Politicians: Let's have health care for all. Voters: Yes. But not ObamaCare. We don't want government care. We want guaranteed health care. Medical care like we have now, only free. And more competent, more compassionate, less bureaucratic than now. Will you get that...

By now it's plain to nearly everyone that Republicans are getting nowhere in massively cutting the budget and limiting the scope of the federal government. It's tempting to blame the politicians themselves. "Those politicians!" it could be said. "They won't honor the...

You think I'm overstating it when I say the world has gone mad? Then listen to our leaders -- most of them Republicans, the very ones who claim they want to change the status quo within our government. Appearing on CBS' “Face the Nation,” Republican (and...

I'm sick to death of all this talk about "both sides" in the federal budget debate needing to "come together." We should get something straight. In every issue, there is a right side and a wrong side. (That is, assuming there's any real difference between the two...

?Telling others what to do is an insult. It implies that the person you’re ordering to do something has no rational faculty of his or her own. If you went up to somebody and said, “You’re mindless. You can’t do anything,” this would be...

Districting is a Constitutional requirement that must be done every ten years following the census. The requirement has become a political tool. It is believed that If one can corral many of one's own party into one district, reaching them will be easier. This...

  Barack Obama, like all liberals, does not like to be questioned. But he's so profoundly wrong about so many things that our very survival depends on questioning him. In his latest speech bashing both Republicans and capitalism, Barack Obama said: "The way this...

In a recent article, I wrote that Donald Trump would not be a President who restored capitalism and individual rights, but would be a President who would initiate fascism. If his attitudes and beliefs about the cult of personality applied to government don’t...

A is A. Islam is Islam. There is no such thing as 'Good' Islam vs 'Bad' Islam. Islam is a totalitarian religion, but Muslims are individual human beings who may or may not practice their religion. One way I’ve been putting it recently is that your average Muslim...

The recent government shutdown "compromise" is what happens when you play principle-by-numbers. The Republican House leadership originally promised to cut no less than $100 billion from the multi-trillion dollar budget. Eventually they caved and settled for $60...

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) speaks for all liberals and socialists when he says that budget "cuts do not necessarily mean savings." Only in the world of Washington D.C. do the laws of logic, economics, physics and even simple sensory evidence not apply. This isn't...

Of all the stupid things said in political Washington D.C., few are as ridiculous as the claim that a government shutdown, or government spending cuts, will "harm" the American economy. Such a statement relies on the most false premise imaginable: That government...

In the current budget battles, former and (she hopes) future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spoke of going for a "higher ground, not a middle ground." She's referring to calls by the Republican leaders and others for an elusive middle ground. You know you're in...

The emergence of Donald Trump as a serious candidate for President shows just how far off track conservatives -- and Americans more generally -- have become. Trump represents the development of an attitude, an attitude that all that matters is "getting something...
