One day, the technology for electric cars may advance to the point where they’ll be a better deal than gasoline-powered vehicles. However, that day is not today. Today, electric cars are underpowered, overpriced golf carts with limited range and expensive replacement parts. In essence, they’re cars for the short sighted and those rich enough to […]

One of the great ironies of the post-Newtown massacre gun debate is that liberals have been simultaneously claiming that we need to take guns out of the hands of law abiding Americans while casually wishing death on people who disagree with them. Even actress: Marg Helgenberger of CSI fame is getting in on it. @joycecaroloates One […]

In the aftermath of the horrific Newtown, Conn., school massacre, Americans from all parts of the political spectrum agree that we need to pay more attention to mental health issues. Public death threats and incitements to violence must be taken seriously. The incendiary witch hunt against law-abiding, peaceful gun owners is neither noble nor effective. […]

Listening to progressive media pundits, I’d think the most evil man in the universe is Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform. His crime? He heads a movement that asks political candidates to pledge not to raise taxes. I think Grover accomplished a lot. But I wish he’d convinced politicians to pledge not to […]

On Friday, in his moving and heartfelt statement in response to the horrific shooting in Newtown, Conn., President Obama said, “As a country, we have been through this too many times. … And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.” There’s […]

JoAnn Watson, Detroit city council member, said, “Our people in an overwhelming way supported the re-election of this president, and there ought to be a quid pro quo.” In other words, President Obama should send the nearly bankrupted city of Detroit millions in taxpayer bailout money. But there’s a painful lesson to be learned from […]

The political slogan “Forward” served Barack Obama well during this year’s election campaign. It said that he was for going forward, while Republicans were for “going back to the failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place.” It was great political rhetoric and great political theater. Moreover, the Republicans did virtually […]

The horror of the massacre of innocents at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. struck at the fabric of the American tapestry. Virtually every American has spent the last few days in a haze — shocked at the nature of evil, confused and frustrated by the inability to prevent such an atrocity, fearful […]

There are no “Blue Dog” Democrats in Congress; there are only Democrats in tough districts who are afraid to show their true colors. Remember Bart Stupak and his gang of pro-life Democrats? He made a big public show of opposing Obamacare because it used taxpayer money to fund abortions. Then, it turned out the liberals […]

In order to pass any new gun control laws, every Democrat would have to vote for it and 17 Republicans in the House would have to cave. Any Republican in the House who caves on gun control might as well switch parties at the same time because his career in the GOP is over. Therefore, […]

Michael is a left-wing fascist who hates this country with every fiber of his being. Want evidence beyond all the other things he’s said over the years? How about: this? “I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America w/ genocide, then built it w/ slaves. The shootings will continue — it’s […]

Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of “gun control” advocates? The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available. If gun control zealots had any respect for facts, […]

(Post-publishing note: My wife, Gena, and I join the rest of the nation in mourning with and praying for the families and friends of the 20 children and six adults who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. We are so incredibly sorry for your loss, and want you to know […]

I can’t imagine anything more painful for a person than the loss of one’s child, and so I won’t pretend that I can adequately express the horror of the savage murders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. When such tragedies occur, most of us engage in sober reflection about the preciousness of life […]

From the moment Americans learned of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre last Friday, the entire left — editorialists, columnists, broadcasters, politicians — used the occasion to promote one idea: gun control. For the left, the primary reason for just about all American gun murders is the availability of guns. I have no interest in […]

Everyone in Washington, D.C. knows two things: 1. President Obama will try to wriggle out of any spending cuts enumerated in the fiscal cliff deal. We all know from experience that whenever there is a one-to-one ratio between spending cuts and revenue increases the ratio falls apart in reality. The tax increases slow the economy, […]

On Friday, a heavily armed young man walked into a Connecticut elementary school and murdered 20 first-graders and six adults before he killed himself. Even in a country inured to gun violence, this crime is too heinous to contemplate. Now the question is: Does Washington pass a bad law just to do something, anything, even […]
