The main stream media seems to agree that Cam Newton, Quarterback of the Superbowl bound Carolina Panthers, “has plenty of detractors outside the Carolinas. In fact, he might be more criticized than any other player in today’s NFL.” Cam Newton appears to concur with this assessment.   Now I don’t know about that. There are plenty of […]

With the onslaught of snow that buried much of the east coast this past weekend, I recall a prediction of just a few years ago. It was part of an article from 2006 which was updated in 2012, entitled “20 THINGS YOUR GRANDKIDS MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE.”   The article began with: “So […]

For years the refrain we’ve been hearing from the left has been to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Of course Gitmo isn’t just a prison – it’s a major military operational hub for the Caribbean theater, Central and South America. And frankly I’m not sure whether the left wishes to just close […]

Most Americans, save for the various teachers unions, complain about the pitiful state of public education in our country. The Left complains about the lack of funding – too much is apparently still not enough – and the Right complains of oppressive regulation.   Education used to be a relatively straight forward and easy process. […]

The Atlantic published an article entitled “Do Republicans Have Any Real Reason to Worry about Gun Confiscation?”  It’s written from the perspectives of an American gun advocate, an Australian living in the U.S. and an anti-gun nut.   Well, I think we all know where I come down on the subject, as everyone should if […]

What Obama State of the Union show would be complete (complete disaster that is) without a diatribe on Climate Change and further ruination of the coal and oil industries with his call to “accelerate the transition away from dirty energy.” However climate weenies lamented that, “there was no laundry list of bold programs and budding proposals this […]

The American Revolution was brought about and won by about a third of the population of the colonies. Roughly one third advocated for it, a third opposed it and a third didn’t care.   And it’s been this way ever since. This can be seen in any presidential election, where about 60% of eligible voters […]

USA Today wrote http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/01/10/syrian-refugee-state-of-the-union-address-guest-of-first-lady/78523490/ on Sunday that “President Obama is taking a dramatic step to show he opposes Republican efforts to slow or halt the admission of refugees over terrorist concerns: He has invited a Syrian refugee to attend his State of the Union Address.” Is the refugee going to be seated next to the empty “Gun Violence” chair?   […]

Obama has begun his final year full court press to secure his legacy. He knows the clock is ticking and he must undo as much of the Constitution as possible prior to his exit. I believe one reason he appears to be pushing so hard is that he believes Hillary Clinton, one way or the […]

I guess Americans aren’t taking to the Transgender agenda quite the way leftists had hoped. I guess they thought Bruce Jenner would just trot (or skip) out in a dress, everyone would fawn over him and revel in our collective enlightenment. Some did – most didn’t.   Well, I suppose it’s just not happening as […]

Conservative geeks like me, and a lot of you, listen to our fair share of talk radio. Often times commercials during these various radio broadcasts repeat, either several times during the same program, or the sponsor will purchase ads on a number of conservative talk shows.   One such ad which has been repeated lately […]

Federal Express (FedEx) was simply following federal law. But a surviving spouse disagrees.   A homosexual (lesbian) couple lived together for many years. One of them was employed by FedEx. She was with the company for 26 years where she accumulated a decent pension. The couple was together for about the same amount of time. […]

A woman called into the Rush Limbaugh radio program http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/01/04/caller_my_republican_friends_and_relatives_won_t_vote_for_trump a couple of days ago. She declared that, “I’m a conservative. My family members are conservatives. Several family members said they will not vote if Donald Trump gets the nomination. I’m concerned the same thing will happen like the last election.” She insisted that it wasn’t her saying […]

To my reckoning, there are three professions people of below average intelligence can get into and still make a boat load of money. These are politics, acting and professional sports. I’m certainly not begrudging anyone who can make a very good living from a given talent, providing they just stick to what they do best […]

Yes, Cruz is the real deal. No need to take my word for it. Just look and listen. It’s as Limbaugh says: the left and the establishment right will always tell you who they fear the most.   Sure, they hate both Trump and Cruz. The hatred for Trump is understandable, from their standpoint. He […]

