Ouch!: Conservative Activist Star Parker: Obama Committed “Verbal Rape” on Christians at Prayer Breakfast (Video)

From The Last Tradition Star Parker, a fine woman I may add, just broke it down to how inappropriate President Obama’s comments at the national prayer breakfast were. Gateway Pundit reports conservative author, columnist and activist Star Parker told Sean Hannity on Monday that President Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast last week amounted […]

Conservatives Like Me Are Not The Stereotypes Liberals Say We Are

Am I a flag-waving, meat-eating, God-fearing, gun-toting capitalist? You bet I am. Is the Left right about the other stereotypes it puts out there about conservatives like me? Not so much. I have friends who are black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian and Jewish. I’m cheating a little bit by mentioning the Indian one because for all […]

Measles, Vaccines and Autism

The current controversy over whether parents should be forced to have their children vaccinated for measles is one of the painful signs of our times. Measles was virtually wiped out in the United States, years ago. Why the resurgence of this disease now? The short answer is that false claims, based on other false claims, […]

Yes, California, There Is a Death Penalty

What happened to California’s death penalty? There has not been an execution since 2006, when a federal judge ruled against the state’s three-drug lethal injection protocol. In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld three-drug executions. It didn’t matter. Though as candidates Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris — who both personally oppose capital […]

The Defend Freedom Tour

Patrick Henry once said, “The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.” And for me, those special qualities have always been epitomized in our courageous men and women in uniform. I have written countless times on the need to support and serve our nation’s heroes […]

Greece Dependency Has Created Dangerous Illusions

Once again the crisis in Greece is threatening the unity of the entire euro zone. Many analysts are asking what must be done to restore viability to the Union’s weakest link. Lost in this discussion is that modern Greece, formed in 1830, has never really been required to stand on its own. Generations of support […]

Stealing From God

Frank Turek’s new book is a brilliant and unique contribution to Christian apologetics. “Stealing From God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case” is thoughtful and provocative yet a very quick read. I have read many books on Christian apologetics but nothing quite like this book. Not only is much of the content different […]

President Compares Islam to Christianity

In his National Prayer Breakfast speech last week, President Barack Obama said: “And lest we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow […]

The Democratic Majority That Emerged — And Disappeared

John Judis, co-author of the book “The Emerging Democratic Majority,” now says in an article in National Journal that that majority has disappeared. His title: “The Emerging Republican Advantage.” The original book, published in the Republican year of 2002, forecast accurately the groups that would make up the Democratic majority coalition that emerged in the […]

He Made My Day

In response to last week’s brutal dousing of gas, igniting and burning to death of the captured Jordanian fighter pilot by the ISIS “JV Team,” King Abdullah of Jordan is now fulfilling his promise to pulverize them until his country is depleted of bombs and bullets. The King made this statement in the company of […]

Hillary Stays Silent Until It’s Too Late

Why is Hillary in hiding? No speeches. No major appearances. No tours. Just meetings with advisors and potential donors. She knows she faces a potentially dangerous situation, seeking first the nomination of a very left-wing party and then looking to get elected by an increasingly centrist country. Presidential candidates always face this divide, but rarely […]

63rd Annual National Prayer Breakfast … let us prey

There was a time when the 63-year-old National Prayer Breakfast was a rather mundane affair. It rarely made news. Speakers — evangelist Billy Graham spoke at most of the early ones — talked about Jesus and salvation. Presidents, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower, would follow with unremarkable comments mostly ignored or relegated to the religion […]

VIDEO: Gallup CEO Says He Might ‘Suddenly Disappear’ For Telling the Truth About Obama’s Failed Economic Recovery

Jim Clifton, head of the Gallup Organization, and Diane Swonk, Mesirow Financial, recently appeared on CNBC to discuss the unemployment rate and outlook for U.S. jobs. But Clifton has become known, now, for pointing out that Obama has lied terribly about his unemployment figures. And now it seems that Mr. Clifton is worried that he […]

Goldwater Institute Sues: State Bars are Unconstitutional Mandatory Unions

State bars are acquiring a chilling reputation for misusing the dues of attorneys forced to join them, including using those dues to target conservative attorneys. Right-leaning attorneys are frequently disbarred and disciplined for actions completely unrelated to the practice of law, a gross overreach of power. Oddly, even though there is no realistic difference between […]

New GOP Bill Would Require Photo Identification to Use Food Stamps

Fighting food stamp fraud costs taxpayers a surprising amount of money. So Republican lawmakers have come up with a common sense way to help avoid that fraud: requiring recipients to show photo identification in order to use their food stamps. Several GOP lawmakers have proposed a new bill that would require photo identification to use […]
