As a conservative, picking out things you don’t like about Barack Obama is kind of like pointing to the wettest part of the ocean. It also goes beyond politics. Not only is Barack Obama wrong politically, he’s not a good guy, “cool,” or even moderately likable. To the contrary, he’s one of the nastiest, least […]
While it is not possible to answer all the e-mails and letters from readers, many are thought-provoking, whether those thoughts are positive or negative. An e-mail from one young man simply asked for the sources of some facts about gun control that were mentioned in a recent column. It is good to check out the […]
In 1787, when delegates at the Constitutional Convention were divided and at an impasse regarding how to build our government and frame the U.S. Constitution, 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin appealed to the other delegates to pray for divine intervention to help them out of their darkness: “In this situation of this assembly, groping as it were […]
PinocchiObama is at it again, using his weekly address to the nation to spin tall tales, demonize and scapegoat Republicans, misidentify the nation’s problems, and propose the exact wrong solutions. He opened up this week’s fiction with the umpteenth repetition of his empty claim that the nation’s top priority “must be growing the economy, creating […]
It is well known that most college students engage at one time or another in what is known as a “hookup” — an emotionless, commitment-less sexual encounter. Yesterday, I interviewed Donna Freitas, author of “The End of Sex: How Hookup Culture is Leaving a Generation Unhappy, Sexually Unfulfilled, and Confused About Intimacy.” In our dialogue, […]
The Pecksniffs of America had nothing but scorn for Congress’ vote last week to stop furloughs of air traffic controllers, which were ostensibly mandated under the 2011 Budget Control Act. Congress failed to act to stop cuts to Head Start and Meals On Wheels, critics sneered, but did stop the Federal Aviation Administration cuts largely […]
Addressing a meeting of Planned Parenthood last Friday, President Obama accused pro-lifers of wanting to “turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.” Like any decade, the ’50s had its problems — racism, discrimination, sexism — but I’ll defend the ’50s on other grounds, if the president will […]
Throwing basketballs is wrong and will get you fired – but blaming America for the Boston bombings is acceptable. That is what can be learned if one reviews recent behaviors. Recently, Rutgers University hired a major PR Agency, Hill+Knowlton as the result of the release of a leaked video showing Rutgers’ basketball coach Mike Rice […]
The Question: The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, 1789: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” We talk about the “right of the people” to “bear arms” all the […]
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” — James Madison Since the war on terror began, the government has slowly but surely chipped away at our freedoms in the name of security. Whether […]
Missouri’s House has passed new legislation by a 117-43 vote that says, “federal official(s) must not enforce a federal firearm law when the firearm is manufactured and remains in the state and that any new federal law banning or restricting ownership of a semi-automatic firearm is unenforceable.” In other words, new federal gun legislation would […]
Nice as it is that the Left’s gun grab stalled in the Senate, we can hardly afford to let our guard down. Freedom’s enemies are like rust, endlessly eating away until everything crumbles. The Senate will try again to pass recently defeated gun control legislation, and will be aided by increasing activism from previously neutral […]
Who would have ever thought that the best thing about being President would be the non-stop golfing and vacations? Sure, you may be too broke to go on vacation because of Obama’s bad decisions, but that isn’t stopping him from vacationing on your dime. A nonpartisan group called the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) just did […]
Pittsburgh, PA — It was a bizarre situation. Andrew Moore, a man in his early thirties, walked into Armen’s House of Music on Saturday, looked around and left. When he returned, he had a nightstick with him and he started beating the store owner’s seventy year old wife. Terrifyingly, the police have concluded that robbery […]
When Jim DeMint was in the Senate, conservatives would be publicly singing his praises while privately, his staff would tell me that Republicans in leadership were chewing him out behind closed doors for taking a principled stand that embarrassed them. Now, Ted Cruz is apparently catching the same kind of flack for fighting against gun […]
One of the media narratives has been that, somehow, Tamerlan Tsarnaev went from well adjusted citizen to psychotic bomber motivated by, well, the media aren’t quite sure, could have something to do with some obscure religion, but, probably not, due to the failures of his boxing career. His coach says “nope!” (Fox News) The Boston […]
This occurs at the intersection of journalism and wishful thinking from those who most likely voted for Obama After string of setbacks, more charm may be the last, best option for Obama Writers Juliet Eilperin and Zachary A. Goldfarb picked the perfect picture to explain Obama and his charm, wouldn’t you think? There was little […]
Some guys just don’t learn… Democratic Senator Joe Manchin was dealt a significant blow earlier this month as the Senate failed to pass the Toomey-Manchin Amendment to the doomed anti-gun rights legislation. The amendment served as a much-touted “compromise” to strengthen the background check process. It failed 54-46 as the amendment needed 60 votes to […]
This is Anna Maria Hoffman’s submission for the Ms. Conservativevideo contest, offered by the website Mr. Conservative. This vlog opens up with three generations of liberal “womyn,” who profess and reaffirm their support for abortion and our commander-in-chief. They are then faced with a dose of reason about Obama and Gosnell from Anna Maria regarding […]
Since the Boston terrorist attack on 4/15/13 we’ve been learning a whole lot about the two Muslim morons who blew up little children and severely injured hundreds of innocent onlookers and merry marathon runners. Speaking of the Boston terrorist attack, how long do you think it’ll be before the Leftists and their co-belligerent: compadres, the Muslims, […]
To call the Tsarnaev family a “piece of work” is an insult to work. But they are a piece of something, something the editors won’t let me write here (just think of what last night’s dinner is now). Not only were Tamerlan, the Boston terrorist currently burning in Hell, and Dzhokhar, the Boston terrorist soon […]
Proms sure have gotten expensive these days. According to the San Jose Mercury News, high school kids spend nearly $4 billion annually for dresses, accessories, flowers, beauty products, limos and other prom-related items. The average couple spends upward of $1,000 for the one-time event. That got me thinking about my own prom in 1980. I […]
“What difference, at this point, does it make?” That was former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s angry response to a question about the State Department’s account of the attack on the Benghazi consulate where Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered on Sept. 11, 2012. Her response was cheered by leftist commentators on […]
You might be a Democrat if you believe… Fighting against government-subsidized contraceptives constitutes a “war on women,” but when Islamists stone a woman to death because she was raped, it is just “cultural differences.” The Second Amendment only guarantees the people’s right to own a musket, yet viewing Internet pornography in a public library is […]
Remember how you were taught in school how to add a series of numbers? Remember how you were told to write each set of numbers on top of each other, to stack them so you could then add them together to get a total? Kids aren’t taught that any more. In fact, the system of […]
