Here is a nice, lengthy speech by South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint about the National Service Act. The act would require many in my generation to do public service work that the government dictates approves.
Here is a transcript of the speech.
I think that the crucial passage of the speech is the [...]

Here is Dick Morris in a short video about the so called “stimulus” bill and its intentional ineffectiveness.
In the early days of his administration, Obama seemed to have done everything humanly possible to drive down the stock market to even deeper lows, panicking the people. The more panicked the populace is, [...]

The principal criticism of my article in American Thinker has been about the last paragraph:
There is one point on which I respectfully disagree with Pope Benedict: his view that only “strong religious convictions” can provide the morality needed to perfect the world economy. Whether it is God, Karma, or whatever else that informs our moral [...]

I want to thank the editors of American Thinker for publishing my article, My Generation’s Moral Recession, and also thank everyone who commented on it.
Thanks again,

Ralph Peters’s new column gives a great review of Obama’s short time in office and his foreign policy blunders. Obama’s foreign policy is off to a terrible start. There seems to be a pattern of perceived American weakness that leads these smaller nations to manhandle America. And if Obama cuts defense spending, that perceived weakness [...]

Apparently, the media is finally declaring the war in Iraq a success, evident from this Boston Globe article. We’ve long known that the war was going better — much better — but some of these new facts are staggering:
…in the first two months of 2009, 15 US soldiers were killed in action – one-fourth the [...]

This has become the top viewed video in Britain, according to the speaker, Daniel Hannan, on his blog. I can see why. The man is extraordinarily eloquent and, to Americans, anything sounds better (and more credible) when spoken with a British accent.
It’s good to see that there is a vocal opposition [...]

Here is a great summary of the hypocrisy of the Democratic outrage about the AIG bonuses. It’s entirely their fault that this “language”got passed in the so-called “stimulus” bill and now they’re feigning outrage. The Democrats are just trying to cover their tracks. Their only hope is that the mainstream media [...]

According to the New York Times, Obama is seeking to regulate executive compensation, possibly across all banks, not simply for those who take government money. This is nothing more than Marxist class warfare on the rich. I know it stinks that the bailed out are getting bonuses, but Congress passed it in the “stimulus” (that [...]

Former Press Secretary Ari Fleischer fired back at Chris Matthews on a recent interview, refusing to take Chris’s abuse and spin. It is a really excellent video and well worth watching the whole thing.
Robert Gibbs is a joke compared to Fleischer. Gibbs has no class and no right to attack citizens [...]
