I Don’t Look Like George Washington Either

     OK, I admit it. I’m a white male. In today’s America, some would argue that I should be excluded from any meaningful discussion of race relations for that reason alone. James H. Cone, author of Black Theology & Black Power, wrote that “Black Power believes that blacks are not really human beings in white eyes.” I have [...]

Huge Debt, Who Cares?

(Mike Tanner discusses his new book: Leviathan on the Right: How Big-Government Conservatism Brought Down the Republican Revolution, very worthwhile listening.)
     “Bush projects record federal deficit,” declared my local paper’s headline. The $482 billion shortfall breaks the old record for borrowed expenditures, set in 2004, by some $69 billion. Of course, if the economy doesn’t perform as [...]

Wrong Where It Matters Most

     “They were against it before it succeeded,” says the subhead in the Weekly Standard. The Topic? “Obama, Democrats, and the Surge.” Peter Wehner exposes the myriad attempts by Democrats, Obama first and foremost, to deny that the surge would work, and then did work. It’s a shameful compilation, one that should be considered by [...]

Change We Dare Not Believe In

     Those of you who managed to stay awake during Barack Obama’s “A World that Stands as One” speech know how utterly stuporous liberal platitudes are. Germans unenthusiastically applauded prattle such as “there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one,” or “these now are the walls we must tear down.” Barack’s speechwriters dredged [...]

The Horse Has Left the Barn

     “San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday [July 2nd] that the city would begin handing over for deportation juvenile illegal immigrants with drug convictions…,” reported the Washington Post. The action marks a stark turnabout for the liberal Newsom, champion of gay marriages, universal health care, and extra-marital affairs. In April of 2007, according to [...]

He Says He Can Do It All

     Great ballplayers aspire to excel in five categories: hit for average, hit with power, run, catch, and throw. Some of baseball’s biggest names failed at one or more of these baseball basics. Ted Williams’ uneasy relationship with all things defensive is legendary. Rod Carew flirted with .400 more than once, but his power numbers [...]

Nine Flip-Flops and Counting

     We are beginning to understand why Hillary Clinton “suspended” but did not close her campaign. Barack Obama’s lack of core values is already leading him into a series of embarrassing flip-flops, infuriating his base and encouraging John McCain supporters. Erstwhile Clinton advisor Dick Morris documents 9 such permutations. As average Americans become aware of Obama’s blatant pandering [...]

Ted Kennedy Was Right

     Back in the good old days of 1995, when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress for the first time in anyone’s memory, conservatives began clamoring in earnest for a balanced federal budget. President Nixon submitted the last black-ink account in 1974, and trillions of debt had accumulated since that memorable year. Now was the time, said the newly installed [...]

Freedom Marches On

     Liberty. Freedom. Self-determination. Justice for all. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. These and other political innovations were born as America became a nation. Never before in mankind’s long and terrible history was every citizen ascribed inalienable rights. Never had citizens of any country been protected by a Bill of Rights, guarantees secured by blood [...]

One Too Many

     Building on three wildly successful Indiana Jones adventures, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was billed as a surefire winner. Yes, it’s been decades since a much younger Harrison Ford did battle with Nazis and other assorted villains, but the latest incarnation of Indiana used Jones’ advancing age to advantage. Indy was again paired with the [...]
