By James Carafano, PhD TonyfromOz prefaces ….. Isn’t it just wonderful how there’s always a way to be able to blame it all back onto George W Bush. There was a “systemic failure” declared the president yesterday (implying the system set up under George W. Bush). That declaration gets Obama off the hook. It also… [Read more…]
By Alan Caruba The most dangerous political trend of 2009 has been the disdain for public opinion that has manifested itself in the White House and among the Democrats who control Congress.

By James Gattuso While most of us were at home waiting for Santa and his reindeer to arrive, a gift arrived for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as the Obama Administration lifted caps on how much bailout money they can receive from the U.S. Treasury.

Opinion by Tim Potts, President Democracy Rising PA The revolutionary founders of this nation had an extraordinary opportunity, and they took it.

Yet that does explain why they recognized the opportunity to invent a new government of three… [Read more…]
By Alan Caruba The phrase, “The bigger they are, the harder they fall” comes from the world of boxing, but it applies increasingly to government.

By Tim Graham The outbreak of conservative anger over Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s mysterious declaration on CNN that “the system worked” when a terror attack almost succeeded on a Northwest Airlines flight is stoking a revisitation of her odd statement to a German magazine in March that “man-caused disaster” is a better term than… [Read more…]

By Rory Cooper By now, you’ve heard the news. On Christmas Day, a 23-year-old Nigerian named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow a full Northwest Airlines jet out of the air above Detroit.

The last part of that title should really read Not At All. Let’s pretend for a minute that in this current trend of going clean and green that a medium to large sized city in the U.S. wants to cut back on its Carbon Dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gas emissions by closing down the large coal… [Read more…]
By Alan Caruba If you felt a frisson of fear on news that the Senate had passed Obamacare the day before Christmas, then you now know what it was and is like to live in a dictatorship. The voice of the People was ignored in a demonstration of raw political power. There was a time… [Read more…]
Our modern world is being threatened by an Islamist movement. It is carrying on a Jihad against the rest of us. It is antisemitic, anti-Christian, anti-Bahai, anti-Buddhist, anti-Hindu, anti-athiest, anti-female, homophobic, intolerant, and anti-democratic. It teaches young Moslems that dying in the service of Islamist global conquest is a carrying out of the teachings of… [Read more…]
By Salena Zito What is the overriding lesson learned about this year of promised “hope” and “change,” given the politics, scandal and shifting social behavior that have permeated American pop culture? I don’t think Americans know yet what they want. But they are pretty clear on what they don’t want. They don’t want Bush, they… [Read more…]

By Kiki Bradley As Congress wraps up its final business for the year, there are at least a dozen detrimental policies included in the omnibus spending bill recently signed into law by the President.
