President Obama just can’t help himself. It’s impulse. Every time he sees the American people, in their infinite and confounding ignorance, pursuing a course they shouldn’t, he intervenes to correct them. Such is the view from the clouds on which he placidly floats above us all. Most politicians speak of the wisdom of the American [...]
It’s so simple. Fixing this economy, that is. Simple. One step. I’ve written about it before in this space. But let’s build some tiny suspense before I reveal it. The key to the recovery is to unleash the spirits that motivate productive investment. Spirits, that is, and also cash. Right now there is a huge [...]
Ray Bradbury, perhaps America’s most popular and prolific short-story writer, turns ninety on Sunday. As a twentysomething wannabe writer in the 1940s, Bradbury cared too much about what critics thought of him. As he approaches his tenth decade, Bradbury clearly could not care any less. “I think our country is in need of a revolution,” [...]
The California Academy of Sciences, located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, is one of the finest natural history museums in the country. If you get the opportunity to go there, I urge you to do so. Unfortunately, not everything in the museum deserves to be called “science.” The following statement is one of the [...]
There is a tendency for the media and academic analysts to attempt to separate consideration of the illegal immigration of Latin Americans (mostly Mexicans) into the United States from criminal cross-border drug and gun trafficking. Unfortunately this politically correct characterization obscures reality. Human smuggling is a nice little side business for all ranks of drug [...]
Dismantling America by Thomas Sowell (Basic Books, 341 pages, $27.95) America, it seems, is always in decline. Searching through Amazon.com reveals plenty of works arguing that America’s best days are behind her. From the 1974 novel The Decline and Fall of America; to William Dietrich’s 1991 book, In the Shadow of the Rising Sun: The [...]
IT ONLY GETS WORSE Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Worse Than Carter: Thanks for articulating what has become painfully obvious for some time now. – Jeff Rennie Chesterhill, Ohio Mr. Tyrrell, it is not only time to declare one obvious truth — that Obama is worse than Carter — but a second one as well.

Two well established polling firms showed Rand Paul with a 5 point and 10 point lead over Big Government Jack Conway this week. But, CN/2 came out with a poll showing a dead heat. CN/2 is new to the polling game. Likely, the CN/s poll is a flier. While a Conway comeback is plausible, it [...]

While some, including your truly, were a bit nervous that the jack hammering the journ-o-lists in Kentucky were delivering to Rand Paul was taking a toll, a plethora of several polls show that Paul may actually be extending his lead. CE reported the Reuters/Ipsos showed Paul with a five point lead among likely voters, and [...]

Will it really reduce costs of medical care? Is it, instead, pie-in-the-sky? If it really will reduce costs, why has Massachusetts’s similar program led to punishing cost increases? According to a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece (The Failure of RomneyCare, March 16, 2010): One third of state residents polled by Harvard researchers in a study [...]

Answer: Democrat/Socialists and liberal-progressive Republicans are more interesting in protecting their sources of campaign financing, notably public employee labor unions, than in helping you. If you still believe that social engineers can effectively run a planned economy, why are the Post Office, Fannie, and Freddie financial basket cases? Tweet This Post

As the owner of a small restaurant, it felt good the other morning to open the newspaper and read this sentence: “Be proud, small-business owners! You’re now the most trusted group in America.

When I came to town in the early seventies “transparency” was a photographic rather than a political term. Legislation was written in back rooms by Congressional grandees, votes were traded for bridges, highways and no one outside Washington was much the wiser. In those days, more than a few Congressional and Senate offices had three [...]
My friends, I am proud to introduce a bill today, that would repeal the monstrosity that passed yesterday. The bill that barely passed, can only be described as a killer bill. It kills jobs, it kills opportunity, it kills promises that taxes wont rise, and we all know it will be a killer to the [...]
Has the Democratic Party ever enacted a law as atrocious as its government takeover of the American people’s healthcare? Has the Democratic Party ever enacted a law so unpopular? Yes and Yes.
