I have an open ear to contending views. I will sit down and have an honest debate and after it is finished have no bad feelings against you. Many people however cannot do this. I find it hard to believe that people cannot have a discussion and still love each other at the end. That is one reason why some people hate politics as well. I must point out something that is interesting. Politicians put on a show for us and spew hate and opposing views at each other and at the end they are best friends leaving their offices. They are loyal friends for life. However, when these discussions are viewed by citizens and the electorates they are separated and they hate each other because of the differing views.
Recently I came across Michelle Malkin. I have seen here before (didn’t know her name) but now I really know her or so I think. In recent times she is making the media talk show rounds on television networks in a bid to promote her new book ‘Culture of Corruption’. In the book she attacks Barack & Michelle Obama and the corruption that goes on in Washington with other democratic members of Obama’s cabinet also highlighting the background of her targets.
The first clip I saw of her was on Glenn Beck, later on the Today Show on NBC, Sean Hannity and more recent The View. She (Malkin) is just able to dominate a conversation so easily because these interviewers cannot and does not have the facts to oppose. In the Today Show interview Matt just sat there and listened to her as she dominated the conversation entirely. On the contrast, the Sean Hannity’s interview was more interactive and open. The View’s interview was by far the worst. The ladies on The View were ill prepared and lackadaisical in the interview. Malkin smashed all the possible arguments one could use to oppose her making the hosts look stupid. Oh, that word again. I thought it was horrible when Malkin hit back at Whoopi for misquoting her words, that was not good.
I think she is a great debater. She articulates her points very well and she is armed with facts. That’s the main reason why she will win any debate coupled with her passion and charisma on any political issue. I tend to switch from side to side depending on the issue whether Republican or Democrat. I have to agree and believe Malkin on this issue of the corruption in the Obama administration. She discloses the factual information that proves her point.
We know what the Chicago politics is like. There are the pay for play syndrome and the many acts of corruption in public service. It is surprising that Obama rose to prominence out of a culture like this to promote transparency and change.
Obama has failed to deliver on change. He has used the same corrupt politicians in his administration and has employed so many persons to make this a huge government. The fact is the bigger the government the more failures we will see including mismanagement. Republicans stress less government and I can see through that. The less government holds in a society the more freedom and choices citizens will have.
Many people question why the addiction to Obama’s past. I believe in checking Obama’s past because in his past we have found out why he stands on certain issues. His influences are important to note and people should care about the foundations and policies one believes in. This spread the wealth around and universal health care are all Obama plans that will damage the economy. I am tired of hearing Obama inherited this mess. He campaigned to inherit it so this argument of not being hard on him is ludicrous. This is Obama’s economy, the buck stops with him.
I like Michelle Malkin though not because she is attractive. I can understand anyone who can boldly say they hate her. If I were a baptized democrat I would too. She is brutal with her comments and does not apologize for her opinions on certain issues. If there is anything I take away from her it’s her passion, the charisma and love she puts in her work. I will always appreciate the facts she brings to a debate and will be forced to deliver facts if I ever decide to oppose.
Great post Corve. I too am so tired of hearing about the ‘inherited’ lousy economy…which seems to be the main arguement of the left. I think Ms. Malkin has many questions about the Obama’s cloudy and somewhat murky past and I respect her digging into it find the truth, instead of offering lame accusations without any research.
@Steve
I find it amazing that she could produce a book like this 6 months in. Can you imagine after 4 yours of this constant inc in taxes and corruption. She can write anther book to tell us what is happening. The truth is if we should ever know what goes on behind closed doors we would vote them out faster than they went in.
Out of everyone I’ve seen on the news networks, she has definitely captivated and made more sense to me. Now that she’s making rounds in the media with her book’s success, I’m glad to see her fanbase is growing.
I would just love to see a Malkin show on the FNC.
In any case, I’m crossing my fingers in hope that the Republicans can take back the House or Senate these mid-term elections. Without opposition to the Obama administration, or for any administration for that matter, they’re simply given too much wiggle room to do whatever they want.
Marvelous post. I strongly believe that a good debate is built on the premise of agreeing to disagree. However, in the past year, I learned a lot about the reality of said premise. While, I am no angel and am sometimes honest to a fault, I have come to realize that those who don’t necessarily agree with another can be downright cruel. Lesson learned.
Moving on, I am a fan of Malkin’s. It can be said that she totally ruled. The ladies of The View who are normally overly vocal, too often vitrolic and downright ugly when it comes to discussing Obama’s shortcomings were clearly out of their league yesterday. Malkin had the facts thereby rendering any argument moot. I waited a year to see a moment like that on The View. Elizabeth Hasselback can go into labor in peace now.
LET’S INTERN ASIAN AMERICANS!!! GO MICHELLE MALKIN!!!

Who cares about due process and civil rights? Those things don’t matter at all, certainly not in a society built on the rule of law!!!
@royters
Thanks for the comment.
6 months into his Presidency! Come on. Don’t you think this/she is a bit premature in her analysis. It’s a farce regardless of your political affiliation or ones prowess for critical examination of President Obama’s “record.”
I’ll check back when she has sufficient documentation and artifacts to speak wisely.
Interesting blog.
One need not be a rocket scientist to realize that Barack Obama is a farce. Just check him out like so many others did, Malkin included.
