What do you mean Americans have gotten ruder?”: “Poll after poll has been showing it in recent years. More than 70 percent of the respondents questioned in an Associated Press poll believe people are ruder than they were 20 or 30 years ago.”: “Why would that be?”: “Life is moving faster these days.

While the Democratic Party has sent out spokesweasel Debbie Wasserman “I see nothing, I know nothing” Schultz and willing sycophants to shame Republicans into refraining from fundraising over the Benghazi scandal, the Democrats themselves have been doing just that. Mugging for the press wearing well-rehearsed expressions of sincerity, Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), “Fundraising off the […]

Former Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi is best-known […]
Stop listening to so much conservative talk radio.: Take a break. Watch a cartoon.

I guarantee you won’t be so angry all the time.: That’s what I told a bunch of […]

I’ve seldom seen a better candidate for the death penalty than David Renz, the New York man who murdered a woman and raped her 10-year-old daughter last year. However, he was sentenced on Friday to life in prison without parole. The judge said he hoped the sentence brought comfort to the victim’s family, although it’s […]
This horrifying story feels like the Ariel Castro case all over again. A woman escaped from an Idaho home after being held as a sex slave for 18 months. The woman says she was raped, forced to smoke meth, and beaten with a hammer. The woman managed to escape from the house last month, despite […]
We knew this was coming.: The New York State Education Commissioner, John King, compared Common Core to desegregation and accused opponents of–surprise!–racism. How many times have we seen this before? When all else fails, liberals resort to calling their critics “racist,” even if the issue at hand has nothing to do with race. King said […]
A Phoenix man starved his ex-girlfriend’s dog to death when his attempts to reconcile with her failed, police say. He has now been arrested on animal cruelty charges.

Can someone explain to the Democratic Party that being “pro-choice” shouldn’t mean supporting the “choice” of men to force an abortion upon unwilling women?

When he was belatedly drafted into the NFL, openly gay player Michael Sam celebrated on TV by kissing his male lover. Oddly, the pair also smooshed cake in each other’s faces as if they were a couple getting married. One Texas talk show host objected to the display on TV, but when she spoke up […]
With its strict and unpopular new anti-gun laws, many gun-related businesses are leaving the Empire State for a more welcoming atmosphere. This time it is Remington Arms, a company that has been manufacturing guns in New York State since 1816. The company has announced it is closing its shops and moving to Alabama. According to […]
I don’t think I’ve actually chimed in about #HashTag diplomacy yet. I will say, it’s not always a bad thing, if it is followed up with real world action. Alas, so much of the use of hashtags is simply to allow someone to say “hey, look at me, I Care!” And then move on. Found […]
Remember who Conservatives warned that Team Obama would bail out insurers if they started losing money thanks to Obamacare? And how they were told they were a bunch of crazy wingnuts?

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 […]
The National: September 11: Memorial and Museum, recently dedicated by President Obama, has been fraught with controversy from the beginning. As one cultural historian summed it up, the museum has too many stakeholders trying to achieve too many irreconcilable goals. Among the cross purposes are the victims’ families’ resistance to the memorial, the presence of the Ground […]
In recent times, British and American politics have often flowed in parallel currents. Margaret Thatcher’s election as prime minister in 1979 was followed by Ronald Reagan’s election as president in 1980. As Charles Moore notes in his biography of Thatcher, the two worked together, albeit with some friction, reversing the tide of statism at home […]
Angry liberals are set to descend on the Federal Communications Commission to disgrace themselves by shouting down the proceedings.

On Sunday, Marco Rubio informed Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week” that he is ready to be president. “I think a president has to have a clear vision of where the country needs to go and clear ideas about how to get it there,” he went on. “And I think we’re very blessed in our […]

Do you have any idea how dangerous rogue field corn can be? : I mean, the: USDA: totally needs this: A May 7th solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks “the commercial acquisition of submachine guns [in] .40 Cal.

When one thinks about unions, one usually assumes that it is an organization geared toward guarding the interests of its members, the average, every day worker. But in Michigan that notion seems almost quaint. No, in Michigan, the unions are guarding the interests of union bigwigs and actually dealing away the benefits of members to […]
Organic farming, like all things progressive, flatters the moral vanity of liberals. Also like all things progressive, it is pernicious — even according to liberal values. Believe in man-made global warming? Then you might be interested to know that “wide-scale composting generates significant amounts of greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide.” Of more […]
Socialist NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio is accomplishing the seemingly impossible — he is proving himself to be even worse than his predecessor: In a reversal of his predecessor’s policy, Mayor de Blasio has quietly stopped requiring immigrants’ sponsors to repay the city if the people they helped go on welfare.
