Obama to Iran: Enjoy Your Nukes

Barack Obama and his minions — Hillary Clinton, who these days disses Israel every chance she gets, and Ambassador Howard Gutman, who thinks Islamic anti-Semitism began at a Tel Aviv falafel shop a week ago Thursday — love to put pressure on our supposed ally … but on Iran’s despicable mullahs, not so much. So […]

Romney, Newt, Bachtorum, Ron Puntsman: Who Cares?

Like nearly every conservative in America today I am unimpressed by the current crop of GOP nominees for president and feel they all have major flaws — especially the two frontrunners Newt and Romney, both of whom have major deficits as far as staunch conservatives are concerned. But at this point I’ve come to realize […]

Help Stop The High Cost of Federal Regulations

(The House of Representatives is voting on this bill today…) One of the reasons that our economic recovery has been so slow is that the Obama administration has opened a continuous avalanche of regulations affecting jobs, hampering businesses, and costing all of us billions in lost revenue, taxation, and waste. But there is a bill […]

Jon Huntsman Now A Climate Realist?

Remember, this was the guy who tweeted ““To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.” And, regarding anthropogenic global warming, we did call him crazy. And his campaign went no where. Not that it was going anywhere to start with. Now, via the Politico, we learn that […]

Obama Now Blames (Spins Wheel) The Internet For Job Losses

Let’s face it, the man is a bumbling idiot and massive narcissist who refuses to take any blame for the economic destruction he and his party had forced upon the nation. And now we get (Real Clear Politics) “Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn’t just affect […]

The Firefighters Were Right To Let That Home Burn To The Ground

Liberals believe in turning the American people into infants because small, helpless children need Big Daddy Government to take care of them. So, the poorer, weaker, and more dependent Americans become, the better liberals like it. This is why they love to see once proud and self-reliant people reduced to taking food stamps, welfare, and […]

Polling Conservative Bloggers On The 2012 GOP Primaries

Right Wing News polled more than 250 right-of-center bloggers on which candidate they’d support if the 2012 Republican primaries were today. The following 78 bloggers responded: 101 Dead Armadillos, Alarming News, All American Blogger, All That Is Necessary, Althouse, American Glob, And Rightly So, Argghhhh!, Bad Example, Batesline, Betsy’s Page, BizzyBlog, Blackfive, Blonde Sagacity, Bookworm […]

Ixnay on Cordray: Not Another Obama Czar

Wrapping himself in the mantle of Theodore Roosevelt’s “National Greatness” agenda, President Obama urged the nation to stand strong and unite behind … his umpteenth regulatory czar. Nothing symbolizes American strength and vigor more than another unaccountable Washington bureaucrat. If Richard Cordray, the stalled White House nominee to enforce the Dodd-Frank financial bureaucracy, is not […]

Ten Years to Greece

America moves steadily toward the cliff. When Greece blew up, its government debt was 126 percent of gross domestic product. Ours is on track to exceed that in about 10 years. If we haven’t learned from Greece, might we learn when other countries blow up? That may be about to happen, says Daniel Hannan, author […]

Free To Die?

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column titled “Free to Die” (9/15/2011), pointed out that back in 1980, his late fellow Nobel laureate Milton Friedman lent his voice to the nation’s shift to the political right in his famous 10-part TV series, “Free To Choose.” Nowadays, Krugman says, “‘free to choose’ […]

Where Have Our Cojones Gone?

Last week in Boston, a seven-year-old boy named Mark got into a fight with a bully. The bully put his hands around the boy’s throat and began to squeeze. That’s when Mark fought back; he kicked his aggressor right in the family jewels. In a normal society, we’d celebrate Mark. Throw him a ticker tape […]

Gingrich Surging

He doesn’t have the money. He doesn’t have the organization. But boy, does Newt Gingrich have a breadth, depth and intensity of support out there. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this since I watched Barack Obama take the Democratic Party by storm in 2008. But Gingrich is no Obama. He is far from […]

Obama vs. Capitalism

In Teddy Roosevelt’s era, President Barack Obama explained to the nation this week, “some people thought massive inequality and exploitation was just the price of progress. … But Roosevelt also knew that the free market has never been a free license to take whatever you want from whoever you can.” And he’s right. Even today […]

