The nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court has once again presented America with the vacuous exercise that is the confirmation hearings. Democrats are lauding praise on the nominee, occasionally in the form of a question while Republicans are asking questions for which no answers are really expected. And thus it has been since Robert Bork was sent packing by such Constitutional giants as | Read More »
By all accounts it appears as if we are finally coming out of the recession. We’ve had three quarters of positive economic growth, corporate profits have taken off like a rocket ship, job losses have been stemmed and the stock market is up 20% in the last 12 months. Despite all of the carping about the progressive Barack Obama and his seemingly anti-capitalist administration, things | Read More »
After a year and a half of demonstrable success in areas from robust job creation to fiscal restraint to disaster management, the hubris in the Oval Office has the Obama administration setting its eyes on controlling the single most important economic, social and political tool since the Guttenberg Press – the Internet. What could go wrong? Last week FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski and his fellow | Read More »
In 2008 many people asked whether or not Barack Obama was qualified to be president. Not in reference to his birth certificate, but rather to his lack of executive experience. The President of the United States after all, is the CEO of a rather large and powerful organization and it might not be the best place in the world to get on the job training. | Read More »
There are some things that are true regardless of what anyone tells us. OJ Simpson’s actual guilt at killing two people in a Brentwood doorway was not impacted by whatever verdict the jury might have returned. Armando Galarraga pitched a perfect game regardless of the call Jim Joyce made. Socialism and statism are destroying the United States, regardless of what Democrats, progressives or anyone else | Read More »
For anyone who still had questions about Barack Obama’s character and what he thinks of the American people, last week’s press conference should have given them everything they needed to know about both. During the question and answer period he gave us the most common of the Democratic platitudes about energy: “We can’t drill our way out of this,” and “the easily accessible oil has | Read More »
Sixteen months into the Obama administration and we have a great picture of how they operate. The words that come to mind are Devious (Not straightforward; shifty or crooked: a devious scheme to acquire wealth or power.) and Unctuous: (Characterized by excessive piousness or moralistic fervor, esp. in an affected manner; excessively smooth, suave, or smug.) They make perfect bookends for the Obama playbook. Every | Read More »
Speaking of fantasies… I’d like to share some of mine. Now that we are in the midst of primary season I thought it would be fun to talk about what I would do if I accidentally tripped onto a ballot and somehow ended up running things… of course by laying out the actual elements of my platform I’m essentially eliminating any chance of actually ever | Read More »
The Drudge Report ran a headline on Saturday of a Seattle police officer kicking and cussing at a prone Hispanic man who had been stopped as a potential suspect in a crime. Moments later the officer apparently realized that he had the wrong person and let the young man up. Later the cop tearfully apologized. Stories like this one demonstrate clearly what everyone in the | Read More »
With all of the rancor in the media, online and on main street, it might be easy to forget why we are talking in the first place. The fundamental reason the level of discord has risen to where it is is because the number of people who are recognizing the threats to their liberties from the progressive agenda are growing every day, and they are | Read More »
