The Republican presidential nomination process is more than half complete, meaning Ron Paul’s supporters must face a hard fact. Their candidate won’t be the nominee. His delegate count is one-tenth that of Mitt Romney and only Maine has awarded Paul double-digit delegates. Even when Paul wins, he loses. That’s not to say Rep. Paul is […]
Once a conspiracy theory takes root nothing deters its adherents. Evidence contrary to the speculation is summarily dismissed as another brick in the conspirer’s wall of secrecy. Thus, the plot thickens. Now that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has released details questioning the birth certificate Obama produced last year, birthers could become revitalized. While Arpaio’s […]
Genuine fairness conveys nothing more than the opportunity to use one’s talents and ideas unhindered by legalized oppression. But that notion of fairness has changed. In fact, “fairness” has become one of the English language’s most corrupt words. Contemporary fairness is measured not in equality before the law, the opportunity to better oneself, or the […]
King Solomon wrote in his Proverbs: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Solomon intended for parents to base their children’s future on the Creator’s morals and integrity. A child’s mind is a sponge. Filling those sponges with worthwhile attributes — […]
Mitt Romney has withstood every challenge to date, remaining the only constant in the Republican nomination race. There are legitimate reasons for his consistency. Romney is photogenic, has proven business skills, can manage a budget, and heads a campaign flush with cash. The sum total of these assets is the demise of everyone, thus far, […]
Air Force One sparkled beneath the brilliant Arizona sun as President Obama and Governor Jan Brewer met one fine day on the tarmac. Then, for no reason, Brewer spat on Obama’s foot. Oh, she didn’t? Then she asked him for a shoeshine. No? Did her dog mark Air Force One’s tires? Wrong again? So what […]
No serious person can perceive Iran as anything but an enemy. From the Iran Hostage Crisis to the Ayatollahs’ vision of a world without America, Iran habitually provokes the United States. Recent events aren’t likely to warm the relationship. In fact, the Persian Gulf is simmering toward a boil. Naval exercises in the Persian Gulf, […]
Can we say 2012 is a golden opportunity for the Republican Party? What case can the Democrat incumbent present for reelection? The economy is anemic and job growth remains sluggish despite announced declines in unemployment rates. Republicans have the momentum from 2010 and enjoy popular support for repealing Obama’s signature achievement: ObamaCare. Voters seem to […]
From the minute the Affordable Care Act was signed into law it was destined for the Supreme Court. Lower courts are split on the issue, with some contending ObamaCare oversteps federal authority while others accept it as the central government’s legitimate function. The stakes will be high when the Supreme Court hears arguments next summer. […]
Bank of America (BAC) has rescinded its plan to charge customers a $5 monthly debit card fee. Shall we praise bank regulators for their swift action in preventing the exorbitant charge? Well, no. Then we’ll credit politicians for legislating against greedy, big bank profiteering, right? Wrong again. The free market drove BAC to drop the […]
