Religious Right, R.I.P.?

“The obituary of the Religious Right has been written many times before. The defeat of Pat Robertson’s GOP primary bid in 1988, the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, his re-election in 1996, his acquittal by the Senate in the Lewinsky sex-and-lies scandal — all of these were causes for self-congratulatory gloating by opponents of […]

Religion-of-Peaceniks v. Alcohol and Property Rights

One of the great things about multiculturalism is that it offers us a taste of what it would be like to live in faraway parts of the world. For example, a restaurant owner in Tennessee is finding out what it would be like to live under a theocratic dictatorship like they have in Iran and […]

Barack Obama Is The Anti-Lincoln

Isn’t it ironic that our first black President is callously selling future generations of Americans into debt slavery for his own political gain? This cartoon sums it up extremely well, What Lincoln worked tirelessly to preserve, Barack Obama is working tirelessly to ruin. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for the cartoon.

Creating the Great American Potato Famine?

McDonald’s just agreed to pursue pesticide-free potatoes for its restaurants. The anti-technology zealots pushing this organic move had better hope the company drags its feet–or we risk having the first McDonald’s in history with no French fries. Less than a decade ago, the Danish government’s high-level Bichel technical committee concluded that an organic-only mandate would […]

Something there is that doesn’t love a wall

[ Yes, mixed metaphors can be a downer, but how else to express the silence of America’s Prophetic Voice, Jimmy Carter, regarding the other “apartheid fences”? As Soccer Dad points, out, whether in Belfast, Arabia, “and now, in Brazil,” they all keep out the unwanted, and are quietly ignored after initial bursts of interest by […]

Cap-and-Trade and Health Care – What’s The Status?

Some relatively good news and some bad news. The good news has to do with “cap-and-tax” as the WSJ article cited refers to “cap-and-trade”: Tennessee Republican Lamar Alexander called it “the biggest vote of the year” so far, and he’s right. This means Majority Leader Harry Reid can’t jam cap and tax through as part […]

N. Korea launches missile; Obama shows us what smart diplomacy is

So, the inevitable happened: North Korea launched a missile. Of course, they’re claiming it was just a “satellite” being launched into orbit. Right. North Korea defied international warnings and sent a rocket hurtling over the Pacific on Sunday, a launch President Barack Obama called an illicit test of the regime’s long-range missile technology that threatened […]

Obama Cool With U.K. Talking To Hezbollah

I’m sure this is something that he himself wants to do: ‘US OK with UK’s overture to Hizbullah’ The Obama administration is “comfortable” with the British government’s attempts to engage Hizbullah, a senior British diplomat asserts. Britain likens the attempt to engage Hizbullah, launched quietly this year, to London’s outreach to political leaders of the […]

The Chris Matthews Comedy Hour

Yesterday when “climbing” the Stairmaster, they had MSNBC on at my gym. I had quite a laugh watching Chris Matthews. He was talking about the President’s European trip. And while he didn’t quite get a thrill up his leg, I was wondering if they kept drool buckets on hand at MSNBC. He reported the trip […]

Can it happen here?

In an earlier post, I directed your attention to the incredibly disturbing footage of Pakistani village authorities brutally whipping a teenage girl before a throng of men, because she violated Sharia norms by being seen in public with her father in law. The footage is disturbing on many levels, not the least of which is […]

Levi Johnston has no class

With his appearance on the Tyra Banks show, Levi Johnston showed that he has absolutely no class whatsoever. He stuttered his way through a conversation about sex with Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, including whether or not the governor knew and if they used protection. Levi Johnston not only says he practiced safe sex “most of […]

The Mess Harry Reid “Inherited” from Himself

It seems to be the standard Democratic practice now to blame the economic crisis on George W. Bush as if Democrats’ hands were perfectly clean and they had done everything possible to prevent this from happening. Last month, the President said he “inherited” the budget deficit at the same time he was making plans to […]

So…. I’m Just Curious…

…are we now going to be treated to a reprise of the infamous “War is not the answer – for every terrorist we kill, we create 10 more who hate us!!!!” school of international relations?

Dude, Where’s My Country?

Congress seems determined to dispense with our freedoms. And to think these are the folks who called Bush a fascist: Steve Aquino at Mother Jones asks, “Should President Obama have the power to shut down domestic Internet traffic during a state of emergency? Senators John Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) think so.” I’ve […]

Why They Hate Sarah Palin So Much

As Barack Obama continues to serve out Jimmy Carter’s second term, the nation has over three years to figure out what it really thinks about Sarah Palin. As of now, I think it’s fair to say nobody feels lukewarm about her. At all. You love her or you hate her. Much has been said about […]

‘Give ‘Em an Inch . . .’

“Over and over, we find ourselves fighting what is essentially a defensive battle against the forces of organized radicalism who insist that ‘social justice’ requires that we grant their latest demand. We know, however, that their latest demand is never their last demand. Grant the radicals everything they demand today, and tomorrow they will return […]

Russia’s New Found “Comrade”

A couple of paragraphs from a story about Obama and Russia’s Medvedev which seem pretty telling to me: Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as “my new comrade” Thursday after their first face-to-face talks, saying the US president “can listen” — even if little progress was made on substance. The Russian president contrasted Obama as […]
