Bob Costas’ Fumble

In a tragedy that has affected a football team, a city, and more importantly a three-month-old little girl, politics has taken center stage where it should not be. Kansas City Chief Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter on Saturday morning then drove to the Chiefs’ practice facility and turned […]

The Dishonest Broker

President Obama’s offer to avoid the fiscal cliff includes $50 billion in new stimulus spending and would change the law to allow the President of the United States to increase the nation’s debt limit whenever he wants without congressional approval. Why would the President include this ridiculous nonsense in a bill to avoid tax hikes […]

Fiscal Reality Check

America has a big spending problem – we are more than $16,000,000,000,000 (16 trillion) in debt.  That’s a fact. Here’s another fact regarding the recent fiscal cliff proposal reported in Politico this morning:  a deal involving $1.2 trillion in tax increases and $400 billion in phantom Medicare cuts will actually produce a net negative result […]

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Cabal

Well, with Nancy Pelosi again assuming the role of Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, liberals will continue on a path to try to transform our country for the worst, and we must have spines of steel. The Obama-Pelosi-Reid […]

My Spine Has Stiffened

The conservative movement took it pretty good on the chin earlier this week. President Obama and his liberal allies mobilized their vote and got it out very effectively in the key states. On Tuesday night, as I went to bed, I was extremely down and out. But on Wednesday, as the sun rose, my spine […]

Politico: What’s wrong with the GOP?

The reports of the Republican Party’s death are woefully premature. Yes, we got thoroughly beaten on Tuesday night and the failures of this cycle are too numerous to mention in this space. The Obama campaign whipped us plain and simple. The Republican Party and, for that matter the conservative movement, must now look itself in […]
