5 Reasons America Is In Decline
There’s a reason gun sales are through the roof, gold advertisements are everywhere, products like survival seeds have started to creep into the edges of our consciousness, and Doomsday Preppers now runs on National Geographic.

A Censored Race War?
When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by their […]

The Feds’ Intrusions Into American Farms and Families
With Mother’s Day right at our back, I want to address one of the most extreme overreaches by the federal government into American homes that I’ve seen in a long time. Then I want to call on my own 91-year-old mother, who was raised in rural Oklahoma and worked in cotton fields with her family […]

Obama Is the Extremist, Not Conservative Talkers
Some conservatives believe that other conservatives, on talk radio and Fox News Channel, are damaging the cause of conservatism by dishonestly overstating their case against President Obama to increase their ratings and profits. More reasonable Republican politicians, they argue, would like to cooperate with Obama on bipartisan solutions but don’t have the power to resist […]

Romney Understands America
On Saturday, Mitt Romney delivered a speech to the 6,000 Liberty College graduates. It was an important speech, not only because it seems to have closed the gap between Romney and evangelical Christians but also because it spelled out major themes in Mitt Romney’s understanding of America. Romney: “You know who you are. And you […]

Romney’s stellar performance
LYNCHBURG, Va. — It wasn’t exactly the belly of the beast Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited recently on a picture-perfect commencement day at “the world’s largest Christian University,” but his appearance was a test as to whether the conservative school, founded by the late Jerry Falwell, would embrace a devout Mormon. And Romney passed. […]

The Pardon Attorney Who Just Says No
In 1993, a jury convicted Clarence Aaron for his role in two planned cocaine deals. Aaron was a 23-year-old college student. It was his first offense. Unlike his co-defendants, Aaron was not a career drug dealer. He didn’t know enough to plead guilty and testify against others to win a reduced sentence. He perjured himself […]

FAIL: Obama Ad Attacks Romney for Bain Bought Company That Laid People Off… But Romney DIDN’T Work There Then!
Barack Obama released a new video ad featuring former workers of GST Steel of Kansas City who lost their jobs because of Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital — at least according to Obama that’s why they lost their jobs. Unfortunately for team Obama, the truth seems to argue against his campaign lies. The ad […]

Would You Pay $21 For A Carbon Neutral Chocolate Bar?
More pure idiocy from the Warmists, but, they get to feel good and think they are “Doing Something” to save Gaia from catching on fire in some year way down the road (via Junk Science) (Guardian) Which ticks more ethical boxes? Fairtrade organic olive oil from the Palestinian territories? Or organic chocolate grown by a […]

Team Romney: Whatever McCain Did, Do The Opposite
This story must thrill John McCain and Sarah Palin (Politico) Mitt Romney and his top aides are building a strategy, partly by design and partly because of circumstance, around what they consider John McCain’s disastrously run campaign in 2008. The strategy: whatever McCain did, do the opposite. Many of the current strategy discussions are centered […]

Gay Marriage and the Definition of Words
Gay marriage is an issue most Americans simply don’t care about. We have opinions on it, but it simply doesn’t register, especially at a time of high unemployment. But President Obama shoehorned it into the forefront this week because he can’t talk about the economy, jobs, his record, the massive debt he racked up or […]

Obama White House Politicizes Mothers Day for Obamacare Push
Nothing is sacred to this president. Nothing. Even Mothers Day is something for him to use to push his wrong-headed political policies as is evident on the White House website where the holiday meant to honor our nation’s moms is being used to push Obamacare. It would be bad enough if Obama had this appalling […]

Obama As ‘First Gay President,’ Shows Truth Means Nothing to Liberals
Symbolism is far, far more important to the childish, silly left in America than truth. Why do I say that? The newest Newsweek cover explains why as its May 21 cover proclaims that Barack Obama is “the first gay president.” This, of course, is in reference to Obama’s announcement of his non-support of gay marriage […]

Remember That “Crazy Anti-Gay Lady” The Left Went Nuts About?
Just a few days ago, many lefty blogs featured a crazy lady saying all sorts of crazy things. What they were most upset with were the parts about gays, such as “P- E- N- I- S goes into the anus to rupture intestines. The more a man does this the more he’ll be a fatality […]

“Government doesn’t give tax cuts, it takes more or less taxes”
Keith Hennessey: The President’s language puts us on a slippery slope. Under this approach we treat all: tax revenues as if they originate within the government. : We create moral parity between giving tax cuts and increasing government spending. : We trust government officials to reallocate society’s resources to those whom they determine most need it while ignoring […]

Vote for Obama: Get Peter Beinart & Anti-Israel Advisors
President Obama is being consulted on Mid-East Policy by a group of nine journalists – which includes some who are downright Anti-Israel, and clearly unrepresentative of Americans views towards Israel.

Two Cheers For the House of Representatives
Cheers for Indiana Democratic Rep Joe Donnelly, who broke rank with “progressives” to support the Fast and Furious subpoena in Congress. Rep Donnelly expressed support for the Oversight Committee’s subpoena of Attorney General Eric Holder over documents related to the failed Operation Fast and Furious scandal. This was a big step taken by Donnelly since […]

Kansas Legislature Passes Anti-Sharia Law, The Big Meanies
There’s only one problem with the narrative going around the Left-O-Sphere that Kansas is now a bunch of Islamophobes: the actual legislation doesn’t actually mention Sharia law, which makes the USA Today headline rather improper Kansas lawmakers pass anti-Islamic law measure A bill designed to prevent Kansas courts or government agencies from making decisions based […]

Fidelity to Failed Ideas
It’s terribly unfortunate that, out of an entire four-year cycle of politics, we’ve not seen the national economy recover in any substantial way. That’s a long time for it to be languishing the way it’s been. But it affords us a unique educational opportunity because we’ve been able to watch two presidential administrations — one […]
