Just when you thought that the Democrats and their agenda have not been debunked enough, along come accusations that Al Gore sexually assaulted a masseuse in a Portland, Oregon hotel room in 2006. No, say the lefties, Al Gore would never assault the fairer sex. He’s a Women’s Lib Democrat right down the line. Just like his former boss Bill Clinton. The Oregonian newspaper | Read More »
Republican US senator John Kyl of Arizona recently had a meeting with president Obama about the US-Mexico border, particularly the federal government’s failure to secure the border. After the meeting, Kyl said that Obama had said that he, Obama, would use more federal force to secure the border once he got a promise from Republicans to support comprehensive immigration reform. Imagine that: The | Read More »
There was a quote on the web recently that was allegedly from Democrat US senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut. It said that Dodd had said that requirements that potential homeowners put 5% down on loans was wrong because it “would restrict home ownership only to those who can afford it.” This quote was a satire, but it sounds as if it could be true. | Read More »
Every once in a while the History Channel runs documentaries about the 1960s, about the Woodstock music concert of 1969, about the ‘hippies’, about drug use in the Age of Aquarius, about the so-called Summer of Love in the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco in 1967. These programs are fascinating because they explain why America has had an economic collapse and can no longer | Read More »
“Loose lips sink ships,” goes the old World War II warning about speaking in public in any way about defense-related matters, even about the most elementary levels of weapons production. And indeed that warning goes today as president Obama has relieved his top commander in Afghanistan four-star Army general Stanley McChrystal over unflattering comments McChrystal and his aides made about the administration in an | Read More »
Well, it sure didn’t take long. Less than three months after the inauguration of Barack Obama, a new movement burst onto America on April 15, 2009. Today that grass-roots Tea Party movement is growing and increasing in strength with every passing week, already impacting national elections in significant ways. The Democrats are deathly afraid of it, because they understand political power better than anything | Read More »
Note from Erick: Roland Martin noted this diary on twitter and takes exception to the characterization of him. In particular, both he and I would note that he is journalist. Like me, Roland is also a CNN commentator and expresses his opinions passionately. Beyond that, though, Roland has spent a lot of time addressing the concerns this post would have you believe he has not. | Read More »
Republican congressman Joe Barton of Texas has taken a huge amount of heat for apologizing to BP chief executive Tony Hayward over the government’s actions in extracting from BP a promise to set up a $20 billion fund to cover losses in the Gulf region over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Barton, an oil industry supporter, said in his opening statement at the House | Read More »
Did you know that Sunday, June 20, is International Refugee Day? Yes, indeed. In fact the aging, confused actor Sam Waterston appeared on TV recently detailing his work with refugees, including “climate refugees”. So now everything from energy to exiled populations to hamster races has to include a “climate” angle. Did you know that bingo now can no longer be played at night in | Read More »
The June 8 primary elections showed two important trends: Sarah Palin’s power and influence are rising, while the clout of labor unions is shrinking. And those are good outcomes. Palin endorsed three GOP candidates who went on to win – Nikki Haley, who will run as the Republican candidate for governor of South Carolina in November; Sharron Angle, a Nevada Tea Partier who came | Read More »
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has provided a dramatic new subject for political controversy. Of course the Ancient Media are slanting the story one way – evil oil companies. Nuts like Rosie O’Donnell even have called for the government to “seize the assets” of oil giant BP. “Call if socialism, call it communism. Call it what you want,” comrade Rosie added. This | Read More »
Recently a very sleazy guy named Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch national who was living in Aruba and who is suspected in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005, was arrested in Peru for the murder of a Peruvian college student named Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez. And how did that happen? Well, Flores apparently met van der Sloot in a hotel bar | Read More »
The June 8 primary elections have been deemed The Year of the Republican Woman. But don’t look for any media hype like the original 1992 Year of the Woman when it was Democrat ladies who surged to the forefront of the nation’s political consciousness. In the most watched races in California, Nevada and South Carolina, four GOP women made important gains, three of them | Read More »
For political analysts, cultural and economic trends are important too. And I believe that New England is going to become the next Florida. How? Well, here is a related fact to start with. Did you know that famed stock-car driver Richard Petty and his father Lee, who lived in the South, actually learned many of their racing skills up North? The reason | Read More »
Europe today is like a museum with all its precious paintings and artifacts. And its people are like listless, apathetic museum guards whose big accomplishment is to take coffee for hours at the corner bistro while droning on endlessly about every subject in the world like the phony left-wing intellectuals that so many of them are. America is like a factory that makes things. | Read More »
Here is a conundrum: How can a rich, conservative, capitalist billionaire suggest that a police officer or public school teacher does not deserve a $100,000 annual pension, as many wealthy people are demanding pension reform in states like California? The other side of the question, however, is: How can a rich, leftist billionaire like US senator John Kerry of Massachusetts be arrogant enough to suggest | Read More »
There is a commission in Texas that has been determining the content of school textbooks. The decisions of the commission will affect books all over the nation because Texas buys so many books, and so sets the standard. Naturally the conservatives – who have ten members on the Texas panel – have been seeking to portray American history in a positive light, while the | Read More »
The international uproar over Israel’s boarding of flotilla ships from Turkey bound for Gaza should give America pause. Because once again, our strongest ally in the world is under assault from the same forces that are attacking American values and power daily. Israel is a target today of everyone from the international left – including strongly anti-Semitic forces in American universities and even | Read More »
With the threat by liberals of a boycott of Arizona over a perfectly legitimate immigration law, it is time for us conservatives to use the boycott in return. First, the boycott of Arizona will never work, like the boycott of Dallas after Kennedy was killed did not, or the boycott of Mississippi during civil rights did not. But perhaps we conservatives should start | Read More »
The Senate Armed Services Committee has voted 16 to 12 in favor of repealing the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy covering homosexuals and lesbians in the military. Full House and Senate votes are expected to possibly change the laws on gays even before a military review has been completed. This is utter congressional arrogance and typical of the Democrat party. Under DADT, which | Read More »
