Fort Hood Court-Martial Madness

The accused Fort Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, began his court-martial Tuesday admitting he’s guilty. “The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter,” said Hasan, who faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder for those he wounded. But because this is a death penalty case, the Army […]

Domestic Spying Is Dangerous to Freedom

How is it that the government can charge Edward Snowden with espionage for telling a journalist that the feds have been spying on all Americans and many of our allies, but the NSA itself, in a public relations campaign intended to win support for its lawlessness, can reveal secrets and do so with impunity? That […]

2016 Will Not Feature Christie vs. Clinton

One of the sure signs that political activists have too much time on their hands is all the chatter about who will win the 2016 presidential nominations. The conventional wisdom seems to be that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a lock on the Democratic nomination and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is the […]

The NSA Hates the Constitution; the Media Hates Actual Reporting

The New York Times is doing some: actual reporting: of late, and its wordsmiths are striving mightily to construct sentences that are in dire need of an editor’s tender attentions: “Timothy Edgar, a former intelligence official in the Bush and Obama administrations,: said that the rule concerning collection “about” a person targeted for surveillance rather than directed at […]

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map

Remember Floyd Lee Corkins, the activist who showed up at the Family Research Council with a gun and some food from Chick-fil-A, planning to kill conservatives and stuff chicken sandwiches in their mouths for the greater glory of the gay agenda? Fortunately he was stopped by a security guard, who not so fortunately was shot […]

Wal-Mart Makes Fun Of Liberal Hypocrisy At The Nation On Low Paid Interns

Liberals hate Wal-Mart with the burning passion of a thousand suns not just because it’s a big corporation and because it’s successful, but because it steadfastly refuses to destroy itself with unionization. Although they hate everything that Wal-Mart does, they’ve taken to regularly complaining that Wal-Mart’s pay for its employees is too low. Of course, […]

DUMB OBAMA Flunks Basic Geography On Leno

Bill O’Reilly Is Smarter Than Lawrence O’Donnell

After attacking Bill O’Reilly’s history last week, I’ll defend his sociology this week. On Monday, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell ridiculed Fox News’ O’Reilly for saying that single motherhood is responsible for the the high black crime rate. O’Reilly said, quite correctly: “The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the […]

The American pill bug

We all run across the pill bug in our gardens. At the first sign of danger, the tiny paranoid crustacean suddenly turns into a ball — in hopes danger will have passed when he unrolls. That roly-poly bug can serve as a fair symbol of present-day U.S. foreign policy, especially in our understandable weariness over […]

When Will They See That This Is One Bad Recovery?

How’s the left-wing, ivory-tower, we-know-best elitist Obamanomics working for you? Here’s the news. First-quarter gross domestic product numbers for 2013 were recently revised — downward from 1.8 percent to 1.1 percent. For perspective, four years into the recovery from the last deep recession in ’81-’82, the economy grew at 4.1 percent. What about the declining […]

The GOP Isolationist Myth

They’re back! The isolationist poltergeists that forever haunt the Republican Party. Or so we’re told. In July, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had a set-to over American foreign policy. Christie clumsily denounced “this strain of libertarianism that’s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a […]

Floating conservatives

STAVANGER, Norway — The several hundred conservatives on the National Review’s summer cruise, which I was asked to attend as a speaker, are united in what they don’t like about the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, but divided on the best strategy for winning the Senate in 2014 and the White House in 2016. On […]

Democrats Own Obamacare, and Its Political Cost Keeps Rising

Nothing is free in politics, but there is some question when you pay the price. That’s been a saying of mine for many years, though I may have unconsciously plagiarized it from someone else. I think it applies to Obamacare. My American Enterprise Institute colleague Norman Ornstein has been shellacking Republicans for trying to undercut […]

Would Someone Please Slap This GOP Rump Silly?

Republicans basically have two choices when it comes to how to deal with the dysfunction and big-spending ways that define Washington. They can point a finger at the GOP for not working with — also known as giving in to — Democrats, who ostensibly are more in touch with American voters. That’s how some Republicans […]

Americans Of Many Stripes Say Defund Obamacare

Recently, on Capitol Hill, a coalition of organizations including the Family Research Council (FRC) called upon the Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader: Eric Cantor: (R-VA) to add conscience protections to must-pass legislation and to defund Obamacare.   Additionally, a letter was sent to House leadership calling for religious freedom protections.: Family Research Council […]

Texas Tea Partiers Gunning For Gohmert to Primary Cornyn

Like I said on a post discussing GOP Rep Robert Pittenger who was pressed by Tea Party members as to whether or not he was gonna vote for defunding ObamaCare, the Republican Party faces a crisis moment.:  Conservatives have had their fill of establishment Republicans who refuse to aggressively stand for conservative principles. : : Texas Sen.

Crime Drops as Gun Sales in Virginia Soar

The saying, “More Guns Less Crime,” seems to be coming true if the Commonwealth of Virginia is any indication as gun sales have soared there even as crime rates have fallen. The Richmond Times-Dispatch has the story, noting that, “Major gun crime collectively dropped for a fourth consecutive year statewide, while firearms sales climbed to […]
