Live Action has released its second video exposing infanticide in America.  This time we’re in the DC area.

Live Action: Gosnell Isn’t Alone

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 28th at 01:24 PM  | 

Gosnell is an outlier. Gosnell is the end result of anti-choice legislation.  More Gosnells will be created if abortions are outlawed, and pro-lifers hate women.  These were the many talking points pushed by the pro-abortion crowd when conservatives put Dr. Kermt Gosnell – and his Philadelphia abortion clinic – back into the limelight.  Now, Live Action has released a new video after a six-month investigation exposing how Gosnell isn’t alone when | Read More »

No Intelligence Briefing For Obama After Boston Terrorist Attack

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 16th at 11:21 PM  | 

Even with details slowly coming to light – although it seems that the trail has gone cold – you would think the president would have an intelligence briefing.  Nope. And most of the events today barred the press.  This isn’t the first time Obama has skipped on intel. briefings after terrorist attacks.

Do Democrats Think They’re Immune for Obamacare’s Fallout in 2014?

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 5th at 02:03 PM  | 

Matt Canter, the Deputy Executive Director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is fired up about Obamacare, and how it might be innocuous to Senate Democrats in 2014.  Yet, could this be a sign of the hubris that sunk Republicans in 2006, 2008, 2012? After all, prior to the 2006 slaughter, the GOP was ahead of Democrats concerning targeting voters and digital strategy.  Remember Voter | Read More »

Finally! Radical Caitlin Halligan Withdraws Nomination To D.C. Court Of Appeals

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 23rd at 01:17 PM  | 

Well, it took three years, but Caitlin Halligan will not be a sitting on the D.C. Court of Appeals.  She’s known for her progressive political views and judicial activism, which were so far outside the mainstream that other courts rejected her legal arguments.  Ed Whelan at the National Review has documented her radical judicial philosophy.

CPAC: Folks, Mitt Romney Lost

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 15th at 03:01 PM  | 

Mitt Romney addressed CPAC this afternoon, and I did support his candidacy.  After all, he was the only person in our miserable 2012 crop of candidates that had the best chance of winning.  However, his communications team was mostly on defense, his high-tech GOTV ORCA program crashed rendering 30,000 volunteers helpless on Election Day, and his candidacy prohibited conservatives from talking about health care.  As | Read More »

Sen. Graham Backs Radical Obama Judicial Appointment

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 4th at 06:14 PM  | 

Caitlin Halligan, general counsel for Manhattan’s district attorney’s office, was nominated in 2010 to fill a vacancy on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and has been re-nominated four times since then. A cloture vote to move forward with her nomination failed 54-45 in 2011. The presidential judicial appointments – by custom – should be taken under consideration by the Senate, but not this one.  For | Read More »

Obama: Yeah, I Go Shooting ‘All The Time’

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  January 28th at 10:47 AM  | 

According to Joel B. Pollak, the president goes shooting ‘all the time.’ In an interview with Franklin Foer and Chris Hughes for The New Republic, President Obama said it was a way to “bridge the gap” between the urban vs. rural dichotomy in the gun control debate, which has only been accentuated with NYC’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun push in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy. | Read More »

Roe at 40: A Discussion with Live Action’s Lila Rose

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  January 23rd at 05:06 PM  | 

On January 22, the United States celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case, which legalized abortion in all fifty states.  In doing so, the Court usurped a developing consensus amongst the state legislatures on the issue, and violated the principle of federalism that should guide how we enact policy in this country.  Nevertheless, Roe, in estimates from The National Right | Read More »
