Do you ever realize how much we take for granted? We live in the greatest country in the world, one that shines the light of freedom for all the world to see. That light continues to shine brightly thanks to the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. And just to be here, to […]

In the most unsurprising news ever, the United States is now beloved by the world again. Everyone celebrate! The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll. It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, […]

If you were going to a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, how would you think you should act? What would you wear? Certainly you wouldn’t walk in all upbeat and positive, and you wouldn’t be popping the cork off a bottle of champagne. Likewise, you wouldn’t walk in wearing a Hawaiian print shirt or a […]

This should be theoretically devastating news for Democrats in Congress, and the Republicans along with them. But while the GOPers are learning their lesson, albeit at about the speed that Ted Kennedy took in reporting the accident at Chappaquiddick, Democrats just have no idea. They either don’t get it or they don’t care. Obama’s poll […]

After watching the video of Pvt. Bergdahl yesterday, I had a lot of questions. Without knowing details of how he was captured, it’s hard to make much of a judgement on this. He’s making statements about wanting all of the troops to come home, and it just seemed a little odd to me. Why would […]

My newest American Issues Project column, Obama the car salesman, examines the techniques Obama has used since taking office to get his bad legislation passed. From the stimulus package to the omnibus bill to cap-and-trade and Obamacare, he uses the same tired old tactics. And rather than using savvy political salesmanship, he’s gone for a […]

A new Rasmussen poll is out, an one that should be giving the Democratic party reason to be nervous. Republicans are now the party that voters trust on 8 out of 10 issues, and they’re quickly gaining on the other two. Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral […]

Obama and Pelosi like to brag about how this is the most ethical, transparent Congress EVAH!, but that’s far from the truth. Bills aren’t available far enough in advance that Americans can read them before they’re voted on. Obama certainly hasn’t gone over any bill “line by line” to make sure no earmarks make their […]

CNN interviewed Sarah Palin about her resignation as governor of Alaska, and to me, the interview was very telling. It’s a little long, but check it out: Embedded video from CNN Video Now, I could be reading into this all wrong. But it seems to me that the media and the Left finally won. They […]

By shooting off seven ballistic missiles this morning. North Korea fired seven ballistic missiles off its eastern coast Saturday, South Korea said, a violation of U.N. resolutions and an apparent message of defiance to the United States on its Independence Day. The launches, which came two days after North Korea fired what were believed to […]

Sarah Palin just held a live press conference from Wasilla, AK stating that she is resigning her post as governor. WOW. Gov. Sarah Palin will resign her office in a few weeks, she said during a news conference at her Wasilla home Friday morning. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will be inaugurated at the Governor’s Picnic […]

Over two hundred years ago, a group of patriots who believed in freedom and equality for all risked execution for treason in order to build a nation on the principles they believed in. This was culminated in a Declaration of Independence being signed on July 4, 1776. And 233 years ago today, a man who […]

Iran has erupted into full-scale chaos. Former Iranian President Rafsanjani has been slaughtered and his family arrested. Thousands of protestors crowded the capital yesterday, where police met them with batons, water cannons, and… tear gas. Injured protestors are being arrested and detained when they go to hospitals for treatment, to the point where they have […]

Yesterday was the sixty-five year anniversary of D-Day, the day that US, British, and Canadian forces stormed the beaches at Normandy. Over 150,000 of them charged off the ships; over 10,000 were lost. Many of the dead were never recovered. June 6, 1944 marked a turning point in WWII. Until that day, there wasn’t much […]

Objective and non-biased, my ass. Yet we get criticized for sarcastically calling him the Obamamessiah. Is it because we haven’t yet seen the light and accepted Obama for the savior that he is? Probably. Hat Tip: Newsbusters Cross-posted from Cassy’s blog. Stop by for more commentary or follow her on Twitter!

If his words don’t humble you, then nothing ever will. I especially was touched by his comments about what he expected from his government in return for his service. He didn’t serve in WWI and WWII because the government asked him to; he served because his country needed him. He didn’t want or expect anything […]

A new un-shocking study showed us that people are happier as they age, that men are happier than woman, and that Republicans are happier than Democrats. Read it: Americans grow happier as they age, surveys find. And a new Pew Research Center survey shows the tendency is holding up as the economy tanks. Happiness is […]

The MSM droolfest has reached a fever pitch in this new article. If you’re feeling kind of queasy today, you might want to skip reading it. And Michelle recommends it… but only if you feel like losing around 50 IQ points. Here’s a few highlights: Barack Hussein Obama is the nation’s first hip president. … […]

So, the inevitable happened: North Korea launched a missile. Of course, they’re claiming it was just a “satellite” being launched into orbit. Right. North Korea defied international warnings and sent a rocket hurtling over the Pacific on Sunday, a launch President Barack Obama called an illicit test of the regime’s long-range missile technology that threatened […]

With his appearance on the Tyra Banks show, Levi Johnston showed that he has absolutely no class whatsoever. He stuttered his way through a conversation about sex with Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, including whether or not the governor knew and if they used protection. Levi Johnston not only says he practiced safe sex “most of […]

Michael McGill is a sick individual. He’s been convicted of repeated sexual assaults against children, and has written letters begging to stay in prison so that he won’t harm anyone again. Yet, he’s still going to be released? A convicted sex offender due to be released Saturday from prison after serving 11 months warned in […]

The latest questionable post on Feministing is not what I would have initially expected upon reading the first line, especially considering my experience with the man-haters of feminism. But when I dove deeper into the post, it started making more and more sense… at least, from a liberal standpoint. I think we need to stop […]

Our brilliant new Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made a pilgrimage to Mexico, where she visited the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. While there, she asked a really stupid question: During her recent visit to Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected stop at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe […]

This argument is not an old one, and always seems to resurface every now and then. All the same, I still find it a pretty disgusting idea. JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society. Porritt’s […]

Must be because he’s so tired. Now, what he says isn’t that embarassing, although facing the challenging challenges that we face to our face is not exactly eloquent. It’s more notable that he’s quite obviously lost, looking nervously around to the left and the right with a panicked expression on his face as he tries […]

If you ever watch Keith Olbermann, you know that he loves to bash people for what he apparently sees as an inferior education. And I guess he can, because he went to an Ivy League school. Oh, wait, Ann Coulter busted that wide open: Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent “Ivy League” education, […]

The idiotic left is trying to attack Bobby Jindal over Hurricane Katrina. What they’re angry about is this statement from Governor Jindal, back when he was Congressman Jindal: During Katrina, I visited Sheriff Harry Lee, a Democrat and a good friend of mine. When I walked into his makeshift office I’d never seen him so […]

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and Vice President Joe Biden ask the traitorous, backstabbing Senator Arlen Specter why he even bothers pretending to be a Republican: It was supposed to be a meeting, not a roast. But at the inaugural session of Joe Biden’s Middle Class Task Force … … in Philadelphia Friday, one guest was […]

I’ve been going through the Senate Republican phone list this morning, calling various Senators to urge them to vote “no” on this Porkzilla plan. The first person I called was Senator Mel Martinez (who I, incidentally, met last year). The DC office line was busy, but I got right through on his Florida line. I […]
