Left With Little Hope

A newly published Rasmussen Poll indicates that just 51% of American voters believe that the United States is the world’s last best hope for mankind.  I find this to be extraordinary for many reasons, but I am especially disturbed by the self loathing exhibited by those on the left end of the political spectrum.  The [...]

Eric Holder and the Psychic Left

  United States Attorney General Eric Holder has been one of the vocal critics of Arizona’s immigration law (SB 1070) since it was signed by Governor Jan Brewer on April 23.  Mr. Holder has repeatedly expressed his concerns regarding the law including its possible encroachment on federal statutes and the likeliness that it will result in [...]

Full Court Press

Justice John Stevens announced his intention to retire this summer, from his post as Associate Justice of the United State Supreme Court.  Eighty-nine year-old Justice Stevens is considered a liberal member of the court although he was originally appointed by the Ford (Republican) administration in 1975.  The retirement of Justice Stevens will provide President Obama [...]

Krugman: More deficits, please!

Winning that Nobel Prize must’ve gotten to Paul Krugman’s head… Either that or he is interested in a job with the Obama administration. He thinks the $9 trillion deficit over the next decade is quite all right. In fact, he thinks we need more! In fact, we would be better off if governments were willing [...]

The constitutionality of ObamaCare

The legality of a sweeping health care bill which mandates every citizen to have coverage is worthy of an analysis. David Rivkin Jr. and Lee Casey, both served under President Bush’s Justice Department, have written an op-ed in The Washington Times: The otherwise uninsured would be required to buy coverage, not because they were even [...]

The real un-Americans are the majority in Congress

How dare a couple of elitist, left-wing, liberal Democrat leaders in Congress write an op-ed in USA Today labeling those who oppose ObamaCare as “un-American”?! House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) writes: These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts [...]

The audacity of health care details

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius insults voters’ intelligence with her op-ed in the Washington Post where she essentially tells readers not to sweat the details of the health care bill. Just pass it and the rest will work itself out. Trust me. Health insurance is fundamentally about peace of mind. If you have [...]

More about the unconstitutional bailout legislation

There has been a lot of interest in the constitutionality of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and the TARP funds. I see a lot of Internet searches about this. George Will has a very good piece in the Washington Post about this topic: By enacting it, Congress did not in any meaningful [...]

Not good for Obama: Even the NYT mentions ‘Katrina’ and ‘Obama’ in the same sentence

An NYT op-ed calls it Obama’s “Katrina moment.” Not a good sign at all. As much as author Frank Rich gives readers a good run-down of the events leading to the current circus (with clowns Tim Geithner, Jay Leno, Edward Liddy, Chris Dodd, and President Obama himself), he ultimately shows his liberal side: As the [...]

Confused moderate-conservatives

Voter’s remorse. Is that what David Brooks of the NYT is really saying? Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — are forced to confront the reality that Barack Obama is not who we thought he was. His words are responsible; his character is inspiring. But his actions betray a [...]

Economy, preprare to be stimulated… or not

The bad news? The House passed the nearly $900 billion stimulus package. The good news? Not one Republican voted for it. That ought to send a clear message. Conservative talk show master Rush Limbaugh offers his version in the WSJ: Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and [...]

Stimulus package not large enough?!

Maybe columnist Bob Herbert is trying to leave NYT and get a job at the administration: If anything, the stimulus package is not large enough. Less than 24 hours after Mr. Boehner’s televised exercise in obstructionism, the heavy-equipment company Caterpillar announced that it was cutting 20,000 jobs, Sprint Nextel said it was eliminating 8,000, and [...]

Bush was not wrong, writers are just not right

President Bush’s farewell address didn’t go well with many liberals. What else is new, eh? Arianna Huffington unloads: He was wrong about Iraq and Saddam and WMD. He was wrong to take his eye off the ball on Afghanistan. He was wrong about tax cuts being the answer to our economic woes. He was wrong [...]

Mideast peace process is elusive

All eyes are on Israel as its air force continues to selectively strike within Gaza to kill Hamas leaders. Yes, there are civilian casualties, but compared to how Hamas indiscriminately aims its missiles specifically at civilian targets, the IDF is doing its best in preventing collateral damage. Even more worrisome is the fact that Hamas’ [...]

The GOP big government (failed) experiment

Richard A. Viguerie writes a good piece in the L.A. Times about Republicans’ path and acceptance of Big Government: Over the last eight years, President Bush sought to tame Big Government and turn it to conservative ends. The administration experimented with the belief — as expressed by Huckabee, Gerson and Kristol — that Republicans and [...]
