I think I have it on pretty good authority that the comparisons between Sarah Palin and Ronald Reagan are legitimate.

Excerpts from her official announcement: Today it seems like some in Washington think that for every challenge we face, there is a big, new government solution. They don’t understand that the strength of America doesn’t come from our government. America’s greatness comes from our people, our families, our belief in personal responsibility, and it comes from our small businesses. Government doesn’t create jobs, small businesses | Read More »
I wouldn’t have posted this article except for the fact that it was run by ABC News and their sources were top Democratis operatives. No, nothing about the elections.

I’m leery of self-anointed, East Coast, Republican elites, but my distaste for Noonan reached new levels when she decided to act like a teenage girl in a Miley Cyrus movie and hurled such petty insults at Sarah Palin that her invective had to be personal. These | Read More »
I haven’t much to add to the Kevin Jennings story, but I’ve been thinking about another story that happened twelve years ago involving the rape and murder of an eight year old boy. It’s easy to tug at heartstrings and make sentimental appeals. This story was gut wrenching, but it also addressed important issues regarding NAMBLA. It was 1997 when I first realized that NAMBLA | Read More »

We now know the answer to that question is lightning fast. | Read More »
Many pundits have already ridiculed millionaire Michael Moore and his hypocritical attacks on capitalism. Now, ABC News provides even more damning evidence of Moore’s utter hypocrisy and possible dementia.
