It will come as news to no one that conservatism has long had a PR problem. The political question of 2010 is this: do America's voters finally "get" conservatism? […]

Let me introduce you to two narcissists I know and (don't) love. […]

Judged by all the billions of dollars now flowing into "education reform," it appears that Washington, and especially the Obama administration, is obsessed with improving academic achievement. That's a cruel joke. […]

Geert Wilders Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who is about to stand trial for “hate speech” against Muslims, has suggested a ten-point program to save the West from being jihadically overrun. The times are so surreal. Wilders, who is also due to speak on 9/11 in downtown Manhattan, near Ground Zero suggests that we must: […]

As you may know, GOProud is the only gay conservative organization out there and they’re doing a NYC fund raiser, featuring Ann Coulter, called Homocon. Right Wing News is sponsoring the event. Naturally, this has generated a lot of controversy, so I decided to interview Christopher Barron, the chairman of GOProud, talk about the whole […]

The naked lies were too numerous to count in President Obama’s speech in Ohio today. But let’s try and respond to a couple. 15. “We also hoped for a chance to get beyond some of the political divides between Democrats and Republicans…” One cannot “get beyond” the political divides of this country when the objective […]

Much has been said about Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” as it related to last week’s attempted terrorist attack by James J. Lee on the Discovery Channel headquarters. Much less has been said about the book he referred to by Daniel Quinn titled “Ishmael”. Get to know it and you will know much about a […]

Chris Korzen, Executive Director of the George Soros-connected fake Catholic organization Catholics United (CU) may have finally bitten off more than he can chew. On Friday, he announced that CU is going into the news business and will, among other things, be “reporting on the activities of Catholic News Agency (CNA) and EWTN.” Korzen vs. Mother […]

Big tent? […]

Misgivings. […]

Speech. […]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a major foreign policy speech at the Council on Foreign Relations earlier today touting the Obama Administration’s foreign policy. The speech was wide ranging. The bulk of the speech was populated by platitudes and generalities intended to emphasize the Administration’s dedication to maintaining America’s global leader […]

Health Insurers Plan Hikes. That’s the headline of today’s Wall Street Journal story which reports: “Health insurers say they plan to raise premiums for some Americans as a direct result of the health overhaul in coming weeks, complicating Democrats’ efforts to trumpet their signature achievement before the midterm elections. Aetna Inc., some BlueCross BlueS […]

The national convention of the American Legion joins a long list of Americans of all political views in condemning inclusion of a bust of the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Va. Some 3,000 delegates last week adopted a resolution saying the Stalin bust “flies in the face of history […]

His greatness transcends religion. Most Americans may not have noticed the ascent of John Henry Cardinal Newman up the exacting heights of the blessed and toward the officially saintly, a progress that will bring Pope Benedict XVI to England this month. There have been juvenile indiscretions by waggish factota in the Foreign Office, and an uproar from the ga […]

We must fight the tendencies that are pulling our country toward a debt crisis. Black holes destroy any objects that happen to fall victim to their gravitational pull. The edge of a black hole, the event horizon, is a boundary that marks the point of no return. Once an object crosses the event horizon, it cannot escape and will be ripped to pieces, atom by a […]

A new program requires lenders to guess the races of clients who refuse to classify themselves. Mortgage servicers are now expected to record the race of all their clients -- including those expressly unwilling to provide one. In order, naturally, to stop discriminatory lending. The Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) is a creature of the Obama admin […]

The New York Times reports that a federal appeals court has shot down a lawsuit against Jeppesen Dataplan Inc., a Boeing subsidiary that reportedly arranged flights for t […]

1. The limits of base politics. Yesterday, I noted the apparent decision of the Obama White House to focus aggressively on mobilizing its base in advance of the midterm.  I concluded that the pursuit of this strategy so late in the cycle suggests party leaders recognize that the House is slipping away. I want to expand on that here. […]

Earlier this week, President Obama proposed another round of stimulus spending, aiming to boost the sagging economy and—he vainly hopes—his party’s slumping political fortunes. […]

Consider these points: (1) Just a few short weeks ago, Democrats were complaining that Republicans would rather talk about the Ground Zero Mosque than jobs. It’s gotten so bad for Democrats, they’d now rather talk about John Boehner’s tan than jobs. (2) Speaking of John Boehner, make no mistake that George Stephanapoulous remains a partisan hack. We know fro […]

Yesterday at the Daily Caller we found out why John Kerry was such a flip-flopper during his Presidential run. The reason is that he just can’t help it. He even flips around when he’s not running for anything. In 1998 he wrote a letter to the FCC explaining that the Telecommunications Act 1996 forbids the FCC to do the very same deem and pass Title II Reclas […]
