I commented on my Facebook page earlier today that I enjoy a good debate. Here’s the problem. Often, an argument with a liberal results in their use of hyperbole, emotion and the creation of a logic vacuum. Let me give you an example of how logic and facts have no place in a liberal argument. […]

Above the post update: It’s all a joke? Dude just tried to smoke on a plane? 9Wants to Know has learned, the passenger had spent a lot of time in the bathroom and when he came out, an air marshal on the plane smelled smoke and asked the person what he had been doing. The […]

Secretary Arne Duncan presented District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty with an Easter basket filled with 3,000 tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll. There was one catch: don’t give them to private or parochial school students. And homeschoolers, don’t even think about it. You get the lottery like everyone else. Oh, and the […]

As of right now, 12 states have filed suits against the federal government for their unConstitutional requirement that all Americans must purchase health insurance. Never before has the federal government compelled Americans to purchase a product, regardless of the reason. So where does it get this power? That’s what CNS News asked Rep. John Conyers, […]

Tom Hanks has brought more attention to the stories of World War II than one man can be expected to bring. However, a recent article in Time magazine makes me wonder what he is going to do with stories from the Pacific Theater. The Pacific, his new 10-hour epic about the Pacific theater in World […]

A writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, Neil Steinberg, has a problem with anti-abortion legislators refusing to allow the health care bill to go forward with language that makes tax dollars available for abortions. Hard to believe, I know. In order to illustrate his disdain with the opponents of the health care bill, Steinberg decides to […]

When I first read the story of 12 year old Dylan Campbell, I was saddened for the family, and for Dylan. But I didn’t see how responsible the hospital was for his condition. See, this is the first explanation, as written at CBC.ca: Dylan Campbell had the routine tonsillectomy in November and was released. However, […]

I remember pulling into the high school parking lot and seeing guns hanging in the back windows of pickups parked there.  But that was a time long ago, before Columbine, the death of common sense and the rise of zero tolerance. Today it’s common knowledge that you don’t bring a gun to school.  Gary Tudesko, […]

This whole “racism” thing is getting tired.  Chris Matthews, the man who gets tingles when he hears President Obama speak, not only used the term “teabagger” repeatedly in this clip, but compounded his stupidity by claiming every tea party protestor was white. Every one of them: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news […]

The United States has always had the best weapons systems in the world. The billions of dollars spent in the Department of Defense have insured America’s dominance in this field. Currently, two systems are being tested that I find simply amazing. The first one is lasers. The Air Force recently test-fired its Advanced Tactical Laser […]

William Shatner made a return to the Tonight Show to read a few choice excerpts from Gov. Sarah Palin’s book, which you can win in the 2009 All American Christmas Contest or purchase by clicking the picture in the sidebar. He did read from the book, beatnik style, and was about to leave the stage […]

I hate to break this to you, but the whole goal of the cap and trade plan isn’t to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide. It’s to level the economic playing field. Not my words, by the way. Those are the words of former French President Jacques Chirac. EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstroem said the […]

It’s time again for us to show our Christmas spirit and give away some gifts to one of our readers. This year is an especially great year for the All American Christmas. This year’s prize package includes: A 90 minute DVD titled “Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny,” hosted by Newt and Callista Gingrich S. Fred […]

I don’t know if New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is simply ignorant, or if he was simply lying, but he said something this Sunday on ‘This Week” with George Stephanopoulos that I have to discuss. He said: KRUGMAN: There is tremendously more money in being a skeptic than there is in being a supporter. […]

Three Navy SEALs are charged with assault for allegedly fattening the lip of a wanted terrorist. Ahmed Hashim Abed is wanted by the United States for being the “mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.” When he found himself in United States custody, he told the […]

In the video below you will see the mother of a Massachusetts public school student, an 11 year old girl. The mother is testifying before the “Joint Education Committee in support of the David Parker Parents Rights Bill (H406 — written by MassResistance) and against the Planned Parenthood compulsory sex-ed / homosexuality / abortion counseling […]

Jeffery Dahmer killed his first victim in 1978. Over the next 13 years, he would kill 17 people. When police finally arrested Dahmer, they found a human head in the refrigerator. Not long after that, they found three more in the freezer, along with a human heart. The police would learn the depths of one […]

As a parent of five children, I understand the responsibility I have for each of them. I am responsible for their health and welfare and everything that goes with it. I am responsible for good decision making that keeps them from danger. Which is why I find it repulsive that a father who not only […]

Where do you put your important documents? I know quite a few people who use a safety deposit box to hold very important items, feeling it is a safer place to hold things they don’t want to lose. But what if the state changes the laws concerning when property is considered “abandoned?” Over the years, […]

CNS News has been asking a simple question to anyone in Congress they can get a minute with to ask. It’s simple. “Federally, if you look at it from a federal standpoint, what area, specifically of the Constitution, would give Congress the power to mandate an individual to have health insurance?” When they asked Nancy […]

The White House and the rest of the Democrats want us to understand that despite the high unemployment rate and despite the fact that America has lost 2.7 million jobs since the Stimulus Plan was signed into law, the Stimulus Plan has saved or created over a million jobs. After spending $160 billion, we have […]

When I heard today that Harry Reid and the other looters in the Democrat party were going ahead with a public option in their “health care” plan, something became clear to me. There is a distinct difference between the Republican party and the Democrat party. I know this isn’t an epiphany to some who might […]

It was the Doomsday scenario. If we didn’t pass the Stimulus Bill, America as we knew it would be destroyed. But, if we had the courage to trust a man named Barack Obama and follow him into the pits of deep, deep deficit spending, we would find ourselves in a land were jobs were as […]

There was a story I wrote about earlier in the year about a woman who was asked to take down her American flag on Memorial Day because others in the office found it offensive. Most of the comments supporting the action said it was because the flag was a 3×5 foot flag, which was kind […]

I was browsing through my thousands of articles in my Google Reader when I read a post from Rob Port over at Say Anything. He was writing about President Obama’s first visit to New Orleans. Rob asks a good question, “Why isn’t New Orleans rebuilt yet?” The answer, which liberals don’t want to hear, is […]

I happen to be a staunch advocate for a simple tool, which I believe would prevent or solve a majority of the issues the world faces. It’s something that just about everyone can use, but some find themselves not only unable to wield it, but prohibited by procedure. It’s common sense. For example, had common […]

Global warming is the impending doom we have to stop before we all die horrible fiery deaths. At least, it was back in 2006 when Al Gore released “An Inconvenient Truth.” Three years later, it’s “climate change” that’s the future boogeyman. Well, ski resorts are loving the climate change. It seems it’s good for the […]
