There is an interesting article today in the Wall Street Journal entitled “Henninger: America’s Two Economies”. In that article, the author, Daniel Henninger, expresses how the current choice Americans are facing in the election of 2012 relates to a choice between two economies, i.e. the private economy and the public economy. Here are few quotes from the article: For a long time, the United States | Read More »
If you’re having a “wait…what???” moment after reading the title, you read it correctly. A feminist who professes to be pro-choice is attempting to discredit a pro-choice organization named 1Flesh. From Salon: 1flesh is a new and strikingly effective attempt by anti-choice Christians to mimic the aesthetic of genuinely hip pro-sex education websites. The first reaction of most liberals would be, no doubt, a roll of the eyes and | Read More »
(Cue your favorite game show music….) (Cue audience applause….) Today, we have two new political ads that have been released by the Obama administration. The object of our game is to listen carefully to the information being provided in those ads, identify the talking points that may be somewhat misleading, and then to deconstruct those talking points. The first ad includes Stephanie Cutter, who is | Read More »

For years on end, Liberals (or Progressives, if you prefer to call them such) have controlled and dictated what has been taught within the American school system. The greater emphasis has been on supporting their own political philosophy than on ensuring that our young people learn the basics of math, English, and science that will allow them to succeed in the real world. But even | Read More »
As the old saying goes, “forewarned in forearmed”. From the RIO20+ ICLEI meeting in Brazil: To advance public action on global warming, participants attending the ICLEI World Congress admitted today that they are deliberately employing new terminology to misdirect opponents and gain acceptance of their efforts to reduce energy use and greenhouse gases.

A few comments from David Brooks most recent article entitled “The Follower Problem”. But the main problem is our inability to think properly about how power should be used to bind and build. Legitimate power is built on a series of paradoxes: that leaders have to wield power while knowing they are corrupted by it; that great leaders are superior to their followers while also | Read More »
I’m expecting that Michelle Obama will weigh in on this soon! After all, if Denmark, France and Hungary all agree… From the Daily Beast: Americans are fatter than ever—more than a third of adults are now clinically obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We’re now to the point where listening to the left even attempt to make a point about “fairness and equality” is like listening to a version of John Lennon’s* “Imagine” that goes something like this…. Imagine there’s no capitalism It’s easy if you try No economic goals to strive for It’s all pie in the sky Imagine all the people living in equality AHah, | Read More »

This particular hole has a great big neon sign that says “racism” pointing to it. It just gets deeper and deeper and deeper…. Article Title: White Resentment, Obama and Appalachia Author’s name: Ta-Nahesi Coates In this article, Mr. Coates attempts to address what he sees as being the fallacy of the arguments presented by other pundits of the left who try to portray any | Read More »
You know, I think Conservatives could make a weekly (if not daily) column providing example after example of how government fails to protect the taxpayers of this nation, and thereby contribute to our national debt, when they do NOT spend money wisely. What’s the point of the entire “pay your fair share” argument that the left continues to set forth IF government doesn’t act responsibly | Read More »
Interesting case. I wasn’t aware of it myself until this morning when I read George Will’s article “When the Looter is the Government”. To provide a few background details in the case: This town’s police department is conniving with the federal government to circumvent Massachusetts law — which is less permissive than federal law — to seize his livelihood and retirement asset. In the lawsuit titled United States | Read More »
Long and short of it…I’ve been advised to stay as far away from politics as I can get. I’m going to share the same story with you that someone else shared with me just a while ago. A farmer has a few acres of land. He wants to be an apple grower. A successful apple grower. And in the profession of farming, like in life, | Read More »
In 2008, we heard the slogan of “Hope and Change” and of “fundamental transformation” of America.

The challenges to Obama’s health care initiative didn’t begin in the conservative legal academy. They didn’t even really blossom in the conservative legal media or think tanks. The real energy of these challenges arose out of those Tea Party town halls throughout the summer of 2010, in response to a longing to return to constitutional values, states’ rights, and ideas of individual liberty that have | Read More »
The USA Today was the first to respond to the outcome of vote to repeal the IPAB this afternoon. In their article, the author describes the quandary currently being faced by lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

Well, after vomiting thoroughly and crying for a while, I’m ready to rant! Let’s begin with this article at the Weekly Standard, which discusses an article entitled “After-birth Abortion: Why Should The Baby Live?” that was written by medical ethicists and printed in the “esteemed” Journal of Medical Ethics last month.
