Year: 2012

If you missed the Democratic Convention, you didn’t miss much. It was extremely liberal, relatively nasty, and most of it was paint-dry-boring watching. The DNC was also abortion-palooza 2012. Not only did the Dems have speakers from NARAL and Planned Parenthood on the stage, speaker after speaker just went on and on about abortion. It’s […]

If you were an alien who flew in from Venus this week to catch the Democratic Convention, you would think we were in the middle of a jobs boom. Speaker after speaker talked about what a wonderful job Barack Obama has done creating jobs. Of course, not only is the reality quite different, it’s: getting even […]

If liberals had the capacity for shame, the Left would have pushed as hard to get Elizabeth Warren to drop out as conservatives did with Todd Akin. In fact, Todd Akin made one boneheaded remark while Elizabeth Warren lied about being an Indian for over a decade to collect diversity perks in the world of […]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Hide your children. This is what the progressive left’s idea of women’s empowerment looks like: For the past two weeks, radical feminists from the group Code Pink have paraded across the fruited plain in giant female reproductive organ costumes. The goal is “respect” for women’s bodies and women’s abortion rights. It’s part […]

The Democratic National Convention is an elaborate effort to sanitize a failed record that cannot be rehabilitated, even by the glib sophistry of former President Bill Clinton. President Obama has often lamented that it is not that his performance has been inferior but that he has failed to fully explain the wonders of it all […]

Mercifully, the political conventions have ended. The political press will keep buzzing over whether Clint Eastwood’s unconventional speech helped or hurt Mitt Romney and whether the snafu over Israel and God in the Democratic platform will do any lasting damage to President Obama. Republican reporters will think former President Clinton talked too long, and Democrats […]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michelle Obama connected with voters during her moving opening night speech of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. She was smart, extremely likable and the perfect spokeswoman for the American president as she talked about “the unflinching sacrifice” her parents and husband’s family made so their kids could have the “chance to […]

CHARLOTTE — A few years ago, it was fashionable for Democrats to describe themselves as “members of the reality-based community.” These days, it seems the foreclosure crisis has hit them so hard they’ve been forced to move to another neighborhood. Metaphorically, at least, they’ve set up a refugee camp here this week. In this political […]

Do Democrats favor banning corporate profits? Noted author and economist Peter Schiff: went to the Democratic National Convention to find out. In an extensive range of interviews with delegates and: attendees: at the Democratic National Convention, radio show host and free-market economist Peter Schiff found a number of people who actually support the idea. Posing as an anti-business […]

The Democratic National Convention started with the national debt clock hitting 16 billion dollars, the Dems booed God and making Jerusalem the capital of Israel in the middle, and it’s going to end with the jobless rate going up at the end of the week. They also put Sandra Fluke on stage, did everything short […]

At what point do black Americans start to ask the Democratic Party to: do something for them in return for their votes? Today’s 14.1 percent black unemployment rate is almost twice the 7.4 percent white rate, and the racial gap – after narrowing from 2005 to 2009 – has widened since the recession’s June 2009 end. […]

Apparently, Monday, Aug. 27, was opening day for Hysterical Liberal Sanctimony About Imagined Republican Racism. During this first round, The New York Times, The Atlantic and the TV networks each put in a splendid showing. I’d need a book to cover it all. HOLD ON! I HAVE ONE — Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies […]

Government is the only thing we all belong to — but, don’t worry, you won’t have to pay for any of it. That about sums up the Democratic National Convention’s case to America, a place where whatever isn’t handed to you is actually just being taken away. Democrats like to claim that Ronald Reagan and […]

The 2012 race has turned into one of Aesop’s classic fables. After each new media blitz against the no-frills Mitt Romney, a far cooler President Obama races ahead three or four points in the polls — only to fall back to about even as the attention fades. Meanwhile, the Romney tortoise, head down on the […]
