President Obama’s blindness to government spending problem, and insistence on ever more tax increases on the rich towards always moving fair share-goalposts, makes refusal of the Republican House to raise the debt ceiling an acceptable option. In the wake of the 2010 tea partier conservative epic GOP mid-term election landslide that returned control of the House of Representatives to the party, this columnist urged Republicans | 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 »

Americans at home and abroad at the mercy of indifferent and unaccountable Capitol City, with no Katniss in sight [As this column was being prepared, we learned that its main subject was hospitalized for treatment of a blood clot resulting from a concussion she sustained earlier this month. We wish Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a full and quick recovery.] Four dead in Benghazi after | Read More »

Unqualified failure is the surest sign of a “token”, which precisely defines the Obama Economy Cries of “Uncle Tom” and “race trait” issued from liberal Democrats’ lips, attacking S.C. Governor Nikki Haley’s choice to fill the U.S. Senate seat of Jim DeMint, before the press conference announcing the choice of Rep. Tim Scott was over. Consider, for example, The New Yorker’s take on the decision of the | Read More »

With his years-long Azores sabbatical over and Tucker (at the foot of gamecock’s Stone Mountain of Georgia roost) retirement from election predictions ongoing since the infantilization of the 2012 American electoral majority, Cockstradamus returns as DeVine Law and G. Sand Lapper’s guest end-of-year columnist for requisite annual oracle duties. That should be “as a cigarette should”, but I digress (see #88 Dale Junior below*), but | Read More »

Reading is fundamental, and never more so than now, given the result of the Election of 2012. Christmas is over but discount sales have begun and its past time for a re-education in American essentials, including non-American literature that speak to the Judeo-Christian values necessary for a non-tyrannical state. [Below are several lists of books we have found helpful in inculcating the values and principles | Read More »

Would stronger civil mental illness commitment laws or violent free speech restrictions protect us from loony gun control nuts? Last we checked the Sierra Club hasn’t the power to impose draconian environmental protection laws that kill jobs and the National Rifle Association hasn’t replaced Congress and the President as the legislative and executive branches of government. Lobbyists, more accurately referred to as Americans exercising free | Read More »

  The first female Indian-American governor in U.S. history today appointed the first African-American U.S. Senator in South Carolina history. Governor Nikki Haley’s appointment of the Palmetto State congressman that defeated the son of the state’s legendary Strom Thurmond in an 80%+ white district will make Tim Scott the only Black member of the U.S. Senate when it convenes in January. That’s enough obeisance to the Mainstream | Read More »

The only hope for an America that would reward such epic failure by re-electing Obama and a Democratic Senate, is to accelerate their re-education in the consequences of liberal Democrat economic policies. Speaker John Boehner should announce that he has heard the voice of the people and will honor that voice by letting the President’s agenda be fully enacted so that there will be no | Read More »
