An Interview With Congressman John Carter

Late last week, I did an interview with Texas Congressman John Carter. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our interview: There is some concern that the Ethics Committee in the House is brushing aside serious complaints. Do you think they’re doing the type of work they need to be doing to make sure […]

Army Doubles Down on Political Correctness That Enabled Hasan

The governmedia has been twisting itself into pretzels in attempts to justify siding with Muslim terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan against the memories of the 13 Americans he murdered. “Compassion fatigue” doesn’t even begin to pass the laugh test, but our liberal rulers have an alternate explanation for Hasan’s killing spree: he was harassed for being […]

The Wall Must Go

Even self-important left-wing pop stars are good for one thing — comic relief: Irish rockers U2 returned to Berlin for a free mini-concert Thursday in front of the Brandenburg Gate, playing its classic singles and a duet with Jay-Z even as the show was obscured from public view by a nearly 6-1/2-foot (two-meter) high metal […]

East Germany Is Gone – Boo Hoo

You have to read this one to believe it. Bruni de la Motte, a child of the GDR, tells us how hard life has been for her since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The irony is that while she tries to convince of all that was good and wonderful about her former homeland, she […]

Our Commander in Chief Doesn’t “Get” the Military

“What Vice President Cheney calls ‘dithering,’ President Obama calls his solemn responsibility to the men and women in uniform and to the American public,” said Gibbs. “I think we’ve all seen what happens when somebody doesn’t take that responsibility seriously.” ~White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Life is full of mysteries, but chief among them […]

“Sweeping” Health System Plans Pass By 5 Votes

You have to wonder what the Founders, who shed blood to create a new country, would think about this Handing President Obama a hard-fought victory, the House narrowly approved a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s health care system on Saturday night, advancing legislation that Democrats said could stand as their defining social policy achievement. I’m […]

House Democrats vote to increase Republican gains in 2010

The good news about the House vote yesterday to approve PelosiCare is that the city where I was born, Cincinnati, Ohio will, come January 2001, once again have a Republican Congressman. Now that Steve Driehaus, who currently represents the Queen City, voted in favor of HR 3962, he has all but guaranteed that Steve Chabot, […]

Anwar al Awlaki, Fanatical Mentor to Nidal Malik Hasan, Calls for ‘Allah’s Victory’ Over West

From Jawa Report, here’s the webpage for Anwar al Awlaki, Nidal Malik Hasan’s religious mentor at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia. Al Awlaki boasts of the Taliban “making U.S. soldiers” cry in Afghanistan and argues for destroying enemy armies: “Establishing Islamic sharia is an obligation, and fighting in the cause of Allah […]

Conservative talk radio weekly highlights: Nov 2-6

My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND. It’s got lots of news and FREE audio/video clips of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and other shows this week. As usual, some stuff didn’t make it into the column: FREE audio clip of Greg Gutfeld, Andy Levy (sitting in for John Gibson) […]

Islam had everything to do with Fort Hood

Insane people reflect the obsessions of their times. In the old days, insane people heard messages from the Devil. In the post-nuclear age, they were in contact with Martians. And nowadays, if their Muslim, Islam gives the impetus to their urges. Indeed, Islam is an all-purpose blank check for bad behavior. As my cousin, the […]

British Muslims approve of Muslim soldiers killing fellow troops

It’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill your fellow troops. Have you […]

Watch the Democratic dominoes fall

There is a lot of talk about whether, looking ahead to the 2010 elections, we’re looking at 1980, or 1994, or 1932 or some other American political year that I can’t even think of right now. I actually think we’re looking at a different year altogether: 1989. As you may recall, 1989 was a big […]

Buy What Democrats Say to Buy or GO TO JAIL

It has come to this, America. Democrats have decided that if you don’t agree with their policies, you are to be fined. And if you don’t pay the fine, you are a criminal and will be sentenced to jail. That’s right, Democrats are criminalizing dissent. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to leave […]

The “Myth” of American Heroism

How bizarre is it when the number two link on Google for Brian Chontosh, a bona fide war hero and recipient of the Navy Cross, goes to a site devoted to “debunking” urban myths? Is the idea that a Marine officer could perform acts of heroism so outlandish that it requires debunking? If so, there’s […]

GM’s Opel Decision Stokes Anger in Germany

Publisher’s Note: It is my pleasure once again to publish a guest essay from a reader, Bill Dawson. A U.S. citizen, Bill has lived in Austria since 2000. He blogs regularly about German History rather than contemporary politics, but he has his finger on the pulse of the German-language media and offers an interesting perspective […]

About That AMA Endorsement

Yesterday President Obama took time out of what one would presume was a busy day to tout the fact that the AMA and the AARP had endorsed the latest House version of health care reform. But it appears that some of the rank and file are none too happy with the endorsement. In fact many […]
