Democrats advocate Game Show Government. "Vote for us, and we'll give away cash and prizes. We'll send you a check!" Now our checks are no good because our account is overdrawn. More

One of the most foolish ventures ever conceived is unraveling now. It would be a joke if it weren't tragic. More

No one can say that Germany elevated to a first-among-equals status in Europe is the opening of a Pandora's Box, but it may be. It most certainly would set Europe on the road toward German hegemony. More

He is the king of flip-flops, the emperor of hypocrisy, the czar of opinions a mile wide and an inch deep. Mitt Romney? Not by a long shot. More

"It takes a village to raise a child," as noted and self-proclaimed progressive Hillary Clinton advocates, and according to this mindset, the "village" should have not only the right, but the duty to save the child from irresponsible parents' hands. More

In a very real way, his comment puts the entire presidency of Barack Obama into context. More

Barack Obama is a dream. In 2008, the dream was hope and change. In 2012, it will be progress, thwarted by evil partisans and selfish greed. More

Whenever two or more groups have completely disparate belief systems, perhaps compromise is not wise. There may need to be a "winner" and a "loser." More

Every athlete knows that in times of adversity, one must work through the pain. But when Obama runs up against adversity, he simply changes course. More

Marx famously wrote that history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. He forgot to add: the third time as reality show. More

Some of the most outspoken critics of the "income disparity" that exists within the free-market capitalist system can be found in Hollywood. More

Cult-like. Brainwashed. Victims of mind control. Such are the descriptions given of the three thousand-plus residents of Camp Ashraf, where marriages have been banned and male members have been ordered to suppress their attraction to women. More

Things don't look promising for the perennial climate confab which convenes in Durban, South Africa today. More

President Obama and his advisers seriously misread the effect of the delay of the Keystone XL pipeline. The alternative Northern Gateway pipeline is not a dream, but close to a reality which can ship oil to China and expand the use of BC Natural Gas. More

Shilling for Dems desperate to pass off the hot potato known as Fast and Furious to the nearest Republican, Congresswoman Maloney (D-NY) piles lies on top of propaganda. More

When teenagers reveal that they had sexual experiences before age 13, shouldn't every effort be made to find out something about their sex partners? That concern is missing from recent reports about the "risky behavior" of teens who call themselves homosexual. More

In Nikos Kazanzakis' Zorba the Greek we see both Kazanzakis' disdain for capitalists and a description of the Greek ethos which is proving that country's economic downfall More

A few weeks ago, our Irish Water Spaniel was just another young dog. Now he is one of the top Irish Water Spaniels (IWS) in the world. Here's how it happened. More

Those "anarchists" were not Occupying anything but your mind. That was their purpose: to Occupy our minds for 24 hours at a time. Distraction occupies your mind. It's just old-fashioned stage magic. More

Tim Tebow is really annoying to certain people in a Sarah Palin sort of way. More

Wishing and hoping for peace and prosperity will not compensate for the abiding hatred the Palestinian people have for Israel. More

Nature and philosophical existentialism were used by Nietzsche to disguise his hatred for Christianity. More

Two recent stories highlight the Obama Regime's Green religious crusade on energy policy. More

Possible Al Qaeda links to terror group in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, and a major and growing oil exporter to the US. More

Just an excuse for the only tool the Federal Reserve has in its monetary belt: inflation. More

Even with the best of intentions, if minimum wage laws harm those at the bottom, we should discard them. More

He is 6'8" tall, so he could play basketball. In fact, he can play basketball -- whenever he wants; he owns the NBA's New Jersey Nets. He became a billionaire at the age of 28. He is not American, but Russian. More

The media is setting us up. They're lying to us. The lie is this: we must have a perfect candidate to defeat Barack Obama in 2012. More

The ideas that federal spending exploded under George W. Bush, that "Bush's wars" account for our spending explosion, that Reaganism died with Reagan, and that we are on a spending binge that started decades ago are all nonsense. More

How do prospects look for Republicans in 2012 and beyond? So far, the tea leaves are encouraging. More

I would like to offer my family and others a little "Conservatism 101." Let us begin with a parable. More

In order for a "jump start" to work in a car, the other systems of the car have to be working properly. The engine has to run, and the alternator has to recharge the battery, or the car will simply quit again. More

The energy policies of the Obama administration have made America less safe and have significantly contributed to our nation's high unemployment rate and lackluster economic growth. More

