It may induce heartburn for political junkies to admit it, but elections are not decided by the hardcore, politically-minded, engaged partisans or ideologues on the Right or the Left. Sure, a motivated base is very important, but elections in our divided country are decided in the middle, by the moderates, independents, and undecideds. So why do we tell these election-deciders, every single day, that the | Read More »
I am undecided so far this presidential cycle (other than pledging to work hard and vote for the GOP nominee against Barack Obama). Ronald Reagan is not running, and I am to the Right of all the major candidates. So I have left the primary battle to others and will decide for myself by April 3, the date of the Maryland primary. But as I | Read More »
Something didn’t smell right. A woman with impeccable liberal credentials – Ivy League-educated, a former Slate staffer now writing for the New York Times, who lives in Brooklyn with her journalist hubby – pens a book about the Obamas’ marriage (The Obamas by Jodi Kantor). Sounds like an election year ad for The One’s re-election, right? But then suddenly, the Democratic Media (what many folks | Read More »
As most of us were doing last minute Christmas and Hanukkah shopping last week, word spread that Daily Caller editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson had “won” in a charity auction dinner for six with Obama pals and unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, at their home. The meal is to occur by October 2012 and the proceeds of Carlson’s $2,500 bid will benefit the Illinois Humanities | Read More »
Remember that infamous 2008 New Jersey case against dating site eHarmony for not helping gays find dates? eHarmony folded in that battle faster than a lawn chair when the potato salad is all gone. Given that the dating site had long been associated with Christian conservatives, its decision has always puzzled me. I recalled that capitulation today when I saw an article about settlement of | Read More »
“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation. Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’ The answer is yes, that’s what I’m telling you.” –Vice President Joe Biden at an Alexandria, Virginia event to promote more government deficit spending, July 16, | Read More »
“After several meetings and phone calls, the rival legal analyses were submitted to Mr. Obama, who is a constitutional lawyer, and he made the decision.” –The New York Times, June 17, 2011. One of the more hilarious fictions in President Barack Obama’s biography is that of him as a constitutional lawyer, scholar, professor and expert. It was used during his first presidential campaign to give | Read More »
By Steve Voeller and Michael Paranzino The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, March 28, 2011 will hold oral arguments in an important first amendment case that implicates public campaign financing schemes in jurisdictions across the country. So it should come as no surprise that outside groups asking the Court to rule against the first amendment interests in the case comprise a virtual Who’s Who of | Read More »
Fourteen of 15 killers who had their jury-imposed death sentences reversed on March 9th by Illinois Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn had murdered women and girls during their killing sprees. Don’t expect to read that in the Democratic Media (sometimes mistakenly referred to as the “MSM”). Other facts about the Illinois Democrat hug-a-killer program you won’t learn from the media: * The 15 convicted killers given | Read More »
Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE, was responsible a number of years ago for one of the great quotations of recent decades, so I do not criticize him or GE lightly. He said: “More people will graduate in the United States in 2006 with sports-exercise degrees than electrical-engineering degrees. So, if we want to be the massage capital of the world, we’re well on our way.” | Read More »
