You have got to see this to believe it! Listen to what Barack Obama is saying! How can anyone be so naive? How can anyone be so stupid as to want to put this disaster into the Oval Office? Watch this video all the way through. If it doesn’t scare you, well, then … let’s [...]

Illegal immigration may not be that big an issue within the GOP anymore. Look at the impending nomination of John McCain. If conventional wisdom held true, Senator McCain would not be the party’s presumptive nominee. Apparently, all those Republicans who claim that illegal immigration was tops on their priority lists either didn’t bother to campaign [...]

John Stossel really lit up the skyline with this column. The New York Times has rolled out the gun-control bandwagon and offered some criticism towards the U.S. Dept. of Interior for rethinking gun bans in National Parks. Check out these excerpts: As usual, the Times editors seem unaware of how silly their argument is. To [...]

Looks like Sen. Obama is pinning a good deal of his campaign on class-warfare. In addition to his Texas ads that severely over-inflate what an executive makes compared to minimum wage earners, here is what we will have to look forward to if Sen. Obama gets to make appointments to the Supreme Court. Terence Jeffrey [...]

Tom Blumer has a good entry over at NewsBusters.org. I’ve done my own math here, but the pont is exactly the same. From his article: It’s an extraordinarily clever claim. It gets your attention. It’s misleading. And of course, Old Media isn’t questioning it. I am referring to the following statement made by Barack Obama [...]

The fallout is still coming down for the New York Times and their hit piece against Senator John McCain. Apparently, the Old Gray Lady has gotten too old and set in its leftist ways to be taken too seriously anymore. Dr. Thomas Sowell has something to say about that in his most recent column: The [...]

It’s still out there. The McCain Derangement Syndrome. And I don’t mean from leftist Dems. The MDS is coming from the right, mostly from Conservatives who failed to rally behind more right-leaning candidates or were conspicuously absent from the polls on Super Tuesday. But more rational voices are starting to come through. One of those [...]

Yes! As time goes on we see more and more people coming over to support the FairTax as a viable replacement for our convoluted, often contradictory and wasteful current Tax Code. From Star Parker’s latest column: Economists can argue cause and effect. I’ll just point out that as soon as we enacted the income tax, [...]

Hypocrisy is alive and well on the left, especially in the Democratic Party. Rather than debate the issues, a debate they know they will lose, the Dems have decided early to engage in the politics of personal destruction against Senator John McCain. From TownHall.com: The national Democratic party wants campaign finance regulators to investigate whether [...]

There is alot about the socialized health care systems of Canada and Great Britain that doesn’t get reported in Old Media. One of the more recent developments out of Great Britain, a development that I learned about from Glenn Beck rather than ABC News, is that the British government has guaranteed a wait of “no [...]

Kathryn Jean Lopez has some good advice for GOP Presidential Candidate John McCain. Mostly, it has to do with emphasizing experience over empty optimism. Even MSNBC’s Hardball commentator Chris Matthews hammered an Obama supporter by asking: “What has he accomplished, sir? You say you support him. Sir, you have to give me his accomplishments. You’ve [...]

Wow! A few days ago, the leftist New York Times ran an anonymous source based story about John McCain on the front page in an effort to discredit the presumptive GOP nominee for President. But, when B. Hussein Obama comes up with his own anonymous source based story, no one seemed to notice or even [...]

Remember when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) yelled: “The war is lost!” into a microphone? I do. I remember thinking how disrespectful it was to the troops who were serving over in Iraq and Afghanistan and how it was no surprise that a Dem would so publically show such disrespect. Well, the Dems seem [...]

This article by Nathan Burchfiel of the Business & Media Institute is from January 30 of this year but it is still relevent in terms of comparing the candidates for President. It is also important to note that these comparisons have gone largely unreported by Old Media. Here is a very relevent comparison: Obama’s reference [...]
