Standing on the Graves of Sandy Hook

Last week, I appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.” For the past few weeks, Morgan had been inviting gun rights defenders ranging from the reasonable to the nutty, and then slamming them by appealing to the memory of the children slain at Sandy Hook. And when I appeared with Morgan, that’s precisely what I told […]

“progressive” Gun Control

The Second Amendment is not about hunting.:  It is about the Right of the American people to prevent the likes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Andrew Cuomo et al from obtaining unrestrained power. It is about the power of the people to prevent their being rounded up and put in gulags and/or concentration […]

In People’s Republik Of California, Teacher Who Appeared In Adult Videos Denied Her Job Back

Liberals are on the forefront of the “if it feels good, do it” attitude. Liberals have created an attitude where pornography is just an expression of sexuality, and should not be condemned, and that “there’s nothing wrong with it”. Yet, there are consequences for expressing that sexuality (The Blaze) A middle-school science teacher fired after […]

Oregon Sheriff Says Won’t Enforce Un-Constitutional Gun Laws

I hope Sheriff Tim Mueller understands how much vitriol is going to come his way from the tolerant and peaceful liberals (Daily Caller) An Oregon sheriff has sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden saying his department will not enforce any new gun laws it considers unconstitutional. Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller, in his […]

Can There Be Right And Wrong Without God? Again, No…

Over at PJ Media, Walter Hudson quoted me in a piece called, “Whose Morality Is It Anyway? Can there be right and wrong without God?” Writing for his Right Wing News, Hawkins claims “Without God, All Morality Is Subjective:” Put another way, if I steal $20 out of your wallet to spend on concert tickets, […]

7 Reasons Conservatives Don’t Trust the Republican Establishment

Just as moderates are completely unrepresented in a Democratic Party that’s dominated by liberals, movement conservatives often don’t feel represented by the Republican Party. At first glance, this seems rather odd since most Republicans in Congress are conservative. However, it’s a natural reaction to the Republican establishment that has its hands welded to many of […]

White House Press Corps Going Through the Motions

You know that old saying that there are no dumb questions? It’s not true. I know. As a journalist, I’ve asked my share of stupid questions. Yet even in the context of my own shortcomings, I do not understand what the White House press corps is thinking during what passes for a news conference in […]

Prop-a-palooza: The Use and Abuse of Kiddie Human Shields

The president of the United States will release a binder full of new gun-control executive orders on Wednesday. Instead of standing alone, bearing full responsibility for the imperial actions he is about to take, President Obama will surround himself with an audience of kids who wrote to him after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. This […]

2014: Obama Faces Sixth Year Curse

Republicans and conservatives may not have to wait until 2016 to get out from under the ravages of an ultra-liberal Obama Administration. History suggests that almost every two-term incumbent faces a sixth year curse in which his party fares terribly in the midterm elections. In nine of the ten sixth-year Congressional elections since 1910, the […]

Are Guns the Problem?

When I attended primary and secondary school — during the 1940s and ’50s — one didn’t hear of the kind of shooting mayhem that’s become routine today. Why? It surely wasn’t because of strict firearm laws. My replica of the 1902 Sears mail-order catalog shows 35 pages of firearm advertisements. People just sent in their […]

The Trillion Dollar Trick

The birth, and the apparent death, of the trillion dollar platinum coin idea may one day be recalled as a mere footnote in the current debt crisis drama. The ultimate rejection of the idea (which was to use a loophole in commemorative coinage law to mint a platinum coin of any denomination) by both the […]

Time to grow up, GOP

It’s hard for a lot of people, particularly on the right, to recognize that the conservative movement’s problems are mostly problems of success. The Republican Party’s problems are much more recognizable as the problems of failure, including the failure to recognize the limits of that movement’s success. American conservatism began as a kind of intellectual […]

Rachel Marsden: Hollande proving himself a surprisingly wise warrior

Socialist French President Francois Hollande is in the pilot’s seat in the world’s latest military incursion. We’re not used to seeing the French lead the way into battle, but it’s becoming increasingly frequent. Some 63 percent of the French support Hollande’s decision to take military action in Mali, according to a poll conducted by the […]

Fork in the Road

Obama’s appalling reelection put the country on a path that has come to a fork. One way leads to strife — very possibly impeachment and even civil war. That’s the high road. The other way lies socialist dictatorship — and it is so close you can see it from here: The White House has identified […]

Portman: Obama Misses The Point On Debt Ceiling

During yesterday’s Obama PC, he stated that he was a “pretty friendly guy“, which got a lot of laughs from the lapdog media, which had asked if he was “too insular”. Of course, that seems to apply only to partying, playing golf, and vacations, but, not to people in both his own Party and towards […]

NY Set To Pass Gun Law Making NY Great Place For Criminals

The upshot of so many gun laws is that law abiding citizens see their gun freedoms restricted, while criminals are free to be even better criminals. (USA Today) “We’re not looking to demonize gun owners,” Governor Cuomo (who hasn’t given up his own armed security) said. “Gun owners have done nothing wrong.” Yet, the legislation […]

Liberalism Versus Blacks

There is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words match the actual consequences of their deeds? San Francisco is a classic example of a city unexcelled in its liberalism. But the black population of San Francisco today is less than half […]
