This is in response to Bret Stephens’ May 7th editorial in the Wall Street Journal, entitled To the Class of 2012.  Attention Graduates: Tone down your egos, shape up your minds Mr. Stephens: As a relatively recent college graduate (2007), I was disappointed to read your blanket attack on the Class of 2012.  While your anecdotes may serve as evidence to confirm the suspicions of those who feel a palpable decline in educational standards, the tone and presumptuous condescension of your missive... Read More→

Not according to Navy SEAL Chris Kyle: In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe. If I may confess a little ignorance here… I was under the impression that Obama had actually killed Osama bin Laden himself.  With... Read More→

In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other. ... Read More→

I received a stream of consciousness note from a friend of mine.  He is a Cuban refugee who left Cuba shortly after Castro and his lapdog “Che” overthrew Batista, having witnessed the murderous barbarity of the rebellion in his own neighborhood.  The past three years of Obama rule have reminded him of the tumult prior to the so-called “revolucion” en Cuba.  It’s easy for Americans to forget how good we’ve have it, and dangerous to remain oblivious on how quickly... Read More→

“‘When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals.’ And he said, ‘There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.’” Ronald Reagan, quoting Winston Churchill, 1964 April 29, 1775. April 12, 1861. July 28, 1914. These dates are memorized by school children as signifying the apparent outbreak of three major wars. Yet to merely know the date that hostilities began is not to understand... Read More→

Have you soon the conservative books of late?  Here are some of their titles: Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?, After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America.  Not the cheeriest of predictions, even by political standards.  But Pat Buchanan, Mark Steyn, and Mark Levin, the authors of each of these books respectively, have compelling reasons for their dour assessment of contemporary America.  Unlike other challenging periods in modern American... Read More→

Does every week bring a new crisis with this administration? Obama and his nannies have now managed to get the full attention of the Catholic Church, after decreeing that Catholic institutions such as hospitals, schools, and universities must provide birth control, including contraceptives and abortions, for employees. Secretary Sebelius at Health and Human Services issued the decree, citing authority under Obamacare.  The administration, despite public outrage, has robustly defended the measure,... Read More→

Reading Ms. Coulter’s column today I can’t help but think of another “Republican” who contorts logic and the traditional understanding of words to make the case for squishes, David Frum. Take, for example, this ridiculous paragraph: To act as if Obamacare is the same thing as “Romneycare” is just a word game, on the order of acting like a “gun” has the same properties as a “gunny sack,” or “fire” is the same thing as a “firefly.” Question:... Read More→
