Posted on by Chuck Norris

When New York churches no longer can meet in public school settings, a federal court orders a Rhode Island public school to remove a prayer banner that has been posted for more than five decades (and it complies), the federal government mandates that Catholic institutions cover abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives and sterilization (at no cost to […]

 

Christian Conservatives Guard Religious Liberty

Posted on by David Limbaugh

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution contains two clauses addressing religious liberty: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” It’s a shame that in their modern misguided zeal to read the first clause as mandating a complete separation of church and state, liberals do […]

Obama’s NLRB Continues to Do Big Labor’s Bidding

Posted on by Lonely Conservative

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is supposed to be an impartial arbiter of labor issues, but under President Barack Obama, the agency has become another arm of Big Labor.

Chop Licking: How Obama Uses Falsehoods to Advance His Policies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week we all got a great lesson in how the left promotes a lie to make Republicans the enemy and this time President Obama was a chief participant.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Jeremy Lin, the famed nouveau New York Knicks basketball icon, must be about tired of this foolishness at this point.

Liberal Thinking: It’s The Fault Of The People Helping Greece That They’re Broke

Posted on by John Hawkins

Steven Lendman over at Energy Bulletin wrote an extraordinary column about Greece’s debt woes. It’s extraordinary because of the childlike way it completely disconnects Greece’s problems from anything done by well, Greece… Predatory bankers make serial killers look good by comparison. Their business model creates crises to facilitate grand theft, financial terrorism, and debt entrapment. […]

 

Every State Should Be Working On A Doomsday Bill

Posted on by John Hawkins

This country is on track to go bankrupt and default on its debt within the next 10-15 years unless something changes drastically. It doesn’t have to happen, but the Democratic Party seems to be adamantly opposed to doing anything to stop it because it would mean spending less money. So, it’s probably a good time […]

 

Why Men Are Becoming Wimpy, Video Game Playing Slackers Who Don’t Want To Get Married

Posted on by John Hawkins

Ross Douthat and Matt Yglesias are going back and forth on why so many men have turned into emasculated, worthless sacks of X-box playing crap. But the world Yglesias is describing is a world where the short-term rational self-interest of both sexes – the understandable female desire to have children without taking on the burden […]

An Interview With Congressman Tom Tancredo (R – CO)

What Have You Done for Me Lately, GOP?
