Psychology professor Dr. Blake Armstrong, who teaches at South Texas College in Weslaco, Texas, was caught on video comparing the Tea Party to the Nazis. You’ve got to love the new “everybody-is-a-journalist” era. To cover his tracks, Armstrong “told his students not to ‘tell anybody’ about his remarks — but

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

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

“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

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

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

Liberals joined President Obama by refusing to consider a reduction in corporate taxes which are some of the highest in the world. A lot of people will think this is a good thing. Stick it to those corporations. Here’s how the rejection of tax cuts is being reported: “A group

Disenfranchised blacks have sought ways to advance their cause by joining groups that promise to be the remedy for injustices done to them. This is not a new phenomenon. Communists promised a social and political utopia, and millions joined the cause. Its revolutionary rhetoric and calls for economic justice led

Arit John at Bloomberg.com reported on an interesting suggestion presented to the Republicans by the editor of National Review, Rich Lowry. He said that if he were John Boehner, “I’d say to the president: ‘Send us your State of the Union in writing. You’re not welcome in our chamber.’” Evidently

During the White House Turkey pardon this year, President Obama joked that his critics would call his action “amnesty.” “I know some will call this amnesty,” he said, as the people in the room laughed. “But don’t worry, there is plenty of turkey to go around.” Obama also joked that
