‘One of these things is not like the other’

Just because things can be put on the same list doesn’t mean they are necessarily similar. My attic contains within it thousands of comic books, an inflatable bed, some jigsaw puzzles, some family pictures and a “Frampton Comes Alive!” album. These things are, roughly speaking, in the same location, but they’re hardly of equal value, […]

Expose and Oppose Obama’s Radical Appointees

No matter what progress Republicans may make in electoral politics over the coming years, it will be difficult to roll back the steady march of liberalism that has taken place inside our cultural, bureaucratic and legal institutions — from academia to regulatory agencies to the Department of Justice — but we have to try. A […]

Cyprus Lifts the Curtain

This week financial analysts, economists, politicians, and bank depositors from around the world were outraged that European leaders, more specifically the Germans, currently calling many of the shots in Brussels and Frankfurt, could be so politically reckless, economically ignorant, and emotionally callous as to violate the sanctity of bank deposits in order to fund a […]

It’s Time To Bust Up the Big Banks

Americans have a healthy respect for free market competition and are resistant to government interference — even when they don’t like what the market is up to. For example, 69 percent of Americans believe that large corporate executives are overpaid, but only 17 percent want the government to regulate their pay. In that context, it’s […]

HuffPo Live Appearance: Can Rand Paul Win?

Earlier this afternoon, I did a HuffPost live appearance. It was called, “Paul Legacy Continues: Rand Paul just won the CPAC straw poll and is being mentioned in the same breath as Rubio & Jeb Bush. Could he lead the GOP to victory with his libertarian ideology?” You can watch it all right here.

Epic Pro-2nd Amendment Testimony In Connecticut

Just an ordinary, average citizen who realizes that yes, there is a Constitution, and yes, evil exists (The Blaze) Meet Robert Steed, a resident of Vernon, Conn. who took three days straight off work to attend several gun control hearings in Connecticut. On March 14, Steed was more “aggravated” than usual with lawmakers and he […]

According To The Republican Elite, The GOP Needs To…

….give up on being pro-life to appeal to single women. ….support amnesty for illegal aliens to appeal to Hispanics. ….stop trying to cut spending to appeal to the middle class. ….register guns to appease the gun control fanatics. ….legalize marijuana and support gay marriage to appeal to younger voters. ….give up on having a strong […]

America’s big fat advantage

For all the Obama-era talk of decline, there is at least one reason why America probably won’t, at least not quite yet. “Peak oil” and our “oil addiction” were supposed to have ensured that we ran out of either gas or the money to buy it. Now, suddenly, we have more gas and oil than […]

Bill Maher Discovers His Inner Grover Norquist

To the list of liberals who vote for higher taxes — and then proceed to complain about them — add comedian Bill Maher. Incredibly, the caustic, left-wing Maher recently warned, “ln California, I just want to say: Liberals — you could actually lose me.” As a resident of California, a state with high income taxes, […]

Meet the NRA’s Biggest Recruiter

If you want to know why Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban couldn’t muster 40 votes — that’s according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who says he will cut the ban from the Democrats’ gun bill — attend a National Rifle Association event in Feinstein’s backyard. Though critics like to paint the organization as […]

Sorry, GOP, but You Will Never Out-Care the Democrats

Republicans now have a comprehensive “autopsy” report detailing some of the perceived and some of the real shortcomings of the 2012 presidential election. And the rather optimistically named Growth and Opportunity Project’s report is jampacked with so many painfully obvious observations that one wonders why it had to be written in the first place. You […]

Flight of fancy

President Obama should listen to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the “founder” of shuttle diplomacy. Kissinger told Bloomberg TV’s Judy Woodruff recently that he sees little hope in the “Arab Spring,” nor is he optimistic about peace in the region following the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. Welcome to the party, Dr. Kissinger. Some […]

Republicans Must Show Support for Hispanic Dreams

Rarely does a political party issue a document so scathingly critical of itself and its most recent presidential nominee as the report of the five-member Growth and Opportunity Project of the Republican National Committee. It refers to Mitt Romney on occasion as “our presidential nominee” and notes disapprovingly of his reference, in the debate about […]

An Unbalanced President

President Obama has probably repeated the phrase “balanced approach” when talking about budget and deficit solutions, over 100 times at this point. If you just listen to him saying that phrase over and over, you probably think that he is interested in raising some taxes, as well as cutting spending to solve our country’s debt […]

Where’s Luca Brasi When You Need Him?

I had barely left the stage at CPAC when Republicans: did the exact thing I told them not to do.Contrary to giddy liberals writing the obituary of the Republican Party, the nation has not swung left. Republicans just keep losing easy races through unforced errors. I advised them to stop doing that. Not two days later, […]

Your Hometown on Multiculturalism

Peter Roberts gasps in horror at what multiculturalism and the practice of importing massive hordes of welfare colonists have done to the homey suburb where he grew up: When you see your homeland, which was what Greenacre was, turned into a minefield, or a battlefield, or a refuge of drug dealers, criminals, drive-by shooters and […]

Surprise: Aussie Carbon Tax Contributes To Business Insolvencies

One would think that Australia’s politicians would have gotten the hint that their “carbon tax” and cap and trade programs are really, really, really unpopular after the Queensland elections in early 2012, where the Labor Party, the major force behind all the legislation, was reduced from the the leader party to not having enough seats […]

Obama Takes “Charm Offensive” To Israel

The Neverending Campaign goes on the road, once again showing a POTUS who is bereft of leadership (CBS NY) President Barack Obama left for the Middle East on Tuesday evening. He’s on a mission to charm the Israelis into making peace concessions and to find some way to peacefully stop Iran from building a bomb. […]

Sources: NRA Won’t Oppose New Background Check Legislation

A new reports claims that Senate insiders are saying that the National Rifle Association will not oppose new gun control measures that will require universal background checks on all gun sales, including those between private citizens, but only if certain records keeping requirements are removed. NBC reports that unnamed Senate aides say that the NRA […]
