Community Organizer Goes To War

Oh, how I long for the days when liberals wailed that “the rest of the world” hated America, rather than now, when the rest of the world laughs at us. With the vast majority of Americans opposing a strike against Syria, President Obama has requested that Congress vote on his powers as commander in chief […]

Same old, same old in Syria

President Obama’s on-and-off-again planned American attack on Syria is nothing new. Besides its five declared wars, America has a habit of intervening all over the world. Even apart from clandestine CIA operations, and even after the unhappy end of the Vietnam War, we have attacked lots of countries and non-state militias. The roll call of […]

Obama’s Syrian ‘Red Line’ — Now What?

Sen. Barack Obama snatched the 2008 democratic nomination from Sen. Hillary Clinton for many reasons, none more important than Obama’s opposition to the Iraq War. All of Obama’s major opponents — Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C. and then-Sen. Clinton, D-N.Y. — had voted for authorization for war. […]

Unfair and unjust

Before Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department move forward with a lawsuit to block vouchers for thousands of low-income students trapped in failing Louisiana public schools, he ought to speak to parents whose children benefit from the statewide voucher measured called the Louisiana Scholarship Program. One of those parents is Lakisha Fuselier. Fuselier […]

Pelosi’s Rocky Road to Peace in Damascus

In 2007, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a congressional visit to Damascus, where she met with Syrian President Bashar Assad. “We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace,” Pelosi famously proclaimed. She met with Assad in defiance of then-President George W. Bush and his efforts to […]

Time to Retire McCain

As Obama steers the country on a course for pointless war and bankruptcy, only the Republican Party is positioned to put up resistance. This means there is no resistance, so long as the GOP is controlled by the likes of John McCain. What could be more terrifying than your country’s future falling partially into the […]

The War on Water Vapor

Ecofascists are following their ideology to its natural conclusion. If carbon dioxide is a pollutant due to its role as a greenhouse gas as the Supreme Court insanely ruled, so is water vapor: At a news conference in Washington today, President Obama announced that he is directing the Environmental Protection Agency to act immediately to […]

I Was Honored To Be AFP Foundation’s Blogger Of The Year

On August 30, I was honored to be Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s 2013 recipient of the Andrew Breitbart Award for Excellence in Online Activism and Investigative Reporting at Right Online last week. : Below are the remarks I gave last night, with a few additions that were cut due to time. : Nevertheless, this award was possible […]

Political Apathy Destroying Middle Class Comforts

Many refuse to get involved in politics because they believe their efforts are so insignificant it is not worth the time. These cynics believe the system is so vast, and corruption so ingrained, that it is futile. Although it may be difficult to get much accomplished in government, these civic dropouts are forgetting one crucial […]

Thinking Out Loud, John Kerry Won’t Rule Out Ground Troops

Remember the days when John Kerry said that Iraq was the wrong war in the wrong place in the wrong time? When he and other Democrats, including President McBombypants, were constantly assaulting Operation Iraqi Freedom, which freed 50 million people from a brutal, murderous, torturous, rapist, limb cutting off, chemical weapons using regime which saw, […]

Wow, Even Charlie Rangel Is Making Fun Of Obama Over Syria

Don’t kid yourself about the Democrats on Syria. Many of the very same liberals who screamed “Blood for Oil” and “Rush to War” when Bush was in office will fall right in line behind Obama in his misguided attempt to help Al-Qaeda in Syria. Still, you can expect that there will be a few consistent […]

Government Forces Churches To Get Permits For Baptisms

There is no aspect of your life from birth to death that our government doesn’t want to control and that even includes being BAPTIZED BY YOUR CHURCH. In a stand-off between Baptists seeking to exercise their religious rights and the National Park Service, the National Park Service just blinked, backing off of a requirement that […]

Gun-Grabbers Go Full Femme-a-Gogue in Colorado

COLORADO SPRINGS — Out: The boy who cried wolf. In: The girl who cried birth control. Desperate Democrats are imposing false-alarm feminist politics on a high-stakes recall election in Colorado this month. It’s a golden opportunity for independent-minded women to reject empty femme-a-goguery and tear up the Sandra Fluke card. On September 10, Colorado Springs […]

Milk of Human Blindness

The Denver Post warns, “Milk, food prices could rise if Congress fails to act.” Congress is working on a farm bill, which, among other things, will set limits on how high or low milk prices can be in different regions of the country. Politicians from both parties like to meddle in agriculture. When the Heritage […]

Touchy Topics

Here’s a question: What is the true test of one’s commitment to freedom of expression? Is it when one permits others to express ideas with which he agrees? Or is it when he permits others to express ideas he finds deeply offensive? I’m betting that most people would wisely answer that it’s the latter, and […]

Why France is suddenly America’s best friend

It’s like we’re living in some kind of alternate universe where traditional paradigms have evaporated around the Syrian conflict. Suddenly, the fate of the world lies almost exclusively in the hands of France and its pragmatic Socialist President Francois Hollande — and as a-right-winger based in France, I’m strangely comforted by this. France is the […]

Say No on Syria

Congress should reject President Barack Obama’s appeal for authorization to attack Syria in retaliation for its alleged use of chemical weapons. Just as then-State Senator Barack Obama opposed the use of force resolution against Saddam Hussein, despite his use of poison gas against the Kurds, so Congress should turn aside his recent appeal to attack […]

Republicans Caving on Syria

The two major parties in America agree on virtually nothing. From abortion and gay marriage to tax rates and regulation, Democrats and Republicans hold polar viewpoints. But somehow, when it comes to the expansion of government power without regard for American interest, bipartisanship somehow springs to the fore. How else to explain agreement between Republicans […]

Serious About Syria?

Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is that military action supposed to accomplish? And what is the probability that it will in fact accomplish whatever that unknown goal might be? What is painfully clear from President Obama’s actions, inactions and delays is that he is more or less playing […]
