How did we end up in a world where Big Gulps are being banned in New York while the welcome mat for potheads is being rolled out in Colorado? How is it that cigarette smokers are pariahs, while people smoking weed are being cheered? This is despite the fact that potheads are almost universally recognized […]

Obamacare had the worst debut since the Titanic. The website was non-functional for weeks, the back-end still isn’t fully built out, whole states have had minimal numbers of people signing up, countless Americans have been cut back from full-time work to part-time, millions lost their insurance, and Obama has been illegally changing the law every […]

1) It’s inherently dishonest: In many ways, Obamacare is a typical liberal program. Unfortunately for Barack Obama, there are two key differences. The first is that the Affordable Care Act was implemented on a short enough timetable for people to remember the promises that were made about it. Furthermore, because it is such an enormous […]

If things are going badly, we’re told the GOP should compromise on what it believes in to start winning elections again. If things are going well, we’re told we must turn a blind eye to the GOP abandoning its beliefs so as not to ruin the great year we’re going to have. The establishment Republicans […]

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.” — C.S. Lewis ”One of the overriding points of Liberal Fascism is that all of the totalitarian ‘isms’ of the left commit the fallacy of the category error. They all want the state to be something it […]

One of the oldest rules in psychology and economics is that if you reward a behavior, you can expect to see it more often. In America, we reward victimhood. That makes us feel good about ourselves and in some cases, it helps improve the lives of the people who’ve been victimized, but there’s a dark […]

1) He’s helping to repair America’s strained relationship with Al-Qaeda by sending them weapons in Libya. 2) Parents all across the country can now point to Barack Obama’s performance when they’re explaining to their children why they shouldn’t use drugs. 3) He won the Nobel Peace Prize. Hello! 4) Thanks to healthcare.gov, “New Coke” no […]

It’s frustrating enough that the Republican Party shoots itself in the foot over and over again, but it’s particularly aggravating that the ones who do it always seem to think of themselves as the smartest people in the room. Well, if they’re so smart and know what we have to do “to win,” then why […]

“I wouldn’t be surprised if President Obama learned Osama bin Laden had been killed when he saw himself announce it on television.” — Jon Stewart What’s the point of having a President who learns about everything his administration is doing from the newspapers, just like everyone else? When do you start to ask, “Is this […]

1) The more democracy we have, the better. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.” This is why our Founding Fathers made this country a republic, not a democracy. They believed that the people should have their say, but also that certain underlying […]

If you were a football coach and one of your players looked for a reporter at half-time so he could criticize other players on the team, complained that your strategy is all wrong, and generally told everyone listening that the team deserves to lose, do you think he’d be on the bench the next week?

But, how many conservatives are actually willing […]
