In 1984, Mario Cuomo pioneered the argument that one may be “personally opposed” to abortion, while supporting abortion rights. Ever since, this convenient locution has become a staple for countless Democratic politicians, particularly Catholic ones. It is Vice President Joe Biden’s view and was Senator John Kerry’s stance when he ran for president in 2004. […]
Your answer to “Roseless,” the woman bemoaning her boyfriend’s lack of “romantic ambition,” hit a nerve with me. My wife of 19 years and I shared equally in raising our three children. She only sort of “works” now, but I do the home chores and all the cooking — while running a very stressful business […]
So far, 22 companies have pulled their advertising from the Rush Limbaugh radio show. They have done this, some because they are big dollar Obama supporters (like Carbonite), many more because they were pressured by a concerted campaign to intimidate them launched by various left-wing groups. Those of you that support Rush Limbaugh really need […]

Washington D.C.’s Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice wants you all to just stop whining about the rising crime in his fair city. He wants you to continue being a victim and like it. Not only that, but he thinks it’s a good thing that you should become a victim. Better that than protecting […]
“(John) Kerry reminds me of a story I once read about the San Francisco Giants’ slugger Barry Bonds. Mired in a batting slump, Bonds sat in the locker room and complained about his uncharacteristic struggle to get his offense going. I can’t put my finger on the problem, said Barry aloud. I’m struggling. Can’t buy […]
Will Romney win big? Will Santorum win big? Will Newt win Georgia? Will Ron Paul win the militia vote and still be irrelevant? Will any contenders drop out? Questions to be answered by the end of the day (Daily Caller) It’s Super Tuesday, which means today is the busiest day yet of the 2012 Republican […]
On first blush, I wrote the headline to reflect that it was weird for the ACLU to even attack Holder and Obama. How often do they do that? Not that often, and, the attacks are generally soft. They haven’t even bothered with Fast and Furious. On targeted killing, yes, they ACLU has been all over […]
When you can’t deal with the real problems in this country, which mainly revolve around government getting too big, spending too much, and interfering too much with people’s lives, it’s easier for people to create non-existent problems for people to solve. More than a third of Baltimore neighborhoods don’t have ready access to healthy foods, […]
No, no, , no, no, no…. Arizona Republican John McCain on Monday became the first senator to call for U.S.-led air strikes to stop the slaughter of unarmed civilians being carried out by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. “Providing military assistance to the Free Syrian Army and other opposition groups is necessary, but […]
The last time I went to the movies, it cost more than $40 for two tickets, popcorn, soda, and some candy for two — and, yes, I thought that was ridiculously expensive. Of course, it never occurred to me that I should sue the movie theater for not providing me with cheaper food, but this […]

Andrew Breitbart was a giant in his field who accomplished more than most men could in ten lifetimes in his all too short forty-three years and he has deserved every kind thing that has written about him since. But rather than being just one more person saying nice things about a great man, it seems […]
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s been an ongoing and concerted effort by the left to silence prominent conservatives and remove them from the airwaves. The decision by seven advertisers to pull their ads from Rush Limbaugh’s show,: despite his sincere apology, is just the latest example. It’s time to say “Enough!” Enough with the progressives […]
There are undoubtedly many people who are alive today because of James Q. Wilson, who died last week. He was not a doctor or medical scientist, nor was he a fireman or coast guardsman who rescued people from immediate dangers. James Q. Wilson was a scholar who studied crime. He saved lives because his penetrating […]
Since Jan. 1, the price of gas has soared 45 cents a gallon — the highest on record for this time of year. AAA reported this past week that the national average of unleaded gasoline climbed from Feb. 28’s $3.71 per gallon to March 2’s $3.73 per gallon and then up again to $3.76 per […]
If you’ll indulge me, I need to express this beyond my Twitter posts: I am proud of my brother, Rush, for his multiple sincere apologies to Sandra Fluke. I am not even slightly surprised that so many on the left refuse to accept his apology. I think this entire incident is instructive. Rush is heartsick […]
If Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich split the remaining primaries and caucuses — even if Romney wins most of them — we will not have a nominee until the summer and may not have one until the convention in late August. In that case, kiss our chances of beating Obama goodbye! With a […]
Here in Sydney, Australia, where I’ve been lecturing for a week, I may have had one Australian-born waitress or waiter and one Australian-born taxi driver. As is my wont, I ask all of them where they were born and, whenever possible, have some discussion about their native country. I say “whenever possible” because, unlike in […]
“Seeing is believing” is an ancient idiom. It teaches that a dispute can often be resolved by presenting physical evidence. Opponents of the ultrasound bill passed last week by the Virginia legislature and expected to be signed soon by Governor Bob McDonnell, thought they could stop the measure because they said it would require an […]
From Politico, a disturbing article about some of Mitt Romney’s donors. (H/T: Doug Ross) Excerpt: Will Mitt Romney flip-flop on climate change if he’s elected president? Some big donors are betting on it. Romney and his super PAC have taken millions from funders with strong green streaks – despite the fact that the former Massachusetts governor […]
Jeffrey Lord’s latest must-read in the American Spectator is a call to action to defend free speech, inspired by Andrew Breitbart’s example. It traces the advertisers that have abandoned Rush’s program, many after decades of support. Lord notes that only a pathetic 21 percent of Americans identify themselves as liberals. And he rightly observes that […]
“Let’s look at who doesn’t pay taxes. According to a study done by Scott Hodge, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, and his colleagues, 41 percent of whites, 56 percent of blacks, 59 percent of American Indians and Aleut Eskimos, and 40 percent of Asians and Pacific Islanders will have no 2004 federal income […]
There is accidental “hypocrisy,” where you didn’t actually realize that you have committed the logic/moral sin, and then there is rank hypocrisy, that time when you do two things that are totally opposite each other yet you defend both. The on-line computer backup company, Carbonite, has committed the latter over this business with Slutgate and […]
You know the story by now, right? Republicans run the he-man women haters club. As the media has it the story goes like this: poor, unassuming, innocent Georgetown coed, accidentally ends up in front of Congress pleading for “reproductive rights.” Evil mean conservatives led by scalawag Rush Limbaugh unfairly call her a slut and announce […]
I really thought Sunday’s post regarding Rush’s apology would be the last (and only) post on the topic, as, really this whole thing is cheap theater designed to deflect from Obama’s horrible record. I’m surprised Team Obama didn’t wait till closer to the actual election to trot the issue out. And, let’s face it, Rush […]
Liberals LOVE bait and switch tactics. They debate one thing and when you disagree with them, they pretend they were talking about something else. You oppose making the Catholic Church give people free contraception so they can use it at the Daytonna Beach wet t-shirt contest and whore-off and they claim you really oppose letting […]
First he spends lots of time campaigning against Congress, which is obviously meant to be about Republicans, but, catches Democrats up in the negativity, too. And now he refuses to share the wealth (Politico) President Barack Obama has a bleak message for House and Senate Democrats this year when it comes to campaign cash: You’re […]
