Mitt Romney’s flaws are no big secret; Not a conservative, unlikable, incessant flip-flopping, tailor made villain for the Occupy Wall Street crowd, antithesis of a Tea Party candidate, beloved by the establishment, etc., etc., etc. The funny thing about Romney is that his supposed “strengths” are turning out to be weaknesses, too. Despite his main […]
Who even thinks up horsecrap like this? Oh yeah, liberals… Midway through a discussion about the world of sports at the Connecticut Forum in Hartford last week, Rebecca Lobo, the former University of Connecticut basketball star, posed an intriguing question. Could anyone recall a black athlete who had come off the bench like Tim Tebow […]
John Hawkins:: To begin with, Eric Alterman has been the champion of people on the left who claim that the media is now dominated by Conservatives. In your opinion, does the media on the whole slant to the left, to the right, or are does the media seem to be “fair and balanced?” David Horowitz:: Eric Alterman […]
Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote a fantastic book on the impact of large, high impact, statistically rare events called The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. According to Taleb, history tends to swing much more than we realize on these theoretically foreseeable, but often unexpected large events as opposed to the much more predictable […]
It is fascinating to see people accusing others of things that they themselves are doing, especially when their own sins are worse. Academics love to say that businesses are not paying enough to people who work for them. But where in business are there people who are paid absolutely nothing for strenuous work that involves […]
I stated a few weeks ago that I believe that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum have shown the greatest passion for highlighting and fighting against the war on religion (specifically Christianity) being unleashed by the Obama administration and other secular progressives. They are also avid supporters of Israel. However, in […]
I’d like to offer a simple proposal that, if enacted, could generate a great deal of a most precious resource: moral clarity. It concerns the death penalty. Opponents of capital punishment for murderers argue that the state has no right to take a murderer’s life. Apparently, one fact that abolitionists forget or overlook is that […]
Black History Month honors the achievements of African Americans throughout history and that is a good thing. Unfortunately, a reliance on family and faith, which allowed many African Americans to survive the horrors of Reconstruction, racial injustice and violent acts of discrimination, has become a casualty of the modern welfare state, which has contributed to […]
This article from the liberal: New York Times: answers that question. Excerpt: (links removed) To begin with, a lack of contraceptive access simply doesn’t seem to be a significant factor in unplanned pregnancy in the United States. When the Alan Guttmacher Institute surveyed: more than 10,000 women who had procured abortions: in 2000 and 2001, it found that only […]
There’s widespread consensus in the United States that America needs to become less dependent on foreign oil. America’s growing, ongoing dependence on foreign sources puts her at ever-greater risk in an unstable world. This instability drives the costs higher. “progressives” who feel an overwhelming compulsion to immediately replace America’s existing carbon economy with a green […]
Of course, this is all about the contraceptive, sterilization, and abortifacient mandate (Time Magazine – Erika Christakis) There was lots of excitable talk last week about birth control, with President Obama dialing back his initial plan for mandating contraceptive coverage to exempt employers who object to such coverage on religious grounds. In those cases, the […]
With friends like this, who needs enemies? Jen Rubin starts off her article with a mention of an unnamed and completely anonymous Republican Senator “quoted” in an ABC article saying Santorum would lose 35 states, then on to another article using another anonymous “tippy top” Republican discussing the need for another candidate if Santorum wins […]
Apparently Slate has some chick named Emily Yoffe who gives advice and as you’d expect, since she’s at Slate, she’s kind of a moron. On the other hand, what does anyone say to this? Dear Prudence, My fraternal twin and I (both men) are in our late 30s. We were always extremely close and shared […]
…Republicans would have to be complete idiots to let that opportunity pass us by. It’s amazing to me to hear people, who obviously have no political instincts whatsoever, saying that we should just shrug our shoulders when Barack Obama is going on an unconstitutional, anti-Christian jihad against the Catholic Church. Guess what? The Catholic Church […]

John Hawkins:: Why do you think the left hasn’t made it in talk radio yet? Michael Medved:: Because of the nature of successful talk radio stations. One of the factors in radio is that you have stations that occupy very clearly defined niches. For instance, people wouldn’t enjoy it if a country station was suddenly playing Mozart […]
Many Republican House members, and the bloggers and tea partiers who cheered their victory in gaining a majority in November 2010, seem to be seething with discontent and eager for confrontation. They believe, reasonably, that that victory represented a repudiation of the vast expansion of government by the Obama Democrats. They want to see those […]
This video’s been up on Yahoo’s homepage today: Yeah, like only three or four rhinos could ever beat an elephant. Oh, sure, the rhino seems like he’s backing the elephant up at first. Seems like he’s got the upper hand. Tusk. Whatever. But eventually the rhino gives up and runs away, and all his wussy […]

I saw this doozy earlier in the week and forgot to blog about it until a friend emailed last night, “can you believe it?” Sadly yes, I can believe just about anything when it comes to progressive do-gooders looking to save the world. Some New Jersey politicians want to buy up foreclosed properties and turn […]
Late yesterday, excitable John Cole decided to name Tyler Cowen his “worst person in the world” (that’s not particularly civil discourse, but, then Powerline highlights that civil discourse is so 2011) for a tweet that wasn’t necessarily for Virginia’s abortion bill, but simply highlighted Liberal hypocrisy By informing consumers, he is of course referring to […]
The conservative bloggers at CPAC were happy to receive a visit from Representative Allen West (Florida, 22nd District) this year. The second he walked into the room he was mobbed by the bloggers and their ubiquitous handi-cams. West talked vice presidential possibilities, South America, his status as the most outspoken congressman on the Hill, military […]
Patriots are fighting to uphold the integrity of the election process in Wisconsin WILL YOU HELP? Wisconsin is Just the Beginning. In an effort to oust Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (along with the Lieutenant Governor and 4 Senators) the union backed group United Wisconsin led a massive drive to fill petition pages by any means […]
Unsurprising, but maybe useful for doctors to: know.

John Hawkins:: Why do you think USA Today hired you to write a: column: on the Democratic Convention and then killed your column? Ann Coulter:: I refused to include pie charts. John Hawkins:: What do you think of the claim made by people like Eric Alterman that the mainstream media is actually conservative? Ann Coulter:: Eric, they’re called selective serotonin reuptake […]
Occupy Oakland activists have filed a lawsuit against the city and are seeking damages. The American Civil Liberties Union-backed suit argues that protesters are engaged in “peaceful expressive activity” and that Oakland police have used “excessive force” that has inflicted “mental stress” on activists. The lawsuit also complains that police have not warned activists sufficiently […]
It’s hard to understand, I know, but: the Obama campaign thinks their old “Hope and Change” slogan won’t work this time around. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Winning The Future. Greater Together. We Don’t Quit. They may not be official but those are all phrases that could in one form or another be candidates to become President […]
If the members of the California State Legislature had to get real jobs, most of them would have been fired by now. Incapable of solving any of the problems that have crippled California, they instead fritter away their time giving perks to special interests and passing endless new regulations that have decimated California’s business community.
