The battle between traditionalism and secularism

All men are endowed by their creator not their government. The American experience in all its glory is rooted in this basic tenet. Contrary to what liberals think or want us to believe we are and always have been a Judeo-Christian nation. We are a faith based nation that strongly believes in a higher power; […]

Another Day Another Disaster

Barack Obama’s foreign policy approval numbers plunged in a recent poll.:  This is no surprise at a time when NATO is pulling back in Afghanistan, a move that is heightening doubts about the future of that country.:  NATO’s decision, which leaves Obama’s exit strategy in doubt, makes his claims of “progress” in that arena suspect […]

It’s Time To Take Egypt Off The Dole

You have to go all the way back to the 13th century to find a time when Egypt was a “great nation.” Today, Egypt is just another crummy backwater that’s famous for Pyramids, Islamic radicalism, and rape. Of course, it’s hard to be sorry that the tyrannical Hosni Mubarak was overthrown, but the country is […]

Obama Tells Romney He Can’t Write Off Half The Country

Obama took time out from his busy schedule of ignoring the Islamist rage (The Hill) President Obama on Tuesday lectured Mitt Romney for “writing off a big chunk of the country” in his first remarks about the GOP presidential nominee’s controversial statements at a closed-door fundraiser. “One of the things I learned as president is […]

5 Reasons Why Being Immortal Would Suck

My latest Pajamas Media column is called, 5 Reasons Why Being Immortal Would Suck. Here’s an excerpt from the column. Remember the final refrain of the classic Queen song, “Who Wants To Live Forever?” Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today Who has forever anyway… If you’re like […]

I Like Gary Johnson

All political candidates call themselves freedom-lovers, but they are not. Neither major party really opposes government control of the economy or of our personal lives. I’m a libertarian because I see the false choice offered by political left and right: Democrats talk about personal liberty; Republicans talk about economic freedom. But what they do once […]

Academic Dishonesty

Many of the nation’s colleges and universities have become cesspools of indoctrination, intolerance, academic dishonesty and an “enlightened” form of racism. This is a decades-old trend. In a 1991 speech, Yale President Benno Schmidt warned: “The most serious problems of freedom of expression in our society today exist on our campuses. The assumption seems to […]

Marriage Gap Dominates the Election

There is no gender gap. There is a marriage gap. A September 13 poll I conducted (912 likely voters, national sample) found that while married white women back Romney by 55-40 percent, Unmarried white women back Obama by 60-32 percent! Since unmarried white women are 45 percent of all white women, this marriage gap poses […]

The truth behind the new Islamic flashpoints

The CIA claims that it never saw the storm coming, but Canadian intelligence sure did. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird landed in Vladivostok, Russia, earlier this month for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and had barely stepped off the plane when he announced that Canada would be pulling its diplomats out of Iran and […]

DOJ Worked With Soros Backed Media Matters To Quash Stories

The Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, er, US Department of Justice, has some explaining to do (Daily Caller) Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about […]

US Ready To Abandon Lebenon Embassy As Tens Of Thousands Protest

At least the Obama administration isn’t ignoring the warnings this time, as they did in Libya. Unfortunately, this time it looks like they’re preparing to see the embassy in Lebanon over-run, and are taking measures to abandon it, rather than showing strength in the face of the Islamists (Washington Post) Tens of thousands of people […]

Is The Romney Campaign Just the McCain Campaign Redux?

In 2008, John McCain made a somewhat risky VP pick who turned out to be a winner, but otherwise ran an overly cautious, fuzzy, non-aggressive campaign with no theme that was largely based on his resume. Remind you of anyone? Like say, our current nominee who made a somewhat risky VP pick who turned out […]

A Short, Open Letter To Todd Akin

Dear Todd Akin The last few weeks for you have undoubtedly been, let’s say, rather difficult since you said, If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but […]

Are You Getting Your Money’s Worth Out Of The Government?

Foster Friess wrote a column on “what the mega-rich do for America.” It’s a good read and a good perspective, but there’s a particular section of the piece that applies to a much broader audience. Our society would be a lot better off if everybody’s tax rates were lowered. Yet the rich people I know […]

Can Republicans Talk?

The first time I saw Chris Christie on television, shortly after he became governor of New Jersey, my immediate reaction was, “My Gosh! A Talking Republican!” It was almost like seeing a talking giraffe or a talking salamander. Technically speaking, Republicans do talk, but talking is definitely not their strong suit. Nor do they seem […]

The UN Gun Control Treaty Is Bad for Gun Owners Everywhere

Last time I checked, Americans were responsible for making our own laws. We do not invite foreign nations to have a say in how we govern ourselves within our own borders. Yet if you follow what’s been going on with the United Nations this year, you know that the USA came perilously close to having […]
