Who Built the Brooklyn Bridge?

How many times have you heard President Obama and his minions pat themselves on the back for their noble “investments” in “roads and bridges”? Without government infrastructure spending, we’re incessantly reminded, we wouldn’t be able to conduct our daily business. “Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the […]

Holy Warriors Of The Left And Right

Mike Huckabee doesn’t have a lot of prominent defenders, and I am not volunteering for the job. Huckabee has always struck me as a right-wing populist-progressive. A deeply religious — and by all accounts decent — man, Huckabee nonetheless has a view of the state that would have jibed almost perfectly with such forgotten titans […]

Some Race Activists Are Harming Their Own Cause

There was a mostly minority-on-minority bloodbath in Baltimore over the Memorial Day weekend, with 26 people shot and nine dead, and the main reaction we hear from the left is “racism.” How do perpetual race activists ever expect to be viewed as credible when they react to every incident, irrespective of the facts, as racially […]

Election 2016, Natural Rights and American Exceptionalism

Political reporters seem to enjoy the game of politics far more than the substance of issues. But recent Supreme Court rulings on the president’s health care law, campaign finance reform and other topics may force a fundamental issue into the 2016 election. Upcoming rulings on same-sex marriage, immigration and another health care case will add […]

Where It Counts: Huck, Cruz, Walker Lead

The conventional wisdom shows Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul strongly competing for the Republican presidential nomination. But a close analysis of the latest Quinnipiac University National Poll indicates that with strong elements of the Party’s right wing, they perform poorly in comparison to Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and, for now, Ben […]

Obama Not Offended Enough By Anti-Semitism

What to make of President Obama’s interpretation of the Iranian leadership? Challenged by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg to account for the seeming inconsistency of relying on the rationality of a regime that holds a profoundly anti-Semitic worldview, the president denied that the “venomous anti-Semitism” (his words) of the mullahs is a barrier to rational decision […]

This Bully Picks The Wrong Fight With Sikh Teen

This kid probably thought he had found an easy mark, someone he could pick on and bully without facing any blowback. Unfortunately, the bully picked the wrong fight when he targeted this Sikh teenager. Somewhere in Britain, a schoolboy thought it would be cool to bully a young Sikh. This was definitely a mistake he […]

Thousands of Unwanted Chevy Volts Sit Unsold

Under capitalism, companies produce the products that people want. Under corporatism (formerly known as “fascism,” before that word was redefined to mean “anything liberals don’t like”), companies produce the products they are arm-twisted into producing by ideologically driven government thugs. The latter is less economically efficient, as the Regime of Hope & Change keeps proving: […]

Feds Spending $52,293 To Reduce Discrimination Against LGBT Schizophrenics By Convenience Store Clerks

As we all know, there is a problem of epidemic proportions occurring in America; yes, I am, of course, referencing the rampant discrimination against homosexual and transsexual schizophrenics by convenience store clerks. Luckily, the U.S. government is spending taxpayer money to discover a way to solve this “problem.” CNS News reports: The National Institutes of Health through […]

We’re Saved: Ben & Jerry’s Comes Out With Climate Change Ice Cream
