GOP Needs to Get Over the Makers vs. Takers Mindset

Mitt Romney’s secretly recorded comment that 47 percent of Americans are “dependent on the government” and “believe they are victims” isn’t the only reason he lost the presidential campaign. But the candidate himself acknowledged after the election that the comments were “very harmful.” He added, “What I said is not what I believe.” But many […]

Letters sent to Barack Obama and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss both came up positive for the deadly poison ricin in preliminary tests. Further testing has been done on the letter sent to Roger Wicker and it has now definitively being said to contain ricin. Of course, Kevin Curtis is innocent until proven guilty in […]

Activist Masha Gessen on the Real Purpose of the Marriage Push

At last some honesty from the Left, which we all know is not on the level with its sudden urgent concern that homosexuals have their sexual liaisons sanctified by the government as legitimate marriages. Lesbian journalist Masha Gessen, as quoted by Micah Clark, spells out what they are actually up to: “It’s a no-brainer that […]

Ex-NASA Scientists Speak Out On “Climate Change” Hysteria

Obviously, they will be branded heretics, personally denigrated, and said to be in the pay of Big Oil and Big Coal. (Nature World News) The government is overreacting to a largely unreal threat of global warming and NASA isn’t helping, states a report issued by The Right Climate Stuff (TCRS) research team. Comprised largely of […]

Gun Control: President Stompy Foots Biggest Loss

Welcome to democracy, pal! (yes, yes, I know we have a Republic, but it’s part of the Democratic model where people take votes) Gun control: President Obama’s biggest loss Never before had President Barack Obama put the moral force and political muscle of his presidency behind an issue quite this big – and lost quite […]

If Rubio’s Amnesty Is So Great, Why Is He Lying?

When Republicans start lying like Democrats, you can guess they are pushing an idea that’s bad for America. During his William Ginsburg-like tour of the Sunday talk shows last weekend, Sen. Marco Rubio was the Mount Vesuvius of lies about his immigration bill.Here is how Rubio explained the powerful border-enforcing mechanism in his bill on […]

America’s Enemies Are Colorblind

Investigators cannot yet tell whether the bombings at the Boston marathon, which so far have killed three and wounded more than 170, are the product of domestic or foreign terrorist(s). But whether foreign or domestic, America’s enemies are colorblind. In supporting President Barack Obama’s re-election, The New York Times editorialized about how his smarter, more […]

Immigration: Dream First, and Compromise Later

The bipartisan immigration package put forward by the Gang of Eight looks like a reasonable bill, but it likely won’t become law, and it probably shouldn’t. The 844-page bill would provide a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal record, pay $2,000 in fines and are paid up on their taxes. […]

Bombed in Boston

President Obama rightly asked us not to “jump to conclusions” about motives or responsibility for the two bombs that exploded Monday at the Boston Marathon, killing three and wounding more than 170. That request was pre-emptively ignored. Some couldn’t wait to project their biases and political agendas on this latest act of terror. In a […]

Who Cares What the Majority Wants on Guns?

President Barack Obama has been struggling to wrap his head around the “unimaginable” idea that Congress may “defy” the American people and stop a vote on a gun control package compromise. The notion, he says, resists the “overwhelming instinct of the American people” after the massacre in Newtown, Conn., to pass gun control legislation. Well, […]

Not Such a Hot Idea: Liberal and Conservative Parties

“More tears are shed over answered prayers,” the 16th century nun St. Teresa of Avila is supposed to have said, “than over unanswered ones.” So it may be appropriate to shed a tear for two or three generations of American political scientists whose prayers have been answered — in a way that most political scientists […]

A Rude Display of Government Gone Wild

In a free country, the police are the good guys. But this isn’t always the case in a country run by oligarchical collectivists, particularly when the ruling class has been going out of its way to gin up anti-gun hysteria — as Army Master Sergeant C.J. Grisham and his son learned the hard way: A […]

Spying on the Progressives

Republicans have been so busy attacking each other lately that little attention is being paid to the antics of the left. The far left activists, including the Occupy movement and Anonymous, have been quite busy. The Occupiers are helping fast food workers: strike: for higher wages and a union. Their targets include Wendy’s and Burger King in […]

Gore Takes Fossil Fueled Flight To Call For Action On Hotcoldwetdry

One has to admire his hutzpah in taking a fossil fueled flight (probably on a private jet) to a conference that whines about “climate change” (Irish Times) Former US vice-president Al Gore called for action on climate change yesterday, comparing denial of changing weather patterns to “sleepwalking towards the edge of the cliff”. Which is […]

Politico: Why Won’t You Republicans Give Obama His Bipartisan Moment And Pass Gun Control?

And probably other highly partisan legislation Mr. Obama has recommended? (Politico) A few hours after the deadly Boston Marathon attack, President Barack Obama made an extraordinary, if understated statement: politicians should suspend their state of perpetual conflict to unite against an unknown and deadly new national threat. “I’ve updated leaders of Congress in both parties, […]