College textbook authors (some of the best-known American historians in the country), if they don't think America has done more harm than good, are more than willing to suppress evidence to the contrary. More

In large part, the first Thanksgiving Day, which was celebrated in 1623, was a celebration of the abundance arising from the pursuit of individualism and incentives associated with free markets, amazing as that may seem. More

Over the past several months, the NAACP once again has launched a campaign against the Confederate Battle Flag. More

The overt and devout references to God in Washington's Thanksgiving proclamation would likely bring sharp ridicule on a modern politician, but it's easy to see why he and his fellow patriots would feel grateful. More

Without it, the perfected vision of today's liberal elites, the virgin undisturbed garden, would have been America's destiny. Today, it could not be built. More

Liberals are rolling in the aisles watching the Republican Party implode over what are ultimately inconsequential differences around illegal immigration More

We are just weeks from the moment when every tyro realizes what the best strategic minds already know: that Obama's class warfare strategy is going to make things worse -- for Democrats. More

Unleashing forces of hate, making it personal, unions roll out heavy artillery in their all-out war against their declared enemy, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. More

The process of selecting a Republican presidential candidate to oppose President Obama resembles a combination of American Idol and Whack-a-Mole. More

They share an odd understanding that the United States is, by nature and by history, a cause of tension in the world, and that others need reassurance that the U.S. means no harm. More

Whatever reptilian qualities he has, Newt is no gecko. Since the beginning of his career he has held steady positions on taxes, government spending, foreign policy, abortion, gun control, and social issues. More

At least, not when it's the wrong kind of diversity. More

President Obama had a direct hand in unseating a foreign leader who was behaving himself in diplomatic terms and was acting in harmony with the business and political interests of the United States. Why? More

Iran is well on its way to developing nuclear weapons. Years of sanctions have not stopped them, and now President Obama will not use his most effective tool short of acts of war. More

These days on America's campuses, where they ought to be sending in some adults, they are instead sending in the clowns. More

Democrats are gambling their party's future that most Americans care more about their own government benefits than they do about the nation's future security and prosperity. More

Rick Perry is woefully unfit to be president of the United States because he is a tool of Grover Norquist, the man who may be more responsible than anyone else for enabling Muslim Brotherhood access to the highest levels of power in the U.S. More

The important thing to remember is that pepper spray is almost universally safe. There are no lasting effects, and it does no permanent physical damage More

Much is made of Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites. But those sites are useless if the Iranians can't get to them. Therefore, it may not be necessary to destroy the sites, but merely to seal the entrances. More

I'll give you a big dump truck full of cash to dump in the Potomac River. Think you could dump cash at the rate the government spends it? More

The United States finds itself at a crossroads, facing a stark reality it can no longer ignore or leave to future generations. We are presently on an irreversible path toward inevitable failure and second-class status. More

Did you know that the turkey you're going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it's a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is -- whether you like it or not. I More

I was programmed at birth to be a Democrat, a big city liberal. The Democratic Party was a rain maker, an employment office, and a pot hole fixer. There were no obvious reasons to question the civic monoculture -- or not to be a true believer. More

Debunking one of Al Gore's more ridiculous claims regarding humans' effect on the demise of animal species. More

Under the guise of addressing the debt crisis, President Obama is leaving America exposed to multi-pronged attack by myriad hostile powers. More

Veterans of left-wing organizing, including former Obama administration czar Van Jones, are urging the fledgling OWS movement to run candidates for office, following the Tea Party model. They are delusional. More

As a former radical myself, I recognized the code words that the Catholic Campaign for Human Development uses to dupe well-meaning Christians into supporting radical causes. More

Currently, a large number of Iranians are completely fed up with Islam and they want to leave this dogma of hate and violence. In fact, many already have, but they simply aren't able to come forward and announce it, for obvious reasons. More

The mistaken belief that conservatives consider markets themselves forces of morality has found its way out of leftist circles and into what is left of a once-great Republican Party. More

Our counter-jihad strategy must include the world's moderate Muslims, who actually do exist in large numbers. More

In an election year, farm-state legislators would like to avoid a public debate on farm subsidies, one of America's most senseless, profligate relics of FDR's New Deal. More

Religion has often served as a powerful civil-society institution for liberty and justice. It could well be used to save the wretched in North Korea. More

Curiosity is one of God's greatest attributes and one of humanity's coolest characteristics. More

It's clear that there is silent panic in Jordan's royal household. More

The commenters at my previous article provided 75 separate defenses for sexual predators. More

