Obsequiousness Accidentally Crosses Over Into Ridicule

Posted on by Dave Blount

It wasn’t easy, but establishment moonbats have finally managed to top naming the overpriced, barely functional coal-powered Volt as Car of the Year. They may even have topped giving the Nobel Peace Prize to a groveling appeaser who is highly unlikely to leave the world a more peaceful place. It’s hard to believe they will […]

 

Because President Truman Didn’t Finish the Job in North Korea in 1950……

Posted on by Jane Jamison

If General Douglas MacArthur had gotten his way 60 years ago, North Korea would still be rebuilding its cities and would be unable to tread past a red-hot band of nearly-eternal radiation on one of its borders.:  The decision to not grant MacArthur power to do what he thought best, and instead to fire him, […]

Taxes, government dependency and happiness

Posted on by Bookworm

Two interesting things rolled across my desk today, interesting because they address the same topic — dependence on Big Government — but reach diametrically opposite conclusions. The first is a Dennis Prager column that examines why American conservatives are happier than American liberals. This isn’t just Dennis’ opinion, by the way. Instead, several recent polls […]

Posted on by Kathleen McKinley

Tragically, this is all too often a completely erroneous assumption. If you want to see a story that illustrates that, well wow, you really couldn’t do […]

ADL is Showing its Progressive “Junk” Again, Issues Statement Supporting START

Posted on by Jeff Dunetz

I am of the opinion that the START treaty is bad for America.

As John Podhoretz said last week, the proposed treaty creates […]
