The Left is trying to make political hay out of the lie that conservatives want to deny women access to contraceptives. Some have called the debate over contraception funding and opposition to abortion “The War on Women.” Democrat operative Wasserman Schultz said, “It’s time Romney and the rest of the

Dear Rush Limbaugh: I know you apologized for calling 30-year-old Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute.” The language was certainly over the top. I know what you were thinking. Sometimes people need to be hit over the head with a 2×4 before something sinks in. Before the watching world

I got a call Thursday morning from my business partner asking me what I thought about the death of Andrew Breitbart. He wanted to know if I thought it might have been a hit job. First, I was shocked that Breitbart had died. I had not heard the news. Second,

Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland are claiming that the Commissioners of Carroll County, Maryland, were wrong to use $800 of taxpayer money to fund a talk by David Whitney, pastor of Cornerstone Evangelical Fellowship in Pasadena, Maryland, to teach

“The U.S. Senate rejected a GOP amendment on Thursday that would have overridden President Obama’s mandate that most employers, including religious nonprofits, and all insurers provide free contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs for women. The measure failed by a 51-48 vote.” The Republicans are bad, but not as bad as

There’s still hope for America! It’s going to be a bumpy ride, but we can’t let political potholes get in the way of making a sea change in Washington. I’ve said this before — the presidency is not the only battlefront. We might not like what we’re going to get

One of the reasons the states wanted a limited national government was to avert the tendency of governments to increase in power and authority. It’s no wonder that the Constitution is a very short document. The more it said on a subject, the more authority the government would have. The

Rick Santorum is getting hammered because of his social issues message. Critics say that he should be talking about the economy and not contraception and abortion. When a candidate gives a speech, he talks about a lot of things. Members of the media pick and choose what to concentrate on.

There is little incentive for nearly 50 percent of the population to care about a reduction in taxes since they are the beneficiaries of high taxes for everybody else and none for them. To reduce taxes means a reduction in what they might get. At least that’s what they believe.

Last week, the French Parliament voted for Nicolas Sarkozy’s “Robin Hood tax.” The tax will be “on high-finance transactions and currency trades by banks and institutions.” Sarkozy hopes it will lead to France becoming the first European Union country to adopt such a levy. He expects other European nations to

Rick Santorum gave a speech in Detroit on February 16th, 2012 on the topic of economics from a conservative point of view. As usual, the liberal media pulled an out-of-context paragraph and then gave it their own Leftist interpretation: “I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income

I don’t gamble, unless you count investing in stocks gambling. I visit Las Vegas at least once each year. I’ve never put a penny in a slot machine, played Black Jack, or spun a roulette wheel. I take advantage of inexpensive hotel rooms (Mon. thru Fri.), great food, shopping, and

Most kids growing up in the 1950s and 1960s either took a “brown bag” lunch to school or brought one in a metallic square box. Those lunch boxes have become collector’s items. Some sell for more than a $1000. If there’s a working thermos, it’s even more. I saw kids

It’s hard to tell what’s a spoof and what’s the truth these days. There are some clever people who can make almost anything believable because there’s enough truth in a spoof to make it seem authentic. The latest is “A CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PHOBIA” written by a Dr. Ivor

Jack Lew is President Obama’s Chief of Staff. He made the talk-show circuit on Sunday and lied, lied, and lied about who’s to blame on the budget impasse. If he’s not lying, then he doesn’t know how our government operates and this would make him incompetent. Lew is trying to

Perhaps you’ve noticed that buildings in Washington D.C., with their columns and facades, are reminiscent of Roman architecture. Interestingly, some early American political writers called themselves by Roman names. The authors of The Federalist, a collection of 85 essays written in favor of the Constitution, did not use their real

Here’s the way politics works: Liberals overreach and conservatives compromise. In the end Liberals win. Liberals will propose a ten percent tax increase, and Republicans will settle for five, the very number Democrats hoped to get. It might take Liberals longer to get to their goal, but they know that

The film Planet of the Apes (1968) has some classic lines. The most famous is “Get your paws off me, you damned dirty apes.” AFI’s “100 Movies . . .  100 Movie Quotes” lists it at #66. A line not on the list, but one I use on a regular