Isn't it about time for a moratorium on "green" technology development, especially at taxpayer expense? More

Why "making homes affordable" doesn't, and the unintended consequence of the latest federal boondoggle. More

Taxpayers may be covered by the same statutory tax rate, but it's what they pay that matters. More

Conservative economic thinkers have gotten ourselves into a bungle by playing on the liberals' playing field. We have accepted that government goods are to be valued for each of us individually as a function of our income. More

Russia is set to experience a debilitating demographic crisis. Its population will sicken and drop by one-third, and its dominant Slavic-Orthodox population will dwindle and be surpassed by its Islamic faction. More

Socialists have learned that not only can they live side-by-side with capitalism, but they are dependent on it as the wealth generator to fund...well, socialism! More

A book about courage and hope marred by politics. More

Yes, insider trading prohibition is irrational -- but insider trading in Congress is a different story. More

For some time now, many conservatives have thought that President Obama is the Second Coming of Jimmy Carter. Maybe they should be thinking about the election of 1996 instead. More

In January of 2013, a deeply flawed human being will take the oath of office as president of the United States. More

A tragic and Kafkaesque miscarriage of justice in central Texas grows more intriguing by the day, with one stunning development after another generating new headlines. More

The only inexhaustible energy source on earth is human gullibility. The European Union is completely run by it. More

Alinsky would be proud. More

The Occupy Wall Street protesters have prided themselves on being hard to pin down. More

This is about the tenor of the times. At age 51, I have been around long enough to know the difference between unease and unrest. I am very concerned about the potential for violence coming from the seed of Occupy. More

If you want to destroy someone's property, simply organize a left-wing political rally. Then you can bring your rocks and rebar and smash away without serious consequences. More

Admit it: you were giving Newt a second look long before you dared say so out loud or post it on a message board. More

The Battleground Poll has injected some killer leftist bias into its polling questions, but not even this can tamp down news of the conservative majority in America. More

The sexual abuse scandal at Penn State gives us a glimpse into power -- the power with which universities arrogantly operate and how they consider themselves to be islands quarantined from the legal and moral concerns of the larger society. More

There's quite a buzz surrounding the release of warming results from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project. The reaction of the "warmistas" has been jubilant, yet hilariously wrong. More

It could be that Germany will once again find herself at the top of a reconfigured European hierarchy if it chooses not to go the way of Europe, but instead the way of Germany. More

Obama is forcing the Middle East to go nuclear precisely by his "peace" policies. Obama Peace-Bringer inevitably turns into Obama War-Monger. More

One Friday afternoon, my son said he had been invited with four or five other kids his age to spend the night with their coach and mentor. The plan was to go bowling and return to the coach's home to watch movies. I said no. More

Does the forced removal of the occupiers implicate First Amendment rights? The answer to that question requires analyzing the interplay between content and conduct. More

What debt solutions can we expect from the Democrats on the much-ballyhooed Super Committee? Namely, the same old policies from the Democratic playbook: massive tax hikes and defense cuts. More

Is Mitt Romney the right man for right now? More

Last week in Arizona, a leading Republican foe of illegal immigration was recalled, in an election certain to be touted by the left in 2012 as evidence of the unpopularity of immigration enforcement. More

After all, if we make a circus out of the process, and the candidates submit like trained seals, how can we respect their leadership abilities? More

Partisan and non-partisan, high and low, domestic and international -- Obama feels entitled to insult a broad swath of people. More

There's plenty of fight left in the white working class. In Ohio last week it decisively defeated the Republican plan to curb government union power. Pity it doesn't make any difference. More

A recent census report disclosed that the wealth gap between seniors and younger Americans is at an all-time high. More

As it turns out, there is no small measure of self-identified "libertarians" who populate the ranks of the Wall Street "occupiers." In participating in OWS, libertarians actually undercut their own deepest convictions. More

Back in the 1990s, a publication no one had ever heard of, Asia Times, began to run a column written by someone calling himself "Spengler." Now, writing under his real name, he has published two books simultaneously. More

A frantic attempt at damage control over its own plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington grips as Iran prepares its nuclear weapons. More

Proponents of Executive Privilege in the Solyndra affair are expanding a limited doctrine not expressed in the Constitution into a rule of law protecting crony capitalism and potential lawbreaking. More

When I was a young naive college freshman, I caught a bad cold and visited my college infirmary. The physician was an extremely handsome man who touched me inappropriately. More

