By now you’ve heard that a federal appeals court struck down California’s voter-mandated ban on homosexual marriages. Every time the voters reject homosexual marriage, it’s the courts that overrule them. Usually, I am not a fan of law by majority vote, but in an era where judges rule in terms

One of the universal laws of economics is “Whatever you subsidize, you get more of it.” Joe Biden was asked if government subsidies have had an impact on tuition cost hikes. Here’s what the Vice President said: [G]overnment subsidies have impacted upon rising tuition costs. It’s a conundrum here. But

I just got back from speaking at a Christian Worldview conference. I addressed the issue of Christian activism and the excuses Christians use for not getting involved. While the conference was going on, news was coming out that the church may have awakened from its slumber: Catholic leaders . .

The President and his liberal compatriots were excited to see the Arab Spring bring democracy to a nation like Egypt. There is no doubt that the presidency of Hosni Mubarak was corrupt and needed to be changed. Riots in the streets don’t breed confidence. It would be like putting the

The reaction to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for dropping its financial support for Planned Parenthood was staggering but expected. Liberals are always incensed that someone from the guild would tamper with one of their sacramental institutions. I predicted that outside pressure would force the Komen Foundation to change its

If the unemployment numbers are right, the percentage of unemployed Americans dropped from 8.5% to 8.3%. Of course, the CBO published last week that the real unemployment rate is near 10%. The new percentage, of course, does not take into account the number of people who have dropped out of

Conservatives are getting disillusioned. The Republican candidates are not inspiring a majority of voters. The candidates are attacking one another rather than the real target – the Marxist policies of Barack Obama. The one good thing about the wrangling is that it’s making Mitt Romney sound more conservative. He’s taking

The following comparative statistics are interesting. Attempts have been made to compare the Occupy Everything Movement with the Tea Party. Actually, there is no need for this chart since anybody who saw the TEA Party marches and rallies and heard the speeches knows that there is no comparison. Even so,

Charles Murray has been a keen observer of American society for nearly 30 years. He unraveled the welfare state in 1984 with his book Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950–1980. The book that rocked the establishment was The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life (1994). Murray wrote

This present administration is prepping the poor to vote for him this November. The dependency vote is big for Democrats. The “moochers” as radio personality Neal Boortz calls them, have learned how to game the system to their benefit. It’s like playing a slot machine that always pays. Then there’s

It’s been said that the way a question is framed is enough to get the answer you are looking for. If I ask, “Do you believe a woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body,” most people would say “yes.” But if I ask, “Do

The leftist media are mystified as to why Newt Gingrich is conjuring up the specter of the long-dead radical “community organizer” Saul Alinsky (1909–1972). The Christian Science Monitor is arguing that those in the Tea Party are the real Alinsky followers. Just for the record, Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the

The Washington Times published an article on how homeschoolers are getting behind Rick Santorum. They’re a natural fit, at least with those interviewed. The Duggar family of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” is stumping for Santorum. Here’s how the article begins: If children could vote, Rick Santorum would have it

Equivocation is a logical fallacy. To equivocate is to give “equal voice” — the same meaning — to a word when actually it has two distinct meanings. “The sign said ‘Fine for Parking Here.’ Since the sign said it was fine for parking, I parked there. In the first case,

There’s saber rattling in the Middle East; Obama has shut down a job-creating pipeline that would make us less dependent on foreign sources of oil from less than friendly nations; unemployment is still high; there is no budget; spending is out of control; our elected representatives support bills they don’t

I don’t get to listen to Rush Limbaugh that often. But on Monday, I was in my car and got to hear a conversation that Rush had with a black truck driver. Rush didn’t say much. He let the man talk, and talk he did. It was wonderful. He described

It wasn’t too long ago that that we had three sources of national news: ABC, CBS, and NBC. Print media were limited to the daily newspaper and national news magazines like Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report. No more. The media gatekeepers are few and far between today.

Newt Gingrich called President Obama “the best food-stamp president in American history.” Of course, liberals saw this as a coded racial slur: “I don’t think he is consciously whipping up bigotry, but he is no fool and this is going to be seen through a racial prism,” David Greenberg, an
