Dawn Johnsen, President Obama’s radical and ill-advised choice for the Office of Legal Council in the Justice Department, has withdrawn her nomination. This is, of course, good news for those of us who would like to see a common-sense approach to dealing with Bush administration officials alleged misdeeds and federal abortion policy, to name two…

Obama’s Smarmy Wit to Counteract Voter Anger?
I admit it: watching President Obama joke that the earth hadn’t broken in two as a result of DemCare being passed made me mad, even madder than I was when it was simply Democrats ramming another plank of their neo-socialist agenda down the throats of the American people, ignoring their cries for mercy as they…
Terms Limits Needed to Restore Representative Government
Over 90% of representatives and over 80% of senators were re-elected in 2008. Far from being a sign that Americans are pleased with the job they are doing – a voters’ dislike for both houses of Congress is extremely high at the moment – this statistic demonstrate the thesis of this article, that mandatory term…
Obama’s Foreclosure Plan Another Abomination
The ink barely dry on President Obama’s health care bill – and so-called victory over the American people – the president has a new set of victims to help: those unable to pay their home mortgages. His plan is a particularly abominable one straight from the playbook of Karl Marx. If President Obama has his…
DemCare’s True Costs Already Showing
American companies have responded to the Democrats’ new health care entitlement the only way they can – by anticipating how much it’s going to cost them to implement: On top of AT&T’s $1 billion, the writedown wave so far includes Deere & Co., $150 million; Caterpillar, $100 million; AK Steel, $31 million; 3M, $90 million;…
What Libertarians Stand For
Guy McLendon, Harris County Libertarian Party chair, on libertarianism: Libertarians traditionally have no truck with either party. “We’re neither far right nor far left” he said. “We basically align ourselves with Ben Franklin, who believed that government should neither spend all your money nor tell you how to live your life.” Is it just me…
DemCare Passes House, Unfortunately
Once again Democrats have voted to take money from people like me – who work for a living and vote for non-Democrats – and give it to their constituents as payola for their votes. This is what liberal politics is all about, using other people’s money against them by creating welfare programs that in turn…
The Un-American Shame of DemCare
President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi should be ashamed of their un-American behavior on any number of levels, from their flagrant disregard for the wishes of the American people – a majority of whom want nothing more at this moment than for the Democrats’ relentless pressure to pass DemCare to stop…
Of COBRA Bills and Other Snake Oil
Republican Senator Jim Bunning, who was known as a daffy baseball pitcher back in the day and a casual senator with a tendency to napping in session in the present, has given up his one-man speed bump imitation and will allow Democrats’ plan to extend COBRA benefits and subsidies to unemployed workers for an additional…
Court Packing Should Not be an Option for Obama
Steve Isaacs says that President Obama should take advantage of the Constitution’s failure to fix the number of Supreme Court justices and do an end-run around the court that dealt the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law a death blow last year. Why? Because he and other liberals fear that the courts might weigh in against the…
