The Palin Factor: Even Republican Elites Don't Get It

Ruby Slipper Immigrants

President Obama's immigration speech was another stirring example of post-adolescent speech-writing elevated to acceptability by a fawning press, a skilled delivery and a melodious voice.  It was classic Obama, self-referential and full of ideal...

By the Book: How Democracies Perish

The Alchemy of Democrat Cover-ups

May Posterity Forget You Were Our Countrymen

There is something about D.C. that saps the will and dulls the intellect of conservatives. Prolonged exposure makes them fretful and risk-averse, even timid with controversial issues. Rather than standing on the fundamental values that define America...

The Prince of Thieves

The era of Obama-inspired bi-partisan goodwill was very brief. As with all his carefully choreographed pandering, it was in large measure a rhetorical tool. In the language of average Americans a "rhetorical tool" equates to a lie, a lie to...
