Obama’s Increasingly Corrupt And Lawless Administration

Barack Obama doesn’t respect democracy, the rule of law, the American people, or the office he holds. He is unfit to be the President of the United States and that’s become clearer by the day. Obama broke the law to cheat people — rightfully owed money by Chevrolet and GM — out of their cash […]

A Political Glossary

Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear a lot of words — and the meaning of those words is not always clear. So it may be helpful to have a glossary of political terms. One of the most versatile terms in the political vocabulary is “fairness.” It has been used over […]

Is Obama Creating a Pro-Gay Boy Scouts of America?

A Boy Scouts of America national board member, James Turley, who is also global chairman and CEO of the accounting firm Ernst & Young, recently said he “will work from within to seek a change” to overturn the BSA policy that bans gay Scouts and leaders. But is Turley working on his own initiative, or […]

Time for the Administration To Stop Exploiting Race

One advantage of defeating Barack Obama in November, apart from saving the country from financial ruin and the rest, is that conservatives will presumably be able to criticize liberal policies again without automatically being accused of racism. These charges aren’t just emanating from the fringe groups; they’re not just being uttered by radical leftist bloggers […]

Obama’s Disastrous Month

If Obama loses by the landslide I have been predicting — and he will — his undoing started in June. At the end of 2011, Obama’s approval ratings rarely rose above 45 percent and occasionally dropped as low as 40% in the daily tracking polls of both Gallup (registered voters) and Rasmussen (likely voters). But, […]

A Political Glossary: Part III

If there were a Hall of Fame for political rhetoric, the phrase “social justice” would deserve a prominent place there. It has the prime virtue of political catchwords: It means many different things to many different people. In other words, if you are a politician, you can get lots of people, with different concrete ideas, […]

A Political Glossary: Part II

Politicians seem to have a special fondness for words that have two very different meanings, so we are likely to hear a lot of these kinds of words this election year. “Access” is one of those words. Politicians seem to be forever coming to the rescue of people who have been denied “access” to credit, […]

Aaron Worthing Wins Blow for Free Speech, Then Gets SWATed

Earlier today, *Aaron Worthing’s illicitly imposed muzzle was lifted from him by a successful stay of foolish Judge Vaughey’s “flagrantly unconstitutional prior restraint upon” upon Worthing’s rights to free speech. And then? Well, then some criminal leftist SWATed him. For those unaware of the details of this story check out Dana Loesch’s May 25 post […]

No, the SB 1070 Ruling is not a Victory for Arizona

Forgive my pessimism, but I fail to see how exactly anyone but illegal immigrants and liberals won in the Supreme Court ruling on SB 1070, the controversial Arizona law that was intended to hold illegal aliens accountable. Much of the meat and potatoes of the law was tossed; in fact, in my humble opinion, the […]

The NHS: A guide for Americans under Obamacare

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules on the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (this was written before the decision), the Obama administration has indicated it will move forward with those parts of the unpopular law it can impose on the country. Guidebooks are helpful when going on vacation. The […]

Arizona Can’t Do It; Washington Won’t

President Barack Obama hailed the Supreme Court’s 5-3 decision Monday that struck down most of Arizona’s 2010 immigration law. In a statement released by the White House, however, the president said that he remains “concerned about the practical impact of the remaining provision of the Arizona law that requires local law enforcement officials to check […]

The Age Old Power Struggle: Chapter 2012

A Muslim cleric introduced Egypt’s new President, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi by saying: Our Capital ‘shall be Jerusalem, Allahwilling’.:  For his part, Morsi pronounced: Abroad women are ‘free,’ but not here. These types of proclamations do not bode well for Egyptian minorities, which includes members of the Coptic Church community, who make up about […]

“progressive” Media Spin Continues Unabated

Consistent with a clear pattern of widespread institutionalized “progressive” left media bias, Yahoo News once again uses headlines to promote their version of the news.:  They report that whoever wins the presidency in November will have negligible impact on the economy. The “news headline” reads: Poll: Election winner won’t impact economy much. http://news.yahoo.com/poll-election-winner-wont-impact-economy-much-073536119–finance.html The story […]

Rep. Charlie Rangel’s (D-NY) Last Hurrah?

This morning, Politico took a look at the race of longtime Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY). Rangel, who has suffered from poor health and according to the article spent three months away from the House at one point this year, is running against three opponents whose combined efforts could very well prevent him from having a […]

Ask Not What Obama Can Do for You in His Campaign…

With some degree of certainty, the Obama campaign may adopt this title as a slogan and begin printing t-shirts along with printing money. : I don’t believe he has a problem with either one. Welcome to the Obama campaign’s audacity of arrogance tour. One of the founding principles of good leadership is never ask someone to […]

Emily’s Wisdom

A generic waifish English-rose gives her thoughts on Americans and their perspicacity, or lack thereof, with regard to politics: I can remember when Bush got in for the second time, just feeling like so much of the problem about the way that politics go here is that people are improperly informed. That they didn’t know […]

Thawed

From the very beginning, some six or seven years ago, I have made occasional reference to the “dispassionate but logical space alien living in our laundry room,” some kind of intelligent being capable of rational thought but entirely unacquainted with our culture, who is forced by circumstances to grapple with our customs by way of […]

E.J. Dionne Wonders If We’ll Miss Obamacare If SCOTUS Kills It

Does anyone think Obamacare supporters are getting a bit nervous over the coming announcement as to how the Supreme Court rules on Obamacare? Here’s EJ Dionne’s take Any day now, the U.S. Supreme Court may make possible something that has yet to happen: an honest and complete discussion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care […]

Obama Plays Small Ball With Carp, Pythons

Unable to do anything meaningful to get the US economy moving, Mr. Obama has resorted to playing small ball in many states with issues that should simply be normal government business (Politico) President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are jousting over the big national themes of 2012: the economy, the deficit, the crisis in Europe. […]

Obama Backers Use Race as Alibi for Ebbing Support

As Barack Obama’s lead over Mitt Romney in the polls narrows, and his presumed fundraising advantage seems about to become a disadvantage, it’s alibi time for some of his backers. His problem, they say, is that some voters don’t like him because he’s black. Or they don’t like his policies because they don’t like having […]

A Generous Gift Has Been Made In Your Name To Obama 2012

There’s desperation. Then there’s the Obama-Biden re-election campaign’s fundraising operation. Remember that Seinfeld episode where George Costanza, because he’s cheap and didn’t want to buy co-workers anything for Christmas, gave everyone a card saying a gift had been made in their name to the “Human Fund”? The Human Fund didn’t exist. George made it up […]