All over the world, regions stand where nations once stood. The world is on the cusp of a revolution in political arrangements, as the citizens of the world are losing control with hardly a word spoken. More

Resistance to vouchers is surprisingly strong among wealthy, white suburban parents. A new study demonstrates how badly even lavishly funded suburban school districts are failing their students. More

The politicization of the farmers' market is typical of the big government mentality that assumes that things work better when an outsider with superior understanding takes charge -- for a small fee, of course. More

As Washington's Iran policy is in shambles, Americans should not forget the inside the Beltway pressure from the "Iran Lobby" advocates, including the support for their activities from Republican activist Grover Norquist. More

Obama may not create a classless society, but he sure has created a classless administration. In better times, the miscreants would fall on their swords, slit their wrists in hot baths or be displayed hanging from gibbets on town walls. More

On the surface, I suppose it does sound incredible: they created a monument to honor an influential Baptist minister and they omitted any reference to God or Jesus in the featured quotations throughout the memorial. More

There is an illegal occupation that has gone on for decades in the Middle East, and it's not being enforced by the IDF. More

The "National Pledge for Unity on Israel," which the ADL cosponsored with the American Jewish Committee, is but the most recent example of how this organization has lost touch with the very reason for its existence. More

The odds of President Obama being re-elected are much higher than the odds of him being elected in 2008. Don't take anything for granted, because this battle won't be easy. More

What goes up must come down. But Newt Gingrich may just add his own twist to the law of physics. More

The cesspool of big time college athletics spilled over this past week on the campus of Penn State University. It would be too easy, and mistaken, to assign this abject abomination to Penn State alone. More

The very essence of the Occupation qua Occupation is coercive. It calls for squatting on public property and forcibly taking it over for the exclusive use of the Occupiers. Squatters readily admit they intend to stay forever, take control of the means of production, and Occupy Everything. More

This is a common theme amongst two sets of people supporting the Palestinian cause: those with unmistakable animus toward Israel and Jews and others just misinformed by consistent, unremitting propaganda. More

Who cares enough to shout out for these innocent people, who will otherwise be imprisoned, tortured, and likely executed by the Islamic terrorists in Iran? More

A professor at Kent State cries, "Death to Israel!" -- and the president of the American Association of University Professors condones the outburst. Where have we gone wrong? More

The possibility that Muslim-only towns and urban enclaves could be created in the U.S. seems unimaginable to most Americans, but it already is a reality. More

More

A greater organ supply would inevitably mean that many premature deaths could be avoided and that many more lives could be saved. But there are problems getting there. More

Instead of a story about sexual predation and a cover-up by government employees, this became a story about hypocrisy -- a particular obsession of the U.S. media in recent years. More

Actually, I think Gov. Perry should be glad. What we're seeing in these gong shows is a most unseemly bidding contest. "I'll abolish three agencies." "I'll see your three and raise you two agencies." I can abolish faster than you can. More

The fatal blow to the campaign has been made. Whether he knows it or not, Herman Cain's campaign is over. I would be overjoyed to be wrong. More

A vast chasm separates those who value freedom and reason from those who live only by emotions, unfettered by morality or reality. More

Does "guerrilla conservatism" sound bad? It should not: it is the very foundation of our republic. More

In another ham-fisted mess, the administration of the Big Ten Conference decided some time ago to call the winner's trophy for the inaugural championship game in Indianapolis later this year the Stagg-Paterno Trophy. More

The undercard is not a throwaway. The Vice Presidential position is key for the GOP. More

Nobody knows at present exactly what happened at Penn State -- but it would come as no surprise if a major university, when informed it had the makings of a scandal affecting its campus, decided to cover the matter up rather than report everything. More

In the last elections in the Palestinian Authority, Hamas won, but Palestinian leaders like Mahmoud Abbas did not step down. If elections are held again in the spring, and Hamas wins again, what is likely to happen on the ground? More

Presidents Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy were caught on tape telling us what they really think of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. More

A Van Jones protege, Jakada Imani, was sworn in as the newest member of the Oakland Port Board of Commissioners a mere twelve days before Occupy Oakland protesters marched to the Port of Oakland and "effectively shut down" our fifth largest port More

Many blacks erroneously believe the GOP consists of rich racist white people. In reality, the GOP was founded to free blacks. More

After facing defeat in Ohio, conservatives must not give up hope in implementing positive change. Conservatives should take a page out of the Democrats' handbook. More

This has been a rough few weeks for the Democratic narrative about what's wrong with America going into the 2012 election cycle. Basically, they've just been mugged by reality. More

