Reality shows are taking over the airwaves. They're cheap to make -- no huge salaries for actors, writers, producers and distributors. They can be made in countries that don't have big unions dictating the salaries of technical people. And some -- a very few -- are actually entertaining.Wednesday, April 09, 2008 04:02:41 PM
Say what you will about the left-wing bloggers and ultra-liberal Internet news and commentary websites, they've proven themselves a political power to be reckoned with. And Democrat politicians with dreams of sitting in the Oval Office have known it for quite sometime. Friday, September 28, 2007 02:00:00 PM
Yesterday, I was saddened to learn that John Berthoud had passed away. Many in Washington know of the work John did as president of the National Taxpayers Union and as a vital member of the conservative movement; I am honored to have known him as a friend. Monday, September 24, 2007 02:00:00 PM
It would be foolish to discount the political power of the Internet phenom known as MoveOn.org. After all, it claims 3.2 million members.

Traditional journalism has been so battered that it can hardly afford to receive another black eye. Remember the CBS Evening Snooze and the Dan Rather debacle regarding President George W. Bush's National Guard service? "Just the facts, ma'm" has been replaced by the mantra, "All sensation, all t Tuesday, August 21, 2007 02:00:00 PM
It's like Christmas for political pundits nationwide who are trying to make hay out of the Iowa Straw Poll results. Political observers may be dissecting the results until the first Presidential primaries roll around in 2008. Having studied the results, I come to a single conclusion: conservatism remains in style.

An interesting story has come across the Associated Press wire—one that should give every taxpayer in America pause. President George W.

Some economic news came out of Washington this week which should give every Democratic candidate for President reason to pause. Friday, July 20, 2007 02:00:00 PM
For all those who protest any effort to crack down on illegal immigration...for those who claim that we should pursue an open borders policy at all costs...I can only hope that you will study the story of Zina Linnik and reconsider a course which is putting our children at serious risk.

Taxpayer unrest is certainly nothing new to this nation. After all, the New World was populated by people who came to resent the mega-tax policies of the British Empire. Monday, July 02, 2007 02:00:00 PM
An intriguing ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court could re-open discussion about the brainwashing that occurs in all-too-many public school classrooms these days. Thursday, June 28, 2007 02:00:00 PM
Remember when Nancy Pelosi took office as Speaker of the House? You would have thought she was taking the helm of Spiffy Maids rather than the hallowed halls of Congress. Thursday, June 21, 2007 02:00:00 PM

Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion operation, claims to be a trusted source of health information and medical care for young women. However, there is mounting evidence that the organization has failed miserably when it comes to protecting minor girls from sexual predators. Tuesday, May 29, 2007 03:23:00 PM
The right to free speech is one of the most convoluted issues of our day. On one hand, liberals insist that every obscenity and pornographic display needs to be protected under the sacred mantle of free speech... Thursday, May 24, 2007 02:00:00 PM
With summer coming, your thoughts may be turning to whether you'll need a second mortgage to afford a drive to the beach--or even to the grocery store. But, of course, to the spendaholics in Washington... Tuesday, May 15, 2007 03:08:54 PM
Today, the Christian faith suffered the loss of a tireless servant and powerful evangelist. Even as I mourn for the loss felt by Dr. Falwell's loved ones, I remember and celebrate the life he lived; for Jerry Falwell was not a man of empty rhetoric and few deeds. Friday, May 11, 2007 02:00:00 PM
Attempting to capitalize on a particularly horrific American tragedy, some individuals rushed to buy Internet domain names bearing the marks of the massacre. Take, for instance, Fred McChesney, a gun control supporter who, according to the Associated Press... Monday, April 30, 2007 02:00:00 PM
The time-tested practice of adoption too often gets a bad rap in the mainstream media. We hear horror stories of long-lost biological relatives fighting expensive legal battles to remove children from a happy adoptive home. Research also indicates, all too often, pregnant women facing unexpected pregnancies see adoption as a bad choice, viewing it as another name for abandonment. Monday, April 23, 2007 02:00:00 PM
It's funny how selective the mainstream news media are in their war coverage. While American television viewers receive wall-to-wall coverage of the war in Iraq, we seldom hear about our nation's decades-long war on illegal drugs. Friday, April 20, 2007 02:00:00 PM
To hear the mainstream news media tell it, the only issue really in play in the 2008 Presidential election is the war in Iraq. What youre not hearing about is an issue that is likely to have a decisive impact on the Presidential race: abortion. Tuesday, April 17, 2007 04:18:40 PM
It seems hard to believe, given the fact that 9/11 was not so very long ago. But it seems to me that a number of peopleparticularly certain public officialshave become complacent when it comes to the War on Terror. Wednesday, April 04, 2007 02:34:17 PM
In recent years, it's become fashionable in America to talk about the need to stop hate crimes. But, all too often, "hate crimes" are defined as speech which questions the legitimacy of the homosexual lifestyle. Wednesday, March 28, 2007 02:00:00 PM
Hollywood praises Al Gore for revealing what the media elite consider to be inconvenient truths. But the fact is, at some point, Mr. Gore needs to face a few inconvenient truths of his own. Friday, March 16, 2007 03:10:23 PM
One lesson that I've drawn from the 2008 Presidential campaign is that America needs a fresh face. As much as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may try to portray themselves as agents of change, they so monopolize the media spotlight that many of us have already grown weary of them and their rhetoric. |
