5 Deep Insights Gained From Watching Hoarders

Hoarders: and: Hoarding: Buried Alive: are two of the most perversely entertaining shows on television. Both feature efforts to help people who’ve crammed their homes with so much trash, animals, or gaudy treasures that it’s almost impossible to move. Most of the time, they have trouble using the bathroom and have to cook in tiny, dangerous spaces. They […]

“And no candidate who has led in mid-October with 50 percent or more in the likely voter poll has ever gone on to lose.” – Karl Rove

Karl Rove almost sounds like he thinks: Romney has this election in the bag. “The Obama campaign has pulled down all of its negative advertising. And is now running virtually all positive ads in the battleground states heralding all the success of the last four years. This is very unusual because they have been constantly beating […]

Oh Boy, It’s April 15th!

Mitt Romney’s quote about 47% of Americans voting for Obama because they’re dependent was inelegantly phrased, but it expressed a truth that’s being ignored by far too many Americans; When you steal from Peter to pay Paul, Paul isn’t likely to get too upset about the whole arrangement…and, buddy,: we have A LOT of “Pauls” in […]

Movie Review: “Atlas Shrugged: Part 2”

Despite the fact that Atlas Shrugged was first published in 1957, the book is still ranked #125 in sales on Amazon. Furthermore, other than perhaps the Bible, there is probably no book that has been more influential with conservatives. Without question, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most powerful, popular, and influential books ever written. […]

Obama At Hofstra: Relatively Alert, Ergo Big Winner

The best question at the second presidential debate came from Michael Jones, an African-American who said: “Mr. President, I voted for you in 2008. What have you done or accomplished to earn my vote in 2012? I’m not that optimistic, as I was in 2008. Most things I need for everyday living are very expensive.” […]

A bright and shining Libyan lie

Almost everything we have been told about Libya over the last two years is untrue. A free Libya was supposed to be proof of President Obama’s enlightened reset Middle East policy. When insurgency broke out there, the United States joined France and Great Britain in bombing Muammar Gadhafi out of power — and supposedly empowering […]

Hell Is Paved With Obama’s Intentions

My theory as to why President Barack Obama fell flat during the first debate: He looked at the crowd and the cameras and thought: “I’ve been saying this stuff for five years, and I don’t believe myself anymore. I don’t have a strong plan to jump-start the moribund economy. Come on, everyone knows that presidents […]

The second debate

In form, President Obama came back strongly in Tuesday’s debate with Mitt Romney, but substantively he continues to lag behind the Republican candidate. That’s because the president has a record to defend and it isn’t a good one. Television being what it is, the president looked and sounded good, but the air seems to have […]

To More and More Women, Romney Is the Safer Choice

An interesting story from last winter: An email friend who lives in an affluent suburb far from Washington, a staunch Republican, was watching one of the Republican debates with his wife, a staunch Democrat. He was surprised by her response to Mitt Romney. “He’s a grown-up. He’s someone who is reliable,” he told me she […]

Obama: The Free Enterprise President?

Perhaps the most intriguing moment of the second presidential debate came late in the contest when a rock-ribbed undecided voter asked both candidates, “What do you believe is the biggest misperception that the American people have about you as a man and a candidate?” And really, this is the sort of compelling inquiry that makes […]

The Muni Minefield

Municipal bonds have long been viewed as a staple asset class for conservative, income-seeking investors. “Munis,” as they are known, are a large, liquid market of credit-rated securities that provide tax-exempt (from Federal taxes) income to millions of American investors. Towns, school districts, and other public sector authorities across the country have issued an estimated […]

Why Libya Matters

During the second presidential debate, moderator-turned-Obama-advocate Candy Crowley helped President Obama make the case for why he’d been a true leader on the murder of our ambassador and three other brave Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Obama was asked a simple question: “We were sitting around, talking about Libya, and we were reading and became aware […]

In the War on Coal — It’s Grundy vs. Obama

In another episode in the annals of the Obama administration’s war on coal, the town of Grundy, Virginia is being denied its right to indulge in the American dream. : They want to expand their small air field, so they can accommodate private jets since its an area for : potential economic development. : The problem is that […]

Is Todd Akin Indebted to The Left?

Yes, Obama had an improved performance that some liberal are construing as a victory, but it’s still a bad climate for Democrats. Case in point, look at what’s happening in Missouri. Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee, is making a comeback against incumbent Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill. This is after one of the most […]

Debate Highlights “progressive” Way

Obama lied about his response to the Libyan attack.:  The day following the 9/11 anniversary terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, he did not state from the White House rose garden that it was a terrorist attack. He blamed it on an unknown video. As did White House press secretary Jay Carney and […]

War on Coal Rattles Harrisburg Capitol, Legislators Take Notice

Yesterday, the War on Coal, one of the most egregious of President Obama’s assault on the American dream, reached the halls of power in Pennsylvania with an unannounced press conference in Harrisburg. Anastasia Przybylski, PA Field Director for FreedomWorks and co-Chair of The Kitchen Table Patriots, invited coal miner Gary Dubois, Mark Fischer, Council Member […]

Why Obama is Wrong to Brag About the Auto Bailout

In last night’s debate, President Obama once again bragged about pouring:  taxpayer dollars into GM and Chrysler, while chastising Mitt Romney for wanting to “let Detroit go bankrupt.” Presuming that Detroit in this context refers to the auto companies that received a bailout, this charge makes no sense. They did go bankrupt. The problem, as […]

Warmists Upset Climate Change (Hoax) Ignored Yet Again During Debate

Sorry, Warmists, there was already enough of one fake issue, the War On Wymen, didn’t have time for another. Here’s an outraged Soros funded Climate Progress Those concerned about climate change were sorely disappointed during Tuesday night’s town hall-style debate when both the candidates and the moderator – CNN’s Candy Crowley – failed to address […]

Romney vs Obama Round Two

That was quite a lively debate, wasn’t it? Obama knew he had to be more energized, and he was. But Romney was pretty energized himself. The biggest flub of the night didn’t come from the candidates, : but from Candy Crowley. When Romney said that Obama didn’t call Libya a terrorist act the first day after […]

A Physician: If Obama Is Re-Elected, You May Lose Your Doctor

Yesterday,: we had a CEO telling his employees that they might lose their jobs if Obama is reelected. Today,: we have a doctor talking about the consequences we’ll face if Obama is reelected: and his health care reform goes into effect. You see, there comes a point where we doctors can no longer afford to stay in practice. […]
