Octomom Stoops To Porn. I Blame Murphy Brown.

“…if a single mother raising her children in the ghetto has to worry about drive-by shootings, drug-deals, or whether her children will join gangs and die violently, her already difficult task becomes impossible. It doesn:´t help matters when prime time TV has Murphy Brown – a character who supposedly epitomizes today:´s intelligent, highly paid, professional […]

North Carolinians Should Vote For Amendment One Today

“At 93, I never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage. The Bible is clear — God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. I want to urge my fellow North Carolinians to vote for the marriage amendment on Tuesday, May 8. God bless you as you vote.” — […]

7 Reasons Liberal Economic Policies Don’t Work

There’s a reason it took the country so long to pull out of the Great Depression under FDR, why Americans became acquainted with the Misery Index under Carter, and why we’ve had the weakest economic recovery from a recession in U.S. history under Obama. Liberal economic policies just don’t work. In fact, the only time […]

Conservatives and Gays

In addition to labeling conservatives and Republicans “anti-woman” (for opposing government-mandated free contraception), “anti-black” and “anti-Hispanic” (for advocating photo identification for voting), and “anti-science” (for skepticism regarding the belief that man-made carbon emissions will destroy much of the planet), Democrats now regularly label Republicans “anti-gay” (for opposing same-sex marriage). All these charges are demagogic. But […]

The Moral Infrastructure

The “Occupy” movement, which the Obama administration and much of the media have embraced, has implications that reach far beyond the passing sensation it has created. The unwillingness of authorities to put a stop to their organized disruptions of other people’s lives, their trespassing, vandalism and violence is a de facto suspension, if not repeal, […]

How Romney and Our Republic Can Win (Part 2)

Last week, I showed how the Republican Party likely would lose the presidential election in November if it were to use conventional campaign tactics. However, I also explained an unconventional strategy that could usher in victory for the GOP and our republic — a tactic used by President Abraham Lincoln. This week, I want to […]

Truth Is Major Obstacle to Obama’s Re-election

President Obama formally kicked off his re-election campaign in Richmond, Va., and Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, and his theme was certainly not, shall we say, “it’s morning again in America” — President Ronald Reagan’s optimistic re-election slogan in 1984. Obama’s central message was more like: “Hey, I realize things look bad, and I’m not going to […]

Obama’s Julia a Woman in Need of Protector

“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,” President John F. Kennedy famously said in his inaugural address. In his bid for re-election, the hope-and-change president, Barack Obama, clearly has decided to ditch JFK’s country-first approach. The Obama-Biden campaign is all about what this country can […]

Finding your roots

“Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr.” is another of the Harvard professor’s wonderful television series for PBS. This is “must-see TV” and a more than worthy sequel to three previous projects Gates has hosted about how some of us came to be what and who we are. In this latest 10-part series, Gates […]

The Golden Rule Reinterpreted

In an April speech in Berlin, Dr. Andreas Dombret, a member of the Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank (the German central bank), offered a startlingly frank assessment of the current problems in Europe.:  Although his comments were meant to apply to the tensions and imbalances that exist between the northern and southern tier of […]

Aborting Born Babies: Are Only Liberals Truly ‘Human’?

In February of 2012, a pair of left-wing “philosophers” wrote a paper that claimed that babies aren’t human until they can become cognizant of themselves, aware that if they were to be “aborted” or killed they’d be losing something valuable, their lives. This, they claimed, justified abortion as well as post birth infanticide. Naturally they […]

My 35 Favorite Tweets For April

Dems LOVE women — as long they abort their babies, stay quiet about servicing Bill Clinton, & are trapped on welfare & dependent on libs. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) April 12, 2012 Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event. — John […]

Attorney For 9/11 Defendants Promises Long, Hard Fight

Gee wiz, if only the Obama administration had simply accepted that KSM and the other defendants wanted to plead guilty, instead of playing games, like withdrawing all charges “without prejudice” in order to attempt to prosecute them in civilian court. Furthermore, can you imagine how much of a circus it would be if the trial […]

Mitt Romney’s Top 30 Potential Picks For Vice-President

Predicting whom a particular candidate will take as Vice-President is always difficult because so many factors play into it. Do both candidates get along? Is the presidential nominee looking to carry a particular state, region, or demographic group? Does he want a rock star or is he looking for a candidate who won’t overshadow him? […]

The Sad, Sorry Life of Julia

“Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you, Julia.” The Beatles That song was written about a combination of John Lennon’s mother and his budding relationship with Yoko Ono. This week, with the advent of a mythical “Julia,” the Obama campaign has given that line new meaning. So […]

Racial Preferences: Unfair and Ridiculous

Washington Post editorial writer and liberal blogger Jonathan Capehart is puzzled. Why does the “non-issue” of Harvard Law professor and Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s Native American ancestry “require so much attention?” he asked last week. When Warren was teaching at Pennsylvania, Texas and Houston law schools, she identified herself as Indian — or, to […]

Locovore’s Dilemma: A Different View On Buying Locally

A Canadian couple of my acquaintance has just published a book provocatively titled The Locovore’s Dilemma: In Praise of the 10,000 Mile Diet. A new review in Publisher’s Weekly calls it a “daring, bare-knuckled, frequently sarcastic defense of the status quo in Western industrial agribusiness. From the point of view of the well-off, well-fed North […]

Is the AOL/HuffPo Honeymoon Over?

There may be trouble in the AOL/HuffPo relationship, a report by Keach Hagey at the Wall Street Journal suggests: Arianna Huffington acknowledged Thursday that her portfolio at AOL Inc. is being scaled back to include only the Huffington Post, undoing a structure put in place when her website was acquired by AOL last year. … […]

The Life Of Peter, Julia’s Sperm Donor

We already know what happens to Julia, but, what of the guy who provided the sperm to conceive Zachary? Let’s see how Peter’s life goes Age 22: Peter’s in his senior year, working towards his Sociology degree. He supplements his meager income from student loans and a part time job down at the local Subway […]

Obama’s Afghan War Unhindered by Partisan Fights

President Barack Obama was entitled to a victory lap. In August 2007, then-Sen. Obama stuck out his neck when he said that there were terrorists holed up in the mountains of Pakistan and that he was willing to do something about it. “If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and (Pakistani) President (Pervez) […]

Former Israeli Prime Minister Olmert Is Extremist

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is an extremist — despite his claims on CNN this weekend that that the “extreme right wing” in the United States helped derailed a peace plan with the Palestinians. In 2008, Olmert sought a “full comprehensive peace between us and the Palestinians” — but thankfully the plan was never […]