Hollywood liberals are some of the most rabid and ill-informed leftists on the planet, and another one has come out, to prove just that. This time it’s Samuel L Jackson – you know – the black guy that’s in 90% of the movies made in the last 20 years.   In an interview with Hollywood […]

The Obama administration actually wants us to believe that the “Department of Homeland Security https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/us-plans-raids-to-deport-families-who-surged-across-border/2015/12/23/034fc954-a9bd-11e5-8058-480b572b4aae_story.html (DHS) has begun preparing for a series of raids that would target for deportation hundreds of families who have flocked to the United States since the start of last year, according to people familiar with the operation.”   Really – […]

Newsflash: America has a homeless problem. Actually, many are calling it a crisis or an epidemic. No matter which superlative one cares to use, I think we can all agree it’s a large problem and each year liberals are in charge of government, the numbers of homeless increase.   Every major city in the country […]

I’m sure most of us remember the heart-wrenching saga of Terri Schiavo in Florida. In March of 2005, Terri, after doctors pronounced her to be in a permanent vegetative state, despite the fact that she required no life support in the form of breathing tubes or such, her estranged and total bag of crap husband […]

It cased you missed it, and it was easy to do, Lindsey Graham has pulled out of the race to become our next president. I’m sure it was a difficult decision, being that he was beginning to pick up momentum. He was after all, gaining in the polls – at last I checked, he had […]

I’d like build upon the article I wrote yesterday entitled, “Stop Making Excuses for Islam.” http://commonconstitutionalist.com/current-events/stop-making-excuses-for-islam/  In it I expressed my frustration over the constant refrain from Islam apologists that “That Is Not Islam,” every time a Muslim expresses his intolerance of something outside his “faith.”   I am reminded of the idiotic remark said […]

The republican “Democracy Project” was on full display in Tuesday night’s debate. The establishment candidates from Bush to Kasich and Christie all espoused virtually identical views on the Middle East and particularly the handling of Bashir al-Assad in Syria. But now you count newly crowned establishment wunderkind, Marco Rubio as having the same policy preference. It […]

For quite some time others and I have been saying that the flood of refugees into Europe and America was for a variety of reasons, but least among them is the war raging in Syria and Iraq. Yet this is the sole reason given by the left both here and abroad. These poor Muslim refugees […]

There has been much debate as to why Obama is insisting upon allowing Muslims to flood our country, while he seems bent on excluding Christians. At the same time is the continued bewilderment as to why Obama has cozied up to Iran – a country who has openly pledged to destroy us. Actually, now that […]

Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee passed what they mindlessly named a “Sense of the Senate” resolution calling for no religious test for immigrants entering this country. The bipartisan vote was 16-4. It was offered up by Vermont Statist Senator Patrick “Leaky”  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/740748/posts Leahy ( D-Vt.) as an amendment to a bill, S.1318, the Nuclear Terrorism Conventions […]

Yesterday Secretary of Defense Ash Carter was on Capital Hill testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Among his many dimwitted quips was: “We won’t hesitate to confront ISIS.”   Now if I were on the Senate panel, I may have fallen out of chair in both laughter and disbelief over what I just heard. […]

The president says: “ISIL is not Islamic,” despite the fact that Islamic is in their name. “ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple,” he adds.   Before I go any further, let me clarify Obama’s steadfast insistence on using the term ISIL instead of ISIS. ISIS is the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, […]

So, Mr. President – ISIS is contained and on the run, are they? Well, I agree with half – the on-the-run part. They are on the run – running all over the globe.   First though – remember this?   A report in the Wall Street Journal cited a German Defense Ministry official http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/08/14/the-troubling-truth-behind-isis-chemical-weapons-claims who said […]

This morning Glenn Beck said his security analyst and former CIA officer Buck Sexton at the Blaze confirmed that Homeland Security held the official release of San Bernardino radical Syed Farook’s name for several hours to give enough time for the terrorist’s family along with Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR to hold a press conference. […]

This mass shooting was definitely radical Islamic terrorism. Than can be no question anymore. Whether Syed Farook was radicalized here or abroad is immaterial at this point. It certainly should become relevant as the investigation continues, but he and his wife did kill in the name of Islam. That’s a fact. It wasn’t Christianity, Judaism, […]
