Today would have been Ronald Reagan’s 102nd birthday, and I felt it appropriate to share a few of my favorites. I’m of the opinion that Reagan was the best president since Calvin Coolidge, and amongst the top five presidents America has ever boasted. He was smart, empathetic, persuasive, firm, and made the case for American [...]
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” – Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago and President Obama’s former Chief of Staff In the wake of the murder of 26 innocent people at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, it is not surprising that the liberal-led gun control crowd leapt at the opportunity to [...]
First, a quote from Charles W. Cooke at National Review Online, who is fast becoming one of my most preferred political commentators: “Conservative Americans are not systematically being denied their liberties. They are not facing the might of a British empire determined to crush them. There is no Declaratory Act. There are no unwanted foreign [...]
I’m not yet angry, though I suspect that will come, perhaps even before I finish typing this piece. I’m dumbfounded, disappointed, and disgusted. And terrified for the future of the country I love, and which I believe God will only continue blessing for as long as we conduct ourselves and mold our society in a [...]
“The United Nations just elected Iran to the commission on the status of women. Do you know this was the first time in 28 years of broadcasting I could not think of an absurd analogy [to illustrate the story], because you can’t out-absurd what happened at the U.N.” – Dennis Prager Vice President Biden’s debate [...]
Dear Libertarian Friends, Oh, the shame and humiliation that should fill our hearts if Barack Obama were to win re-election because of the Right’s divided front. It’s wholly irrelevant how much you like Mitt Romney, or trust him to govern conservatively. The only pertinent factor remains the reality of his superiority over the incumbent. If [...]
I recently took in the sweeping new political documentary 2016: Obama’s America, written and produced by Dinesh D’Souza. It was interesting, entertaining, and produced in a way that was attractive to even those non-political wonks who are starting to pay attention for the first time or were dragged to the theatre by their online conservative-blogging [...]
What a week (and summer, and primary season) for conservatives, who are experiencing wins all across the country, each seeming to build on the momentum of the last. Both electorally and culturally, right-wing America has been flexing its muscles of late. Perhaps even more revealing than conservative primary election wins is the testament to [...]
“One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring.” –Thomas Sowell The compassion argument is used as a jumping-off point for nearly every single liberal economic policy. It’s their defense of amnesty for illegal immigrants, big government spending programs that “help” the [...]
A common theme in any election, whether local or national, is a candidate’s effort to create a perception of relationship with the electorate. Just as critical is creating a perception of the opponent’s lack of relationship. Every candidate wants the voters to see him as normal, that he understands the plight of the average folks, [...]
“Apathy is the glove in which evil slips its hand.” – Bodie Thoene If you have read many of my pieces or followed me on Twitter for even a short time, you’re well aware that I believe the vast majority of the problems America is experiencing are rooted firmly in the growth of liberalism and [...]
Aside from abortion, perhaps no issue draws the passion and ire of liberals today more than that of global warming and the environment. They are convinced the earth is heating up. They are convinced this is man’s doing. And, they are convinced the government must lead the charge and fight against this beast that they [...]
I fought the nomination of Mitt Romney through various outlets (mainly Twitter and yelling at my radio) for several months. I could not stand the thought of this Massachusetts moderate being the representative of the proudly enthusiastic and recently recharged conservative movement of the past four years. This primary season, in regards to the evolution [...]
Many conservatives, including me, have been none too kind and understanding this primary season of Mitt Romney’s many “policy changes” over the years. The former Governor of Massachusetts has, for all intents and purposes, taken both sides on nearly every major political issue in the past two decades. He has been staunchly pro-choice, now firmly [...]
