While I was on vacation, my buddy Matt Lewis wrote a piece called Is meritocracy undermining Christianity that really bugged me because the premise was not only harmful, but extraordinarily wide of the mark. Matt’s comments were a take off on some things Walter Russell Mead, who’s also an excellent conservative writer, had to say […]
On Thursday, the Romney campaign announced that it had raised over $100 million in June, between the campaign, the Romney PAC, and the Republican National Committee. On Monday came news that the President, for the second month in a row, has been outraised by Romney quite handily — and Romney’s campaign had over 500,000 donors […]
On behalf of ABC News and Yahoo News, the ever-vigilant guardians of the institutionalized “progressive” left’s agenda are at it again. In a “news report” found under the headline-”Spinners and Winners”, Jonathan Karl, Avery Miller, Richard Coolidge and Sherisse Pham are up to their now familiar –bias disguised as news– tricks. The story, which includes […]

If you’re a Christian who wants to exercise your 1st Amendment right to engage in the free exercise of religion by holding a Bible study at your house,: you may end up in a jail cell if you live in Phoenix, Arizona. Michael Salman, who’s been squabbling with Phoenix for years over his home-worship services, says […]
Hollywood and the American left love diversity, except when it offends their “progressive” value system. Witness the reaction to actor Brad Pitt’s mother, Jane, who publicly opposed President Obama’s re-election. Mrs. Pitt’s pro-life, anti-gay marriage statement to her local paper last week enflamed the Tolerance Mob. And her mere expression of dissident political views exposed […]
Nothing produces more of a sense of the futility of facts than seeing someone in the mass media repeating some notion that has been refuted innumerable times over the years. On July 9th, on CNN’s program “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer, commentator Gloria Borger discussed President Obama’s plan to continue the temporary extension of […]
Last year, Congress agreed to $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts, unless politicians find other things to cut. They didn’t, of course. So now, with so-called sequestration looming in January, panic has set in. Even the new “fiscally responsible” Republicans vote against cutting Energy Department handouts to companies like Solyndra and subsidies to sugar producers. […]
Anyone who wants to study the tricks of propaganda rhetoric has a rich source of examples in the statements of President Barack Obama. On Monday, July 9th, for example, he said that Republicans “believe that prosperity comes from the top down, so that if we spend trillions more on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, […]
One of the more difficult lessons to teach economics neophytes — and, many times, trained economists — is that economic theory cannot say anything definitive about subjective statements, such as what’s better, good, bad or worse. Let’s try a few examples to make the point. Cabernet sauvignon wine is better than fume blanc. Turkey is […]
Testifying before a Senate committee a few months ago, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lamented that America was “in an information war, and we are losing that war.” This week, she blew a fuse at the “Friends of Syria” meeting in Paris, saying that Russia and China should “pay a price” for not supporting […]
With all of the talk about the “occupied” West Bank, one would assume that Israel is “occupying” the area from the Palestinians, right? A major problem with that concept is that while there are 22 Arab states that surround Israel, the “Palestinians” never controlled the so-called “West Bank.” That being the case, how exactly are […]
The State of Minnesota started handing out concealed carry permits all the way back in 2003 with no statistical rise in crime. Yet still, in 2012, a journalist from the Minnesota Star is still worrying about “gun violence” being perpetrated by the same CC people who have not been responsible for any great rise in […]
The media is now fixated on an apparently new feature dominating the economic landscape: a “fiscal cliff” from which the United States will fall in January 2013. They see the danger arising from the simultaneous implementation of the $2 trillion in automatic spending cuts (spread over 10 years) agreed to in last year’s debt ceiling […]
Why aren’t more people furious about the Libor scandal? That’s a question mostly being asked on the political left these days, and they’re right to ask it. Here are the basics: Barclays is the second-largest bank in Britain and one of the largest in the world. It has admitted to U.S. and British regulators that […]
Without much fanfare and as little publicity as possible, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will go to New York City to sign the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), now in the final stages of negotiation at the U.N. The Treaty marks the beginning of an international crusade to impose gun controls on the United States and […]
Buzzfeed sure seems to be just another arm of the Obama re-election campaign with a piece today attacking Romney over Bain outsourcing… even though Romney did not work at Bain when the outsourcing happened. One of Obama’s most cynical campaign tactics of late has been to try and link GOP candidate Mitt Romney to jobs […]
You read that correctly. What you are about to read is not only frightening, but unfortunately for America also true. This article will present a very strong argument that shows that most of Barack Obama’s decisions regarding the economy have been made intentionally. I will back up my claims with facts and statistics while giving […]
The liberal media will make sure to go through the motions and occasionally hit President Obama with some critical points, but they will hold their fire when it comes to addressing five major unfulfilled campaign promises, former CBS reporter and media critic Bernie Goldberg told Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly last night. Given that the latest […]
Fox News and Wall Street Journal mogul Rupert Murdoch has gone public with his dislike of Mitt Romney. Murdoch tweeted on July 1, “Met Romney last week. Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful.” Murdoch is displeased that Romney has […]
The obvious solution is to mandate that doctors keep working under Comrade Obama (The Daily Caller) Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association. The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed […]
But, then, what else does Obama have to run on? A failed economic stimulus plan that wasted a billion dollars? A highly unpopular healthcare bill? The Lilly Ledbetter Act, which was so wonderful that the Democrats tried to pass legislation that did the same thing again this year? Drone strikes that make his base insane(r)? […]
For the most part, the same shrieking ninnies who wanted to see George Bush on trial for war crimes have simply clammed up about Barack Obama continuing many of the policies they objected to so much in the first place. Still, there have been a handful of dissenters whose desperate urge to coddle terrorists hasn’t […]
8) “The private sector is doing fine:” Know what hasn’t been “doing fine” for a single day since Barack Obama came into office? The private sector. So when Barack Obama bizarrely proclaimed that “the private sector is doing fine” earlier this year, Obama was further out of touch than E.T. was when he wanted to […]
As: President Obama slams Romney for being a “pioneer” in outsourcing jobs: overseas, it appears the president himself and his most loyal supporters are leading the charge in American outsourcing. : According to William Bigelow of Breitbart.com, “Obama’s second largest: fundraiser: is John Rogers, the CEO of: investment giant Ariel Capital Management. He has raised more than: $1.5 million: for Obama’s reelection campaign. […]
Remember Denise Rich? Bill Clinton pardoned her ex-husband after she donated: roughly a million dollars: to the Democratic Party and the Clinton Library. Whatever your opinion may be of the pardon, it certainly looked like a very sleazy “You give us money and we’ll wipe your crime off the books” deal. Ironically, Rich was in trouble for […]
If: no Americans need to see a doctor after 2014: after Obamacare goes into effect, everything should go really well. Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association. ….The DPMA found that many doctors do not […]
Good news – well, if you’re betting on California to default on its debts sooner rather than later.

Wow, who would have ever thought a group of anarchists with tattoos on their necks, bums, and women who went $100,000 in debt to get lesbian studies degrees: couldn’t even handle putting together a cookbook? You may want to say, “Pretty much everybody,” but c’mon, we’re talking about a cookbook here. It’s not as if they […]
