Last night, I went with a friend to see Julie & Julia, a movie that abruptly lost me exactly halfway through. Although it’s a movie that has all the trappings of a good chick-flick, with enough beautifully photographed food to appeal to male foodies too, it contains some calculated insults that should drive all conservatives […]

I am sad, today. The Catholic News Service seems to have shown that its reporters don’t know a blamed thing about the Constitution. Unfortunately, this uninformed reporter for CNS is not an isolated case as too many Americans haven’t a clue about what is actually in the Constitution of the United States. For CNS, reporter […]

Racists. Fascists. Nazis. Mobs. Manufactured outrage. Dupes of Big Pharma. Completely fake. Astroturfed. Just a few of the words used against the people who are out there protesting against government run health system overhaul. Yet….. The outcome of the health-care debate weighed partially on Bird’s success (Jeremy Bird is deputy director of OFA), and on […]

It was after Pearl Harbor, after Midway, after many thousands of our American G.I.’s were killed in desperate battles with the Shintoist Japanese when President Franklin D. Roosevelt went on the radio and issued his heartfelt praise for Japan’s Shinto religion. To his American audience, in his celebratory message for Japan’s Shinto religious practices, President […]

Travel writer Arthur Frommer recently said that he will never visit any place in Arizona again. Is it because he was badly served at a Denny’s in Flagstaff? Maybe he didn’t like the turn down service at the Motel Six in Phoenix? Perhaps he was mad because the folks at the McDonald’s in Tucson didn’t […]

Dave Schuler poses an interesting question: As I’ve said before, I don’t believe that there’s a right to healthcare nor have I seen a coherent argument made that it is, merely a claim. However, bear with me. Is is possible to make a coherent argument that government-provided healthcare is a moral obligation but that our […]

After all the fulmination we heard over the last 8 years about Executive overreach and the importance of respecting the Constitution, it seems supremely ironic to see two “Constitutional scholars” blithely preparing to eviscerate the founding document of our Republic with the enthusiastic assistance of public servants elected by the 50 states: President Obama has […]

When I was living in England, all of my friends carried perpetual “overdrafts.” If they wanted more money than their account had, they’d go to the bank and basically arrange an informal, short-term loan by which the bank allowed them to draw on money that wasn’t really (or, as my friends saw it, wasn’t yet) […]

Although I can’t track it down now, I vividly remember reading a New York Times story about Obama in which a colleague said that Obama had the knack, at meetings, of making everyone in the room think that he agreed with them, even if the meeting was divisive. That is, he mouthed banalities with such […]

The mainstream media touted the news that President Barack Obama would be speaking to a “conservative talk radio host” this week to discuss his failing healthcare proposals. I eagerly clicked on the link to this news story, anxious to see which of my favorite hosts had scored this programming coup. The answer was: Michael Smerconish. […]

Sarah Palin is the only politician reflecting, in plain language, the will of the American people. Charles Krauthammer believes she should “leave the room”. He is referring, specifically, to the concept of death panels and then goes into the provision in the House Bill about end of life counseling. He then comes out against, I […]

With this I can rest my case against the obscenity known as homosexual adoption: AdoptionSF.org, a joint project of the City of San Francisco’s Human Services Agency and Family Builders by Adoption is advertising for adoptive parents on the “Mister Marcus” page of San Francisco’s Bay Area Reporter website. The Reporter’s front page motto is […]

Buyer’s remorse is setting in as voters become wise to the monumental scam the liberal media pulled on them by portraying Comrade Obama as a fit candidate for president. According to the latest Zogby poll, Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president’s job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. […]

Robert Stacy McCain wrote a slice of genius the other day. He writes of names and relationships and psychology: All Girls Named Tonya, the title of that childhood memoir no publisher will ever pay me to write, derives from a principle of human psychology first postulated by a genuinely evil little bastard who became one […]

