A funny definition of anarchy

“It’s the law of the land.” This is rapidly becoming the preferred shorthand argument for why criticism of Obamacare is just so, so wrong.

The Audacity of Hopelessness

Perhaps Obama was onto something when, as a young author, he zeroed in on the term “audacity” to (subconsciously) telegraph his ambitious designs to fundamentally transform our beloved America. What word could describe better than audacity Obama’s refusal to accept responsibility for his dreadful policies; his standing before the American people — even today — […]

University of Maryland Official: Zimmerman Verdict Proves It Is Legal to Hunt and Kill Children

Racist Shooting: Black Man Shoots Four People Because They’re White

The Left works non-stop to generate racial hate because liberals think it’ll benefit them politically.

Cruz Control Should Be Standard On GOP Models

If I could briefly interrupt the Republican firing squad aiming at Ted Cruz, let’s talk about something we all agree on. And by “we all,” I mean a majority of the American people, the Teamsters, many Democrats and every single last Republican. Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster. It was passed illegally without the House ever […]

Congress Should Cut Food Stamp Program

When House Republicans voted to cut the food stamp program by $39 billion over the next decade, Democrats charged GOP cruelty.

The president’s U.N. speech

President Obama’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York was flawed, displaying a type of moral equivalency that does not exist for America’s enemies.
