Year: 2012

Over the last few weeks or so, various elements of the mainstream media have reported that, aside from gay marriage, Romney continues to support much of the gay agenda. He does not talk about his positions on gay issues but if questioned, he invariably comes down on the liberal side. Indeed, Romney has come out […]

The Republican establishment is pulling out all the stops to try to keep Newt Gingrich from becoming the party’s nominee for President of the United States — and some are not letting the facts get in their way. Among the claims going out through the mass media in Florida, on the eve of that state’s […]

In the intense heat of the present, it is easy to forget even the relatively recent past, but it seems to me that this GOP primary season is more acrimonious than the past few, probably because the stakes are so high. When I’ve noted that this is the most important presidential election of our lifetimes, […]

Occupy Oakland is aptly named. When forces occupy a city, they know that occupied turf is not their home. They can maraud, loot, vandalize, abuse the locals, and then leave. They can treat other people’s property as their own. The occupiers don’t have to clean up after themselves. They don’t have to worry about paying […]

The Muslim world is threatened by religious fanaticism. The Western world is threatened by secular fanaticism. Both seek to dominate society and to use state power to do so. Both seek to eliminate the Other — for Islamic fanatics, that means non-Muslim religions and secularism; for secular fanatics, it means Christianity and virtually any public […]

I think the mainstream media and Washington elite think the majority of voters just fell off the turnip truck. But the South Carolina primary and other current voting trends show otherwise. The MSM are working double time to get us to forget about the unprecedented results of the South Carolina primary, but they are a […]

One of the memorable slogans from the Reagan administration was “peace through strength.” Reagan believed a strong defense was a safeguard against enemy attacks and the best hope of victory should America go to war. President Obama is taking the opposite approach. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently announced cuts in defense spending of $487 billion […]

The hand wringers on the left who don’t think America is worth defending have continued to come up with reason after reason why we should sit on our hands and let the terrorists take potshots at us. I ran across an editorial by Zafar Siddiqui in the StarTribune that seemed to sum up their arguments […]

The United States has embarked on a worldwide “War Against Terrorism”. Many people are questioning how this war will be fought and if it will be won. There are 4 major components to a worldwide war on terrorism: intelligence and diplomacy, the homefront, winning hearts and minds, and the military. Let’s look at each of […]

What an action-packed three years it has been since the last presidential election! With the advent of the Tea Party movement in 2009, the ever-encroaching realm of big government collided with the constitutional principles espoused by patriotic Americans in an unprecedented fashion, and We The People found our voice. We assembled from coast-to-coast in peaceful, […]

We got mixed signals from a turbulent political week. Barack Obama seems to be enjoying an uptick in polls — up toward, but not quite at, 50 percent approval. It’s a reminder that he can expect to benefit from Americans’ desire to think well of their presidents and from the reluctance of many voters to […]

To the Osama Bin Ladens and Talibans of the world, we are the enemy. Many of these people are educated in special religious schools that teach hatred of the United States and Israel along with the Koran. In Palestine, small children are taught that about the glory of being suicide bombers along with their ABCs. […]

It’s tough to be a Democrat these days. President Bush has stratospheric approval ratings, the country seems to have tilted rightward after 9/11, and the Democrats seem compelled to defend their patriotism every time they nervously issue the mildest criticism of George Bush’s foreign policy. While those are significant obstacles to Democratic success, they pale […]
