Year: 2012

“If the election were held today, I think it would be close, but I think we’d win. And we now have 99 days left. If I can say that every day for the next 99 days, then we’ll be able to embark on the next phase of this journey.” –Barack Obama Know why Obama is […]

There’s always some liberal going on about how important it is to fix America’s roads and bridges. That’s not exactly a shocker. After all, Americans might disagree about a lot of things that government does, but we seem to agree all the way across the spectrum that the government shouldn’t be allowing bridges to fall […]

Mitt Romney presents one enormous problem for Barack Obama’s campaign: No divorce records. That’s why the media are so hot to get their hands on Romney’s tax records for the past 25 years. They need something to “pick through, distort and lie about” — as the Republican candidate says. Obama’s usual campaign method, used in […]

The presidential election is about 100 days away. President Obama and Mitt Romney are roughly even in the various polls, with Obama holding slight leads in the key swing states. A lot can happen in 100 days or thereabouts. Napoleon, for example, went from ignominious exile at Elba to triumph in Paris to utter defeat […]

Former President Bill Clinton is slated to deliver a prime-time address at the Democratic National Convention. No doubt, he’s going to give one hell of a talk. The man is on his game, enjoying the highest favorable ratings he’s seen since 1993; a robust 66 percent of Americans think highly of the former president. It’s […]

Let’s say that you own a business. And let’s say that as a person of faith, you decide to use the profits from that business to support, at least in some small part, traditional marriage. Now let’s say that your political opponents find your position stunning and launch a boycott against your business. So far, […]

“Answered prayers,” Saint Teresa of Avila is supposed to have said, “cause more tears than those that go unanswered.” Especially, I fear, the answered prayers of political scientists. These days, you hear academics and pundits bemoaning hyperpartisanship of our politics. It has never been worse, some say. This shows a certain ignorance about history. Go […]

The Obama re-election team must be in panic mode. The president is stuck in a virtual tie with Mitt Romney in some polls and behind him in others, so in desperation it has reached out to the Big Dog, Bill Clinton, for help. Clinton will speak next month at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, […]

Remember Bob Bennett? The squishy Republican senator from Utah who ran into a Tea Party buzzsaw that sliced him to pieces and left big-time-upgrade Mike Lee in his Senate seat? Well, yesterday, he had this to say on: Fox Business Network. “The Tea Party wave is receding and is not going to be as big a […]

Over at the New York Times, Peter Edelman has written a utopian column called,: Poverty in America: Why Can’t We End It?: The piece starts out reasonably enough, but as it goes on, it veers into pure Marxian nonsense. RONALD REAGAN famously said, “We fought a war on poverty and poverty won.” With 46 million Americans – […]

Nanny Bloomberg strikes again! Mayor Bloomberg has demanded that hospitals stop handing out baby formula to persuade more new mothers to breastfeed their babies. The New York City health department will monitor the number of formula bottles being given out and demand a medical reason for each one. From September 3, 27 out of 40 […]

The NAACP is doing everything possible to fight efforts to prevent voter fraud and meanwhile, a: member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee is headed to jail for voter fraud. Coincidence? While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for […]
