Since our nation’s inception, faith and politics have been intertwined. Debate has often centered on which side of the aisle is right or wrong in the eyes of God. In 2004, Christians turned out to vote as issues such as homosexual marriage, partial-birth abortion, stem-cell research and gun rights took center stage. However, the last […]
Fresh out of the starting gate, Obamacare is already creating the wholly predictable disastrous results when confronted by the realities of the marketplace. Companies, large and small, are faced with having to yank healthcare coverage from employees because of the law’s mandates, standards, and exorbitant costs, while insurers are being forced to drop certain coverage […]
In California, that is, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is claiming financial woes as the driving force behind his decision this week to sign a bill that would downgrade possession of an ounce or less of marijuana from a misdemeanor to an infraction that would land a $100 fine. The move comes as Proposition 19, to […]
“Waiting for Superman” is a new documentary about public education in America that is already stimulating a lot of discussion about how to ‘fix’ the ailing education system. There’s no need to wait. It is already being fixed in hundreds, if not thousands of schools around the nation, such as the Durham Nativity School in […]
The Chosen One hits new ridiculously high rhetorical lows, again pushing the ‘I feel your angst’ mantra, this time at an elite, $30,400-a-pop Democrat fundraiser. President Obama reminded the gathering of fellow travelers that two years ago he had presaged that “change was going to take time” and implored patience, according to the wonderful Twitter […]
Why Colin Powell remains a favored interview on Republican electoral strategy is inexplicable. Powell’s personal achievements are indeed exemplary. But his conservative credentials expired long ago. He continually proves that he – like too many Republicans – is a small “d” Democrat with an “R” beside his name. Powell’s inside-Washington philosophies were apparent during a […]
Democrats duck out of D.C. a week early, dodge tax cuts, flounder on appropriations bills, balloon deficit, hang budget in limbo, pass a continuing resolution to keep government running, leave economy in ruins – and call it a win. I can see November from my house.
Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun – but no health insurance. How’s that Obamacare working out? Not so good at McDonald’s Corp., where executives have signaled that requirements of the new law would force the fast-food titan to drop insurance coverage for upwards of 30,000 employees. This from The WSJ: […]
I was initially researching the subject of gerrymandering, a subject that crosses my mind periodically when I ponder how career politicians keep getting elected in spite of voters’ dissatisfaction with them. Despite what we were all taught in school on the subject of gerrymandering, it is alive and well and has been manipulating our electoral […]
The United Nations can’t even get it right half of the time on Planet Earth, so naturally we’d want them in charge of greeting any extraterrestrials that happen our way. From the New York Post: Mazlan Othman, an obscure Malaysian scientist, will be named as the Earth’s official alien-spacecraft greeter. She’s expected to announce her […]
