The Poor Aren’t Buying Obama’s Class Warfare
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 14th at 11:00 AM |
Obama is forcing our troops to fight a politically correct war in Afghanistan; however, he is prosecuting his class warfare with no holds barred. Obama and the Democrats are the Navy SEALS of class warfare. Fortunately, his target audience, the poor, are not impressed with his ferocity. Obama’s support among the poorest Americans has dropped to an all time low, according to the latest Gallup | Read More »
Boundless Immigration: The Silent Killer of the Welfare State
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 12th at 12:53 PM |
As we finally embark on the imperative discussion of entitlement reform, we cannot overlook immigration and its disproportionate effect on the welfare state. Our immigration system is stuck in the Kennedy days of the 1960′s when our population was half of what it is today. Over the past few decades, in addition to the migration of 12 million+ illegals, we have allowed legal immigration to spiral | Read More »
It’s Obamacare, Stupid
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 11th at 06:44 PM |
Many establishment conservatives are agog with joy over the grand sellout of a budget deal. They feel that John Boehner was the real winner in the debate. The problem is that they are all focusing on the dollar amount of the discretionary spending cuts. They are forgetting the 800-pound gorilla in the room; Obamacare. The cost of O-care to our economy, liberty, consumer choice, and | Read More »
When Will the Real Fight Finally Commence?
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 10th at 05:14 PM |
Over the weekend, Speaker John Boehner showed that he is even more conservative than the Tea Party. While the petulant rubes in the Tea Party were credulously focusing on the ‘small potatoes’ of the 2011 budget, Boehner wisely decided to proceed to the real fight; the debt ceiling and the FY 2012 budget. In the process, he even secured $38 billion, or 1%, in cuts | Read More »
Exclusive Report: RSC Budget, Honest Solutions, Builds Upon Ryan’s Blueprint
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 7th at 04:19 PM |
While Obama was rubbing shoulders with noted bigot Al Sharpton, House conservatives have been working arduously to formulate a coherent budget and stave off the impending debt crisis. Earlier this week, Paul Ryan bravely offered the first steps toward achieving fiscal solvency and vitiating dependency on government. Ryan’s diligence has provided the groundwork for a debate among conservatives as to how best reinstate the ideals | Read More »
Ryan’s Budget: A Conservative View- The Excellent, the Good, and the Need for Improvement
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 5th at 03:39 PM |
The moment we have been anticipating has finally arrived. House Budget Committee Chairman has released his budget for FY 2012, along with his blueprint for tax and entitlement reform over the next decade. This budget proposal, which would cut $5.8 trillion from the CBO baseline over the next decade, is a mature and well balanced plan emanating from a city full of fatuous demagoguery. It is important to note | Read More »

GAO Report: Limited Control Over our Own Border
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 1st at 12:00 PM |
Obama has no problem ignoring Congress to use our military on behalf of Al-Qaeda backed rebels in a country that has no interest to our security. Yet, he eagerly abdicates his core constitutional responsibility to protect our own border and sovereignty. On Wednesday, Richard M. Stana, director of homeland security issues at the Government Accountability Office, testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security regarding | Read More »
Hey Senator Schumer, Who are the Real Extremists?
