The recent presidential election in Honduras affirmed that even people in less-developed nations in Central America are well aware of the tactics of communist agitators. The newly-elected president Porfirio Lobo, a conservative rancher and member of the National Party, won by a large margin with 56% of the votes, while Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party was second with 38%. Santos comes from the | Read More »
Tiger Woods and Barack Obama have several things in common. They are each half-black. They are phenomena in their own fields. They appeal to millions with their skills. And they both will go down in history with reputations that once seemed assured, but now are in question. Obama’s polls are falling faster than one of Tiger’s shank shots into the pond. This should concern | Read More »
President Obama’s job approval numbers have fallen to a new low at 47%, according to the Gallup Poll Daily tracking update for December 4-6 issued on December 7, 2009. Obama’s polls have been steadily slipping since his inauguration with slight upticks here and there including a small rise after he announced his troop ‘surge’ for Afghanistan and another after he was announced as the | Read More »
Now that the eco-fearmongers are meeting in Copenhagen, we should think about their tactics like manipulated data and manufactured ‘facts’. We all have seen those alarmist images that show big chunks of glaciers breaking off and falling into the sea. And we are supposed to be shocked and horrified, as we are always supposed to be distraught about every apocalypse that the Climate Whores | Read More »
The official unemployment rate dropped to 10% in November from 10.2% in October. And if anyone had said just a few years ago that this would be good news, they would have been asked to have their heads examined. But indeed it is being trumpeted as improvement in the dire straits of the current economic slump. It is interesting to remember that under Bush, | Read More »
Over Thanksgiving, Sarah Palin participated in a mini-marathon in the eastern part of Washington state. That is conservative country out there, with ranchers and farmers and small towns and rugged individualists. Little did she know that just 300 miles west, in the liberal part of the state near Seattle, that an event soon would occur that could profoundly affect a possible Palin White House bid | Read More »
Christmas is blowing apart into two sections this year in an ongoing action being orchestrated by the political left. These are trends that have been brewing for years, but will be intensified in 2009. First, with a pseudo-Christian president in the White House (we Americans “do not consider ourselves a Christian nation” he said in a speech in Cairo) the word “Christmas” is continuing | Read More »
Imagine a town that has been starving. And then one day a family arrives, starts up a farm and, slowly but surely, they start to produce food to feed the people. But then imagine that certain people in the town contend that the farm is not producing enough food fast enough, and so they kill the farmers. This sounds preposterous but this is | Read More »
Is president Obama headed for a one-term presidency, a Jimmy Carter-like fate? Is there nothing he can do about it? Is it becoming inevitable? And will it simply become intentional? The answer to all of these questions is potentially one big Yes. And indeed he may be boxed in now that he is caught up in an economic tidal wave that is crashing on | Read More »
“Take your time,” former secretary of state Colin Powell advised president Obama on making a decision about what to do in Afghanistan. This came on the heels of news that Obama was reconsidering all previous ideas on that war and starting over. The president is expected to announce a troop increase of 30,000 in his speech Tuesday night. But we need to hear it | Read More »
2009 certainly has been a tough year, and many might think that we have less to be thankful about this Thanksgiving than most. This is untrue. Every day we should be thankful that we live in the United States of America. Because a bad day in America is better than a good day anywhere else on earth. Let us consider the condition of men, | Read More »
The ruthless media attacks on Sarah Palin may be seen as just more assaults on a conservative. But in fact they demonstrate a rabid bias against “women” from one faction in America – male media liberals – that always has claimed that it stands for “women’s rights”. But in truth male liberals are not at all in favor of rights for all “women”. They | Read More »
“I can see his suntan all the way from here,” a TV news reporter said jubilantly as president John F. Kennedy descended the stairs from Air Force One in Texas shortly before being assassinated on November 22, 1963. This Sunday marks the 46th anniversary of that day. Just after the killing another reporter wondered about the as-yet-unidentified assassin – “Is he connected to | Read More »
On November 15, NBC’s Meet the Press offered a segment on education featuring former GOP House speaker Newt Gingrich, Obama education secretary Arne Duncan and black activist Al Sharpton. The debate showed how much lip service to real reform is being paid by the Democrats who control our failing public education system. Because the only way to truly improve education is for the Democrat-allied | Read More »
The environmental movement started out in the 1970s as a positive factor in American life. It advocated and then coerced the cleanup of the air, land and water; set standards for pollution and energy efficiency; and encouraged land preservation in wilderness areas. Today, however, the modern enviro movement is causing pollution and promoting energy inefficiency and destroying wilderness. Here is how: Most of | Read More »
(This is the second in a series of columns on potential GOP presidential contenders for 2012.) Some Republicans and conservatives may have previously shied away from Minnesota’s Republican governor Tim Pawlenty as a potential presidential contender in 2012 because he seemed dull. But he recently has been speaking forcefully and thus he deserves a good look. Because he is not only willing to take | Read More »
“We tortured somebody!” Democrat Pennsylvania US congressman Joe Sestak said shortly after it was announced by attorney general Eric Holder that five major terror suspects now are going to be tried in New York City, including accused 9/11 ‘mastermind’ Khalid Sheikh Mohammed along with Ramsi Binalshibh, Walid Muhammed bin Attash, Ali Aziz Abdul Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi. Sestak’s statement is a reference to | Read More »
Summit meetings “are for when nobody knows what to do,” wryly observed Stephen Moore of The Wall Street Journal commenting on president Obama’s call for an economic summit conference in December to discuss the nation’s fiscal woes. And Moore is right. Because Moore is a realist who understands actual economics… you know, supply and demand, taxes, economies of scale and the rest. Obama, on | Read More »
The Democrat response to their recent election-day thumping is rather incredulous. For instance, while Sarah Palin phoned in her support for conservative US Congress candidate Douglas Hoffman in upstate New York, Obama made five personal appearances on behalf of Democrat incumbent governor Jon Corzine in New Jersey. Yet when Hoffman lost, the media said it was a big defeat for Palin. But when Corzine lost | Read More »
Today, November 11, is Veterans Day, a time to honor those who have served our nation in a way that many of us never have and never would. May God bless those who serve in place of – and on behalf of – those of us who do not. Those millions who have risked their lives throughout the birth of and existence of the | Read More »
