No Impeachment for Obamnesty (Three Lessons)

President Obama is one of the most lawless, corrupt, and heedlessly arrogant executives in this country's political history. Perhaps he tops the list. President Obama does not listen to anyone, according to internal reports within the White House as well as prior accounts during his university professor years. He is committed to a fundamental transformation of the United States, regardless of anyone's opinions about it. Such is the case for all under the tutelage of Saul Alinsky.

The Biggest Losers of Election 2014

After reviewing the huge Republican wins, I want to focus on the Biggest Losers of Election Day 2014. Despite conservative fears that law-abiding, God-fearing Americans were losing the culture war, that the supposedly inexhaustible cache of Democratic campaign cash would overwhelm strong yet under-funded challengers, Republicans won unprecedented electoral victories: House, Senate, legislatures and governorships.

Anti-Tribute to Attorney General Eric Holder

Attorney General Eric Holder has announced his resignation, and he will step down as soon as a successor is appointed to replace him. What took so long? President George W. Bush suffered through three attorneys general, the first resigning for health reasons, followed by the second because of conflicts of interest and failures relating to the termination of US Attorneys, and the third because of the end of the Bush Administration.

William Hutt: Unsung Union Critic

William Hutt, an Englishman who taught in South Africa and Dallas Texas, was one of the most profound thinkers in free market economics. Sadly, even in his lifetime, particular on the origins and impacts of labor unions. Despite his long, lettered academic tenure, Hutt acknowledged the neglect of his research, a bitter irony defined by witnessing the irrelevancy of his research, while most academics fell into neglect after their deaths.
