After the Newtown shootings, Joe Scarborough (who doesn’t have constituents to answer to anymore) became an overzealous gun control advocate. He suddenly back so called “assault weapons” bans, limiting magazine size and of course, extending background checks to gun shows and “online” purchases. Morning Joe has become gun control central for those who are on …
In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, our political leaders will devise policies and proposals to ensure such an atrocity never happens again. One of the things that will be examined is our immigration system. The so-called “Gang of 8″ introduced their immigration reform bill last week. Unbelievably, some of the bill’s proponents are calling for …
We are a nation of immigrants. We have no single ethnic heritage, no single religion, so Americans must be united by recognition that we are all bound by the rule of law. We are also a forgiving nation who does not want to turn away hard-working families away or see them separated. Therefore, we are capable …
The battles for control of the White House in 2016 will not be fought over issues such as abortion and gay marriage, as much as anybody wants to believe otherwise. I wrote earlier that the GOP and conservatives need to adopt, at the very least, an attitude of respect towards gay marriage. But is it an …
My wife and her mother were watching the finale of The Bachelor the other week. I don’t understand this show, but that’s not important. I don’t understand a lot of the things that other people like. This season’s Bachelor made some news by announcing that he was going to wait until marriage to consummate his love for the woman …
Recently there’s been plenty of debate in the party on whether the GOP’s point of view on gay marriage should evolve. Setting aside my own point of view on the topic for a moment, I think that the problem is that the GOP is having a national discussion now instead of back when the issue …
Recent openings, cracks, and rare opportunities have been laid at the feet of the GOP regarding nefarious acts by the Obama White House that are actually being reported by the mainstream media. Reince Priebus made subtle mention of such opportunities in his CPAC speech on March 16, which can be construed as a clarion call …
Obama Media Scrutiny Opportunity For Conservatives To UniteRead More »
It’s hard to think of any other political issue that is as difficult to solve as illegal immigration. Politicians have been trying to “find a solution” for this issue for decades. Yet, we continue to have an insecure border and millions of people are living here illegally. We need to solve this issue not necessarily for political …
The reports from CPAC were horrific or encouraging, depending on your perspective. I did not attend, but I hardly needed to. I had my choice of mainstream media accounts — with their narrative of a rudderless, racist, classist (et cetera ad infinitum ipso facto blah blah) conservative movement — and cheerful, premature dispatches from friendly …
It’s hard to come up with a social issue where politician and popular opinions have changed so drastically just over the last 20 years. Gay marriage, once a fringe issue for those who supported it, is starting to pick up mainstream acceptance and even approval. Currently, same sex marriage is legal in nine states and …
