Obama to each American family: Lend me another $8,800 without conditions, or you support bomb-toting

I think President Obama is starting to lose it. I'm not talking about his big-spending liberal policies. Those haven't really changed since he took office. But the way he's starting to portray his critics wreaks of a man who has actually lost all confidence in his own policies and can't think of anything to do but lash out at those who keep pointing it out.

ObamaCare overview: Explaining the basics

Do you actually understand the basic facts of ObamaCare? I ask that question not to insult your intelligence, but simply in recognition of the fact that the news media tends to cover the politics of the issue, but doesn't give much attention to the substance. That's a problem because it's one thing to be against government-run health care in the abstract, but when you really know how ObamaCare works, you'll understand why this particular approach is so flawed - and why it has already failed so abysmally.

Four concrete reasons Ted Cruz’s fight matters very much

At its most basic, Ted Cruz’s stand on the Senate floor against ObamaCare is a declaration that we have a right to fight.

HR 2300: Yes, there is a Republican plan to replace ObamaCare

(Editor's note: This is not the first time we've run this piece, but since ObamaCare water carriers keep repeating the nonsense that Republicans have no alternative, we think it bears running again.) ObamaCare continues to come apart at the seams, as the administration announced last week that it is delaying implementation of the odious employer mandate – although not the individual mandate – by one year. The employer mandate is now set to go into effect in 2015, while the individual mandate will still go into effect in 2014 as originally scheduled.

ObamaCare’s redistribution of health and death

Most people and businesses clearly understand, now, how ObamaCare redistributes the cost of health insurance and the cost of health care. It does it with a plethora of rules, taxes and penalties.

USA Today: The IRS is scared of little old . . . Herman Cain?

I don't mean to minimize the threat the IRS poses to liberty. It's huge. They have virtually unchecked power to harass Americans, and that's the direct result of a tax code that seeks to manipulate Americans behavior, thus empowering the IRS to snoop on us and see if we're complying with the manipulation as politicians intend.

Rep. Frank Wolf: CIA suspends employee who refuses to be muzzled about Benghazi

The media and the State Department desperately want us to forget what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, which is why the White House is trying its best to pretend that a State Department "investigation" that merely whitewashed the role of senior officials is the final word on the matter.

White House tells AFL-CIO to stop criticizing ObamaCare - a request that is declined

The AFL-CIO and other unions are getting slapped in the face with reality. ObamaCare, which they loudly championed, is destroying jobs and putting their cushy health benefits in jeopardy. They are not happy about it, and are not being shy about saying so.

Terrific: Putin off to Iran to help get the West off their backs, too

How thoroughly did Vladimir Putin clean Barack Obama's clock on this whole Syria thing? You know it's bad when he starts hearing from other bad actors wanting him to come and and do the same thing for them. And as you might imagine, it didn't take long for the Iranians to come calling.

IRS scandal persists despite media attempts to ignore it

It was only a few months ago that political reporters across the country started cheering that the IRS scandal had “fizzled,” a word that was used by so many of them it became obvious it was established as a media talking point.

Chick-Fil-A hating Chicago alderman now attacking proposed car dealership

Remember last year when Chick-Fil-A wanted to build a new restaurant in Chicago? Chick-Fil-A serves delicious chicken sandwiches and is a good, job-creating corporate citizen, but the proposal did not sit well with Chicago Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno. Because Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is a Christian who opposes gay marriage - consistent with his Christian faith - Moreno went to war against the proposal and Chick-Fil-A decided it wasn't worth the trouble to build in Chicago.

Just a reminder while you’re fixated on Syria: Obama’s economy is horrendous

The most recent recession was supposed to have ended in June 2009 according to the National Bureau of Labor Statistics. When compared to the economic recovery following previous recessions, a normal economy by now would be growing at an annual GDP rate of about 3.5 percent or more.

Feinstein: Sure, my constituents are against the Syria strike, ‘but they don’t know what I know

The Obama Administration can’t seem to get support from just about anyone in its quest to slap Bashar Assad around, but that’s not stopping them from maintaining a smug, arrogant attitude about the situation.

Obama needs to tell us how attacking Syria will improve the situation

I’m glad to see that President Obama will at least seek congressional approval before launching an attack on Syria, although he announced it in a rather disingenuous way – claiming he already has the authority to take action and then trying to sound magnanimous by going ahead and seeking the vote anyway.

Dr. King would be pleased with advances in politics, business; disappointed in education, economy, p

Now that the well-deserved commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have A Dream” speech is past, everyone seems to have an opinion about what Dr. King would think if he were alive to see the state of his dream today.

50 years later, black conservatives fulfill the true legacy of Dr. King

Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. truly spoke for all black people, because we were all unified behind one purpose. That was equal justice and liberty for all, and no one did more to bring it about than Dr. King.

Obama fails to lead by blaming today’s black problems on the legacy of discrimination

One principle of leadership is that the tone is set from the top. When the leader asserts that a problem can be solved, the troops will take on the mindset of solving the problem. When the leader's priority is to assign blame for the problem but not to focus on solutions, blame becomes the rule of the day.

Reflections on the 1963 March on Washington

I had graduated from high school and looking forward to starting at Morehouse College in the fall of 1963 – 50 years ago – when the famous March on Washington was held. I remember seeing the massive crowd of mostly black people on TV cascading from the Lincoln Monument.

Dodd and Frank send the SEC to snoop on what people are paid

The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to start enforcing a rule buried in the Dodd-Frank Act that requires publicly traded companies to disclose the “pay gap” between CEOs and rank and file.

Vote now! Pick-a-Tax-Plan USA is the start of restoring economic growth

It's time to get behind a solution and make it happen. With the launch of the new HermanCain.com, it's time to launch something else too. I always tell you that it's essential to focus on the right problem and bring about a solution, and just about every problem this country faces can be traced to insufficient economic growth.
