The Generic Ballot Numbers Point To Democratic Devastation In November

Posted on by John Hawkins

Typically, if you ask the public whether they’d prefer a Democrat or Republican in office, they tend to say they prefer Democrats. Now, those numbers don’t quite translate at the polls because Republican voters are more likely to vote. That’s why, for example, a poll of adults always looks several points better for the Democrats […]

Bill Maher: “Real” Black Men Are Thugs

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite portraying themselves as champions of minorities, liberal disdain for black Americans continually seeps through. Why do liberals back Affirmative Action?

Comparison: Liberal Reaction Vs. Conservative Reaction To The Israel/Flotilla Story

Posted on by John Hawkins

Honestly, I don’t find the Palestinian people to be the least bit sympathetic. They’re backwards, genocidal, hyper-violent, sad sack Nazi wannabes led by terrorists who would happily murder every Jew on the planet if they could get away with it. Then there are the Israelis. They’re a tiny Western:  democracy surrounded by backwards savages who […]

 

Amnesty Or Doing Nothing: Why Are Those Our Only Options?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Over at the WAPO, they’ve done an incredibly dishonest editorial about immigration that unfortunately mirrors so much of the debate, EVEN DRACONIAN measures like the one adopted in Arizona are not going to make 11 million immigrants already illegally here in this country magically disappear, let alone address this country’s dysfunctional immigration system.

I Have A Challenge For Every Liberal Politician In America

Whatever else you want to say about the Democrats during this cycle, you can’t say they haven’t gotten a lot done. Moreover, Barack Obama may be a pathological liar, but he wasn’t lying about the change. That promise, ambiguous though it may be, he kept. Yet, what do we hear? The Democrats seem to want […]
