Too bad there are so many intellectually lazy (or flat out stupid) Republicans. Here’s an except from one of Laurie Higgins’ latest articles where she takes the idiots to school: Liberals accuse the Republican Party of being “non-inclusive” because it seeks to preserve in law the recognition of marriage as an inherently sexually complementary institution. [...]
“What difference does it make?” Oh wait, that’s Benghazi. Then again, if liberals feel better about themselves then Obamacare will be a success. None of the other liberal policies have succeeded so why should we expect this one to? From Greg Scandlen: It is cruelly ironic, but the massive law that was enacted to solve [...]
I don’t agree with everything in the article but Ben Hart makes some good points over at Conservative HQ: I am a William F. Buckely, Jr. conservative. This means I believe in limited Constitutional government. WFB and Ronald ReaganI am not a libertarian. The Constitution is not a libertarian document. The Constitution has a presumption [...]
From ClashDaily.com: Well, well, well. The guardians of the Scout’s Honor have decided that the decision is “too complex” to decide now, so they’ve kicked the can down the road until May. Too complex? Man on man sex? Sodomy? Hunky Jesus, Gay Pride, Leather week, STD’s, substance abuse, shorter lifespans, physical abuse, emotional trauma and [...]
An extended excerpt from an excellent article by William J. Meisler at American Thinker: Aristotle taught that everything which occurs or is conceived according to natural law is for the best or will produce the best result, Therefore, whenever one is confronted with a choice, the choice that is most consistent with nature — the [...]
Author John Lott addresses “The Fear and the Reality” about guns: Should you ask your neighbors if they own a gun before your child plays at their house? And what do you do if they say yes? After the tragic accidental death this month of a two-year-old Kentucky girl who had been shot by her [...]
The above isn’t the headline of the article excerpted here from Chris Edwards, it’s a good (and not surprising) line from the Heritage Foundation study he addresses in the article: Conservative and libertarian scholars are clashing over the findings and political implications of the new Heritage Foundation immigration study. The study spans 92 pages and is jam-packed full of statistics and detailed calculations. [...]
It was a joke then…and guess what…it’s a joke now. Except back then almost everyone understood the joke. Today not so much. Here are a couple of recent headlines: State ordering girls’ locker rooms open to boys: Homosexual former teacher pushes bill through state assembly CA AB 1266 Passes In Public Schools, Gender no longer [...]
From Daniel Mitchel: Are there any fact checkers at the New York Times? Since they’ve allowed some glaring mistakes by Paul Krugman (see here and here), I guess the answer is no. But some mistakes are worse than others. Consider a recent column by David Stuckler of Oxford and Sanjay Basu of Stanford. Entitled “How [...]
American Thinker continues to post some of the best political commentary on the web. This is from its editor, Thomas Lifson: President Obama is shattering the illusions of his supporters, and eyes are opening, even among his former media allies. As if waking from a slumber, a newly aggressive White House press corps yesterday raked [...]
Good news like this says there’s still hope for our country — God hasn’t thrown in the towel yet. From the NCPA: Advances in oil and gas extraction technologies are now allowing oil and gas companies to extract oil reserves that could not have been mined in the past. Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, [...]
Two articles from National Review about the most recent IRS scandal: The IRS and Big Government Obamanomics has spurred increasing distrust of government — and that was before the tax scandal. By James Pethokoukis The expanding Internal Revenue Service scandal could hardly be any more Drudgeriffic. Well, maybe if in addition to singling out groups [...]
From John Ransom: Being president was always easy for Barack Obama. That is, it was easy up until the time he actually was elected president. Then things got a little tougher. In part, Obama’s troubles stem from the rigidity of his broken ideas. They admit of no compromise. Consequently, he has subsumed his whole personality [...]
Relevant to yesterday’s tornadoes in Oklahoma…excerpts from a post today by Michael Brown: To be sure, our nation has been sowing to the flesh for decades. As a result, we are reaping destruction on many fronts (Gal. 6:7-8). And I don’t argue with those who believe that God’s hand of blessing has lifted off of [...]
And speaking of slow learners…conservative (in this case libertarian) money people should’ve started buying media operations in the 1980s. Why do you think we have a nation of low information voters? From the L.A. Times via GOPUSA: California legislative leaders and 10 public employee unions announced opposition Wednesday to any sale of the Los Angeles [...]
Talk about slow learners. Some of us have been calling for this since “Hillary Care” was pushed in the early 1990s. Better late than never — but earlier would’ve been better. From the NCPA: Republicans are building consensus around an alternative to ObamaCare that will hopefully lead to the bill’s revocation. Rising costs following the initial [...]
Of course Illinois is ranked near the bottom of this list. From ConservativeIntel: Chief Executive Magazine has put out its annual business ranking of the 50 states — a ranking based on a survey of 736 CEOs. At right, you can see the bottom ten states. You might notice that most of them have something [...]
From Heritage: Yes, it’s time to talk about the debt limit again. Every time the U.S. bumps up against its debt ceiling, we start the cycle all over again. President Obama insists he won’t negotiate over the debt ceiling, but of course he will. Members of Congress grandstand about changing this vicious cycle, and then [...]
From the NCPA: Younger people were hit harder by the recession than older people. What explains the disparity? One of the biggest factors, a new paper suggests, is the larger mortgage debt young households under age 45 had relative to their assets compared to older people in the run-up to the financial crisis — and [...]
From Chrytal Wright: What is happening to our country? Gays, who represent less than 3% of our population, are trying to dominate our culture and society. Love whom you want. Love the one you’re with. People don’t really care. This is the message most people want to say but are afraid to because the LBGT [...]
