My 20 Favorite Tweets from September

Liberalism is like a disease that spreads by making people sick and then advertising more liberalism as the cure. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) September 30, 2012 Life is a matter of having what you want and paying the price for it. The problem with politics is they leave off the last half of that… — […]

Barack Obama Is An Anti-White Racist

It actually SHOULDN’T be a secret that Barack Obama is not overly fond of white people. The first clue was that he spent 20 years in Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American, anti-white, anti-Semitic church. You don’t go to a church for twenty years unless you’re in general accordance with the pastor. Furthermore, Barack Obama has made a […]

A Few Debate Questions for Obama That Won’t Be Asked

On Wednesday night, left-leaning TV anchor Jim Lehrer of government-supported PBS will moderate the first 90-minute presidential debate in Denver. The forum will focus on domestic policy. Lehrer alone will determine the topics and questions for six 15-minute segments, and then he will control an “open discussion” for each segment. We know the liberal media […]

We Fund Dependency

“There are no jobs!” That is what people told me outside a government “jobs center” in New York City. To check this out, I sent four researchers around the area. They quickly found 40 job openings. Twenty-four were entry-level positions. One restaurant owner told me he would hire 12 people if workers would just apply. […]

Trickle Down and Tax Cuts

Dr. Thomas Sowell’s “‘Trickle Down Theory’ and ‘Tax Cuts for the Rich’” has just been published by the Hoover Institution. Having read this short paper, the conclusion you must reach is that the term “trickle down theory” is simply a tool of charlatans and political hustlers. Sowell states that “no such theory has been found […]

Romney Must Debate Big Issues

Mitt Romney must make Wednesday night’s debate about the basic issues. Do you want more government or less? More spending or less? More regulation or less? More welfare or less? More power for teachers unions or less? More taxes or less? Less oil drilling or more? On these key issues, America agrees with the Republican […]

Rachel Marsden: Romney can win by doing one thing

PARIS — Mitt Romney’s biggest problem in this race isn’t that he’s wealthy — it’s that he lacks the sort of passion that can only be forged by trial and tribulation. It’s one thing to articulate the principles of free-market capitalism and limited government as the solution to the country’s current woes, but they have […]

Capital Gains Taxes

One of the many false talking points of the Obama administration is that a rich man like Warren Buffett should not be paying a lower tax rate than his secretary. But anyone whose earnings come from capital gains usually pays a lower tax rate. How are capital gains different from ordinary income? Ordinary income is […]

The Fed Plays All Its Cards

There never really could be much doubt that the current experiment in competitive global currency debasement would end in anything less than a total war. There was always a chance that one or more of the principal players would snap out of it, change course and save their citizenry from a never ending cycle of […]

Biden: “The Middle Class Has Been Buried The Past 4 Years”

Sheriff Barney Fife Joe Biden went gaffetastic once again here in North Carolina this afternoon (CNN) During a campaign event in Charlotte, North Carolina, the vice president reiterated recent attacks against his Republican opponents: claiming that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s economic plans would raise taxes on middle class families. “This is deadly earnest,” Biden […]

Romney: Attack to Win

America’s 2012 deficit has surpassed the already outrageous and immoral deficit of 2011.:  Despite hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani veterans not yet receiving their VA health care benefits Barack Obama has increased spending on foreign aid by 80 percent. Where is that foreign aid going?:  How much of it will fund America’s so-called […]

Hello, Mitt Romney — Are you there?

If you haven’t subscribed to Ben Domenech’s: The Transom, I highly suggest you do. : In the September 28th edition, Ben highlights in some of the suggested links how Mitt Romney needs to kick it into high gear. : We’re less than forty days away from Election Day and it seems Team Romney is content with maintaining their […]

Univision Reports More Disturbing Information About Fast and Furious

From The Daily Caller and ABC News: The Spanish language television news network Univision unleashed a bombshell investigative report on Operation Fast and Furious Sunday evening, finding that in January 2010 drug cartel hit men slaughtered students with weapons the United States government allowed to flow to them across the Mexican border. “On January 30, […]

WaPo’s Bernstein Blames The Tea Party for Republican Senate Woes

Jonathan Bernstein of The Washington Post posted on PostPartisan on: September 28 that: Tea party and other ideological Republicans have undermined that opportunity by nominating some weak candidates – this year’s prime examples are Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Murdock in Indiana, who defeated a sure thing, incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar. That’s on top of […]

Obama Supporters Attack Romney On His Mormon Faith

And, really, are attacking Mormons in total (via Gateway Pundit) (Catholic.org) The head of a pro-life committee at a parish I know just received a call from the Obama campaign. The caller asked for her daughter by name, and when she was not there then asked where she could be contacted. Her mother responded by […]

ACLU Chooses Liberal Agenda Over Constitution

No one should be surprised in the least at the activities of the supposed American Civil Liberties Union, they’ve exposed their far left agenda long ago. Sure, every once in a while they’ll actually work to protect the Constitution, but, notice that their name is not based on the Constitution: civil liberties are whatever they […]

Hey, Mitt Romney: Where’s Obama’s Garbage Man?

Sure, running an ad from Mitt Romney’s garbage man complaining because Mitt Romney didn’t walk out and hug him while he was hauling away his empty pizza boxes is a low blow, but the Democrats are going there. A new anti-Mitt Romney ad from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees features Richard […]

20 Reasons You Just Might Be A Liberal (2012 Election Edition)

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, you just might be a liberal if… 1) You get extremely upset about the idea of the government coming into our bedrooms unless it’s to give everyone free birth control. 2) You believe that people who hold the exact same position on gay marriage that Barack Obama did last year […]

Cheap Politicians

Now that the National Football League has apparently learned that it can be costly to hire cheap officials, perhaps the rest of us should learn the same lesson when it comes to government officials, whose bad calls can do a lot more damage. What do we do when we want a better car, a better […]

Together We Can Make a Difference on Election Day

It’s time to take stock of where we stand as a nation. The election of 2012 offers us a stark contrast, between candidates who are looking to protect our Second Amendment rights and those who seek to restrict those same freedoms. Over the past month, I’ve been alerting you to some dangers on the horizon. […]

On the Debates

Mitt Romney must use the debates to spotlight President Obama’s disastrous record — with no mercy. Let’s just consider a few major points Romney must make on domestic issues. Obama’s record and his agenda for a second term are a target-rich environment. Unless the majority of voting Americans have decided to embrace Obama’s vision of […]

The World’s Most Dynamic Religion Is …

For at least the last hundred years, the world’s most dynamic religion has been neither Christianity nor Islam. It is leftism. Most people do not recognize what is probably the single most important fact of modern life. One reason is that leftism is overwhelmingly secular (more than merely secular: it is inherently opposed to all […]

Schwarzenegger’s Memoirs: Not Exactly ‘Total Recall’

Arnold Schwarzenegger comes across a lot better in his memoirs, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story,” than he did during a “60 Minutes” TV interview broadcast Sunday night. His book chronicles all the amazing things he has done. The “60 Minutes” interview shone a light on what the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician should not have done. On […]

The main event

Mitt Romney’s main advantage in his first debate with President Obama on Wednesday may be that the president will be speaking without a teleprompter. His second advantage is the president’s record and how he has failed to fulfill many of his promises. While the president will probably recycle his class warfare themes, Romney should focus […]
