested that he was indirectly giving aid and comfort to the enemy, Al-Qaeda.
