America’s Man-Handler-in-Chief

Back in 1994, Republicans swept both houses of Congress and shifted the balance of power back from Bill Clinton's leftward tilt. Their backlash was largely a result of Clinton's push for nationalized health care. A lot of pundits are making all manner of comparisons between then and 2010, but, as I see it, the main distinction between then and now is that Bill Clinton was fundamentally a proponent of the free-market system, while Barack Obama is an opponent of it, seeking to impose government control over every single aspect of American life he disagrees with, a very long list indeed.

Oh Really, O’Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly: oreilly@foxnews.com Hey Bill, On the April 15th, 2010 broadcast of the O'Reilly Factor, you played a little too fast and loose with the truth when discussing the case of Lt. Col Terry Lakin. Lakin, whom we both recall refused orders to deploy to Afghanistan, cited lingering doubts over the constitutionality of Barack Obama's presidency, and by extension, the legality of his orders to deploy. Before we get started, a word of advice: You should really skip the "Humble Correspondent" bit, your ego is enormous and dwarfed only by Obama's.

WikiLeaks’ Theories Are Full of Holes

On April 5, 2010, a video was released by WikiLeaks which they allege shows US Army aviation units indiscriminately murdering over a dozen innocent Iraqis, including an Iraqi stringer and his driver who were employed by Reuters. Their smear campaign, entitled "Collateral Murder" is a biased hit piece lacking any evidence whatsoever.

If at First You Don’t Succeed Barry, Lie, Lie Again

"Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be, uh, President Obama's leadership. And the Republicans would make a case, and a lot of Independents will buy this argument, listen, he just hasn't been, I mean look at the health care bill, his number one priority and it took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death and a version of... listen, he's a nice person and he's very articulate, this is what's going to be used against him, but he couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him a state trooper and he lied down in traffic." - 3/7/10 - Disgraced ex-journalist Dan Rather speculating on what a failure to pass health care legislation would mean for Obama.

Military Service to Cost an Arm and a Leg Under ObamaCare

As the dust settles over one of the most contentious debates in US history, many of the nation's veterans are wondering what ObamaCare means specifically for them, given their unique situation and the social compact they made with their government to care for them in return for their service and quite possibly their lives. Considering that there are over 26 million living veterans, most of whom participate in either Veterans Administration health programs or Tricare, any legislation to drastically alter the nation's health care system will most certainly have an effect on them that is anything but positive.

The 111th Congressional Majority’s Self-Executing Rule

Back on January 3rd, I predicted that ObamaCare would pass and thanks to the political cover provided by the waffling of my so-called "representatives"and other self-styled pro-life representatives who put politics over principle, Democrats have had their way.

There is No Constitutional Right to Military Service

"Our past experience as military leaders leads us to be greatly concerned about the impact of repeal [of the law] on morale, discipline, unit cohesion, and overall military readiness. We believe that imposing this burden on our men and women in uniform would undermine recruiting and retention, impact leadership at all levels, have adverse effects on the willingness of parents who lend their sons and daughters to military service, and eventually break the All-Volunteer Force." - Statement in support of retaining the current law signed by over 1,000 retired flag and general officers.

Hasan Gets Promoted, McCabe Gets the Shaft

The primary job of the US military is to bring as much force to bear as is necessary to implement the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. We recruit, motivate, train, pay, equip, order, and expect those brave enough to answer their country's call to go anywhere around the world at a moment's notice to kill or capture those who stand in the way of achieving those objectives.

Dems Sharpen Knives, Palpate Own Throats

How can progressive, liberal Democrats continue with their hostile government takeovers, bribery, cronyism, profligate spending and coddling of terrorists in the current political environment? The answer is quite simple, really. As the great Michael Savage was first to point out, liberalism is a mental disorder. Progressive liberalism is so insidious, often times the afflicted are caught unawares. It is bipartisan, infecting Republicans and Democrats alike ever since America's post-Civil War industrial expansion and continuing to this very day.

RINOs Try to Trample Tea Party

The Tea Party Movement was born as a wholesale rejection of the tyrannical, reckless and un-Constitutional actions of an unresponsive government. It wasn't just a reaction to progressive Democrats, but also wayward Republicans who forgot that we owe our allegiance to our Creator and our Constitution, not the US Senate and certainly not an unscrupulous, hypocritical Republican Party offering a gentler form of socialism-lite. Many of these so-called "conservatives" in the GOP are now positioning themselves for 2012. And, although the 2010 CPAC conference further energized an enthusiastic movement, what did it really tell us?

Barack Obama: Robin Hood or Robbin’ Hood?

By now, it is painfully evident to all but the most rabid progressive liberals that the so-called "trickle-up economics", wealth-spreading and obsessively dysfunctional government spending known as Obamanomics has been a complete and total failure.

Obama’s Jawboning Invites Attack

Do you feel safe? Do you remember how outraged you were when you learned that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other high-level Al Qaeda terrorists were to be transferred out of military custody and brought to trial in a civilian court in downtown New York City, practically in the shadow of the World Trade Center rubble?

State of the Union: Penniless and Rudderless

While some Americans may have found Barack Obama's first State of the Union address to be moving, pragmatic and inspirational, I found it completely devoid of substance, belligerent in tone, full of straw men, half-truths or even outright lies and a solid indicator that the US is in for a rough ride, the only solace being that Mr. Obama's ride will be even rougher. It is evident to me that he either didn't get the message sent by the American people or he just isn't interested in heeding it.

Massachusetts: From Blue State to Brown State

With the stunning victory of Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in the special election for Massachusetts Senator coming on the heels of stunning state upsets in Virginia and New Jersey, there can be no more denial. The people of Massachusetts have soundly rejected the arrogance of elitists who believe that the senate seat vacated by the departed Ted Kennedy somehow belonged to him, or that his widow is somehow entitled to hand-pick his successor. Emboldened and energized by victory in liberal Massachusetts, Americans are in full revolt against Obama and Democrats.

American Exceptionalism Not Welcome at ABC

The unimaginable devastation that rocked the island nation of Haiti last week has seemingly brought out both the best and worst of humanity, not just in America, but around the world. While American missionaries, teachers, doctors and social workers have been aiding the people of Haiti for years and others have now mobilized to rescue and assist anyone and everyone they can, others seem intent on turning the disaster into a freakish sideshow or using it as a forum to score domestic or international political points.

America’s First Post-National Security President

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin From day number one Barack Obama has projected weakness on US national security.

Ten Predictions for 2010

As we Americans put another year behind us, one that, like me, I'm sure most of us would rather forget, looking forward to 2010, the one thing that remains abundantly clear to me is that our leadership was completely non-responsive to our concerns in 2009. The future of America depends on the specific actions taken by the people who are in a position to shape it. Unfortunately for Americans, those people are totally corrupt or incompetent. With that in mind, here are ten predictions for 2010.

2009 Nearly Ends With a Bang!

As 2009 comes to an end, political correctness and its attendant failures nearly claimed hundreds of innocent lives... Again. Through this near miss, we are served up one more chilling reminder of just how badly terrorists want to kill Americans, the lengths they will go to do so, how close they came to actually succeeding and how truly dangerous and myopic Barack Obama's worldview of Islamic terrorism has become.

2009 ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the Night Before Christmas and all through the Rotunda the DC establishment plotted their plunder.

What a Difference a Year Makes

Before his coronation as King of the Earth and all its human inhabitants, Barack Obama was variously described by his cult of personality and his now semi-flaccid media lapdogs as "The Messiah"; "The One"; "America's first post-racial, post-partisan, post-(pick an adjective) president".
