After George W. Bush defeated Al Gore at the ballot box and in a rare show of fortitude for a Republican, didn’t stand by haplessly wringing his hands when Gore tried to lawyer his way into the White House, liberals were outraged. Sure, Gore had never been ahead at any point, but OBVIOUSLY voter fraud […]

Forward is not a destination. If you’d asked Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or their supporters if they were taking their nations forward, they’d have undoubtedly said “yes.” Mussolini? Forward. Napoleon? Forward. Genghis Khan? Forward. Of course, Churchill, Thatcher, and Reagan would have said “forward” as well. So, that’s why it’s important to ask what difference […]

How is it that the party of Lincoln, a party that led the way in opposing slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynching, the KKK, poll taxes, led the way on integration and voting rights for black Americans, and percentage wise, voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act in greater numbers than Democrats is now only getting […]

As a capitalist, it’s tempting to say that box-office receipts are a better judge of a movie’s worth than Hollywood award ceremonies. However, that ignores the sad reality that Americans sure do love some crummy movies. We’re not even talking “good crummy” either, like a fun zombie or chop socky flick; we’re talking “bad crummy.” […]

When did… 1) ….Educated people become so unfamiliar with small business that they began to believe that a company will practically build itself as long as the government provides roads, street signs, and police? 2) …Freedom change from something we should all be seeking to something we’re supposed to be terrified to face without the […]

Have you heard of “Negro Spotting?” It’s a liberal game on Twitter. Libs see a black person at the Republican National Convention and they laugh and laugh at the hilarity! Why, there aren’t a lot of black people there! That must mean Republicans are racist! Ha, ha, ha! This actually tells you a lot about […]

“Middle-class society is being strained to the breaking point not, as Marx predicted, by ever-increasing misery but by ever-increasing affluence.” – Eric Hoffer “Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.” – Victor Hugo It goes without saying that it’s better to be rich than poor. However, that doesn’t mean that affluence doesn’t have its own […]

1) America’s credit rating would get so low that it would force President Dennis Kucinich to petition the UN for donations to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and his newly implemented 350 weeks of unemployment plan. 2) There wouldn’t be a Pledge of Allegiance said in schools, no one would sing the Star Spangled Banner […]

1) Obama took 700 billion dollars out of the Medicare program and put it into his wildly unpopular health care program. This is despite the fact that even Obama has admitted, Medicare in particular will run out of money, and we will not be able to sustain that program no matter how much taxes go […]

Ladies, have you ever had a person that you care about but he has this annoying habit that grinds your nerves? Since you’re an open and honest human being, you want to talk to him about it, but the one time you alluded to it before, he got all huffy about it? Now, you don’t […]

1) Joseph Goebbels is often credited with saying, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe.” Not only was Goebbels right, his comments are at the core of the Democratic Party’s messaging strategy. 2) There’s a reason why being right isn’t enough in our political system. […]

Let me be perfectly frank: I didn’t pick this topic on my own and I never would have. My editor came up with it. He liked the idea of my writing something that dug deeper into my life. I’m not exactly sure why that is since after all, I’m a professional writer, not a UFC […]

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” — Barack Obama So far, the message of the Obama campaign essentially seems to be, “I’m unable to effectively govern because Republicans won’t do everything I want. Re-elect me so I can deliver more of the same. Oh, also Paul Ryan wants to […]

Far too much of the campaign season so far has revolved around trivia. That’s largely Barack Obama’s fault. Obama wants to see more of Mitt’s tax returns. Who cares? Obama’s rich, but Mitt’s really rich; so we should hate him because he has more money than we do — or something. After Mitt left Bain, […]

“A man does what he must – in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures – and that is the basis of all human morality.” – John F. Kennedy There’s a lot more to being a man than being 18 years old with the right equipment downstairs. In fact, there […]

If every American was a Christian conservative Tea Partier… 1) …There would be fewer regulations, lower taxes, a business-friendly environment, and a much smaller government that would lead to considerably stronger economic growth and job creation. In fact, we’d probably have to dramatically increase the number of work permits we hand out to foreign workers, […]

1) One of the most harmful myths spread by movies is that it’s the person who wants it more who finds a way to win when the chips are down. That’s actually very misleading. Heart might give you an edge versus an equally matched opponent, but preparation mows down heart 99 times out of 100. […]

“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” — Ronald Reagan ”You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.” — Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride 1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at […]

How often do you hear someone other than a paid spokesman say something nice about corporations? Very, very seldom. It’s all “offshoring,” “They’re not paying their fair share,” “They’re not giving their employees enough,” — and on and on it goes. Even when corporations do something good, they usually don’t get so much as a […]

If you had a time machine, what could you do with it? The possibilities are endless – especially if we assume that if we ever manage to create technology as sophisticated as a time machine, we’ll also have a work-around for language differences and ways to keep from passing on diseases to previous generations. Of […]

“Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.” — Thomas Sowell We like to think of children as innocent little angels. Of course, that’s only true in the sense that there aren’t any three year olds who’ve stabbed their cousins […]

You can have it all! It’s a feminist mantra that has been repeated so often: that it has become a cliche. Of course, women aren’t the only ones that want to “have it all.” Men have been chasing that same will-o’-the-wisp since time immemorial. After all, who wouldn’t want to have all his heart’s desires? Who […]

1) It’s all the golf you can play and as many free vacations as you want. The teleprompter tells you what to say to the crowd and if anybody makes a joke about you, someone calls him a racist! 2) You get a Nobel Peace Prize just for showing up. 3) No matter how much […]

The more completely a person, group, or organization embraces liberalism, the less virtuous it becomes. It’s almost like a mental sickness in that respect. People or groups who are lightly infected can soldier on without having it eat them alive. However, the deeper the sickness goes, the more it changes them. Eventually the liberal disease […]
