Surging above $1 trillion, U.S. student loan debt has surpassed credit card and auto-loan debt. This debt explosion jeopardizes the fragile recovery, increases the burden on taxpayers and possibly sets the stage for a new economic crisis. — APNews I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference. Today I’m […]
If America’s economy were a minority, Barack Obama would be guilty of a hate crime for the things he’s done to it. If the economy were a kidnap victim, Barack Obama would be telling it to “put the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” If this were the movie Saw, […]
Marion Barry’s mouth set him up. The disgraced former mayor of Washington, D.C., who was caught on tape in a 1987 crack cocaine sting, made an even bigger disgrace of himself and his city on Tuesday. Celebrating a Democratic primary victory, the city councilman attacked small businesses owned by “Asians” in his district. Then the […]
In his speech before the Newspapers Association of America/American Society of News Editors Wednesday, likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney accused the president of changing positions to get re-elected. For instance, Romney charged that, “As president,” Obama “delayed the development of our oil and coal and natural gas. Now, as candidate Obama, he says he […]
Is President Obama such a die-hard leftist ideologue that he can’t get it right on judicial review, despite having time to reflect and regroup after his impertinent comments designed to intimidate the court? As everyone knows, Obama said Monday, “Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary […]
MTV is now trying to lure young viewers with a saucy sex show in the “advice” category. They didn’t reach for Dr. Drew or God forbid Dr. Ruth or an actual doctor of anything. They turned to filthy sex columnist and gay activist Dan Savage. The new show is called “Savage U,” and it documents […]
Back in October, Stephen Stanton wrote a piece for Tech Central Station called, “South Park Republicans.” That article got a lot of attention — including some from me. I’ve been a “South Park Republican” for a long time and I’m big fan of the show. So in honor of South Park, I’ve decided to compile […]
“When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite” — Winston Churchill Lady Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife I’d put poison in your coffee.” Winston: “Nancy, if I were your husband I’d drink it.” “A modest man, who has much to be modest about.” — Winston Churchill On Clement […]
Ever since the Democrats trotted student professional activist Sandra Fluke up to a fake Congressional hearing, in which she told us that law students needed to spend a whopping $1,000 a year on birth control, which they couldn’t afford, despite attending a fancy, expensive law school, the Democrats have been attempting to paint a picture […]
The in-the-bag-media is working hard to forget that this is the final point of a complete capitulation by Obama and Holder, both of whom wanted these al Qaeda members tried in a federal civilian court blocks from Ground Zero, and ran into a massive outcry over that idiotic plan. Perhaps if he had announced a […]

Pinterest is a lot of fun in an Idiocracy sort of way. We’ve actually gone backwards from Facebook, to Twitter which is only 140 characters, to Pinterest, which is all pictures. What’s left other than sharing grunts? Anyway, one of the pics I posted inspired a funny response. In what country that can use Pinterest […]
2012 should prove to be an ideological election about the economy. Not all campaigns are so clear cut. Sometimes moderate Republicans raise taxes (like George H.W. Bush did); at other times, pragmatic Democrats cut spending (like Bill Clinton did). But this year, Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee, will run an ideological campaign calling for […]
Why did the Trayvon Martin case become such a huge national story? Is it because an innocent black teenager lost his life at the hands of a man, George Zimmerman, who “racially profiled” him? Is it that the victim is black and the shooter was not? Is it because the major media push the narrative […]
It’s not until the final book of “The Hunger Games” trilogy that Katniss Everdeen learns that Panem, the name of her country in the dystopian world, comes from the Latin phrase “Panem et Circenses.” The phrase “bread and circuses,” her mentor tells her, comes from a Roman writer who lamented that “in return for full […]
Next week the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans (www.horatioalger.org) will celebrate its 65th anniversary. I confess I did not know of its existence until I read their ad in an airline magazine. I am familiar with Horatio Alger, the man, who inspired generations of boys, and later girls, with stories of people overcoming difficult […]
Pssst. Want to buy some Stossels? They’re my own currency with my face on them. Why should you trust them? Because I promise to redeem them for gold. And I’m reliable. I have money in the bank and a job that brings in more than I spend. By contrast, the politicians who back American currency […]
How many times have you heard Barack Obama talk about “investing” in education? Quite a few, if you’ve been listening to the president at all. In fact, Americans have been investing more and more in education over the years, led by presidents Democratic and Republican. But it’s become glaringly clear that we’re getting pretty lousy […]
Everybody knows how tough it is to be ugly, but have you ever considered what a curse being beautiful can be? There’s at least one modern day Helen of Troy out there who can tell you all about it and she’s spilling the beans in one of the most talked about articles on the Internet […]
Yesterday I paid $4.10 per gallon of regular unleaded, but hey, that’s okay. Just ask Vice President Joe Biden. He says the administration’s energy policy is the “best its ever been.” Seriously, he did. REPORTER:: Gas prices are above $4 a gallon. You were asked this question and you gave an answer, but there’s a new […]
There are several things in common that recent stories about a San Diego City Councilman who is running for Mayor have and truth doesn’t seem to be one of them. In fact, these stories are so similar that one is tempted to think that those columnists and “reporters” that wrote these stories had a bit […]
You and I may not use profanity in our Facebook posts, but what about that crazy relative who puts up the funniest posts that sometimes cross the line? Almost no one approves of swearing, but with the exception of broadcasting during daytime TV and radio, it is not illegal. Now new legislation inArizonawould effectively make […]

(Editor’s Note: Some quotes pre-date the actual beginning of the revolution but were important and enough to be included.) “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.” — John Adams “[L]iberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our […]
Many are saying “you betcha”, starting with Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post That sound you hear? It’s the fat lady singing. For the umpteenth time in the Republican presidential primary race, Mitt Romney defeated Rick Santorum in a major Midwestern swing state – a win that effectively forecloses any chance that the former Massachusetts […]
It seems that, in Democrat World, the fact that the majority of American citizens are dead set against the individual mandate, and Obamacare, matters little, because Democrats know what is best for you stupid citizens, and you should be thanking them for forcing you to either purchase health insurance or pay a fine. Dem supporters […]
When I’m looking for news, here are the websites I check out, in order.
Anyone who clicks around on the National Public Radio website is often bombarded with ads for MSNBC. Naturally, if you love one hard-left network, you’ll love the other. But the promotion isn’t just in advertisements. Yes, conservatives: You’re being forced to underwrite with your tax dollars what you’re about to read. And you’re not going […]
A few weeks ago, Obama senior adviser and seasoned Chicago operative David Axelrod joked on MSNBC about election corruption. Asked whether “vote early and often” scams had come to an end in his shady hometown, Axelrod snarked: “Well, certainly on the air.” Yuk, yuk, yuk. Behind the scenes, Democrats have been busy faking petition signatures, […]
