I don’t want Paul Ryan to be Romney’s Vice Presidential pick. I also don’t want Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, or Marco Rubio to be picked. It’s not because I don’t like these guys, but because I do like them. It is precisely because they are good politicians, necessary politicians, effective politicians that I don’t want […]
One of the few issues which both the political left and the right agree upon is rooting out financial corruption by the banking industry.

We know all about what hard core lefties like Neal Rauhauser, Brett Kimberlin, and their associates have done in order to shut down free speech and intimidate (to put it mildly) people with other political points of view.

If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. —: Barack Obama

Did you know that if American immigration law had been followed, there wouldn’t have been a 9/11?

Jon Kyl and Pat Roberts said in a report that “the answer […]
Before taking the oath of office, Barack Obama vowed to fundamentally transform the United States. He has certainly done so. For example, Obama has: — destroyed the job market; — sent billions of taxpayer dollars to Wall Street, companies overseas, his campaign contributors and public sector unions; — forced the passage of a wildly unpopular […]
In the Arabic media, there are reports that Muslim clerics — energized by the sudden emergence of Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood — are now agitating to demolish the Egyptian pyramids. According to agitated imams, the Pharaohs’ monuments represent “symbols of paganism” from Egypt’s pre-Islamic past and therefore must vanish. Don’t […]
Stephen Covey, the management guru who died this week, would have had a hard time selling his books in Benjamin Franklin’s America, or Abe Lincoln’s. His best seller “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” would have been considered a self-evident truth, one drummed into earlier Americans by schools, churches and the Puritan ethic. Today, Covey’s […]

It seems that one of Mitt Romney’s top surrogates, John Sununu, recently gave us a guided tour of the life cycle of a political gaffe. First, he wished that President Barack Obama “would learn how to be an American,” and then he amended the comment with a “what-I-really-meant-was” clarification, and finally, he surrendered, as they […]
When the institutionalized “progressive” left’s ancestors invaded from London and Frankfurt they made a conscious decision to re-engineer America’s culture, “to remold it nearer to the heart’s desire”. : Since they began that process American society has steadily decayed. In post WWII America, before “progressives” changed immigration laws to reduce immigration from Europe and accelerate immigration […]
Perhaps the rain made the teleprompter unreadable. That’s one thought I had on pondering Barack Obama’s comments to a rain-soaked rally in Roanoke, Va., last Friday. Perhaps he didn’t really mean what he said. Or perhaps — as is often the case with people — when unanchored from a prepared text he revealed what he […]
“Why is the modern Republican Party so opposed to allowing the rich to pay just a little bit more in taxes to help solve the debt and deficit problem in this country that they would prefer no deal at all?” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., asked at The Brookings Institution on Monday. First off, Murray should […]
Barack Obama’s great rhetorical gifts include the ability to make the absurd sound not only plausible, but inspiring and profound. His latest verbal triumph was to say on July 13th, “if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.” As an example, “Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business […]
Could one imagine if Ron Paul supporters in: England: were considered to be influential voices on American politics, and offered a blog by a major British paper?

This week, President Obama spelled out just how much he hates American business in an off-prompter moment in Roanoke, Va. If “you’ve been successful,” said Obama, “you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just […]
A military judge has just put off American justice in a terror trial so that the accused can observe Ramadan. So our culture, our system of justice is now to take a back seat to Islam. This is how our civilization ends and how we capitulate to radical Islamism without our firing a shot, folks. […]
David G. Savage of : the Los Angeles Times posted an absurd piece today : concerning Pennsylvania’s new voter ID law, a measure he complains is “strict” and denies residents the fundamental right to vote.

We all know this miserable mess of a bill. : It was suppose to protect us from another financial crisis that mandated 400 new regulations, of which only 98 are coherent enough to have been enacted into law. : The Economist had a good piece on the bill last February stating: When Dodd-Frank was passed, […]
