Let us examine the current Obama policies and legislation being challenged and debated in the Supreme Court: Healthcare Reform Individual Mandate (and at least 3 or 4 other healthcare reform laws) HHS' declaration that everyone must provide contraception (including the "morning after pill") in their insurance health benefit packages (even organizations who are morally opposed to such things

Two months from now, the Supreme Court will hear a case that will affect every citizen of this country for centuries to come. The ruling will either push the boundaries of government power even further in on us all, or they will re-assert the constitution’s specific and enumerated limitations on the federal government’s power. The biggest obstacle to the "Affordable Care Act" becoming permanent

I’ve decided to take a break from my blogging exile, mostly to point out a recent problem I’ve seen in the Republican primaries that is driving me crazy. I’m talking about the 15% tax meme. While I’m not the biggest Mitt Romney fan, attacking him over his 15% tax rate is just plain stupid and takes a page from the Democrats’ class warfare playbook.  The mainstream media and pundits get all they

A reminder: two years ago the CRU (Climate Research Unit) at East Anglea University had a few thousand emails and documents leaked to the public. I write “leaked” instead of “hacked” because almost everyone agrees that some of the documents that were released could not have been obtained by a simple hack. The source code for some of the modeling programs for instance. Indeed, the zip file

A full ten days before Rep Anthony Weiner (a married man) admitted to carrying on explicit relationships online with at least six different women, a story broke on Andrew Breitbart’s Biggovernment.com. A tweet had been sent from his twitter account to a woman in Seattle Washington. Weiner denied posting the tweet and claimed his account had been hacked. Andrew Breitbart did what journalists

I recently sent an email to a local Tea Party "leader" to question his opposition to the temporary five year Amazon sales tax exemption. I am posting his reply and my followup. I have not secured his permission to post his letter, so I believe it best to allow him to remain anonymous. Dear Mr. Martin, Thank you for writing and expressing your concerns over my position on the Amazon.com tax

To me, Conservatism is an attitude about learning the lessons of the past. A philosophical attitude of caution because the history of the world is one of tyranny, poverty and suffering. Conservatism wants to, literally “conserve” the freedom and liberty we enjoy as a result of the great experiment undertaken by our founding fathers. An experiment that has as its heart, the theory that

I love the fact that Juan Williams works for Fox News. His commentary and input gives Fox News programs a balance of viewpoints lacking on other news networks. Juan has always been one of the few liberals in the mainstream media that actually attempts to explain liberal ideology. One cannot fault Juan when his attempted explanations usually come across as rationally weak. Modern liberalism has

Lots of people are asking questions about why the story seems to change almost daily. At first, Osama used a woman as a human shield and shot at the Seals... and then he didn't. Then there was a furious shoot-out... now, only the courier even had a gun. At first, the famous pins-and-needles picture of the "situation room" depicted  administration officials witnessing the events unfold

My new weekly series of quick suggestions for followup questions for the journalists who seem to have forgotten how to ask them since Jan 2009. Today when asked about the release of the Osama bin Laden “death” photos, President Obama and White House officials finally (after a great deal of rather characteristic indecisiveness) shot those plans down citing a weariness in giving an additional

First up, I’ll say what I think of the Bin Laden “hit”. Thank God Mr. Obama had the courage to order the kill, regardless of what his motivation may have been. Bill Clinton did not have that courage and several years after such an order could have prevented it, Bin Laden ordered over 3,000 innocent American civilians killed simply because they were Americans. Mr. Obama rightfully fulfilled

Ayn Rand's 1957 opus, Atlas Shrugged, tells a tale of a dystopian world where the government and society slips deeper and deeper into the socialist delusion of a perfect “collectivist” world at the expense of the individual. The protagonist industrialists are subjected to heavy handed political tyrants who view the fruits of corporate labors and inventiveness as rightful property of the

An open letter to the Tea Party: How far we’ve come since Rick Santelli encouraged the creation of a new Tea Party to oppose “the government's support of fiscal irresponsibility”. Capped off with the historic beating the Democrats took in the House of Representatives, we’ve had success after success with our movement and put the fear of the people back into our politicians.

This is a lame argument that only liberal pundits (and lapdog media) wouldn't be too embarrassed to pose. Because some lawmakers believe (rightfully) that Obamacare is unconstitutional, they should drop their own insurance? How stupid is that? Federal workers insurance plans have NOTHING to do with or in common with Obamacare. They are totally and completely separate. Forcing people to sign a

The Ministry of Truth fires Juan Williams. Welcome to the ranks of the Thought Criminals, Juan. Your decade of civil rights journalism and attempts to rationally explain liberal policy makes no difference. They know what you are really thinking now and you must be silenced like the rest of the Thought Criminals. I love his thoughts on the matter. I further love the fact that Fox News just gave

Here's the situation we now find ourselves in. The mainstream media has decided to serve their political puppet masters and smear political dissent as "racism" or "bigotry" or any other thought crime they can think of. In their minds, if you do not support the liberal agenda, you must be deranged. Something must be wrong with you if you disagree. A dangerous road to go down for American

Sorry for the lack of posts for the past two days. I've been working on a new video. Funny how the upcoming video ties in nicely with the just-issued confession of David Brooks of the New York Times about how the president told him a year ago that were no shovel ready jobs. You didn't think such an alarming confession of dishonesty on the part of the president was news-worthy, Mr. Brooks? Of

A while back, I read this article which came as no surprise to me. Yet another industry being demonized by the president and liberals. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/08/AR2010030801703.html The president counted on the mainstream media not asking follow up questions or calling into question the truthfulness of his allegations, and they did not disappoint.

Watch this liberal politician show just how ignorant she is on constitutional law. Her answer: "where in the constitution does it say we can mandate social security and Medicare". Actually... the Supreme Court DID rule those unconstitutional. It wasn't until the FDR administration threatened the Supreme Court (funny how... liberal presidents seem to do that a lot) and changed the
