NY Daily News: Ban All Killer Weapons Because We’re All To Blame

Never let it be said that Liberals won’t take advantage of each and every tragedy to push their political agenda (too bad they didn’t push to make communism criminal, as Stalin and Mao murdered tens of millions of people) Ban killer weapons and do it right now: The logic is simple: New laws will prevent […]

“Mandatory sentences breed injustice,” Judge Roger Vinson told the New York Times. A Ronald Reagan appointee to the federal bench in Florida, Vinson was railing against a federal system that forced him to sentence a 27-year-old single mother to prison life without parole because her dealer ex-boyfriend had stored cocaine in her house.

Repeat after me: gun control isn’t the answer

The tragedy in Newton, CT should shake us all to our very core. : Of the 26 who were killed yesterday, 20 of them were children. It’s evil. : It’s grotesque. : And I’m sure many mothers and fathers were holding their children a little tighter last night. : Sadly, for twenty families, that will no longer be possible. […]

 

Rampage Shootings: It’s the Moral Decay of Society, not Guns

It should come as no surprise that the rate of mass shootings at schools and in other public places is: increasing. The surge has nothing to do with guns, which have been widely available in the U.S. for years. Gun control laws have been increasing. Instead, there is a direct correlation between the increase in violence […]

 


Warmists Really Excited Over New Global Warming Poll

Notice that I did not term global warming as “hotcoldwetdry” as usual. There’s a reason for that, which I’ll get to after the story, reported breathlessly at the Washington Post (a Warmist emailed me about this story yesterday, wondering why I hadn’t commented on it. That was due to seeing it soon before heading to […]

 

Carolyn McCarthy Tells Obama “Gloves Will Come Off” If He Fails To Act On Gun Control

Barely minutes had passed after the tragic mass murder occurred in a Connecticut school before Democrats around the country immediately jumped to proclaiming that gun control is needed now. Other than banning all “assault weapons” they’re a little short on details. What should be banned and/or controlled? Which guns? From which people? And here’s a […]

 

“Reforming California: Easier said than done”

You can say that again. For the last couple of years, some of the state’s most influential business titans and elder statesmen have taken time off to grapple with the mess in Sacramento.

Media Ignores Union Violence: Flashback to Palin’s 2008 ‘Target’ Outrage

As unions again run amuck, this time in Michigan, the Old Media establishment has steadfastly refused to report on the union’s violence, not to mention the “violent rhetoric” coming from their advocates. But this is in stark contrast to the Summer of 2011 when the Old Media was hot to condemn the supposed “violent rhetoric” […]

 

Democrats Prepare Death Blow to Family Farms

Using mere numbers, it is hard to describe the long-term devastation that will result from Obama’s reelection, but here’s a figure that offers a start: 526,421. That’s the number of family farms that could be destroyed by the death tax: New legislation that jumps the death tax to 55 percent of estates exceeding $1 million […]

 

Bible Rewritten to Comply With Homosexual Agenda

No sacrilege is off limits when it comes to chopping or stretching all aspects of Western Civilization to fit the Procrustean bed of political correctness — not even rewriting the Bible so that it does not conflict with the liberal agenda by condemning homosexuality (as the real Bible does repeatedly in the strongest possible terms): […]

 

What Makes Anyone Think Liberal Feminists Are Strong?

Emily Esfahani Smith wrote a surprisingly good piece about chivalry. Of course, it’s surprising because it’s at the Atlantic, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again. Anyway, although the meat of Smith’s excellent piece is about chivalry, she said something about feminism that caught my eye. After the women’s liberation movement […]

 


5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2)

My latest Townhall column is called, 5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2). Here’s an excerpt from the column. Greek mythology, with its tales of Zeus, Apollo and Hera doesn’t have a thing on the mythology that liberals have created around themselves. There’s Bubba, the President who can feel your pain, BO the […]

 


Steve King Calls Benghazi 10 Times Bigger Than Watergate

Steve King, Iowa Republican, said Wednesday that the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the […]

 


Unemployment Benefits for Illegal Aliens In California? Absolutely!

  Sure,: this may sound insane even for California,: but there’s a good reason to support it. Legislation introduced Tuesday would give about 400,000 undocumented immigrants in California the same rights as citizens to unemployment benefits and various other government services. Very expensive unemployment benefits for non-Americans who are illegally in a state that’s headed towards bankruptcy? […]

 

Never Forget The Rich Have Options Because They Certainly Won’t Forget It

One of the foolish assumptions of the Left is that we can raise taxes sky high with no consequences whatsoever. This shows a rather remarkable lack of understanding of human nature — but, of course, if liberals understood how the world really works, they wouldn’t be liberals. Here’s a little lesson about human nature for […]

Conservative blogger and Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin has reaped a whirlwind of hate tweets from fans of hip/hop artist The Game. : It’s due to the cover art of his new album Jesus Piece, which features a depiction of Christ that some consider blasphemous. : Malkin had a post about it on her […]

 

Obama’s Electronic Medical Records Scam

Here’s more evidence that government “cures” are inevitably worse than the “diseases” they seek to wipe out. Buried in the trillion-dollar stimulus law of 2009 was an electronic medical records “incentive” program. Like most of President Obama’s health care rules, this top-down electronic record-sharing scheme is a big fat bust. Oversight is lax. Cronyism is […]

 

Federalism could be the solution to GOP branding problem

To understand why Republicans have a “branding problem,” you first need to understand how the system is rigged against conservatives. Such is the schizophrenic dysfunction of our politics: We constantly demand “conviction” politicians who will “do what’s right” and then condemn them, often in the same breath, for being unwilling to put aside their conviction […]

 

Republicans Do Have Leverage; Use It!

At this stage of the fiscal cliff pseudo negotiations, do the American people have any idea what the Republicans stand for other than to protect the wealthy and cut Medicare and Social Security to harm the sick and aged? People constantly invoke Ronald Reagan, but one thing is certain and very relevant: If Reagan were […]

 

Health Care Law Is Still Fighting For Its Life

Having survived the Supreme Court and the November elections, President Obama’s health care law now faces an even bigger hurdle: the reality of making it work.
