The alleged GOP “war on women” narrative being woven by Democrats including Obama can better be described as a Democratic manipulation and demeaning of women. Personally, I have always felt it was insulting to women in general to define “women’s rights” around abortion or, more generally, “reproductive rights.” Despite the alleged liberation of women, it is like saying that childbirth- or the decision to have | Read More »
In a recent article in The Atlantic, First Amendment lawyer Marvin Ammori wrote an argument that Obama should run against the Supreme Court and make it an issue in the 2012 campaign. Starting with reasons not to do so, he quickly comes to the conclusion that Obama should discard those reasons and attack. The first reason is strategic. Obama’s approval rating stands near 47% while | Read More »
Happy Easter to all RedState readers. On this day, while there is a lull in politics- unless you are watching the Sunday morning talk shows- it would be good to look at where the race for the Presidency and the Senate stands at this point in time. Most of this is based upon the most recent polling data from a variety of sources specific to | Read More »
Barack Obama has decided to take on the Supreme Court with his rhetoric regarding the health care oral arguments. Stating confidence that the Court will not overturn a law enacted by a duly elected legislature, self-proclaimed University of Chicago Law Professor, Obama, apparently failed to teach his students a mainstay of constitutional law. Since 1803, in the case of Marbury v. Madison, the concept of | Read More »
1. Why do liberals refer to “social justice” or “economic justice?” Shouldn’t it simply be “justice?” 2. If global warming is shrinking the polar bear population due to loss of habitat, why has their population increased from 5,000 to 25,000 over the last 50 years? 3. Why is Obama our “first black President” if his mother was white? Wouldn’t he be our first “half black | Read More »
I believe it was either on Real Clear Politics or Politico where I recently read an article about five Obama policies that have drawn the ire of Liberals and Conservatives alike, but for different reasons. I cannot really get into the head of a Liberal (can anyone?) and the gist of this entry is to underscore the huge discrepancy in treatment by the media when | Read More »
In 2012, Obama will inevitably use two strategies to win reelection. Being the incumbent, he must run on his record. Given that record, it is dubious at best. He gave us the auto bail out, the stimulus, Obamacare, Frank-Dodd and tried to tip the balance of power towards his cronies in the unions through liberalizing the NLRB. His Justice Department has sued Arizona when they | Read More »
Obviously, the economy and jobs and whose vision for the future of a secure and prosperous United States will decide the race for President this year. This is an argument if the Republicans unite behind a common, over-reaching policy and philosophy that guides their solutions. With all the talk of the 1% and the 99%, income inequality will be a major topic. Instead of engaging | Read More »
One would be remiss to ignore the Obama Administration’s latest example of hypocrisy, stupidity, and attack on religion. To recount, as part of Obamacare, it now appears that religious organizations must cover contraception in their offered health care insurance packages with employees. Obviously, this has raised the ire of the Catholic Church in particular. First, as a Catholic, I can safely say that many Catholics | Read More »
As expected, the Supreme Court has decided to weigh in on Arizona’s illegal immigration law- SB 1070. As most are aware, the law was signed into effect by Governor Jan Brewer and was immediately challenged in federal court by Holder’s Justice Department. The District Court then issued an injunction against certain sections of the law and the very liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has | Read More »
