Stephen Green knows that the Fairness Doctrine is anything but. How could it possibly represent fair outcomes given its birth in a bastard Congress and possessing a name like that?

Obama’s Friendships and Mentors are Important
Mark Levin writes: We choose our own friends and associates. And this is significant in Obama’s case in particular as we are trying to get a sense of who he is and what informs him. Obama is asking the nation to honor him with its highest office. Yet, during most of his adulthood, he has befriended…
The Left’s Claim to Value Life
One of the American left’s great lies is that they value human life. This claim is manifested primarily in their opposition to the practice of executing violent criminals and the prosecuting of wars against evil nations and their rulers. There are reasons for thinking people to take these positions; however, for a liberal American to…
The Intellectual Left and Censorship
It’s common knowledge that conservatives are old, white-haired, white-skinned men with money who don’t care what anyone thinks save for those like them. The corollary is that it’s the left who are the staunch defenders of freedom in everything from retroactive birth control to homosexual marriage to free speech. Everyone knows that.

McCain, Rabble Rousers, and the Future

Cowardly for not rubbing Barack Obama’s relationship with Weather Underground terrorist and neo-educational guru Bill Ayers in the American’s people’s face on Tuesday. If not wanting to blow whatever chance he had left at winning this election is cowardice then perhaps Cole – keyboard commando extraordinaire…
Look Who’s Voting!
When Indiana passed a new voter ID law recently the liberal left was up in arms about all the poor, helpless, presumedly liberal voters who would be "disenfranchised" by having to demonstrate they were who they said they were. Now it seems that the Indiana law was prescient and that liberals need to add a…
McCain vs. Obama Debate
Financial Crisis McCain: we must stabilize home values by feds buying up bad loans. We need to re-write these loans so homeowners can stay in their homes. Obama: the problem was caused by Republican de-regulation, something that McCain championed that led to sub-prime loan crisis I was well aware of. Spending Obama: Bush doubled the…
What’s $53T Between Cronies?
Former comptroller general of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office David M. Walker says that the recently passed $700B "Wall Street Bailout" bill is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the federal government’s debt obligations: The ultimate cost of the act should ring up at less than…
