Over the last four years, the Obama administration has violated nearly every Article of the US Constitution and every Amendment in the Bill of Rights. They have worked to ignite racial tensions, class warfare, religious confrontations and political divisions far worse than those that led to the first American Civil War. Over 70% of Americans oppose ObamaCare… so of course, Obama rammed ObamaCare through in an unprecedented misuse of executive power that shut out the entire legitimate legislative process, as spineless Republicans sat quietly on their hands watching it all happen. The people said “no more deficit spending…and no more...

The expert panel recently assembled by President Obama to investigate the causes of the nation’s worst ever oil spill is being criticized for having virtually no technical background in the field of offshore drilling. According to the Associated Press (AP), only two of the seven appointed commissioners have a background in science, one of whom is an expert in optics and physics, not engineering. The other five panel members have spent the better part of their careers as policymakers. The news source also reports that several of the commissioners have already publicly expressed their discontent with the nation’s current energy...

Relax! It’s always a comforting feeling when the fascists tell you to relax. And that’s what Senator Joe Leiberman (I-Conn.) told everyone to do Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley.

Last week, Lousiana has become the latest state to do so. Following in the footsteps of Virginia, Idaho, Arizona and Georgia, the Louisiana legislature passed House Bill 1474 on June 18, which was modeled after the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act. The new legislation removes the requirement—present in the federal bill—to force individuals to buy or maintain health insurance coverage. "Louisiana [sent] a...

“Birds covered in oil make a great advertisement for renewable energy.” The Financial Times, June 16, 2010. As I watched President Barrack Obama’s Oval Office speech last week—in which he offered up empty buckets of hope—I reflected on the Greens and the crisis their President is muddling through. Like a cop, there never seems to be a Green around when you need one. Certainly the Save-The-Earth Squadron has been noticeably silent on the Gulf oil spill. In fact there hasn’t been a peep from the animal rights activists, even in the face of CNN’s continuous coverage of oil stricken pelicans....