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is demonstrating an appalling ignorance on the Iranian nuclear issue and the threat it poses to world security. More

When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced last month that Walid Phares would be a special adviser on the Middle East and North Africa, it elicited howls of fury from the usual suspects. More

How can that one man ever live up to such enormous sacrifice made for his life? How can any of us? More

Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno and Kansas City bishop Robert Finn share a fate they would not wish on their worst enemies: both stand accused of not reporting the sexual exploitation of children in their respective bailiwicks. More

Jeremiah Wright's longtime congregant Barack Obama wants to tell you what God desires for America. More

Rick Perry gave a superb speech to NH Cornerstone, a New Hampshire conservative group. How did the left-leaning media react? As could perhaps be anticipated, with ridicule and mockery. More

Far too often, whenever one of "ours" is targeted by the liberal media and the left, conservatives immediately run for the tall grass to distance themselves. More

One wonders if Sarkozy would gush over a Republican president in the same way he gushes over Mr. Obama. By January 2013, Sarkozy might be occupying a cell in the Bastille, thereby dampening his enthusiasms. More

The announcement by President Obama to pull the last of the troops out of Iraq leaves us with many questions. Chief among them: are we leaving in victory? More

The "general consensus" that permanent peace in the Middle East requires the creation of an independent Palestinian state is a dangerous delusion that can lead nowhere but to terrorism, violence, and war. More

There is something wrong if women do not understand that men are men no matter what their profession. Men like women, and it is usually not because they need a new friend. More

History will not be kind to Obama for his siding with evil and brutally aggressive oppression over freedom. More

A friend who knew that I saw a press screening of director Clint Eastwood's heavily promoted new movie J. Edgar asked if it was worth seeing or politically skewed. I answered, "Both, unfortunately." More

If the goal of the new movie J. Edgar was to tear down J. Edgar Hoover, the filmmakers did a good job. The film portrayed him in an unfavorable light, not as the person once considered a hero. More

Two new developments in education can give conservatives hope -- although we still have a lot of work to do. More

While we may be getting beyond what the Occupiers' pot-addled brains can manage, let us now ask this question: are the wealthiest 1% and the most powerful 1% the same? The short answer is that they are not, and that can be proven quantifiably. More

There are many on the Euroskeptic right who can see a silver lining to a potential breakdown of the European Union as we now know it. More

When information conflicts with the truth as the Obama team defines it, inconvenient facts are spun, obscured, or sealed. Often important data is never collected or produced at all. More

One of America's top generals in Afghanistan was fired last Friday for making "inappropriate public remarks." Everything General Fuller said that got him fired is true and needs to be understood by the public and by the media. More

He entertained at any one time a jumble of opinions that had not a whit of innovation or integration about them. He was as blind to the organic simplicity of conservatism as he was to the messy inefficiency of liberalism More

We have the ability to help Iranians rid themselves from this jihadist regime, but if we fail to do so, you can be assured that there will be war -- and it won't be on our terms. More

A guide for young people. More

It's no longer just the Great Recession. Now the experts are talking about the "Great Restructuring" of the economy. Here's how the narrative goes. More

My dirty secret is that I'm a member of the Sierra Club. More

After anonymously stoking the story for good reason or not, which may have been done in violation of the confidentiality requirements of the nondisclosure agreement, it is curious that the Cain accuser now sees "no value in revisiting this matter." More

We'll find out very soon whether Obama can control his own crazies. So far it looks like they can't stop that self-destructive tic. This is simply who they are. More

To the casual observer, it may have looked like Mr. Cain held his own. But Mr. Cain spent the night speaking in abstractions, framing every conversation around his pizza business. More

It is widely held that Barack Obama Sr., goat herder from Kenya, is the father of President Obama. We now know that this contention is probably false. More

With the presidential election dominating the headlines, it's easy to lose track of the other significant political contests. More

Gradually, more and more of what Americans earn goes to support an underclass that is becoming an oppressive majority. For progressives, this is what is meant by "fairness." More

How does the professionalism of our mainstream media compare to that of the mother of all media lunacies, the Soviet Union? More

Newt is the conservative with the ability to beat Obama and hit the ground running on day one, executive orders and legislation ready to roll. More

What would motivate someone to take a most gorgeous Saturday in perfect-degree weather and idyllic surroundings and spoil it? More

Those who discount the anti-Cain hype have history on their side. More

Green energy is little more than a way for President Obama to dole out federal dollars to his favorite firms at the expense of coal, oil, and natural gas producers. More

