What’s going to happen when eager newbies, who were voted into office to bring fundamental change to Washington, alter the political process, and dilute the Establishment Republican stranglehold on policy issues get seduced by GOP leaders who have shown themselves to be corrupt over and over again. Consider this latest

As I predicted in 2013, 2014 turned out to be a great year for the Tea Party. Conservatives didn’t get everything they wanted. We’re still stuck with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, but we’ve added some good people to the ranks of the GOP. We’ll know very soon if the

The easiest way to win a bad argument is to pull the race card. It’s like wearing the Scarlet Letter, but in this case it’s an ‘R’ rather than an ‘A.’ The latest descent into absurdity is protestations of singing the 1942 Irving Berlin song “White Christmas,” the bestselling recording

There’s a new study out that says atheists don’t donate as much money to charities as religious people do. Of course, the title of this article is overly broad, and nearly every atheist would deny its premise, but there is nothing inherent in the worldview of atheism to support the

If you’ve seen the movie Saving Mr. Banks (2013), starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, you will understand why every congressman should be recorded when discussing any piece of legislation. It should be a law, whether a discussion takes place over breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The recorder should always be

Not everything in the world is taking place in Ferguson, Missouri, or New York City. Not everybody is a thug or a “racist.” There are tons of stories out that move the heart. Unfortunately, if it doesn’t bleed, it most often doesn’t lead. I saw this story yesterday, and wanted to

“What Makes You Think We Read the Bills? was the tongue-in-cheek title of a book written about 30 years ago by long-time California lawmaker H. L. ‘Bill’ Richardson. The book is a chronicle of slip-ups, snafus and shenanigans from our national and state capitols. The stories are amusing but also outrageous.

Gay rights is all the rage. Irrational judges are making irrational decisions about the normalcy of same-sex everything. Anybody who knows anything about biology knows, same-sex sexuality is more than irrational. In the 1980s there was the great AIDS awareness drive. The claim was made by homosexuals that anybody could

American Atheists, who represent the religion of the New Atheist movement in the United States, have “launched a billboard campaign in several Bible Belt states urging people to skip church this Christmas and stop listening to ‘fairy tales.’” The billboards contain this message showing a child writing a letter to

I don’t owe anybody anything except what I’ve contracted to pay over time. I’ve never owned a slave. I’ve never denied a black person a job. Who is Charlie Rangel to demand reparations from me? Trillions of dollars have been paid out to poor people for more nearly 50 years.

When I saw a number of Democrats with their hands up on the floor do the House of Representatives, it made me laugh. Usually left-leaning Joe Scarborough had had enough of their sanctimonious stupidity: “He excoriated a number of members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the House floor

I was watching the film 42, the number that Jackie Robinson wore when he played for the Dodgers, the only number ever retired by Major League Baseball, over the weekend while also reading stories about looting and rioting in Ferguson, Missouri. 42 is about Jackie Robinson’s entry into professional baseball.

The death of any person is a tragedy. The death of a teenager in an altercation with a police officer is equally a tragedy. Unfortunately, many Black leaders aren’t so much concerned about the death of one black teenager as they are about making race an ongoing war. I firmly

“The sanctification of the rights of individuals and their liberties today by libertarians and Tea Party conservatives is contrary to our evolved human nature as social animals. . . . The thought that it is both rational and natural for each of us to care only for ourselves, our own

On Sunday, players of the St. Louis Rams raised their arms in tribute to the events in Ferguson, Mo., as they walked onto the field during introductions before the team’s game against the Oakland Raiders. It reminded me of the awards ceremony for the 200 meters at the 1968 Mexico

Liberals and Muslims have a lot in common. They are equally mixed up on the whole flat earth thing. Every time there is a dispute with liberals about science, liberals are quick to charge that those opposing their unsubstantiated claims are reverting to a belief in a flat earth even

We are learning that Lord Harries of Pentregarth, a retired Anglican Bishop of Oxford, said that at Prince Charles’ coronation would include a reading from the Koran. Such “a gesture at the traditionally Anglican service would be ‘creative’ and make Muslims feel ‘embraced’ by the nation.” Embraced by the nation?

“Racist” is the word liberals use to shut off debate. When they are losing the argument, they pull the race card. Everything any white person does is racist. Whites can’t help being racists. They are white. To add to the indictment, a new race card has been pulled. It’s called
