Throw the Bums Out! for 07/16/2008

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

The latest approval rating for Congress is at a historic low of 9 percent.

That's the good news.

The bad news is most of these bums will be returned to office in November. You know it, and I know it.

They say people get the kind of government they deserve, and if my prediction is accurate, this will be the proof. It's so unfortunate.

Maybe the problem is the two-part ...

Obama's 'Civilian National Security Force' for 07/23/2008

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

With all the reporters covering the major presidential candidates, it amazes me no one ever seems to ask the right questions.

For several days now, my news organization has been hounding Barack Obama's campaign about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs, Colo. — a statement that blew my mind and has had me scratching my head ever since.

In talking about his plans t ...

Barack Obama's $439 Billion Secret for 07/30/2008

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Last week, I blew the whistle on Barack Obama's secret $439 billion plan for a mysterious initiative called the "civilian national security force."

We don't know any more about this plan than we did when Obama announced it July 2 in a speech, with the relevant part covered by almost no media, with the exception of the Chicago Tribune and Congressional Quarterly.

Thanks, ...

Here's to Rush Limbaugh! for 08/06/2008

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700

I became a Rush Limbaugh fan the first time I heard one of his "homeless updates," featuring the inimitable Clarence "Frogman" Henry on vocals.

Then I heard Klaus Nomi doing "You Don't Own Me." I'm not sure, but I think it was a "gay community update." I became a devotee.

The year was 1987.

A couple of years later, I was recruited to ...

God and Solzhenitsyn for 08/13/2008

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." — Psalm 53:1

When Alexander Solzhenitsyn died earlier this month, I was reminded how this brilliant man of letters explained so simply and accurately how it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik Revolution in his country:

Why McCain Is Worse Than Obama for 08/20/2008

This week, my newest book, "None of the Above: Why 2008 Is the Year To Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote," hits bookstores across America, while I begin a media tour to promote it.

I will be talking about many reasons for rejecting both major-party nominees for the presidency this year. Among them:

—Both Barack Obama and John McCain are unqualified and unfi ...

Meet the Next Secretary of Defense for 08/27/2008

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700

It was about a month ago that I broke the story of what I called "Barack Obama's $439 billion secret."

That was his initiative to create something he called a "civilian national security force," which he promised would have a budget as big as the U.S. military's.

Obama made the campaign promise in a July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Colo., then inexplicably de ...

First, Do No Harm for 09/03/2008

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700

There's an old ethic among doctors (originating with Hippocrates) that says, "First, do no harm."

It means in treating patients, be careful not to kill them.

I think many Americans who would hold their noses and vote for John McCain this year would do well to consider this advice.

John McCain's election would come back to haunt these people. They would live to reg ...

Is Joe Biden All There? for 09/10/2008

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700

I think Joe Biden is unstable — unfit to be a United States senator, let alone a heartbeat from the presidency.

Here's an example of what I mean: Last week, he was in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Someone said to him, "I'd like to know if you guys are going to pursue the violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration."

Biden answered: ...

Personally Opposed … for 09/17/2008

Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and a host of other Democratic Party leaders explain they are personally opposed to abortion but support public policies promoting the snuffing out of innocent human lives because they don't want to impose their moral views on other Americans.

Do you believe them? I don't. I'll tell you why: Biden and Pelosi are only too eager to impose their moral views on the ...

Sarah Palin's Knockout Question for 09/24/2008

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700

In case you didn't notice, there is a concerted war on serious biblical faith in our post-Christian society.

And that's why any day now, you can expect Sarah Palin to be asked a question designed to knock her right out of the race for the vice presidency.

It won't be a question about the "Bush Doctrine." It won't be a question about her teenage daughter. It won't be a qu ...

Biden, Faith, Patriotism and Taxes for 10/01/2008

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Following Joe Biden's logic is not always easy.

Recently, he told Americans that paying more in taxes is the "patriotic" thing to do; that Jesus supported higher taxes; and that he is heeding — selectively, on the issue of taxes — Catholic social doctrine.

Let's start at the beginning.

There's nothing remotely patriotic about raising taxes — espe ...

The New Moral Code for 10/08/2008

Is morality just a matter of opinion? Is there an actual absolute standard of right and wrong? Is a new moral code developing in America today based on contemporary cultural assumptions?

Those are among the most important questions Americans can ask themselves — much more important than, for instance, who should be the next president of the United States.

Farrakhan's 'Savior' for 10/15/2008

The video is absolutely chilling.

It captures Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan saying about Barack Obama: "The Messiah is absolutely speaking."

But there was much more to his address in February at the Nation of Islam's annual Saviours' Day event in Chicago.

The speech was called "The Gods at War." It was a carefully crafted endorsement of Obama no ...

Why Colin Powell Is Wrong for 10/22/2008

I don't know whether the endorsement of Barack Obama by former Secretary of State Colin Powell will change any voters' minds, but I'd like to attempt to change some minds about Colin Powell.

Powell is perceived as a steady, moderating figure in American politics. But what he said in his pitch for Obama shows he is not very discerning.

For instance, he seems to believe Obama's word ...

Sometimes those of us who have been around for a while take too much for granted.

I tend to assume, for instance, that most Americans understand socialism is an evil, immoral system of economics and government.

But then occasionally, I get a letter from a young American who has been taught throughout his life that only the government can spread wealth fairly or that market economi ...

For 232 years, America has been the boldest, most successful experiment in personal liberty in the history of the world.