In effect, our judicial system is failing to adhere to the very beliefs on which this country was founded. More

Whatever Cain may or may not be, inexperience is not his problem. In fact, I'm going to shock you. It never was Obama's, either. More

The Palestinians' leaders inhabit a land of their imagination, no less fanciful than Oz, Wonderland, or Shangri-La. And they're plundering Jewish and Christian history to do it. More

"I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. Throughout the day I'm constantly asking myself questions about what I'm doing, why I am doing it." --Barack Obama More

There is no simple action, Israeli or otherwise, that will "take out" the Iranian nuclear capability. There is no "Osirak option." Watch the ground, not the skies. More

The greater good has come to replace immutable legal principles and even truth as the goal of our judicial processes. More

After all, nothing we've done so far is working... More

While I would agree that, given present world conditions, it appears more likely than not that President Obama will be defeated next year, there is still a plausible path by which he might yet win. More

The producer of TV's True Blood and Six Feet Under is scheduled to serve as executive producer of a one-hour HBO drama, Wichita, about the life of the late abortionist, George Tiller. More

The election will be a referendum for the American people, and it won't be about jobs, even though that will be the rhetoric. It will be about whether we want capitalism to be the driving force of our economic engine. More

"Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you're only going to hurt yourselves. What's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We're going to take yours." More

The part of Cain's 9-9-9 plan that's causing the most discontent among conservatives may not be necessary at all. More

I wish to thank Herman Cain for his courageous decision to run for president as a conservative Republican. More

America's problem is not that Americans do not have liberty and rights, but rather that they cannot with any serious consensus define what liberty and rights are. More

The plot to redistrict Democrats into a majority of the Arizona congressional delegation has been foiled. More

We were too busy partying, going to rock concerts, following sports, and generally trying to prolong our childhoods to notice, or care. More

America's foreign policy is clearly not working. Here is how to fix it. More

One writer has argued that "our founders would...be standing on the front lines of the Occupy Wall Street movement...were they around today." More

Keynesian focus on aggregate demand misses the big picture. Those who hold it truly believe that government spending on anything creates wealth. More

A friend of mine is employed by a public elementary school in Santa Cruz, California. In the teacher's lounge he found some troubling materials stacked on a table dedicated to the California Teachers Association. "Considering Democracy in Occupy Wall Street," was the title More

In the U.S., we exist in a curious state of denial. We acknowledge the inferiority of socialism, but continue to become more and more socialistic. More

Let's peer into a crystal ball. What's the top issue a year from now, at the time of next November's national election? Here's what it won't be: allegations of sexual harassment against Herman Cain. More

I kind of like Herman Cain's response to the media thugs. Cain isn't playing their game. I hope he checkmates them, move after move. Never play by their rules. Always set your own rules or they will kill you. More

How sad that the question even can be asked. More

Since his appointment as a special adviser on the Middle East by presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Dr. Walid Phares has come under a concerted vicious attack discrediting his expertise and maligning his reputation. More

Rumors are flying around the Middle East as reporters anticipate an imminent strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, but Turkey may be crippling Israel's ability to detect incoming missiles. More

Barack Obama, whether in economic matters, domestic affairs or international relations, has been an abject failure and has severely jeopardized the future of the American people. More

Herman Cain's very way of being contradicts all the incredibly dumb ideas the Left takes for granted. In therapeutic terms, Herman Cain "falsifies their pathological beliefs." More

Herman Cain supporters have accepted his narrative that he is an American success story. Is it really the Horatio Alger story we are led to believe? More

To believe that Cain's role as CEO of a corporation qualifies him to be POTUS is wishful thinking. More

Mr. Cain is facing accusations that were not backed up by evidence. Should he lose his chance to reach the highest office in the land because of unsubstantiated statements? If he does, no man is safe. More

If you are a conservative and a minority, watch out. Liberals and the liberal media are out to get you. Just ask Herman Cain. We've seen it before. And Americans are sick and tired of it. More

Nowhere is the déjà vu in our national story more apparent than with the Free Speech Movement and the anti-Viet Nam War protests of the 1960s and '70s and how they relate to the current "Occupy Everything" movement. More

Bad-mouthing Romney is like saying Ronald Reagan was a failure because he didn't colonize China. Romney is a conservative who will work well with a GOP Congress. His flipflopedness is both on purpose and irrelevant. Time to get off his back. More
