We’ve been told that President Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. Anybody who gets into Columbia and Harvard has to have some smarts. Then please tell me why he often sounds so stupid. At a

A battle is brewing about the worldview of the latest Muppet film. Eric Bolling of Fox News said, “I’ll put it out there. Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to kind of brainwash our kids? We’re teaching our kids class warfare. What are we, communist China?” Actually, Bolling didn’t say

Not all welfare recipients live high on the hog, but there are so many loopholes in how welfare works and how welfare recipients are looked at by Leftist bureaucrats that the abuses are in the billions. We’ve just learned that families on food stamps (E.B.T.) can now buy fresh crab

“The Hill” reports that Jon Corzine, “former CEO of MF Global, has given tens of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party in recent months, putting Democratic lawmakers in awkward positions ahead of Corzine’s subpoenaed appearance before a House committee next week.” Corzine has been involved in a multi-million dollar

President Obama is about to go on a 17-day vacation in Hawaii. That’s good for America. The less time he spends in Washington the better it is for all of us. The more he is disengaged, the more discombobulated the Democrats are. You know that if Bush had taken such

Donald Trump knows how economies work. Yes, he’s arrogant and full of himself. So are a lot of people, but at least he does not let these character flaws get in the way of some very good work. His business acumen creates jobs. Obama is also arrogant and full of

Newt Gingrich made some media waves with his comments about how poor kids should be taught how to work, including taking jobs at the schools they attend to perform janitorial work. As usual, Poverty-Pimp Al Sharpton took offense. In case you haven’t heard Newt’s remarks, here are a few of

A 2009 study is said to have showed that swearing might help to mute the pain of an injury. A new study claims the same result, both of which are a waste of time and money. “It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain,

If you listen to liberals, children are starving in America. Of course, such a claim is to evoke guilt from the overfed who, I guess, subliminally are being accused of stealing food from the mouths of hungry children. It seems, however, that all the stories I read are abut fat

“Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, author, critic, actor, civil rights activist, and prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America.” He’s a graduate of Harvard and currently teaches at Princeton University. In 2012 he will teach Religious Philosophy and Christian Practice at Union Theological

In addition to those who are arguing for third parties, others are claiming that Christians have no business being involved politically. The following email I received is a typical example of someone who says no to all politics and social action: “Would you not see that the main concern of

Barney Frank is one of the most liberal and destructive members of Congress. America couldn’t get a better Christmas gift this year than to learn that he is not seeking re-election in 2012. It was his banking regulations that contributed to the economic mess that we are in today: The

Christmas bashing is a seasonal regular in the United States. There are many Christians who disdain the so-called holy day (holiday), describing it as a celebration based on pagan themes, rituals, practices, and symbols. In fact, Jeremiads against Christmas in the United States go back a long way. Here’s an

Few films are truly inspirational. I was channel surfing and came across a made-for-TV film that I had seen a few years ago. It was inspiring then, and it was inspiring again as my wife and I sat down this morning to watch it probably for the fifth time. We

I’ve never asked anyone to apologize to me. I especially don’t ask people who write or say nasty things about me to apologize. If you really want to get under someone’s skin, ignore the agitator. In the film Fatal Attraction (1987), Glenn Close’s character is irritated beyond belief when Michael

Anytime you write about Jews and African Americans, you run the risk of being labeled anti-Semitic and racist. There’s no way getting around what will be inevitable criticism. But since Michael Medved, an observant Jew and a conservative, broached the subject in the November 21, 2011 issue of USA Today,

Liberty University has “enacted a policy allowing visitors, students and staff who have concealed weapons permits to carry guns on campus.” The policy replaces an earlier provision that is common to most colleges and universities of a complete ban of firearms on university grounds. Students can’t even keep a firearm

John Wayne is a film icon. He still shows up on the list of best actors more than 30 years after his death. A Harris Poll, released January 2011, placed Wayne third among America’s favorite film stars, the only deceased star ever to appear on the list and the only
