And at what Ivy League school will the surviving Boston Bombing “religion of peace” terrorist be named professor upon his release from prison? Or will the Left demand that charge be dropped against him since he wasn’t Mirandized soon enough after he was captured by police? After all, months from now, can’t we be confident that the “What-difference-at-this-point-does-it-make?-wisdom” of the smartest woman on the planet and first | Read More »

So long as the horrors of murder (especially including the sights and sounds of bone and flesh being broken and torn apart) remain inside the Roe and Casey-protected womb, outside courtrooms and un-covered by most media outlets; abortion-on-demand as birth control, and the barbaric American society it wrought, is safe from the kind of morally righteous indignation that coverage of the Kermit Gosnell murder trial would naturally evoke. | Read More »

And any other truth inconvenient to their liberal Democratic Party agenda. But at least Augusta National now has two female members and, as with the catch-all “The Secretary shall decide”, if Obamcare law is otherwise inconvenient to Big Government regulators; CBS can always cite the calling in of a fan to allege rule violations to justify not disqualifying ratings-driver Tiger Woods for rules violations that otherwise require disqualification: The | Read More »

Quitting your job is fine. Just get out of freedom’s way when you do. Every time this former labor union lawyer and son/grandson of former Brotherhood of Railway (Southern/Norfolk Southern) Carmen union members expresses any negative opinion of the union movement or even any particular union local, I endure the wrath of pro-union Democrats, family and friends. That wrath usually takes one of two broad | Read More »

Liberal trial lawyer Democrats, small government tea partier conservative Republicans, and U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justices Scalia, Thomas, Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor quietly found common civil liberties ground during gay marriage week. Observing the blanket press coverage of the recent week of oral arguments concerning California’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act before the nation’s highest court, one could be forgiven for | Read More »

Blacks and Democrats have been comfortable tolerating high unemployment for whites and blacks since at least the 1930s. The real question Bob Johnson, founder and CEO of BET Network and owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats, should ask is why Blacks tolerate the failed Democratic Party to the tune of regularly giving them over 90% of their votes. Instead, he issued the following, late last week: This | Read More »

Conservatives should welcome the Supreme Court’s inquiry in “standing” issues. The U.S. Constitution makes clear that: “The judicial power of the United States shall extend to all Cases…arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and…-to Controversies to which the United States shall be a party…” – Article III, Section 2. This “cases and controversies” clause makes clear that courts do not exist | Read More »

Only by emasculating the Equal Protection Clause, again, could the United States Supreme Court strike down the will of Golden State people to maintain traditional marriage. Oral arguments were heard today in the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry by the nine justices of the nation’s highest court, with the fate of same-sex marriage and the constitutional rule of law hanging in the balance. Twice in the past | Read More »

Is there any doubt, despite how far down the nanny state, big government, socialist road has traveled the United States since the 1930s, that if President Barack Obama had seized Americans’ bank accounts , with or without a bill passed by Congress authorizing same and/or a ruling of the Supreme Court deeming such action constitutional despite its obvious ex post facto violation of the Fifth Amendment’s Just | Read More »

Vernal Equinox brings conservative resurrection hopes for Republican Party courage to shut down the government after Campaign 2012 GOP autopsy. If there is one lesson this tea partier conservative learned from the re-election of President Barack Obama that we never expected to see, it is that Republicans can not count on a majority of voters to hold Democrats responsible for the failed results of their | Read More »

CNN’s Roland Martin deems the post-Campaign 2012 Republican Party “autopsy” premature based upon election results at the state level and former House Speaker Tip O’Neil’s “all politics is local” admonition: On the national level, the GOP controls the U.S. House of Representatives while Democrats control the U.S. Senate and the Oval Office. But the real power (emphasis added) for the Republicans is on the state level, and there they | Read More »

Can the poor afford corned beef, Irish whiskey and the gasoline to go get it on food stamps? After all, they had to give up green Le Sueur brand peas for generic many Saint Patrick Days ago. As delightful a world without snakes and other reptiles may be, Patrick has been honored as the patron saint of Ireland since at least the seventh century for | Read More »

Riots have raged for the last three days in Brooklyn in response to the death of a young black man, who allegedly aimed at pistol at police, from a shot in the back. Arguing for federal gun control laws in January, to mirror those that have obtained in the Empire State for decades, Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel argued that: “…some of the southern areas have cultures that we have | Read More »

…and via a Bin Laden-by-marriage no less Attorney General Eric Holder was going to define his career by trying the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (pictured), and the Bush Administration that “tortured” him, in a federal courtroom just blocks from where the Twin Towers fell in downtown Manhattan; rather than in a Military Tribunal held at his Guantanamo Bay prison home that President Barack | Read More »

Who cares if the stimulus bill failed to keep unemployment under 8% or that health insurance premiums are up despite the enactment of Obamacare into law. President Barack Hussein Obama promised that the sequester would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs, and you can take that promise to the bank (presumably including | Read More »

Or, the courage of ruling class Republican cowards vs tea partiers and a diversity-challenged  conservative conference. One man with courage can make a majority, but it’s usually constituted by a plurality of cowards. Witness President Barack Obama’s bold sequester threats against the salaries of White House janitors who clean up the messes of sequester-proof Sperlings, Lews, Hillarys and Obamas that make the messes. The populist | Read More »

Republicans need to learn when they have won an argument, rather than continuously demanding more “answers” to supposedly unanswered questions or more explicit admissions, from Democrats; whether it relates to Benghazis, sequesters, etc. Very early in the aftermath of the September 11, 2012 attack on our consulate in Libya, we learned the following from reliable reports and Obama Administration statements: Terrorist attacks at or near | Read More »

The economic sky is falling, but not because of puny, across-the-board decreases in previously scheduled spending increases* set to be imposed on March 1st. Conservatives and Republicans that opposed the economic policies of President Barack Obama enacted into law by his Democrat Congress in 2009-10 aren’t Chicken Littles either, since their warnings that the Stimulus, Dodd-Frank, and Obamacare wouldn’t produce a recovery worthy of the | Read More »

The Great Emancipator, a great moment, a great mistake and the Oscars DeVine Law, even during our increasingly strict TV sabbatical of the past several years, always watches the Academy Awards even if we don’t see most of the nominated movies until they appear years later on TNT. We especially miss the days when Billy Crystals and Johnny Carsons hosted the event, but the annual | Read More »

Not long ago, Pope Benedict XVI made a personal donation to the restoration of the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, the site of the ancient town of Hippo Regius, where the greatest theologian of the ancient church served as bishop from 395 to 430. It was here on September 26, 426, that Augustine met with his flock to name his successor as the | Read More »
