When the Democrat Party Left You Behind
By Selwyn Duke Many years ago, a very nice lady with whom I was having a political discussion announced to me, “I’m a Democrat.” My immediate response was, “By birth or by choice?” It’s a relevant question for many Americans, as some treat party affiliation as if it’s akin to ethnicity. It can work like this: Their pappy was a [...]

Perspectives with Phil Brennan It is being called one of the most crucial Congressional elections in our nation’s history, and given the excesses of the Obama administration and its henchmen in Congress and it probably is.

Defense of Everything Bill Stopped — T.F. Stern

Selective Enforcement — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb Federal law currently prohibits the use of marijuana. California spit in the face of the feds and enacted a law that makes “medical” marijuana available to anyone who wants it.

Democrats Attack the First Amendment With Disclose Act — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has lately taken to saying that the failure to pass the Cap-and-Trade Act would be “immoral.” I suggest that the White House and the Democrat congressional leadership and members haven’t a clue when it comes to determining the morality of anything. They are so politically corrupt that they are [...]

Bobby Jindal Versus Barack Obama: The Rematch — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo On February 24, 2009 Barack Obama delivered his first State of the Union speech to the resounding accolades of the liberal press.

Seen as a harbinger of things to come, Dr. Paul's crushing defeat of a more [...]
The Jews of Venezuela — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba A day ago a friend linked me to a video about the Jews of Venezuela which I posted on my blog because, as a student of history, I know that whatever first happens to Jews anywhere eventually happens in a similar fashion to people everywhere.

Term Limits and the Citizen Legislature Scam
by Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 8 In April of 1996, the traditionally liberal Democratic Party did something it is, in theory, never supposed to do. It out-conservatived the Republican Party, stood up for the U.S. Constitution, and threw out a radical proposal designed to transform the United States from a republic to a democracy. This [...]
Thank You Congressman McClintock — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, Having observed Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s tongue lashing of America while addressing Congress as an invited guest, I found it hard to put my disgust into words.

Marxist Is As Marxist Does — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb People who believe that health care is a right instead of a privilege embrace a fundamental principle of Marxism. This philosophy is built on the idea that workers are the source of productivity and must not be exploited by kings or capitalists; that workers must control their own destiny. This is the foundation of socialism. The [...]
2nd Amendment Coin Flipping Contest — T.F. Stern
By T. F. Stern, Anyone who thinks the Heller decision in which SCOTUS ruled against the District of Columbia and in favor of an individual’s right to bear arms, unconnected with association to militias, was in anyway finalized, is living in fantasy land; not the United States of America. The right to bear arms keeps on going and going in the [...]

The Shame of America or is that Sham? — T.F. Stern

Pelosi Backwards On Tea Parties and G.O.P. — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Democrats continue to bounce between occasional brief attempts at pandering to grassroots America, and their more innate reversion to unrestrained contempt for the beliefs and sentiments of the heartland.

Why is Congress So Lame? — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba I have been wondering of late why the Democrats in Congress are so lame. It is astonishing because, having taken back control of Congress in 2006 and increased it in 2008, you would think they would have been passing laws like crazy, but all they have managed to do is borrow and spend money in a fashion that makes the Republicans [...]

Constitutional Consistency — Is It Asking Too Much
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Steven Horwitz No one ever accused progressives and conservatives of being overly consistent about freedom.

Purveyors of Hate — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb What is the correct word to describe people who deliberately, publicly, and repeatedly use the “N” word when they refer to black people? There are such people. Are they sick?

Exploiting Lincoln — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba As we close in on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, it is safe to say that there will be no Obama memorials in Washington, D.C. for the same reason there are no statues of Jimmy Carter except in the Capitol building where statues of former presidents are a tradition.

How to Watch the State of the Union Address — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Here are some suggestions on how to watch the State of the Union speech.
