Well, the anti-Chick-fil-A thing sort of backfired, now didn’t it? Yep, the rabid gay crowd thought they were going to shut CFA down, but instead their fascist demands that Chick-fil-A’s Presidente Dan Cathy repent of his free speech actually catapulted the fast food chain into record profits. Cha-ching! I have one word for that homo […]

Americans keep behaving in ways that baffle the liberal mainstream media. Two examples figured prominently — or should have — in last week’s news. One is the runoff primary for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz thumped incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, 57 to 43 percent. […]

Every attempt to find the dumbest thing in liberal world this week just led to another, and another, each dumber than the last. Picking just one to rant about became a task of epic proportions, so two of them it is. In no particular order… A Chicken The name Adam Smith has a storied history, […]

Another day and another editorial opposing Israel in The NY Times – http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/opinion/sunday/israels-fading-democracy.html?pagewanted=all: and this one from a man, Avraham Burg, who is widely regarded as an extreme leftist who is well outside of the consensus of Israeli politics.: : Israel has long ago written the man off, and it’s doubtful anything he wrote could get any coverage […]

State Sen. Mark Leno wants California to recognize that a child can have “more than two legal parents.” So he wrote a bill, SB 1476, which, he argues, wouldn’t change the definition of a parent — for example, live-in lovers would not qualify — but would allow family court to recognize more than two parents […]

Rafalca is the name of Ann Romney’s show horse, which competed in Olympic dressage this week. Rafalca Derangement Syndrome is the name of a debilitating partisan disease that is raging among snotty “progressives” posing as populists. On Thursday, the George Soros-funded henchmen of MoveOn promoted a new TV ad that “features a talking Rafalca Romney, […]

When Justice Roberts folded and held the Obamacare law constitutional, he upheld the individual mandate. But he gave us all an individual mandate: To defeat Obama and repeal this horrible law! But the Romney campaign — and the superpacs — have not put this issue in play against Obama. We need an avalanche of ads […]

You may have never realized how tough it is for an American liberal when the Olympics roll around. On the one hand, it’s an event that naturally lends itself to patriotism because the teams are broken down by nations. On the other hand, liberals don’t like America very much and the idea of publicly showing […]

This is shaping up to be the second election in a row that’s about someone who isn’t on the ballot: George W. Bush. In 2008, Barack Obama won in no small part by turning the election into a referendum on President Bush and by claiming that a John McCain presidency would amount to a third […]

We must reject President Obama’s death verdict on America’s future. It is ailing under his policies, but it is not too late; it will recover. Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism — a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge […]

In my hometown, everyone is required to have a landline telephone so local officials can reach us with a reverse 911 call. It’s a nice idea, but it doesn’t work. In my family, we never use the landline. We talk on cellphones. Occasionally, telemarketers call. So do people looking for someone named “Danny,” but we […]

Former President Bill Clinton is slated to deliver a prime-time address at the Democratic National Convention. No doubt, he’s going to give one hell of a talk. The man is on his game, enjoying the highest favorable ratings he’s seen since 1993; a robust 66 percent of Americans think highly of the former president. It’s […]

“If the election were held today, I think it would be close, but I think we’d win. And we now have 99 days left. If I can say that every day for the next 99 days, then we’ll be able to embark on the next phase of this journey.” –Barack Obama Know why Obama is […]

There’s always some liberal going on about how important it is to fix America’s roads and bridges. That’s not exactly a shocker. After all, Americans might disagree about a lot of things that government does, but we seem to agree all the way across the spectrum that the government shouldn’t be allowing bridges to fall […]

Mitt Romney presents one enormous problem for Barack Obama’s campaign: No divorce records. That’s why the media are so hot to get their hands on Romney’s tax records for the past 25 years. They need something to “pick through, distort and lie about” — as the Republican candidate says. Obama’s usual campaign method, used in […]

The presidential election is about 100 days away. President Obama and Mitt Romney are roughly even in the various polls, with Obama holding slight leads in the key swing states. A lot can happen in 100 days or thereabouts. Napoleon, for example, went from ignominious exile at Elba to triumph in Paris to utter defeat […]

The man is on his game, enjoying the highest favorable ratings he’s seen since 1993; a robust 66 percent of Americans think highly of the former president. It’s […]

Let’s say that you own a business. And let’s say that as a person of faith, you decide to use the profits from that business to support, at least in some small part, traditional marriage. Now let’s say that your political opponents find your position stunning and launch a boycott against your business. So far, […]

“Answered prayers,” Saint Teresa of Avila is supposed to have said, “cause more tears than those that go unanswered.” Especially, I fear, the answered prayers of political scientists. These days, you hear academics and pundits bemoaning hyperpartisanship of our politics. It has never been worse, some say. This shows a certain ignorance about history. Go […]

The Obama re-election team must be in panic mode. The president is stuck in a virtual tie with Mitt Romney in some polls and behind him in others, so in desperation it has reached out to the Big Dog, Bill Clinton, for help. Clinton will speak next month at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, […]

Remember Bob Bennett? The squishy Republican senator from Utah who ran into a Tea Party buzzsaw that sliced him to pieces and left big-time-upgrade Mike Lee in his Senate seat? Well, yesterday, he had this to say on: Fox Business Network. “The Tea Party wave is receding and is not going to be as big a […]

Over at the New York Times, Peter Edelman has written a utopian column called,: Poverty in America: Why Can’t We End It?: The piece starts out reasonably enough, but as it goes on, it veers into pure Marxian nonsense. RONALD REAGAN famously said, “We fought a war on poverty and poverty won.” With 46 million Americans – […]

Nanny Bloomberg strikes again! Mayor Bloomberg has demanded that hospitals stop handing out baby formula to persuade more new mothers to breastfeed their babies. The New York City health department will monitor the number of formula bottles being given out and demand a medical reason for each one. From September 3, 27 out of 40 […]

The NAACP is doing everything possible to fight efforts to prevent voter fraud and meanwhile, a: member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee is headed to jail for voter fraud. Coincidence? While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for […]

It’s come to this: In the name of protecting parents from their own lack of responsibility and common sense, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is waging all-out war on an innovative consumer product company in New York. The vengeful, destructive feds won’t stop until the world is safe from tiny, magnetic Buckyballs — and […]