Secular, Liberal Egypt: We Hardly Knew Ya

One of the nice things about human history is that no matter how much people or their leaders misjudge events and make a hash of things, within a few centuries, the debris is cleared away, and we can have another go at getting things right. Yes, I am thinking about the Middle East. Whether or […]

Loathing Conservative Christian Candidates

Time magazine didn’t mind ruffling feathers in religious America with a cover this summer that asked “Is Hell Dead?” Never mind that America is overwhelmingly Christian. Then Time found only one letter worth plucking out to feature in large, bold type from a man in Dallas: “Hell is easy to define. It would be spending […]

Gingrich the compassionate

Newt Gingrich wants to pay poor kids to clean toilets. And all of the right people are horrified. The Nation says Gingrich is running on “a platform that seems to have been written by the unreformed Ebenezer Scrooge.” The editors of the Newark Star-Ledger proclaim Gingrich wants to “bring back the days of Oliver Twist.” […]

Pest Wife Regression

Two years ago, my man left his 22-year marriage to be with me, but he told me he loved his former wife and would always want a friendship with her. I accepted that (I’m friends with my ex), but I’m bothered by the amount of contact they have. They do have two adult children and […]

Gingrich, Romney: The Electability Gap

As the first caucuses and primaries approach, Rasmussen has Newt Gingrich opening up a very significant lead over Mitt Romney (38-17 percent) among primary voters nationally. But at the same time, Republicans tend to feel that Romney is the more electable of the two. Asked in the Fox News poll of mid-November who would have […]

Your Opinion, My Opinion

A friend of mine frequently says that “everyone is entitled to his own opinion — but no one is entitled to the wrong facts.” Yet it seems to be universally true that confidence seems to go with ignorance; the less we know, in many cases, the more dogmatic we are in our statements. I love […]

How the Left Lies its Way to ‘Facts’

There was once a famous liberal congressman from New York who reminded his opponents that they could have their own opinions but not their own facts. This, of course, was Daniel Patrick Moynihan, one of the few respectable liberals of his or any other day. But, for the most part, the left operates on pushing […]

A Fair Shake

Once again, the current White House occupant is spending your money to fly in Air Force One to a campaign stop. The location of his many stops varies, but his message doesn’t. He continues to cry out for everyone in America to get a fair shake. According to America’s emperor wannabe, the rich are preventing […]

What Is It About Tim Tebow That Creates TDS?

I seriously would like to know. Here is a good kid (you know you’re getting older when you call a a twenty something NFL quarterback a kid) who hasn’t had run ins with the law, doesn’t beat women, hasn’t been caught up in a nightclub shooting, doesn’t wander around with a posse, hasn’t failed a […]

The Arab Spring: Lancing The Boil

When you lance a boil, it’s a difficult, painful business and what comes out of it is really ugly. The same is true of Arab Spring which, in large part, began with what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama has handled it extremely poorly and the results so far have been ugly, but to […]

The Problem With The Occupy Wall Street Generation

Playing baseball games without keeping score. Parents not allowed to cheer for one side or the other at basketball games. Refusing to use red ink to grade tests because it’s too jarring. No dodgeball. Participation trophies. Telling kids, “You’re special,” without their doing anything to show they’re special. Newsflash: You may be special to God, […]

Christmas Books

The joys of Christmas do not include coping with crowds at shopping malls or wracking your brains trying to figure out what to get as a gift for someone who already seems to have everything. Books are a way out of both situations. You don’t even have to go to a bookstore, with books so […]

Feds Allow Arsenic in Apple Juice?

This past year, I started writing a health and fitness column through Creators.com, titled “C-Force.” It is no surprise that in researching for that column, I’ve discovered repeat offenses of food and beverage tampering by the federal government. But arsenic in apple juice? Dr. Oz received significant flak when he reported in September that “some […]

The Orwellian American Left

As I heard Barack Obama and his propaganda minister, Jay Carney, endorsing tax cuts as a vehicle for economic growth, I was reminded, again, of George Orwell’s “1984” and the striking similarities between his Oceania and the American left’s vision for America. Oceania’s Big Brother regime had “four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of […]
