The Anti-Choice Left’s Disarming of the American Woman

If radical gun-grabbers have their way, your daughters, mothers and grandmothers will have nothing but whistles, pens and bodily fluids to defend themselves against violent attackers and sexual predators. Women of all ages, races and political backgrounds should be up in arms over the coordinated attack on their right to bear arms. In Colorado this […]

To Government, Every Penny Is Sacred

President Obama has new priorities. That means new spending. In his State of the Union, he said, “The American people don’t expect government to solve every problem.” But then he went on to list how, under his guidance, government will solve a thousand problems, including some (like climate change and a loss of manufacturing jobs) […]

Abraham Lincoln

Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” has been a box-office hit and nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including best picture, best director and best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis, who portrayed our 16th president. I haven’t seen the movie; therefore, this column is not about the movie but about a man deified by many. My colleague Thomas DiLorenzo, economics […]

Pentagon keyboard jockeys can now out-decorate combat heroes

PARIS — U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced last week that the Pentagon has created a new military award for keyboard cyber-warriors and drone joystick jockeys. The Distinguished Warfare Medal will recognize those whose ability to incinerate a designated target from the comfort of an office chair wasn’t prohibitively affected by a jumpy trigger finger […]

Sequester in the Wrong Place

If your head hurts, rush to the podiatrist. This is the logic that animates the sequester debate. The entire debate focuses on the two areas of discretionary spending in the budget — defense and nondefense. But these are not the problem areas. The big problem with federal spending is that 32 million households — 27 […]

The Curious Case of the Uncurious Media

Over President’s Day weekend, President Barack Obama took off for a mini-vacation in Florida. There, he participated in golf lessons with professional coach Butch Harmon — Harmon normally charges $1,000 per hour, and Obama spent 8 hours with him — and then he took to the links with disgraced golf icon Tiger Woods. The press […]

“We need to buy a movie studio.”

Amid the umpteen conferences, panels, meetings and informal conversations in the wake of the presidential election, this idea has been a near constant among conservatives who feel like the country is slipping through their fingers. Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee combined raised just more than $1 billion, and all we got are these […]

The Pound Gets Pounded

As the global currency war intensifies, the majority of attention has been paid to the 17% fall of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar over the past few months. The implosion has given cover to the sad performance of another once mighty currency: the British pound sterling. But in many ways the travails of […]

Kiss Your Ass Goodbye

The philosophy of too many leftists was on display in the Colorado legislature this week, as a Democratic state representative plainly stated that women shouldn’t need guns to defend themselves from attackers and rapists. In his own words: “There are some gender inequities on college campuses.:  This is true.:  And universities have been faced with […]

Feminist, HuffPo Blogger Naomi Wolf Joining Al Jazeera

Political consultant, feminist, and Huffington Post blogger Naomi Wolf is in talks to join Al Jazeera, the Qatari-owned news network that purchased Al Gore’s cable network, Current TV. Responding to inquiries, Wolf said the talks are “extremely informal and very, very preliminary.” Wolf currently writes for both the Huffington Post and the UK Guardian and […]

USDA Assures Mexican Welfare Colonists That Sponging Off Food Stamps Won’t Prevent Citizenship

Harbor any doubts that the Obama Regime is deliberately importing a massive welfare-dependent underclass to displace the American population? Then read this: The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens. The USDA addresses those fears in Supplemental […]

Liberals Take The Pro-Rape Position On Gun Control

Being in favor of gun control means being in favor of disarming law abiding citizens and empowering criminals, including murderers, robbers and rapists. But, better women be raped than have guns, because their puny female brains can’t handle the adult decision making required to use a firearm — so says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. […]

Climate Astrology: Global Warming Means More Blizzards

The Associated Press’ biggest globull warming cheerleader, Seth Borenstein, is back with more climastrology (WRAL) With scant snowfall and barren ski slopes in parts of the Midwest and Northeast the past couple of years, some scientists have pointed to global warming as the culprit. Then, when a whopper of a blizzard smacked the Northeast with […]

Dem. Lawmaker: Women Shouldn’t be Allowed to Carry on Campus Because They Don’t Know if They’re Going to be Raped

Republicans have a nasty habit recently of discussing rape in ludicrous terms. As a general rule, I encourage any candidate, when asked on his position on rape, to simply note that it’s bad and nothing more. Because descending into an odd monologue about rape just isn’t going to help. You see, it’s political suicide… Well, […]

Why The Hell Should Anyone Vote For The Republican Party?

The only answer anyone ever seems to be able to offer to that question these days is, “Because the Democrats are worse.” However, the problem with being the lesser of two evils is that you’re still an evil. Well, what about the GOP’s principles? What about them? Name something that the Republican Party stands for […]

Guns and Pensions

A nation’s choice between spending on military defense and spending on civilian goods has often been posed as “guns versus butter.” But understanding the choices of many nations’ political leaders might be helped by examining the contrast between their runaway spending on pensions while skimping on military defense. Huge pensions for retired government workers can […]

10 Reasons I Wish George Washington Were Still Alive (Part 1)

Many conservatives point to great modern men and leaders, such as Ronald Reagan, as models we can follow, and I concur with their sentiments. But I think the best leaders lived long ago, during the founding of our republic, away from the limelight and luster of today’s politics and Washington drama. With Feb. 18’s being […]

The double threats

Just as Lenin’s body remains on public display in Russia, because one never knows when he might be useful to rally the masses, so, too, does the ghost (but thankfully not the body) of the late Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) remain a useful symbol for Democrats in Washington. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) […]

State of the Union, Why Don’t They Ask?

The President laid out his agenda in the State of the Union Address, and it was filled with initiatives and statements similar to what he has said before.:  It gives the media the opportunity to ask questions that they have neglected in the past.:  Statements that were presented as facts also need clarification.:  Up until […]

Democrats Want Background Checks… Except When They Don’t

One of the main discussions in this ginned up, fact-free anti-gun debate coming from the Democrats and their fellow extreme leftists is that they want “universal background checks” for gun purchases. So, “background checks” are a good idea to left-wingers… but in all cases? As it happens, NO is the answer to that. Democrats don’t […]

That Ted Cruz Is So Canadian

As Bryan Preston and Stephen Kruiser: noted: last week, the liberal media has: mounted a campaign: to destroy Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). : He’s a high priority target because he goes against everything the media has said about the Tea Party, and conservatism in general. : For all the talk about the Tea Party’s anti-intellectualism, Cruz received his B.A. at Princeton […]

Tom Harkin: No Spending Problem, Just a Misallocation of Wealth

The CPUSA can disband. It is obsolete, now that the morphing of the Democrat Party into the Communist Party is nearly complete: Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said on Thursday that U.S. government does not have a spending problem, but America suffers from “a misallocation of wealth.” “I look at it this way,” Harkin said at […]
