Year: 2012

In 2008, John McCain made a somewhat risky VP pick who turned out to be a winner, but otherwise ran an overly cautious, fuzzy, non-aggressive campaign with no theme that was largely based on his resume. Remind you of anyone? Like say, our current nominee who made a somewhat risky VP pick who turned out […]

Dear Todd Akin The last few weeks for you have undoubtedly been, let’s say, rather difficult since you said, If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but […]

The first time I saw Chris Christie on television, shortly after he became governor of New Jersey, my immediate reaction was, “My Gosh! A Talking Republican!” It was almost like seeing a talking giraffe or a talking salamander. Technically speaking, Republicans do talk, but talking is definitely not their strong suit. Nor do they seem […]

Last time I checked, Americans were responsible for making our own laws. We do not invite foreign nations to have a say in how we govern ourselves within our own borders. Yet if you follow what’s been going on with the United Nations this year, you know that the USA came perilously close to having […]

How can an administration that believes that Islamists need a reason to attack us apart from their default hatred of infidels conduct a coherent foreign policy? Even if its assessment were correct, how can someone who is presumably sophisticated enough to become the so-called leader of the Free World believe he can convert Islamists overnight […]

Have you noticed that the left regularly condemns alleged conservative “hate speech” but is almost completely silent on the most pervasive hate speech in the world? Take New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, for example. On Jan 8, 2011, in Tucson, Ariz., Jared Loughner murdered six people and gravely wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. That very […]

“We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the consulate to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. “And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some […]

“How could this happen?” asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others. The rioting by Muslims supposedly “inflamed” by a cheaply produced YouTube film about the Prophet Muhammad was cited as the reason, but we have […]

Sheldon Adelson: is a great entrepreneur, philanthropist and patriot. What does President Obama say about a man who grew up dirt poor, slept in the same room as his parents and whole family and has by his own hard, honest work taking risks and making many sacrifices today become one of the wealthiest men in the […]

Obama looks at Iran as a POLITICAL problem. If the Israelis bomb Iran, it might hurt his chances to be reelected. If Iran gets nukes it might hurt his chances to get elected. If there’s a war in the Middle-East, it might hurt his chances to get reelected. There’s no urgency, no seriousness, no indication […]

In Libya, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three colleagues were murdered Tuesday. Earlier that day, protesters in Egypt stormed the U.S. embassy and tore down the American flag. It was “the day the roof fell in,” proclaimed blogger and historian Walter Russell Mead. Barack Obama’s “efforts to reconcile the U.S. and moderate Islamism — in […]

I didn’t want to write this column. I definitely didn’t want to use these words. I wanted to write about something else, but after the events of this week, I had no choice. I am here to report a rape. To protect President Obama from the failure of his administration to anticipate or respond appropriately […]

Romney’s behalf in this election is a four-year-long shift of voters who no longer consider themselves Democrats and are now either Independents or Republicans. Since 2008 about 6 percent of Democrats have left the Party, and the GOP has gained about three points (the rest becoming Independents). In the aftermath of their Convention, however, the […]

It would seem that we’re now at the stage of global economic lunacy where the worldwide socialist slide is so far gone that the president of Russia is lecturing the world, and particularly Europe, about the risks of socialism. Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in Vladivostok, Russia, Vladimir Putin promoted the merits of […]

“No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money,” President Barack Obama told the Democratic National Convention as he accepted his party’s nomination in Charlotte, N.C., this month. That sentence — key in Obama’s “college affordability” agenda — says everything about this administration’s approach to selling itself […]