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 29th at 04:20 PM |
As the Democrats continue to bankrupt the nation with crushing debt, and stymie Republican attempts to balance the budget, we were beginning to wonder if they had their own plan to achieve budget solvency. The New York Times just revealed their monumental plan for the future of our fiscal stability. Drum roll……Labeling Republicans and tea partiers as extremists! “Moments before a conference call with reporters | Read More »
The Obama Doctrine: Funding Terrorists in Israel and Libya, Silence on Syria
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 29th at 01:28 PM |
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been duping leftists in Western governments for years into thinking he is Mr. Peace. During the past decade, successive governments in the U.S. and Europe have been genuflecting to Abbas and his Fatah terrorist organization. They have showered the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority with more foreign aid per capita than even any legitimate country. The implicit purpose was to strengthen | Read More »
Senate Action Alert: Small Business Bill
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 28th at 04:44 PM |
The major legislative item on the agenda in the Senate this week will be The Small Business Reauthorization Act (S. 493). Republicans plan to use this bill as a platform to promote critical pieces of legislation through the process of non-germane amendments to the bill. Here are some vital amendments that will be debated and voted on throughout the week: Senator Mitch McConnell is offering | Read More »
No More Extensions of Unemployment Benefits
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 28th at 08:11 AM |
Amidst record long-term unemployment, Democrats are trying to extend unemployment welfare yet again. Will Republicans continue to obediently follow them in accelerating more creeping socialism? Or will last December serve as the Republicans’ final act to perpetuate unemployment welfare? Beware the doomsday TARP coalition of Republicans. Conservatives must be ever vigilant of those Republicans who are willing to vote for an entitlement program one last | Read More »
We Need Conservative Leaders Like Josh Mandel in the Senate
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 23rd at 04:57 PM |
Yesterday, The Columbus Dispatch reported that Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel is leaning towards a run for Senate in 2012. Josh Mandel is precisely the person to take out left-wing kook and famed Nazi hunter, Sherrod Brown. We need Josh in the Senate. Conservatives worked assiduously in 2012 to elect Republicans who would not only oppose Obama’s proposals, but would also stem the tide of 80 | Read More »
Libya is Not Our Fight
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 21st at 04:31 PM |
Liberals have a penchant for engaging in the wrong wars and fighting them the wrong way. They are always meek and submissive towards those who represent an existential threat to America, such as Iran, Russia, China, Syria, and Venezuela. When they finally choose to engage in military intervention, it is usually for a dubious cause or for the purpose of some humanitarian aid that lacks | Read More »
Nostalgia with ’95 Political Narrative Should Cut Both Ways
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 17th at 08:41 PM |
Republican leadership is waging a civil war against conservatives over the budget, due to their visceral fear of a government shutdown. Their inexplicable fixation on the 1995 political paradigm has traumatized them from repeating the alleged mistakes of Newt Gingrich and the 104th congress. Such a one-dimensional focus should logically dictate that we attempt to replicate the successes of that era as well. While the | Read More »
The Devastation of Market Distortion is Coming Home to Roost
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 16th at 05:14 PM |
Wholesale Food Prices Highest since 74′ Food Stamps Surge in West These two headlines are quintessential examples of the perennial cycle of government intervention. They offer a vivid portrayal of how the Democrats perfidiously inflate the price of food so that the maximum number of people will be dependent upon their food programs, thus granting them a permanent electoral constituency. Obama and the Democrat economists | Read More »
So, Which Murderers are your Taxes Funding?
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 14th at 08:34 AM |
As the budget battle rages on and as we continue to fund domestic baby-killers, do we have to fund foreign ones as well?! For years, the left wing foreign policy establishment has rapturously promoted the ‘Palestinians’ as the cause célèbre of our national security interests. Despite their unyielding commitment to terror, these supercilious ‘wizards of smart’ have credulously identified the creation of a ‘Palestinian’ state | Read More »
CRS Report: U.S. is Leader in Fossil Fuel Resources
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 10th at 07:56 PM |
While Obama continues his implacable war on fossil fuels and campaigns for impotent and unreliable energy sources, he incessantly condemns oil as ‘the energy of the past’. He is obviously referring to his self-fulfilling dream of eradicating oil from our economy; not the proven reality of our oil reserves. According to the latest research by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), America has more proven reserves | Read More »
Joe Manchin: The Cowardly Faux Moderate
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 9th at 07:11 PM |
Perhaps no politician is more willing to engage in political acrobatics than Joe Manchin. There is no degree to which he will not contort his political statements and ideological alignment in order to obtain and retain power in West Virginia. Manchin aired an infamous TV ad depicting himself taking aim at the cap and trade bill while campaigning to join the anti-gun, pro-’cap and trade’ | Read More »
Now is the Time to Pass an ANWR Bill
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | March 8th at 07:58 AM |
In 1995, the Republican-controlled House and Senate passed a balanced budget act, which contained a provision to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil drilling and exploration. On December 6th of that year, President Bill Clinton vetoed the bill, ensuring that not a drop of oil would be extracted from the barren land of this 20 million acre area. We have literally been | Read More »
