A City Suffering From Chronic Poverty, Out-of-control Crime, A $76 Million Budget Deficit And A 15 Percent Unemployment Rate (nearly 50 Percent For Oakland's Youth) Can Hardly Afford Such Social Justice Follies.

During The Summer Of 2009, Conservative Activists Turned Up The Heat On Democratic Politicians To Protest The Innovation-destroying, Liberty-usurping Obamacare Mandate. In The Summer Of 2012, It's Squishy Republican Politicians Who Deserve The Grassroots Flames.

Situational Unawareness In The Private Marketplace Or On The Battlefield Will Cost You Your Livelihood Or Your Life. In The Age Of Obama, However, Such Willful Ignorance Is A Job Prerequisite. The Less You Know The Better.

The Most Dangerous Lechers And Creeps Are Not Drunks Wearing Rags On The Street, But Respectable Men Wearing Hairspray, Pinstripes, And Wedding Rings Who Lurk In The Halls Of Power.

It's Time For A 21st-century Retirement Age. If 40 Is The New 20 And 50 Is The New 30, Why Shouldn't 70 Be The New 65? The Last Time Washington Politicians Tinkered Ever So Gingerly With The Government-sanctioned Retirement Age, Ronald Reagan Was In Office And Generation X-ers Were All In Diapers.

A High-speed Connection Is No More An Essential Civil Right Than 3g Cell Phone Service Or A Netflix Account. Increasing Competition And Restoring Academic Excellence In Abysmal Public Schools Is Far More Of An Imperative To Minority Children Than Handing Them Ipads.

Progressive Feminists Have Shown Nothing But The Most Reflexive, Regressive Contempt For Women On The Other Side Of The Ideological Aisle. It Doesn’t Matter If You’re A Conservative Stay At Home Mom, Work At Home Mom, Or Work Outside The Home Mom. If You’re Right, The Left Is Gonna Hate.

Championing Liberty Begins At The Local Level. There Is Nothing More Fundamental Than The Principle That A Man's Home Is His Castle. Donald Trump's Career-long Willingness To Trample This Right Tells You Everything You Need To Know About His Bogus Tea Party Sideshow.

The Current Health Care Takeover Proposals Feature A Crucial Payoff To Big Labor - A Golden Exemption From Any Tax On Union Members' Generous Health Care Benefits.

Who Needs Enemies When You've Got Republican Surrenderists For Obamacare Waiting In The Wings?

History Has Shown Us That 'get Things Done' Is Mindless Liberal Code For Passing Ineffective Legislation And Expanding Government For Government's Sake.

The Deal Looks Bad And Smells Worse.

The Newspaper Is Under Fire For Refusing To Kowtow To Left-wing Word Police And Militant Propagandists Who Demand Unfettered Illegal Immigration. Last Week, In The Wake Of Angry Protests Against The Publication, Vandals Threw Paint Bombs And Spray-painted Graffiti On Its Offices.

In Case Anyone Needs Reminding, It Was The Relentless Drive Of The Tourism Industry And Kowtowing State Department Bureaucrats That Led To The Bush-era Visa Express Program, Which Relaxed Visa Policies, Eliminated In-person Consulate Interviews And Opened The Door To The 9/11 Hijackers.

Official Motto Of The White House Economic Team: Those Who Can, Do. Those Who Can't, Fantasize In The Classroom, Fail In Washington And Then Return To The Ivy Tower To Train The Next Generation Of Egghead Economic Saboteurs. Life Is Good For Left-wing Academics. Everyone Else Pays Dearly.

If You Aren't Creeped Out By The No Birth Control Left Behind Rhetoric Of The White House And Planned Parenthood, You Aren't Listening Closely Enough. The Anesthetic Of Progressive Benevolence Always Dulls The Senses. Wake Up.

9/11 Was A Deliberate, Carefully Planned Evil Act Of The Long-waged War On The West By Koran-inspired Soldiers Of Allah Around The World. They Hated Us Before George W. Bush Was In Office.

In Civilized Societies, If You Are Offended By A Cartoon, You Do Not Burn Flags, Take Up Guns And Raid Buildings, Chant Death To Your Opponents, Or Threaten Suicide Bombings. You Write A Letter To The Editor.

Bean-counting Government Bureaucrats Are Free To Take Race, Ethnicity And Gender Into Account When Doling Out Public Funds To Non-white-male Contractors.

Raising The Traditional And Early Retirement Ages Will Mean Extending Workers' Taxable Earning Years, Fueling Economic Growth And Putting A Dent In Our Unfunded-liabilities Crisis By Delaying Payouts.

Try Walking The Halls Of Congress. It's Abercrombie & Fitch Meets The Hair Club For Men. Lots Of Really Photogenic Young People Kissing Up To Lots Of Insufferable Blowhards.

The Closest They've Ever Come To Meeting A Payroll Is When They Come Together To Spend Everyone Else's Payroll Taxes.

It's Not Just That Miers Has Zero Judicial Experience. It's That She's So Transparently A Crony/"diversity" Pick While So Many Other Vastly More Qualified And Impressive Candidates Went To Waste. If This Is President Bush's Bright Idea To Buck Up His Sagging Popularity--among Conservatives As Well As The Nation At Large--one Wonders Whom He Would Have Picked In Rosier Times. Shudder.

Within Two Weeks Of Moving Into The White House, Obama Signed A Series Of Executive Orders Championed By Union Bosses. The New Rules Authorized Sweeping Powers For The Labor Secretary That Essentially Blackball Nonunion Contractors Targeted By Labor Organizers And Blacklist Nonunion Employees In The Private Sector From Working On Taxpayer-funded Projects.

In The 1970s, 'the Boys On The Bus' Exposed How A Clubby Pack Of Male Political Reporters Ruled The Road To The White House And Shaped The News. Four Decades Later, An Outsider Gal From Alaska Has Commandeered The 2012 Media Bus - And Left Beltway Journalism Insiders Eating Her Dust.

Acorn, You May Recall, Is The Left-wing Activist Group With Longtime Ties To Community Organizer-turned-president Barack Obama. The Nonprofit, Which Now Takes In 40 Percent Of Its Revenues From American Taxpayers After Four Decades On The Public Teat, Has A History Of Engaging In Voter Fraud, Corporate Shakedowns, Partisan Bullying And Pro-illegal Immigration Lobbying. The Democrats' Stimulus Proposals Could Make The Group - And Its Lesser Known But Even More Radical Ideological Allies - Eligible For Upward Of $5 Billion In New Public Cash.

At A Time When Democratic Leaders Are Pushing Rationed Care In A World Of Limited Resources, Americans Might Wonder Where The Call For Shared Sacrifice Is From Illegal Immigrant Patients Like Those In Los Angeles Getting Free Liver And Kidney Transplants At Ucla Medical Center.

When Bureaucrats Talk About Increasing Our 'access' To X, Y Or Z, What They're Really Talking About Is Increasing Exponentially Their Control Over Our Lives. As It Is With The Government Health Care Takeover, So It Is With The Newly Approved Government Plan To 'increase' Internet 'access.'

Internet Access

Those Of Us And So Many Other Stalwart Critics And Opponents And Questioners And Dissidents In Conservative Media Were Attacked For Doing What Those People In The Mainstream Media Should Have Been Doing.
