The latest Newt-Reagan flap has me boiling. I’ve been in the debate business a long time, and if it’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: Tell the truth about your opponent. As much as you might believe your opponent’s position is wacko, don’t lie about it or misrepresent it. It’s

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

The lies keep on coming. Someone once said that in “the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive

The one-page handwritten letter is written on Executive Office letterhead in cursive and is dated January 25, 2012. In the letter, the governor mentions job creation, the state’s budget, and invites the President to tour Arizona-Mexico border to discuss border security.

Two stories got my attention. The first one was about a man who killed and ate a homeless man. According to an arrest warrant, on Dec. 16 [2011] [Tyree Lincoln] Smith was sleeping on the porch of an abandoned Bridgeport [Connecticut] home occupied by [Angel “Tun Tun”] Gonzalez. Gonzalez woke

Hugh Jackman and Olivia Newton-John have thrown their support behind a campaign to legalize homosexual marriage in Australia. Jackman is best known for his portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men film franchise. The series has been viewed as a metaphor for homosexual rights. People should not be persecuted for being

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,

Here are a few lines from the President’s State of the Union Address: “Let’s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and a financial system that do the same. It’s time to apply the same rules from top to

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

“I’ve been hearing a lot of these Republicans talking about, oh, that’s class warfare, and he just wants to redistribute, and doesn’t believe in work, and he’s trying to create an entitlement society, and this and that and the other. Let me be absolutely clear: I should pay more taxes,

On a Sunday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter tried unsuccessfully to explain why Romney got beaten by Newt Gingrich in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary.

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.

On the eve of 39th anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade pro-abortion decision, the Obama administration has mandated that “many church-affiliated institutions will have to cover free birth control for employees.” This does not mean that Christians will have to get abortions. Keep this in mind as you read

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7-to-2 decision making abortion legal in the United States. Ever since that travesty of so-called justice, many people have felt uncomfortable about the decision. Even Newsweek as far back as 1988 was asking the right questions: And — perhaps most troubling

“Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.” Once we say it’s a good idea for our elected representatives to control one thing, they’ll want to control everything. You know this is true. Now we learn that six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set

“When Mark Twain was in London, a rumor of his death or imminent death reached the editor of the New York Journal, who sent its London correspondent the following cablegrams: ‘IF MARK TWAIN [IS] DYING IN POVERTY IN LONDON SEND 500 WORDS’ and ‘IF MARK TWAIN HAS DIED IN POVERTY
