In his Second Inaugural Address, President Barack Obama pledged shared allegiance to preserving the Declaration’s unalienable rights that bind us together as exceptional Americans. Too bad he doesn’t share the Founders’ understanding of Liberty nor the Constitution’s insistence upon the separation of limited government powers necessary to preserve it. The Commander-in-Chief that even Algeria’s  counterpart doesn’t bother to call when authorizing military actions that deem | Read More »

Environmental studies pave the way for Second Obama Inaugural (despite expected impact of Port-a-Potty leakage on Potomac River waters) as Keystone XL Pipeline’s, and more than 15 million other, underemployed study food stamp and welfare applications If only we studied the affect of EPA regulations on human employment, the biographies of Democratic presidential nominees and what happened in Benghazi as thoroughly as we do the | Read More »

Conservatives who petition the White House empower his dictatorial inclinations and separation of powers grabs White House now requires ‘We the People’ petitions to have 100,000 signatures for official response: President Barack Obama’s deputies have quadrupled the number of signatures that petitioners on the administration’s “We the People” website must collect to get an official response from the White House, following a series of popular, provocative and disrespectful | Read More »

Americans just re-elected a President that shares the views of his nominee for Secretary of Defense To hear most Senate Republicans and not a few Democrats advise of a reluctance to consent to the appointment of former Senator Chuck Hagel to head the Pentagon, one would imagine that President Barack Obama is the best friend Israel ever had; was about to go to war with | Read More »

Only President Barack Obama can cause the U.S. to default on its sovereign debt, and congressional Republicans must make this fact clear to the American people before the current debt ceiling is reached. And only by owning the definition of “default” does the minority party in control of only one house of Congress have any chance of using the debt limit debate to rein in | Read More »

Liberal scarlet letters, uncivil disobedience, press pitchforks and MLK What ever happened to unlisted telephone numbers? In the Age of Obama, the right to privacy has apparently been reduced to the owners of diaphragms and their absolute sovereignty of differing DNA in their respective wombs. Gun bearing ownership and abortion are legal in the United States. The former is explicitly spelled out in the second of the Constitution’s | Read More »

Congressional Republicans should let Dems own the spending cliff and re-learn the English language Before outlining what would be optimum tea partier conservative action by the House in response to the Obama/Reid-approved, “American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012″, Senate fiscal cliff bill, passed less than three hours into A.D. 2013; let us get our New Year’s bearings straight. We now live at the bottom of | Read More »

Jobs recessions, anemic growth, and declining living standards don’t have to last this long in America Who knew that the mere listing of Jim Powell’s 2003 book, FDR’s Folly: How Roosevelt and his New Deal prolonged the Great Depression, among those in a recent column chronicling literary works I have found most informative and influential to my post-matriculation economic education, would subject me to the wrath of a | Read More »

Have conservative Republicans in the House the numbers and the courage to seize party leadership, play government shutdown/debt ceiling chicken with President Obama and speak debt cliff truth to entitlement seniors’ power? It took 23 months, but the historic 2010 tea partier-led GOP landslide finally paid off conservatives with the rejection of Speaker John Boehner’s surrender of upper income tax earners to the tender mercies of President | Read More »

Could 2013 see the first GOP tea partier ambulatory duck House of Representatives, and if so, how should it deal with a Lame Obama Duck President? Whew. Who knew that the Republican tea partier class of the 2010 landslide, after 23 months of impotence at the hands of their establishment “leadership” posing as Bob Dole-like tax collectors for the welfare state, were brewing for a Boehner-bruising as their last | Read More »

  A great man, Robert Bork, died today at the age of 85. Most of the news coverage will focus on a relatively minor Watergate-related event and will mischaracterize the major event when the U.S. Senate rejected his nomination to the United States Supreme Court in 1987. Few will emphasize those aspects of his life that I would argue have had the most positive impact on American | Read More »

  Who knew that a U.S. president presiding over the worst economy since the 1930s would get re-elected by offering “free” contraceptives to 30-year old female Georgetown law students suffering from reduced carnal knowledge anxiety and Sharia-slavery to Egyptian women? And that to hear truth spoken to power one must tune in to female Russian punk rockers? Where have all the real men gone? One plays | Read More »

Democrats can’t let any crisis go to waste, so let’s make a trade Modern day liberalism, like guns, magazines, oil and the genie, are; and they aren’t going back in the bottle.

Secretary of State won’t face tough questioning from Senator McCain et al this week after all… America is safe from the threat of  Susan Rice taking 3am phone calls requesting increased embassy security next year.

  Today, December 7, 1941, we remember the waking of a sleeping giant by megalomaniacs ruling the former Empire of Japan.

The pain of the infamous deaths of that day and the | Read More »

Sen. Jim DeMint’s resignation to accept the presidency of the Heritage Foundation opens the door for Palmetto State Governor to appoint Rep. Tim Scott to replace him replacement in January.

  It is clear that the re-elected President Barack Obama will not sign a budget bill that advances the goals of non-defense spending cuts nor economic growth. As incredible as it may seem to many of us, he and most of his Democratic Party colleagues in Congress simply do not share those historically basic goals. The only concession he made to either of those goals in | Read More »

  Still think President Barack Obama champions the middle class in their ongoing struggle to overcome the mess he inherited from Bush as he demands the raising of tax rates only on those earning over $250K/year? Well, it seems that the mess his re-election bequeathed has him threatening to raise taxes on middle class homeowners. In response to a question on Twitter asking if homeowner | Read More »

  A Chief murders the mother of their child before turning the murder weapon on himself in Kansas City and the media immediately blames America’s “gun culture” and an inanimate object. One would think that an American president had just been assassinated by a Communist in Texas and was “obviously” compelled to murder by the Southern culture of racism and hate, but I digress.
