The cost of oil closed Friday, January 30, 2009, at slightly over $41 per barrel, down over $100 from its high of just a few months ago. The unprecedented drop in price is a windfall for Americans and provides the only bright spot in an otherwise dreadful economic landscape. According to The New Republic, the collapse of gasoline prices will “put about $300 billion [...]

The handful of men who transformed America and the world during the nineteenth century are often vilified as Robber Barons. Commodore Vanderbilt, James J. Hill, steel and iron tycoons Charles Schwab and the Scranton family, all have endured mountains of criticism, reviled as ruthless, greedy, and oppressors of the worst sort. In fact, they ushered in [...]

Robert Reich boldly tells white males to get to the back of the bus:
When not in power, Democrats have become adept at masking their underlying premises and policy intentions. Knowing that fully revealing their socialist agenda would frighten the begebbers out of normal Americans, liberals seeking power pretend to be centrists, even eschewing the “liberal” moniker [...]

The news is out: our government has mis-managed $350,000,000,000, or half of the money appropriated by legislation known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program, aka TARP. After Congress spliced together 450+ pages of bad ideas over the span of a few days, the funds were hurriedly and recklessly [...]

After stumbling through his oath of office, sabotaged by Chief Justice Roberts’ incredible fumbling of the well-known words, newly installed President Obama proceeded to deliver a lackluster inaugural address. The Obama camp insists Barack penned the listless pablum. If true, speech writers across the fruited plain should send their resumes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Please hurry; Obama [...]

Rush Limbaugh answers “Do you want Obama to succeed?”
At a recent White House meeting, President Bush graciously told President-elect Obama he hoped Obama’s presidency would be successful. It’s a sentiment uttered almost universally. As Obama’s administration goes, so will go the country, and America cannot afford many more years like 2008. The near collapse of the nation’s financial system has pulled the [...]

Few are better at detecting bias in the liberal media than Ann Coulter. Her favorite target remains the New York Times, and Ann recently exposed additional deceit by the Times in a long-running effort to discredit the United States military. Those inclined to reject Coulter’s argument because, well, she’s Coulter, will do themselves a favor by facing the truth: major newspapers like [...]

Critics of President Clinton blame his administration for the devastating attacks of September 11, 2001. In the face of multiple terror strikes, Clinton steadfastly maintained that the problem of terrorism was best handled by law-enforcement agencies. Moreover, during Clinton’s tenure a firewall had been constructed between the CIA and FBI, restricting the flow of information between them [...]
