What Mr. Obama has chosen to do takes the worst elements of both of his options and combines them in a way that will cause the maximum expense of life and treasure while providing minimum benefit.
Read More »Via a sympathetic Reuters reporter, President Barack Obama wants us to believe he is worried about the budget deficit: “It is important though to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession,” he said. | Read More »
Republicans in Illinois have had a large field to study in the primary campaign for United States Senator. With the departure of Dr. Eric Wallace, it appears that for conservatives one candidate is standing out above the others, Hinsdale businessman Patrick Hughes.
Major Nidal Hasan, if he did what he is accused of doing, is a traitor and a war criminal, not a terrorist.
It has been widely reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) gave Deirdre (“Dede”) Scozzafava (R-WFP) $900,000 for her abortive campaign in NY-23. It’s also worth noting that the Republican National Committee gave her at least $5000 as late as October 19. But considering the way that money was used, coming at the expense of Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, the true cost of those | Read More »
Sometimes you only know you’re on the wrong road when it leads someplace the right one wouldn’t go. Logicians call that process reductio ad absurdum — the reduction to absurdity. For instance, this thing with eating your dog. In the Marines I was stationed for a time in Korea. On liberty some buddies and I went to a restaurant and ordered the chicken … I | Read More »
Above all: we must attack directly, forcefully, and without hesitation the notion that the government should give things to people, and must never propose that it do so ever again.
Read More »I was nervous about the towering height to which Barack Obama has been raised by his followers. I had this awful feeling that Something Bad was going to happen. It’s the way myths go. I thought Mr. Obama’s followers were going to crash from their messianic high, and when they did, they would crash hard. I still think that. But I don’t care. What I | Read More »
Americans are in pain. We are in pain because we are being told by the government, the media, and the whiners of society, that the government must rescue us from every calamity, every uncertainty, and keep the pain away. Yet we know, deep in our hearts, what seems to be a law of nature. Pain, for the lack of a better word, is good. It | Read More »
On the Wednesday edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show, a mom named Susan from Glendale, California called with the most awesome rant I have heard in quite a while. You can read the transcript, but you really have to hear the audio to appreciate her level of frustration with the direction of the country. Susan wanted to know what she could do, before the 2010 | Read More »
The beauty of the thing is that you don’t get it by taking it from someone else, but by laboring for that of others as if for yourself.

Read More »In President Barack Obama’s remarks before the assembled nations of the world (except for Honduras), we are apt to focus on the beauty of his apologies for American power, the greatness of his self-aggrandizing manner, and the courage of his insistence that Israel has at best equal status in our eyes with the Palestinian terrorist regime. But we neglect, at a loss of great entertainment, | Read More »
This story looks like a local one on the surface, but has implications for Senate seats across the country. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is manipulating the Senatorial primary process, and maneuvering to retain his own power in a minority party rather than trying to win a majority. Rep. Mark Shimkus (R-IL) endorsed Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) in Kirk’s candidacy for U.S. Senate. Ordinarily, an endorsement | Read More »
The true beauty of the race card is not merely its universality of application, but its flexibility. It is available as a standing argument on any issue, readily committed to memory.

OK, so nobody knew who I was but the organizers, who graciously allowed me to speak as long as I handed out fliers for the event. There were several hundred people gathered at the courthouse in this town of about 15,000 in Central Illinois. Click for | Read More »
As a result of his misuse of the processes and institutions of government, Mr. Obama cheapened his office and opened himself up not just to the standing ovations of his allies, but to the pitchforks as well.
Read More »From the diaries… With no great pleasure, I must lay out the case against Barack Obama, Demagogue in Chief. Barack Obama, as most politicians, loves the argument by anecdote. In his health care speech on September 9 in support of government health care, he brought up several cases of people who had lost their insurance because their insurance company had discovered they’d made false statements | Read More »
Q: To Democrats, what’s the difference between health insurance and being alive? A: The Democrats will let you opt out of being alive. Senator Max Baucus has a new health insurance “compromise” (pdf): The plan from Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana would make health insurance mandatory, just like auto coverage.
