Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) continues to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan because of ambiguous responses to the administration’s drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Republican Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz as “wacko birds.” McCain

Fund raising must be down at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Because the KKK and skin-head groups are a distant memory, the folks at the SPLC have worked feverishly to find radial bad guys so the money will keep rolling in. Their new phantom targets are “far right hate

Jeb Bush is considering running for President in 2016. Please spare us. It’s just what the Republicans need. The second Bush barely eked out his 2000 and 2004 wins. It was his policies that created the Obama refrain, “It was Bush’s fault.” And much of it was, although the fault

It’s about time. We’ve needed a battle over ideology on the Supreme Court that the public gets to read about. The 1965 discriminatory Voting Rights Act is being reviewed by the Supreme Court. Who would ever question such an Act? I mean, voting rights is the staple of our Republic.

When my business partner and I started Godfather Politics we had the mafia in mind. The mafia is not much different from the way our government works. When my oldest son was about four, we were at the check-out line at a Blockbuster video store when he noticed a video-tape

Like you needed another reason to abandon government schools. Well, there is one more, and it won’t be the last one. Massachusetts has put out an 11-page directive on “transgendered students.” I didn’t even know there could be “transgendered” middle and high school students. The new rules would allow transgender

The history of the world is the history of the rise and fall of empires that thought they had control over their destiny, that they were the predestinators of history. If given enough power and control, they believed that they could do anything. History shows that they were wrong. The

Rush Limbaugh read a letter titled “More Modern Way of Living” on “The Rush Limbaugh Show” February 15, 2013. The letter was originally published in the Carteret County News-Times on January 23rd. The letter is real. It was sighed, “A Proud Democrat.” But there’s some question as to whether it

Worshiping political leaders is not a new thing. From the Egyptians and the Romans to Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong the citizenry were called on to worship their leaders.  Dominus et Deus Noster, “Our Lord and God” was attributed to the Roman emperor to Domitian, who served as Emperor from AD

It’s too bad that more people aren’t upset about the direction our nation is headed. They’re indifferent to politics until something that really irks comes along, and by then it’s often too late. They stay home on election days by arguing that there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between

Leon Panetta announced that female military personnel will now be allowed to engage in combat. They will be permitted to take frontline positions in a war. They’ll be able to get blown to bits just like men. But that’s only in war. At the same time this announcement was being

When I went to visit my mother yesterday, her TV was stuck on President Obama’s Inaugural Address. It was painful to listen to it. Fortunately my 90-year-old mother is hard of hearing. I came in on this line from the address: “Being true to our founding documents does not require

John Dickerson, writing for Slate, laid all his political biased cards on the table. We knew this is what liberals were all about. We didn’t need for someone to spill the beans. It’s refreshing to see someone being so honest: “The president who came into office speaking in lofty terms

Who said the following? “I am a Christian, I am a Protestant, I am a Baptist . . . [and] my own personal religious faith . . . has developed out of my own personal experience in life as well. . . . [T]he tradition of which I’m a part

Christians are riled up that Louie Giglio, pastor of the Passion City Church in Roswell, Georgia, was dumped by Obama’s people to give the benediction at the President’s inauguration ceremony. I’m shocked that more Christians aren’t riled up that Giglio agreed to do it in the first place. Don’t get

President Obama surrounded himself with children as he issued a series of Executive Actions to stop gun violence, none of which will actually stop anybody hell-bent on murdering. If you can’t make your case without props, then you don’t have a case to make. Politicians are mostly about theater. The

The anti-Second Amendment crowd is on the warpath again. PBS’ Bill Moyers, who served as White House Press Secretary in the Lyndon Johnson administration from 1965 to 1967, called the NRA “the enabler of death.” 65 million other gun owners in the United States didn’t kill anybody yesterday. I live

We need to stop presidents from taking their constitutional oath with their hand on the Bible, swearing before God that they will uphold the Constitution all the while knowing they won’t. Their campaigns and policies tell us that they will not follow the Constitution to the letter. The Constitution is
