Today, as I was doing a: HuffPostLive segment that covered, in part, what will happen if Mitt Romney loses – some very odd comments were made. They were odd because they seemed so out of place. Is the Tea Party hurting Romney? Are Republicans being hurt by social issues? Let me tell you what this is […]

Life is a matter of having what you want and paying the price for it. The problem with politics is they leave off the last half of that… – John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) September 26, 2012   Isn’t that true? Don’t we, as a matter of course in this country, talk about things like education, medical […]

The former British Prime Minister: has this right. “If I were you, I would sort of give up on being loved,” Blair said today on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “If that’s your ambition as still the world’s greatest power, give up on it, because it’s not going to happen.” America is not, never has been, and never […]

“Despite its present popularity, the phrase ‘the American Dream’ came into common use only after the 1970s. ..But the phrase languished, probably because it seemed contradicted by experience. For most Americans, life had always been a struggle. Little was guaranteed. By contrast, Adams’s lofty vision was utopian. Now it’s become an informal entitlement.” –: Robert Samuelson […]

Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno has been publicly saying that he rolled Chick-fil-A and that it’s not going to be supporting anti-gay marriage groups anymore. For its part, Chick-fil-A seems to be ready to move past the issue, so it’s not necessarily a surprise that it released a deliberately ambiguous statement about its policy. But, when […]

This is even more hilarious than the opening of: 28 Days Later: when the animal rights activists free the enraged monkeys and are beaten to death as a reward: because it’s real. According to reports, Villalobos had told detectives that it was without fear that he leaped from an elevated train into the animal’s den. His reason, they […]

All Americans have a 4th Amendment right to be free of: “unreasonable searches and seizures”: – which is routinely violated by the TSA in our airports – but: this: doesn’t seem the least bit unreasonable. The Wells Fargo at Chambers and Hampden was robbed just before closing time on Saturday. Shortly afterwards police shut down the intersection of Buckley […]

Normally, I think Republicans tend to be too skeptical of pollsters. Down the stretch in 2008 and 2010, I found most of the polls from reputable pollsters (as opposed to newspapers and colleges) to be on the mark. That hasn’t been the case in this cycle. Once you get past Gallup and Rasmussen, most of […]

If the Palestinians living in the disputed territories are not savages, then the word has no meaning. They’re a people ruled by terrorists, who’re willing to murder their children to kill Israelis, and whose ultimate goal is to exterminate every living Jew in Israel and take their land. This isn’t just what the leaders think; […]

This sums up the philosophy and areas of concern for both of America’s political parties as well as just about anything else you’re going to run across.

Here’s the standard mainstream media spin on the: inspector general’s report on Fast and Furious. The 472-page report by the department’s inspector general concluded that Attorney General Eric Holder was not informed of the program’s controversial tactics run by the department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives until after it had been shut down in […]
