Year: 2012

All that America should say to Sheldon Adelson, a self-made billionaire who grew up poor and today donates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to charity is Thank You. This great patriot has a family foundation which devotes hundreds of millions to charities, offers tens of thousands of people a chance to prosper, and truly: is […]

With yesterday’s Fed decision and press conference, Chairman: Ben Bernanke finally and decisively laid his cards on the table. And confirming what I have been saying for many years, all he was holding was more of the same snake: oil and bluster.: Going further than he has ever gone before, he made it: clear that he will be permanently […]

An incendiary video about the prophet Muhammad, “Innocence of Muslims,” was blamed for the mob attacks on our embassies in Libya and Egypt (and later, Yemen). In Libya, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered. The video stirred some passion here in America as well. Over at MSNBC a riot of consensus broke […]

Wazzup, President Obama? You’ve got room on your schedule to schmooze hip-hop radio DJs, debate Nicki Minaj’s rap lyrics, hobnob with big donor celebs Jay-Z and Beyonce, and hang with Hollywood gossip TV anchors. _ We see your passion on the golf course, basketball court and beach. We see you late night on Letterman and […]

When the Evil Empire was up and running, Americans used to have a good laugh at Pravda. How in the world could the Soviet people believe the tripe coming from those hacks? Well, the: mainstream media in this country has become every bit as corrupt as Pravda: and the reporters can’t even claim that they’re controlled by […]

There are a lot of great arguments against Obamacare, but the best one is simply looking at what happens in other nations where the government has taken over health care. Do we really want: this: happening in the United States? Thousands of elderly people are having to put up with deteriorating sight because they are denied cataract […]

Embassy security? Obama has $40,000 a plate fund raisers to attend. You can’t expect Obama to care about something like that. Unfortunately, when the guy in charge doesn’t care and the people in his administration are so naive that they think everyone loves us because Barack Obama is President, things slip through the cracks. Well, […]

Who would have thought that God and Jerusalem would become controversial issues at this year’s Democratic National Convention? Previous Democratic Party platforms had mentioned God and referred to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After both were initially missing from this year’s platform, someone apparently realized that this was likely to raise questions about Democrats […]

The liberal media gave the ceaselessly political President Obama a pass for campaigning instead of performing his presidential duties when they were most needed, while they castigated Mitt Romney for being political when he was the only one of the two acting presidential. To be sure, Obama is a political candidate for re-election to the […]

The post-convention bounce that led to jubilation in the mainstream media has exhausted itself, and Romney is coming back strongly. Having shown Obama as much as four points ahead of Romney in the immediate aftermath of the conventions, Rasmussen now has the president down to a one point margin: Obama: 46 Romney: 45. Instead, the […]

“Forward” is a perfectly appropriate slogan for progressives. Progress suggests forward or upward motion. That’s why revolutionaries and radicals as well as liberal incrementalists have always embraced some derivation of the forward trope. So ingrained are these directional concepts in our political language, we often forget they are mere geographic metaphors applied — and often […]

The health care debate is a great example of why Americans hate politics. Both Republicans and Democrats pursue their plans with ideological zeal and reckless disregard for the truth in hopes of winning 51 percent of the vote. Voters hold their nose and choose but would rather have their leaders search for consensus. That would […]
