When Peter Schiff, CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., approached Vance Jones at the Democrat National Convention for an interview, Jones declined. He was smart. Undeterred, Mr. Schiff went on to interview a number of delegates about corporate profits. Their responses were shocking. Well, not really.

Watching the Democrat National Convention reminded me of two black and white films from the 1940s that mention Democrats. The first is The Heavenly Body (1944) starring Hedy Lamarr, William Powell, Nancy Potter, and James Craig. It’s about a woman (Lamarr) who’s neglected by her astronomer husband (Powell) who’s pursuing

As I was driving back from my morning 2-mile walk, I was tuned into the Neal Boortz Show. Neal’s show is nationally syndicated. He leans libertarian. He’s retiring in January and Herman Cain is going to take his place. Anyway, Neal played an interview with a delegate from the Democratic

If you use the word “Chicago,” you’re a racist. If you criticize the president about anything, you’re a racist. For the longest time, “racist” was a debate stopper. Unfortunately for the Democrats, calling everybody a racist doesn’t work anymore. With this in mind, Democrats have upped the ante by identifying

Saul Alinsky (1909–1972), who wrote the book Rules for Radicals, is the patron saint of the modern Democratic Party. Liberals always feign ignorance about the intellectual sources that give meaning to their radicalism. They ask, “What’s the Communist Manifesto?” every time someone points out that one of its planks is

No matter who becomes president in November, he’s going to be confronted with a huge fiscal storm that no levee or dam will be able to hold back the flood waters of an insurmountable and unfathomable debt. In his review of Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2016: Obama’s America, Dr. Gary North

It’s been said that a person is known by the company he keeps unless he’s a Democrat. I added the Democrat part. But it’s true. How many times did Democrats stand behind Robert C. Byrd (1917–2010), the longtime Senator from West Virginia, even though he was a member in good

The Democrat Party is in trouble. If it didn’t have the media behind it propping it up, defending every foible and misstatement, and paper-overing its many lies, I’m firmly convinced we would have a very different political debate going on. Consider what’s happened to the Democrats since President Obama took

The First Amendment to the Constitution states as clearly as it can that the people have the right to “petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Wrapped up in this Constitutional right are additional rights regarding speech, press, and assembly. It’s a package deal. We can petition in several

“The Greatest Generation” is a term coined by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation that grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity at home made a decisive

It’s been said by the Democrats that Mitt Romney is a murderer, felon, and tax cheat. Democrats have also maintained that Bain Capital is all about making money and destroying the little guy. As it is with Liberals, there are no facts to back up the allegations. People are supposed

Mitt Romney’s already been to New Orleans to see the hurricane damage first hand. He smells victory in November and so he’s acting presidential. Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, who was slated to speak at the GOP Convention, made the right call and stayed in Louisiana to oversee cleanup operations. Why

Trying to get elected as a third party candidate in American politics is extremely difficult if not impossible. Ballot access is an obstacle since third parties have to meet additional criteria not required of Republicans and Democrats. Reform Party candidate Ross Perot was able to get on the ballot in

The following is the text from a radio message that Ronald Reagan gave in 1976. Reagan reworked the story of “The Little Red Hen” by putting it into a modern economic context. You can listen to it here. It’s s relevant today as it was in 1976. In fact, it’s

Parodies and caricatures of political campaigns have a long history. They can be mean spirited, as Liberals are noted for, or they can be just funny. “Mr. Scam Man” is funny. Two guys sitting around having fun with the song “Mr. Sand Man” and turning it into a political statement

First it was an abortionist who believes he’s doing a public service to the world by killing “ugly black babies.” Now the Left is demeaning any black person who dares leave the liberal plantation. The latest runaway liberal slave is Mia Love. Love is the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah,

If you’ve ever been in a debate over abortion, you know where the land-mine questions are buried. The first one is, “You have no right to tell me what I can do with my own body.” The most accurate and simplest answer is, “Of course I don’t have any right

Do you want your children exposed to a scientist who claims God does not exist? Since scientists can’t make such a claim in the name of science, such a scientist is not being a scientist. A scientist can believe God does not exist, but he can’t demonstrate scientifically that God
