Psychotherapists often talk about the difference between “wanting to be right” and “getting what we want”. Many of us, myself included, often prefer to be right — or what we believe: to be right — even if it interferes with our larger goals. This is the kind of behavior that destroys marriages. It can also have […]
In February 2012 New York Democratic Senator Charles Schumer called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to request Saudi Arabia increase their oil production to make up for potential disruptions in the world’s oil supply resulting from Iranian saber-rattling. Schumer’s unhidden rationale was that such a pledge from the Saudis would drive down gasoline prices […]
“obamacare” was sold on a lie and passed against the wishes of the majority of Americans. To make matters worse, in an unprecedented move, the man who administers Medicare and Medicaid was appointed in a clearly obvious move to bypass the Constitutional provision for Legislative oversight. You won’t be keeping your healthcare and your doctor […]
Mayor Emanuel has not left Barack Obama. This is clear with his latest foray into national political issues by joining Obama’s orchestrated “Republican war on women” lie that has been drummed up to take America’s attention away from Obama’s monumental failures as president. To help his old boss, Emanuel decided to pipe up about Rush […]
Fortunately, Obama is using tons of taxpayer money to defend a law that most taxpayers hate (The Hill) The Obama administration has shifted its legal arguments as it prepares to defend the president’s healthcare law before the Supreme Court. Some legal experts say the shift could steer the case in a direction that would make […]
It couldn’t possibly be due to natural variation, no, it has to be because you, dear reader, did not unplug your energy sucking DVR when you went to sleep last night (HuffPo) Amid all the screaming signs about Global Warming’s increasingly serious impact on the world around us and on human civilizations future prospects, the […]
“The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his “basic rights.” “Considering how […]
Yesterday, (NMP) Obama gave what was supposed to be an official POTUS speech on energy, and instead quickly morphed into a campaign speech where (NMP) Obama took shots at not only the GOP presidential candidates and elected Republicans, but at you and me, who think high gas prices are a Bad Idea, even going so […]
When a serial killer is caught or there’s a mass murder, people always want to know why. Why did they do it? What made them snap? Once you get past Muslims killing people in the name of Allah, which is unfortunately all too common, the answers people get are seldom satisfactory. We hear people blame […]
I don’t get Current TV, but apparently Cenk Uygur is now on there and he chose me as the first ever “King Con” award for my Five Things Children Know That Liberals Have Forgotten column at Townhall. After hearing Cenk was on Current TV, my first thought that was that they’re becoming the B team […]

Should you vote for Barack Obama or the Republican candidate in 2012? Here’s a little quiz to help you decide! 1) The latest report from the CBO shows that the one decade cost estimate for Obamacare has almost doubled from 900 billion to 1.76 trillion dollars, it will add 700 billion dollars to the deficit […]
This has got to be the bazooka of all Joe Biden blowhardisms. The nation’s vice campaigner in chief went on the attack against Republicans this week, clad in full populist armor. “These guys don’t have a sense of the average folks out there,” said The Everyman. “They don’t know what it means to be middle […]
Warning: What you are about to read is a deeply cynical view of the 2012 election. If you’re looking for puppies and rainbows, check back with me another time. Many conservatives feel like this is the most important election in our lifetimes because we desperately need to reverse the damage done by the Obama administration […]

President Obama said, “The package we’ve put together” will “start bending the cost curve on health care” and “cut the deficit by a trillion dollars.” Even a sympathetic Congressional Budget Office has finally put the nail in the coffin of that howler. At the time Obama made the claim, we all knew it was specious, […]
You know it’s election season when Republican candidates get angry phone calls from liberal musicians telling them not to use their old music (like “Survivor” whacking Newt Gingrich for using “Eye of the Tiger” from 1982). Meanwhile, Democrats are handed new anthems on a silver platter written with their re-elections in mind. Bruce Springsteen’s new […]
Republican Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich appeared at Otto Engineering in Carpentersville, Illinois this afternoon and had a few choice words for Barack Obama. Newt told the president than he can be the fantasy algae guy and he, Newt, will be the science candidate. Newt Slams the President as a member of the “Flat Earth, Sierra […]

It’s no secret that Barack Obama is in Big Labor’s pocket and if anyone had doubts about that, Obama’s decision to bypass Congress and recess appoint three union flunkies to the National Labor Relations Board removed it. Given that the NLRB has shown that they’ll willing to egregiously abuse their power, for example, by refusing […]
Who could possibly be against the VAWA? Well, when it was first passed in 1994, the American Civil Liberties Union was, saying “that the increased penalties were rash, the increased pretrial detention was “repugnant” to the US Constitution, the mandatory HIV testing of those only charged but not convicted is an infringement of a citizen’s […]
The August 6th Memo “On August 6, 2001, the president’s intelligence briefing included a response to questions that he had earlier raised about any Al Qaeda intentions to strike our homeland. The briefing team reviewed past intelligence reporting, mostly dating from the 1990s, regarding possible Al Qaeda plans to attack inside the United States. It […]

Remember the Left teaching school children to sing creepy, authoritarian paens to their God-King? Well now, along those same Kim-Jong-Il-esque lines, they have a liberal Obama flag that they’re presumably warming up as a replacement for the Stars and Stripes… President Obama’s face in place of stars on an American flag flying at Lake County […]
Cultural Diversity: Only two cultures are permitted– atheistic and Islamic. — Ace Isn’t that how the Left looks at it? It’s certainly how the New York Times seems to view it. It ran an ad on March 9th that encouraged Catholics, who are now being relentlessly demonized by the Christian-hating Left for daring to stand […]
Thomas Sowell has come out with a revised edition of Intellectuals and Society and I was pleased to have an opportunity to interview him about the book. Here’s a slightly edited transcript of our conversation on Tuesday. All right, first question, the first sentence in your book is “Intellect is not wisdom.” That’s absolutely brilliant. […]
Did I miss the deadline for alternative opinions on Sandra Fluke? What with liberal women constantly talking about their vaginas suddenly pretending to be offended by the word “slut,” and conservatives pretending to be as pussified as liberals about the nasty names they’ve been called, I never got an answer to the most pressing question […]
Women are complicated because they have: A) a layer of logic, B) laid across that a mood, and C) on top of that an ever-fluctuating stream of emotion. If men are like checkers, then women are like chess – except the pieces are all kittens hopped up on catnip with broken glass taped to their […]
In so-called “March in March” protests, thousands of students in California universities recently demonstrated in outrage over spiraling tuition costs. At both the California State University and University of California multi-campus systems, tuition hikes in recent years have far exceeded the national average. Meanwhile, universities slash classes, cut key research, and rely even more on […]
