Nothing symbolizes the Utopianism of our times like both liberals and some conservatives calling for us to cut off aid to the Egyptian military, because of the widespread killings in what is becoming a civil war in Egypt. Such utter lack of realism from the left is not new, but hearing some conservatives saying the […]

A few weeks ago in Part 1, I finished by discussing how Thomas Jefferson distinguished the U.S. from other countries in asking, “What but education has advanced us beyond the condition of our indigenous neighbors?” But is today’s public education system what he and other Founding Fathers were imagining it could be back then? The […]

What will it take for the country to wake up to the destructive ravages of liberalism — and finally do something about them? Liberals continue to masquerade as exclusive proprietors of compassion, but their policies stubbornly undermine their possessory claim. Indeed, Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America is nothing less than America’s decline and destruction in […]

A few weeks ago a human-interest story from South Africa was reported internationally. As described in the Wall Street Journal this past Friday: “On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while yachting off the coast of South Africa, hit a reef, capsizing their boat. As the boat threatened to sink and they scrambled to get […]

Everyone has a theory as to why former congressman and not-so-former tweeter Anthony Weiner is running for New York mayor. My new take is: Weiner really is running to be a co-host on CNN’s “Crossfire,” which will return to cable TV next month after an eight-year hiatus. After all, Newt Gingrich will be one of […]

This Congress has been criticized for not passing many laws — and praised for that in some quarters. And it’s true that in quantitative terms its productivity has been low. A major case in point is transportation. Neither the Democratic-majority Senate nor the Republican-controlled House has passed a reauthorization of what was once known as […]

At least 40 Churches across: Egypt: have been burnt and destroyed by Muslim Brotherhood supporters in under 24 hours. Coptic Christians all over the world following the current violence and events in: Egypt: with lifted hearts praying to God that He has compassion on the beloved people ofEgypt: and alleviates the distress of terrorism and terrorists’ attacks. Christians all over […]

“What do you mean, Americans have gotten ruder?” “Poll after poll has been showing it in recent years. Nearly 70 percent of respondents to an Associated Press poll said people are ruder than they were 20 or 30 years ago.” “Why would that be?” “Lots of reasons. For starters, life is moving faster these days. […]

“Washington is an island surrounded by reality,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, likes to say. In an effort to inject some reality into the Beltway, Grassley introduced an amendment to the Affordable Care Act to require that members of Congress and their staff get their health care from the new Obamacare exchanges. “Congress should live under […]

The head of one of the most prestigious state university systems in America should have one chief qualification: She should be ideologically inclined toward openness in education for the benefit of the students. Political bias permeates the higher education system throughout the United States, indoctrinating students into the canon of leftism. A huge number of […]

To anyone who has been following the really big stories in the news — and by big, I don’t mean the silliness surrounding IRS, EPA, NSA, ObamaCare or Benghazi — it has become obvious. This is a racist country. Indeed, it is a horribly racist place. It’s not like it used to be, with Klan […]

Its a dangerous time in the Middle East, and the need for peace has never been greater. Right now, there are those who are pushing for peace by dividing Jerusalem with part of this Holy City being controlled by the Palestinians a move that many believe would put Israel at further risk from terrorists. Stand […]
