The Liberals At The Associated Press Take A BITE OUT OF OBAMA

In a world where there are liberals who enthusiastically applaud the IRS going after Tea Party groups for being conservative, the Left can be counted on to defend the Obama Administration under almost any circumstances. However, Obama broke an unwritten rule: He went after liberals, too — and that is absolutely not allowed. You can […]

Marco Rubio: Illegal Alien Legalization Before Border Security

Remember how Rubio continues to yammer on about border security, making it the focal piece of his shamnesty push to conservatives and Republicans, as you hear his commercial on the radio (they haven’t played it on TV for awhile) for the umpteenth time? How you’ll read about him trying to make the border provisions better? […]

5 Reasons the Rubio/McCain Amnesty Bill Is The Next Obamacare

“The ‘Gang of Eight’ bill is not immigration reform. It is big government dysfunction. It is an immigration Obamacare. All advocates of true immigration reform – on the left and the right – should oppose it.” — Mike Lee ”On every major front, this legislation fails to deliver on its core promises. It delivers only […]

Economics vs. ‘Need’

One of the most common arguments for allowing more immigration is that there is a “need” for foreign workers to do “jobs that Americans won’t do,” especially in agriculture. One of my most vivid memories of the late Armen Alchian, an internationally renowned economist at UCLA, involved a lunch at which one of the younger […]

Is Your Food Being ‘Poisoned’?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines “poison” as “a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.” The legal definition of the term is “any product or substance that can harm someone if it is used in the wrong way, by the wrong person, or in […]

You’d Better Believe This Is Obama’s America

Isn’t it ironic that President Obama, having acquired the highest office in the land by agitating — all his political life — against privilege and discrimination, is now systematically wielding his executive power lawlessly to favor his friends and punish his enemies? We are witnessing an unmistakable pattern from Obama and those under his command […]

A Christian Minister Opposes ‘God Bless America’

If you were a Christian minister who was given the opportunity to write an op-ed piece for the Washington Post, what subject would you choose? War and peace? The decline in faith among America’s young people? The increasingly empty pews in mainstream Protestant churches? The ethical decline in society? Or any of myriad other morally […]

Obamacare Math Won’t Add Up

Before President Barack Obama took a question on intelligence surveillance and stepped on his message in an odd and hastily put-together event in San Jose, Calif., on Friday, the president made a few scheduled remarks about California’s implementation of his Affordable Care Act. In 2007, the president made this promise: “I will sign a universal […]

When government can’t be trusted

Without the slightest hint of irony, President Obama said last week, “If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.” Yes […]

Crushing the Middle Class

Like a carefully memorized religious incantation, politicians and central bankers continually stress how their stimulus policies are designed to promote the interests and prosperity of the middle class. Cynical observers may note that this brave political stance may have something to do with gaining the support of the vast majority of voters who identify themselves […]

Soldier Runs Afoul of Pink Fascists

Master Sergeant Nathan Sommers, a decorated 25-year Army veteran, is not a leftist. Under Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama, that is a problem: Sommers’ troubles began last April when he was told to remove pro-Republican, anti-Obama bumper stickers that were on his privately owned car. The stickers read: “Political Dissent is NOT Racism,” “NOBAMA,” […]

Susan Rice Gets Pass While Media Discounted Condi Rice

Noah Rothman recently did an excellent job detailing what the progressive media said about Condoleeza Rice when George W. Bush appointed her as his Secretary of State in 2005. Rothman noted how the media dismissed Condi Rice as merely a “friend” of Bush and otherwise made it seem as if her appointment was just a […]

Progressives: I’m Taking Your Ball and Going Home

Maybe I should put that headline in quotes, since I didn’t write the title or what follows. Submitted from Soozcat, wife of Captain Midnight, in an off-line. Enjoy! When our niece was still in grade school, we decided it was time to teach her about money and budgeting. Captain Midnight planned ahead, cashed out an […]

Democrat Joe Manchin Calls For Eric Holder To Resign

When even Democrat Senators are hinting that it’s time to hang it up, it doesn’t suggest that you have a bright future ahead in your job. Attorney General Eric Holder should at least consider resigning, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in an interview airing on Bloomberg Television this weekend. Asked about Holder, he said: “Whenever […]

Mukasey: If You Don’t Give Up Your Privacy The Terrorists Win

Ever since the NSA programs were revealed we’ve seen a steady stream of Big Government elitists coming forward and telling us things like “everything’s OK, it’s no big deal”. And “we’re not listening to your phone calls.” And “it’s called protecting Amerika.” Things like “we have to do everything and anything necessary.” And here’s Michael […]

For Father’s Day – The Apple Core and the Toilet

I don’t know what I was thinking: In 1973, when I was 11, I flushed an apple core down the toilet, an action I would come to regret. As it went, my father had remodeled our basement into a family room. He installed the inexpensive pine paneling common to the times. He also built a […]
