Posted on November 3, 2011November 2, 2011 by Cal Thomas

Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton allegedly trolled for women, using state troopers as his procurers. As president, Clinton engaged in oral sex with Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. He lied about it under oath and was impeached, though later acquitted by the U.S. Senate. Other sexual accusations tainted Clinton, including one that he raped one […]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Eagles last Tuesday granted a request for a preliminary injunction that temporarily blocks a provision in North Carolina’s new abortion-restriction law that would require women seeking an abortion to view an ultrasound image of their womb within four hours of the procedure.

Republican Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana last weekend won re-election with a staggering 65.8 percent of the vote in a state that remains heavily Democratic.

“Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust.” — Queen Forgive me if I don’t join the State Department, American officials and world leaders in their euphoric Hallelujah Chorus celebrating the demise of Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi.

Vote For Obama Because He’s Black

Posted on October 20, 2011October 20, 2011 by Cal Thomas

At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said, “…There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there is the United States of America.” Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words. Since then, Obama has divided us […]

To Live or Die ‘On the Floor’

Posted on October 18, 2011October 18, 2011 by Cal Thomas

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sometimes sounds as if she has cast aside any attachment to reality. Responding to a bill co-authored by Rep. Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican, that would prevent federal funds from going to pay for abortions under the slowly unraveling health care law critics call “Obamacare,” Pelosi said that if Republicans vote […]

Politics and Religion 2012 Version

Posted on October 13, 2011October 12, 2011 by Cal Thomas

It was said of Al Smith, a Roman Catholic, that if he won the 1928 presidential election he would take orders from the Vatican and not uphold the Constitution. John F. Kennedy famously confronted that anti-Catholic prejudice in a 1960 speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. Kennedy said in part, “I believe in an […]

The Innovation Deficit

Posted on October 11, 2011October 11, 2011 by Cal Thomas

The death of one of the great innovators of our time, or any time — Steve Jobs — brings a question asked by Pete Seeger in another context. To paraphrase: Where have all the (creative) people gone; long time passing. Jobs and fellow computer innovator Bill Gates represent if not a vanishing breed, then at […]

Regrets? They’ve Had a Few

Posted on October 7, 2011October 7, 2011 by Cal Thomas

It’s Supreme’s week in Washington and I don’t mean the Motown group once led by Diana Ross. The Supreme Court is back in session and the nine justices will consider a number of polarizing and controversial issues, not the least of which will likely be the constitutionality of “Obamacare” and its mandate that every citizen […]

Christie’s Right Decision

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Cal Thomas

New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie probably had more suitors than Portia in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and yet in the end he made the right decision not to run for president. It was the correct decision on several levels. First, the media, which loves to build people up in order to tear them […]

Messiah Complex: The Sequel?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Cal Thomas

Listening to some establishment Republicans grousing about the field of GOP presidential candidates should serve as a warning. Republicans, if they are not careful, are in danger of catching the same virus that infected Democrats in 2008. That would be a messiah complex, the belief that one man (or woman) can deliver us from our […]
