We are occupied everywhere, not just on Wall Street or Los Angeles, Boston or Chicago. We’ve been occupied in our schools and universities, our public squares, our local governments, our professional organizations, and our daily lives by what seem like aliens who have taken over the country. I don’t recognize these people. They don’t seem […]
Last Wednesday, Occupy Wall Street, known at Twitter as #OWS, surged, thanks to a boost from MoveOn.org, to 15,000 souls. That same day, former White House Green Jobs Czar Van Jones rallied hundreds at the Capitol. Smaller demonstrations have been reported in 50 cities. Also on Wednesday the Heritage Foundation commenced an effort to tackle […]
Unemployment, abortion rates, child-birth out of wedlock, high school drop-out rates and poverty levels have all skyrocketed in the black communities as a direct result of big-government entitlement programs implemented by the Democratic Party beginning in the 1960s. Shhhhh … that is a dirty little secret the far-left doesn’t want Americans to know. And they […]
Anwar al-Awlaki’s death has stirred an interesting debate. Can we celebrate his departure as one less al-Qaeda operative? Or, should we lament the killing of an American citizen abroad as another step on the slippery slope toward domestic tyranny? The slippery slope argument doesn’t lack precedent. Governments are notorious for targeting their own citizens. Nazi […]
In a similar vein as the warped concept that all students deserve a passing grade, or that every young athlete deserves a trophy, comes news that a football player has been benched for scoring too many touchdowns. In this case, it’s 11-year-old Demias Jimerson from Malvern, AK, where officials have reinstated what’s known as the […]
When the curtain went up on Obama Theatre’s latest presentation, staged at a town hall meeting sponsored by LinkedIn.com, the performance was the same as it has always been. A theatre critic would describe Obama’s act as tired, tedious, and repetitive. The President delivered the same stale routines and predictable themes upon which he’s long […]
Let’s face facts. Obama is not going after “the wealthy” to pay their fair share. The elitists, statists, and the greens are not attacking the poor or themselves. The object of their hatred is all aimed at the middle class. They can, will, and have controlled the poor. In fact they’ve been doing that for […]
The federal education program No Child Left Behind is leaving behind the very children it was supposedly designed to help. The law dictates that all elementary and secondary school children in government-run public schools be “proficient” in reading and math by 2014, according to standards set by politicians and federal bureaucrats. According to President Obama’s […]
Team BO has finally found a way to create new jobs; in this case, it’s a veritable army of new government bureaucrats. Unfortunately, and wholly unsurprising, it will come at the cost of increased regulation that is almost certain to kill business and, by extension, actual, private-sector job creation: The Environmental Protection Agency has said […]
As Social Security is considered the third rail of national politics, Ron Paul is the third rail of the Republican Party. Paul’s detractors are vehement in dismissing the Texas representative as the party’s loose nut. Contrarily, Paul’s supporters are dedicated to crowning him the savior of the GOP and the United States overall. If Paul […]
