When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. — 1 Corinthians 13:11 A society of children cannot survive, no matter how all-embracing the government nanny. — Mark Steyn The biggest reason that […]
There have been many frauds of historic proportions — for example, the financial pyramid scheme for which Charles Ponzi was sent to prison in the 1920s, and for which Franklin D. Roosevelt was praised in the 1930s, when he called it Social Security. In our own times, Bernie Madoff’s hoax has made headlines. But the […]
President Barack Obama’s energy plan involves radically increasing gas prices to the European rate of about $10 a gallon. And he’s well on his way, as gas prices have more than doubled since he took office in January 2009, when gasoline was only $1.79 per gallon. And he’s scheming to double prices again in his […]
After 25 years of lecturing on happiness, writing a book on the subject (“Happiness Is a Serious Problem”) and devoting an hour of my radio show every week for the last 13 years to happiness, here are some conclusions about who is happy. People who control themselves. Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the […]
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi agreed to a plea bargain on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge and two related charges that began with a New Year’s Day argument during which Mirkarimi allegedly bruised his wife’s arm. The district attorney dropped the three original charges; Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment. His sentence includes three […]
You’ve got to hand it to Democrats and the Obama re-election campaign. Like a quarterback who looks left to draw the defense away from his intended target on the right, Democrats have managed to divert our attention. Instead of debating President Obama’s dreadful record on just about everything, Democrats have managed to get Republicans talking […]
From: CNS News. Excerpt: Despite testimony from a man whose brother was killed by an illegal alien who was driving drunk and had five previous DWI arrests, Democrats spoke out against legislation that would allow arresting officers to check the legal status of: aliens and transfer confirmed illegal immigrants into federal custody. […]Wednesday’s hearing of the […]
On December 12, 2011, Jacob Turk entered Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, stood before a microphone and asked those who had gathered before him, “Has our economic outlook improved over the past year? Have we revived the job market? Has our national debt declined? Unfortunately, the answer to all three questions is No.” Turk […]
Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads. A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday. At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the […]
As many of you are now aware, Bill Maher (as well as a host of other commentators on the left) has a long history of making sexist, uncivil comments with regard to conservatives, and conservative women in particular. In fact, Maher’s misogyny has gotten so out of hand, that now many noted liberal columnists, such […]
One of the main purposes for guns in the American philosophy is certainly a controversial idea. It is an aspect of the Second Amendment that few people today are comfortable talking about, but, uncomfortable or no, it is a major factor in the necessity and usefulness of the Second Amendment in our founding father’s experience. […]
Alan Grayson is a rude, obnoxious, mean spirited, habitually dishonest goon with all the charm of Mel Gibson after he’s knocked down a couple of bottles of scotch. The fact that someone as unlikable as Grayson squeaked into Congress in the first place alerts you to how important money is in Congress and how big […]
After a bit of prodding via email from RWN reader Rachael Anderson, I’ve decided to do a 2nd edition of RWN’s fave South Park quotes (version 1 is: here). Do keep in mind that South Park is an obscene & deliberately offensive show. If that sort of thing bugs you, you may want to skip these […]
Poor Foster Friess. He made a funny little joke and liberals FLIPPED OUT. This contraceptive thing, my gosh it’s such [sic] inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly. Of course, the whole reason Libs went insane is it’s supposed […]
I wonder if Kathleen Sebelius has considered that she won’t always be the head of Health and Human Services, and that a Republican President could put a Republican in place who will have the same unfettered power to change everything up. Anyhow, she pens an op-ed for the Politico, telling us why the legislation that […]
Don’t get too excited one way or the other: it calls for impeachment if the Obama admin. seeks international/NATO permission to attack Syria before coming to Congress (WND) Let the president be duly warned. Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., has introduced a resolution declaring that should the president use offensive military force without authorization […]
How depressing.: Conservatives remain divided this election cycle while the most liberal candidate for the GOP nomination in decades continues to pile up delegates. Meanwhile, the evidence continues to mount that Romney will govern to the left of George Bush — either one.: Romney’s effort to portray himself as a conservative has had great success, […]
In the cold, gray numbers of election returns and exit poll percentages, a reader with some imagination can find clues to people’s deep feelings, their hopes and fears, their self-images and moral values. This is especially true in presidential primaries. In most general elections, 80 percent of voters vote for candidates of the party they […]
The Obama administration recently announced an effort to regulate internet privacy. The plan, labeled a “consumer privacy bill of rights” and ostensibly voluntary, seeks to put federal bureaucrats in charge of enforcing the privacy standards of internet companies such as Google and Facebook. Using his go-to rhetoric when looking to expand government powers, the President […]
Every so often talk arises about holding an Article V Amendments convention amongst the states to amend the Constitution, since Congress has become increasingly unaccountable. In reaction, dire warnings spring up declaring that a “constitutional convention,” or “con con,” could result in a runaway convention where radical changes are made that fundamentally rewrite our Constitution. […]
The trouble with the Fluke matter is, we need to get off it and on to other things that are far more important; and, at the same time, we don’t. On the one hand, the matter is settled. President Obama has been so hugely embarrassed by the whole contraception-mandate thing that His pals on Capitol […]
As usual, click the link under each picture if you don’t get it. The link might help – or might not – but at least it’ll tell you what the story is. See if you can detect the themes this week: Link: Smitty. Two links on this one. All American Blogger, and Grandpa Steve. Suck […]
Whether or not this contraceptive/abortifacient mandate rule was intentionally passed to shift the focus from Obama’s pathetic record on the economy, deficits, debt, energy prices, wasting money, etc, that has been the upshot, with his buddies in the MFM falling right in line, such as this front page NY Times article: Obama Plans Big Effort […]
“(I)’ve gotten a lot of traction out of my seemingly banal observation that it is highly improbable that the United States will ever become a Nazi-like or otherwise totalitarian nation. For some reason, this is the sort of obvious statement which strikes lots of folks as shocking or controversial, even though it’s only slightly less […]
Let’s hope so: “It’s the only system known to humanity that increases both growth and freedom“.

Rick Santorum has become the alternative to Mitt Romney because the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania comes across as, to use his words, “the conviction conservative” in the GOP presidential primary. While Romney burned through millions in big-donor contributions, Santorum ran a bare-bones campaign. In December, The New York Times ran a graphic on the […]
At least, California would probably like to force Coke and Pepsi to put ugly, graphic, gross pictures of severely ill people on every can. But since they can’t: Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. are changing the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas as a result of a California law that mandates […]
