The United States’ first black president has taken office. On many levels this is a good thing, though I daresay it would be better if the historic election had brought a fiscal conservative to the White House, particularly at this uneasy moment in our history. Even so, I do not hope Mr. Obama fails, as…

Obama’s Choice of Rick Warren is Inspired
Barack Obama’s choice of pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his presidential inauguration is a good one. Warren, whose book The Purpose Driven Life has inspired millions of Americans, represents American values – and American citizens – far better than the far-left zealots who are frothing at the mouth over Obama’s decision. Is…
The Wisdom of Markets
Crowd-sourcing, capturing the “wisdom” of the mob, was what the cool kids were doing not so long ago. Witness the rise of the Daily Kos and other such web sites. One thing they failed to espouse in their almost universal progressive liberal dogma is that the idea of mining – and manipulating – the minds…
The Greatest Killer of All
Jobsanger, the Texas Liberal’s guest writer, says that religion was what killed 300+ Muslims – and an uncounted number of Christians – in Nigeria over the weekend. The Nigerian conflict has been going on for some time and is at its core, as Jobsanger says, a religious war. Religions have been the source of fighting…
Obama’s Wealth Redistribution – He Likes It and We Like Him For It
Chris Coffey says, “Of course Senator Obama wants to redistribute wealth. The real story is that Republicans are still trying to convince voters of such an obvious point just one week before the election.” McCain and Palin can try as hard as they want to sell that can of Spam as Grade A Beef but…
Uber-Liberal Hypocrites Guillotine Bush
After all the left’s gnashing of teeth over comments allegedly made at a Republican presidential rally, the pic below shows the core belief of their far left fringe. A little over the top, no? Even if some moron did shout "Kill him!" about Obama at a Palin event, the elaborate death-contraption these Obama supporters constructed…
Dividing America
An oft-repeated refrain is that Americans are more divided than ever before. Now David Neiwert says that Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann should be censured for saying the media investigate members of Congress who hold anti-American views. True, Bachmann’s statement is not worthy of a Congresswoman. But there’s more to consider, as I discuss below. First,…
More (Un)Fairness Doctrine
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? Stephen writes: If (when?) Obama is elected, by my estimation there’s an at least even chance that the newly-reconstructed FCC will reverse course and attempt…
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. Unfortunately there’s one…