Michael Barone recently wrote an article in which he pointed out, “there are more conservatives than Republicans and more Democrats than liberals”. Let that soak in for a minute and then consider today’s Paul Krugman article in which he seems a bit surprised by the Obama administration’s surprise that liberals are furious with him about […]

You can also expect the Democrats to go back to the “right-wing rage” meme as soon as the glow starts to wear off of Obama. After all, he ran as an “everything to everyone” candidate. He portrayed himself as a diehard liberal and a moderate, a hawk and a dove, a tax cutting free marketer […]

When the establishment lines up behind a candidate in a Republican primary, it makes that candidate hard to beat. Look back to Pat Toomey vs. Arlen Specter in 2004 and Lincoln Chafee vs. Steve Laffey in 2006 for two great examples of that. In both cases, the establishment was the decisive factor in beating candidates […]

Just to prove the old saying that Liberals will use any excuse to push their deranged agenda. Aaron Zelinsky manages to link Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, who was released from jail to return home to Lybia, as he is dying of prostate cancer, to the jihadis in […]

This event was great. Hope you enjoy my speech.

An AGW promoter driving down Scaremonger Lane? The hell you say! U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack defended efforts by the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress to pass climate change legislation, saying: “I start from the proposition that climate change is real. I know some disagree.” In an appearance Wednesday at the Iowa State […]

It’s the famous liberal two-step: First screw something up, then claim that it’s screwed up because there’s not enough government oversight (it’s the free market run wild!), and then step in and really screw it up in the name of “reform.” — Ann Coulter And yet, the fact is that “me Tarzan, you Jane” is […]

I had to laugh at an Associated Press headline that is so tortured as to be beyond belief. Naturally, the purpose of the twisted headline is so that the AP could get a Palin reference into its headline in order gain attention for its story, even though the story has little to do with the […]

Whistling past the graveyard, the White House is trying to write off its recent troubles in selling health care reform to it being nothing more than the problem of – August? Seriously. Because, you know, everyone understands that August just isn’t Obama’s month. Obama on a recent conference call with the DNCC discussing health care: […]

Three stories of the new hotness. First, as Erick Erickson points out, um, yeah, that fishy email thing did collect personal information. He catches Greg Sargent inadvertently telling the truth Now the DNC is striking back by pointing out that similar email collection is done on the Web sites of Senators and members of Congress, […]

Not everyone is left waiting indefinitely for crucial medication under Britain’s socialized medicine: A paedophile with a 30-year history of abusing children is being prescribed Viagra on the NHS… Roger Martin, 71, merely has to visit his GP to obtain the libido-enhancing drug, even though experts warn it will enable him to continue preying on […]

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Pan-European Picnic, an event more of us should remember: Twenty years ago Wednesday, members of Hungary’s budding opposition organized a picnic at the border with Austria to press for greater political freedom and promote friendship with their Western neighbors. Some 600 East Germans got word of the event and […]

We are in the middle of a recession and Americans are hurting. People are losing their jobs, they’re struggling to pay bills, and we’re having a huge debate about health care, much of which is being driven by the cost of care. Meanwhile, we’re spending exorbitant sums on the health care of illegal aliens: Last […]

After spending four years getting all fired up about Iraq, the issue almost completely dropped off of the radar screen the moment Barack Obama was elected. However, that’s only because Bush’s success with the surge made it clear that Obama was taking over a war we were winning handily. A loss at this point would […]

On August 16 the Associated Press published a story on the growing ratings success that Fox News is enjoying in this age of Obama. While all the facts that the AP reported are completely accurate, one key aspect of the Fox News ratings story was left out and it is an aspect that can materially […]

Pat Toomey is an outstanding conservative candidate and his numbers in Pennsylvania look good right now. He has an excellent chance to knock off the winner of the Arlen Specter/Joe Sestak primary battle and add a seat in the Senate for the GOP. What follows are my notes, not quotes, from a NRSC teleconference call […]
