The first reason is easy: Barack Obama. It is shocking to think that a Marxist could ever be president of the United States. But it happened. People always ask, “How could those people have sat back while ________________ came to power. That could never happen here.” Well, it did happen

Big-City mayors are attacking Chick-fil-A by threatening to deny them a business license to operate. These liberal mayors don’t like the public stand the owners have taken on defending biblical marriage. This is tyranny of the first order. First it was punishment for “hate crimes,” then it was for “hate

John Kelly, a columnist for the Washington Post, is advocating that all gun purchases be co-signed as testimony that the new gun owner is not a “nut job.” I’m all for it. That way, no liberal would ever be able to buy a gun. Who will get to determine who’s

When President Obama said “You didn’t build that,” millions of Americans objected. But since there are fewer business owners than those who work for a business owner, the President most likely scored some points with the electorate. Everything he says is calculated to appeal to his base. Conservatives didn’t help

In an interview with Piers Morgan, Justice Antonin Scalia stated, “Regardless of what my views as a Catholic are, the Constitution says nothing about it . . . the Constitution, in fact, says nothing at all about the subject” of abortion. Scalia continued, “Just as the pro-choice people say the

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg loves us. He wants us to be healthy. So he’s taken it upon himself to pass laws to stop people from eating too much salt, trans fats, and big sugary drinks. He believes these new laws will make a difference. Of course, they might, but

What Mitt Romney paid or did not pay in taxes is none of our business. He’s been filing with the IRS for more than 40 years. If he was doing something illegal, he would have been caught a long time ago. Carl Bernstein, co-author of All the President’s Men, asked

Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker of Star Wars fame and the voice of the Joker in the animated batman series, is attacking Mitt Romney because the guy’s a capitalist. Hamill’s net worth is around $6 million. This makes him rich, even by inflationary standards. Then there’s The Avengers director Joss Whedon

For a number of years we’ve been hearing about the dreadful Law of the Sea Treaty, appropriately named LOST. It looks like the 2010 election scuttled attempts to make this horrendous treaty the law. We can thank Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) for leading the way on opposition to it as

The film Soylent Green (1973) — that stars Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, and Chuck “The Rifleman” Connors — is not a great film, but it has one classic line — “Soylent Green is People!” The line reminded me of Obama and his fellow leftists who claim that corporations are

The best way to know what something costs is to pay for it. One of the first things a debt counselor will tell someone in debt is to cut up the credit cards and pay cash for everything. One of the reasons healthcare prices are out of control is because

The concept “social justice” means different things to different people. Justice is often equated with social equality, a mistaken notion if there ever was one. In looking for a helpful way to explain the meaning of justice, baseball comes to mind. Rarely are teams equal in ability. This is especially

What is the first principle of economics? Some economists will claim that it’s supply and demand, while others insist that it’s scarcity or the division of labor. The first principle of economics is “thou shalt not steal.” Economics is ethical before it is practical. Almost all modern definitions of economics,

There was a time when there were standards for getting food stamps (now EBT cards). The food stamp program was designed to help families with the necessities. You couldn’t buy anything you want with food stamps. When my oldest son worked at a grocery store, he was indignant when a

The operating assumption of an organization like the NAACP is any criticism of President Obama is because he’s black. How many times have we heard liberals in general and blacks in particular play the race card any time either President Obama or Attorney General Holder is called on to explain

President Obama has decreed that he is going to tax people who make over $250,000 at a higher rate than people making less, and millions of people are OK with it. How did we get to the place when elected officials can tax American citizens at disproportionate rates to pay

A very wise businessman friend of mine explained how he went about deciding whether he would hire someone for his business. “Ask the prospective client for three references. You know that you’re going to show you only the good ones. When he shows you the references, then ask for the

President Barack Obama told an Ohio campaign crowd that the outcome of the November election will determine the nation’s economic future for the next 10 to 20 years. I wholeheartedly agree. If he gets elected, America’s economic future will be a disaster for the next 10 or 20 years and
