As I have written in the past, it is testimony to the mettle of the American Republic that it can, from time to time, suffer fools at its helm. It has endured the drunkenness of Ulysses S. Grant, the socialism of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the constitutional violations of Richard M. Nixon and the alley-cat morality of Warren G. Harding, John F. Kennedy and William J. Clinton.

My Dear Wormwood: As your uncle and senior demonic mentor, I feel compelled to take time out of my busy schedule here in Hell in order to disabuse you of the notion that you are failing in your duties. Sunday, July 30, 2006 07:04:02 PM
In 2004, Pennsylvania’s junior United States senator, Rick Santorum, a solid, reliable social and fiscal conservative, was compelled by his party and by the Bush White House to hold his nose, betray his principles and campaign for the Keystone state’s senior senator, Arlen Specter, simply because he was an entrenched incumbent with an “R” behind his name. (Of course, in Specter’s case, the “R” stands for RINO rather than Republican.) Sunday, July 23, 2006 08:41:08 PM
I think some of my fellow conservatives had started to believe that George W. Bush didn’t know he had the power to veto bills coming out of the United States Congress. Sunday, July 16, 2006 05:25:21 PM
On that awful evening of September 11, 2001, my gaze alternating between my television screen and my computer screen, I wrote a column called “Now We Know How Israel Feels.” Sunday, July 09, 2006 11:05:10 PM
In Joseph Heller’s loony World War II novel, “Catch-22,” the main character, a paranoid Army Air Corps bombardier named Yossarian, wants desperately to stop flying bombing missions over Europe. Sunday, June 25, 2006 09:23:49 AM
My son argues with me almost every time I use the word "treason" to describe the actions of liberals. His response to my use of the word in a recent column was to e-mail me the following: "Treason is very much in the realm of specific acts pertaining to the national security of the nation, and I don’t think being a whiny liberal qualifies as treason." Perhaps, but it comes close. Sunday, June 18, 2006 10:58:59 AM
During his 1994 Contract with America tour, one of Newt Gingrich’s pet themes was the unchecked growth of the welfare state. He spoke of federal food stamps as just another form of currency. Sunday, June 11, 2006 10:39:54 PM
With the extermination of al-Qaeda’s number one terrorist in Iraq, there is reason for great celebration, although one would never know it listening to liberals in Congress, the mainstream media and the kook fringe of the left-wing blogasphere. Sunday, June 04, 2006 12:26:28 PM
“I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.” - Matthew 25:36 (NKJ) Wednesday, May 31, 2006 07:39:51 AM
As I write this, today feels like a day to just “vent,” so here goes… Sunday, May 21, 2006 07:35:29 PM
The Peter Principle was on display in New Orleans last week as Mayor Ray Nagin was reelected to another term of incompetence and corruption. And just in time for hurricane season, too. Monday, May 08, 2006 11:01:05 PM
The timing could not have been worse. I had just left the theater, stunned and speechless, having relived the trauma of September 11, 2001, by watching “United 93.” As I drove home, I heard the news that the jury in the case of Zacharias Moussaoui had decided to give him life instead of death. I literally screamed at my car radio in disbelief. Monday, May 01, 2006 11:26:04 PM
If a $100 rebate from the federal treasury is the most creative public policy proposal Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist can envision to deal with three-dollar-plus gasoline, the gentleman from Tennessee should explore employment opportunities other than seeking the White House in two years.

“It’s not that liberals don’t know anything; it’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” - Ronald Reagan Sunday, April 16, 2006 10:46:06 PM
In 1937, the state of Nebraska initiated a legislative experiment. Convinced of the idealistic notion that voters would act as the “second house” of the Nebraska Legislature through the ballot initiative process, the state amended its constitution to institute a nonpartisan, one house legislature.

Nearly four years ago, I wrote a column called “Where No One Locks the Door,” wherein I attempted to bring the war on terror down to a very personal level. In rereading it, I realized how timely it was in analyzing the current debate over illegal immigration (particularly border security) so here is an update of that original piece: Monday, April 03, 2006 11:09:02 PM
Several years ago, as part of my duties working for a very conservative member of Congress, I attended a forum on immigration. The premise of the meeting was that the rights of legal immigrants were being violated by employers who intimidate their workforces by blurring the line between legal and illegal aliens.

As April 15th approaches, millions of us are again pouring over receipts, records and other information relevant to our federal income taxes. After getting everything in order, we will be forced by the complexity of the tax code to take it all to an accountant or other tax professional, who will spend a few very expensive hours working through a process our own government doesn’t even understand much of the time.

Everyone is offended these days. Muslins… Jews… Atheists… Blacks…Hispanics… Homosexuals… Native Americans… You name it. The list goes on and on and on. In fact, we are not even surprised any more when lawsuits are filed and complaints are registered over “offenses” real or imagined. Tuesday, March 14, 2006 02:31:46 PM
Google the words “hate crimes” and you will find that there are 21 million sites dealing with the issue. A relatively recent legal concept (in the last 20 years), its most famous examples probably are the 1998 murders of James Byrd and Matthew Sheppard. Byrd, who was black, was brutally dragged to his death behind a pickup truck outside Jasper, Texas. Sheppard, a Wyoming homosexual, was bound to a fence and beaten to death. In both cases, the prosecution sought to make motives, not actions, the issue. Wednesday, March 08, 2006 12:54:42 PM
Fred Phelps calls himself a Christian minister, but his actions resemble a self-styled hatemonger with no room in his heart for the love of God or the forgiveness taught in Christ’s Gospel. Tuesday, March 07, 2006 08:52:23 PM
As I write these words, Hollywood is in the process of awarding itself more accolades for its libertine attitude toward gender confusion and sexual perversion. Brokeback Mountain, a western starring two straight actors portraying sheepherding homosexuals, and TransAmerica, a film starring a woman playing a man who becomes a woman, are being touted as a couple of the more “enlightened” films of the year.

Now that Stanley “Tookie” Williams has been executed, Clarence Ray Allen is the new cause celeb among those seeking to end capital punishment in the United States. As I write this, Allen is just hours from execution by lethal injection in California. Sunday, January 08, 2006 06:42:45 PM
With war and scandal, real and manufactured, dominating the political landscape in Washington, it is easy for the average harried American to forget that a crucial nomination to the United States Supreme Court, one which could shift the ideological balance of power in the federal judiciary, is still pending.

Liberals can barely contain their glee as they feign concern for the nation’s security, even as they compromise it. Meanwhile, President Bush claims that recent leaks published in The New York Times are a much greater threat than any perceived violations of civil liberties resulting from domestic spying on Americans known to be communicating with terrorists. Sunday, December 18, 2005 08:34:29 PM
Many thanks to film critic Michael Medved for his review of Hollywood’s latest piece of social propaganda, “Brokeback Mountain.” Medved has spared 98 percent of American males what he calls “the eww! factor” by warning us of its graphic scenes of homosexuality. Sunday, December 04, 2005 08:02:22 PM
Liberals have been doing a great deal of harrumphing over revelations that the Pentagon may have paid Iraqi newspapers to publish positive stories about the American presence in their country. To paraphrase Sen. John McCain to Tim Russert on “Meet the Press,” if the stories are true and that is what it takes to get the news out in Iraq, so what? Monday, November 28, 2005 02:47:38 PM
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” - Isaiah 5:20 |
