It’s Independence Day, and I can’t help recalling Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote: “That government is best which governs least.” We sometimes forget that this country was founded by people who desperately wanted to extricate themselves from precisely the kind of overbearing, dictatorial central government under whose thumb we now find ourselves. More than anything else, the early American Colonists wanted simply to be free. Free | Read More »
The most annoying part of the “Fast and Furious” debate is the constant reference to the ill-fated program as being “botched” – as if there were a legitimate motive behind it, but that “mistakes were made” that caused an otherwise noble idea to fail. Wrong. The violence and carnage that occurred in Mexico as a result of the “Fast and Furious” program was not some | Read More »
President Obama’s recent announcement (or should I say, pronouncement) that the Justice Department is basically going to give a pass to illegal aliens who just happen to fit into a certain demographic has engendered all sorts of reactions. Oddly, the response has included little of the kind of outrage one would expect. From the New York Times: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/19/what-obamas-immigration-decision-might-mean-for-2012/ “Even in an era where partisanship is | Read More »
History has taught us that what we don’t know CAN kill us. Pearl Harbor. The 9/11 attacks. The election of Barak Obama. And now we have the “Fast and Furious” scandal, which is currently embroiling Obama’s inept and corrupt Attorney General, Eric Holder. But will the “Fast and Furious” calamity eventually evoke a creepy feeling of deja vu? In the following excerpt from www.keenobserver.blogtownhall.com Rich | Read More »
[Here, unedited, are the words of a friend from Wisconsin, who gives a compelling commentary on why the recall failed. (Hint: It wasn't about campaign donations) - Ed] To all leftists, occupiers, unionistas and malcontents: Thank you! What an election! We couldn’t have done it without you. Without your tantrums, outbursts and boorish behavior we might have stayed home for this election. Without your filthy, | Read More »
[Since I have had so many requests to repost this piece, I offer it for your consideration. It originally appeared on Memorial Day, 2011 - Ed.] The Fallen Perhaps it is merely age, or the wisdom that comes with it, but Memorial Day has come to mean more to me every year. It may also have something to do with the people I have met | Read More »
You have likely heard (or at least heard about) the North Carolina school teacher who went ballistic on a student for daring to question the character of President Obama. The full, unedited recording is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjpWaESn_9g The disturbing thing about this incident is that this teacher is not an anomaly – she is closer to the norm. In public schools across the country, the operative | Read More »
It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the parallels between the endless attacks by today’s liberals and Democrats on “the rich” and the Nazis’ demonizing of Jews in the 1930s. Even more obvious is the way in which the Hollywood media has acted as the propaganda arm of the “hate-the-rich” movement. The Nazis knew very well that in order to gain support for their takeover | Read More »
You’ve doubtless heard about Barak Obama’s $15 Million love-fest at the home of left-wing film star George Clooney: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2142263/Obama-attends-fundraiser-George-Clooneys-mansion-LA-Hollywood-pals.html?ITO=1490 We get it that those in the entertainment industry are overwhelmingly left-wing, and usually vote Democrat, but what is it about Obama that engenders such fawning worship from the big bucks Hollywood film crowd? Perhaps it is simply that Obama’s life is just as much a fantasy as their | Read More »
Happy May Day, when the army of unwashed, unemployed (and mostly unemployable) neo-communists attempt to disrupt the lives of the majority of Americans who actually work for a living. The number of websites dedicated to the “movement” seems to grow daily: http://www.maydaynyc.org/ www.occupymay1st.org occupywallst.org/ You will find lots of socialist rhetoric at any of these sites, but what exactly do these generally vapid, obnoxious “protesters” | Read More »
