According to the Congressional Budget Office’s figures, extending the Bush tax rates will only increase the deficit by 4 percent. Actually, critics of the way the CBO figures this out are saying the 4 percent number is too high. They charge that the CBO does not take...
It has happened before. The Supreme Court, back in 1857, issued a ruling so controversial, and so divisive, that four years later it led to Civil War. The decision involved slavery. It ruled that black individuals (even freed slaves) were not legal individuals under...
Now, thanks to our President, Congress and even Supreme Court—who was supposed to protect us—we’re about to turn over the practice of medical care to the least capable, and least morally qualified, to handle anything.
“It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” -- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts. WRONG. This is precisely what the Supreme Court's job is. The founders of the American republic created three branches of...
Obama and advocates of socialized medicine have won. But have they, really? I was talking with a waitress I know just today. She asked me, "Can you explain, in terms that I'll understand, what Obamacare actually means -- to me?" I told her: "Imagine if you went to...
Roger Hedgecock, former Mayor of San Diego, writes the following: I live in California. If you were wondering what living in Obama's second term would be like, wonder no longer. We in California are living there now. California is a one-party state dominated by a...
Even in today's crazy world, there's still some justice to be found in the United States. A convert to Islam who helped promote death threats against the producers of the animated television show "South Park" after it featured a character representing the prophet...
The “fast and furious” scandal involving Obama and his attorney general is an example of Big Government gone bad. The scandal centers on a federal policy of “gunwalking” that began in 2006, first during the George W. Bush administration and later dramatically...
I ran across a t-shirt that says everything about the state of our country today: Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or...

Many are saying that the United States should bail out European economies. The rationale is self-interest. “If European economies go under, then the U.S. will go with them.” If the U.S. was not making the same kind of mistakes that European economies have been making,...
To his supporters and apologists, Barack Obama is a leader of unprecedented vision. This may be true when it comes to visions of spending other people's money and expanding the federal government way beyond its already bloated, dysfunctional state. But it certainly...

The latest economic numbers are not looking good. It's becoming harder for Obama to fudge them. Obama's response? He says "we've still got a lot of work to do." More work to do? What exactly does Obama plan to DO that he hasn't already done? We are more than $15...
More from the articulate Florida Rep. Allen West: "What have we seen happen recently, in the last 10 years? A food stamp program that has gone from about $20.6 billion to over $75 billion in allocation of funds. A 267 percent increase. That’s not how you empower the...
The New York Times reports that a new trove of emails shows President Barack Obama’s White House agreed to help drug companies block a proposal to bring down medicine prices so they would back Obama’s healthcare plan. House Republicans obtained the three-year-old...
