One startling outcome of the recent outbreak in hostilities between the Hamas-run government in Gaza and Israel is that it renders void an ancient paradigm. In a recent Op Ed, Michael Oren, Israel’s Ambassador to the US reflected that, in war, it has been long held: a potent offense will eventually overwhelm even the most [...]
Mr. Speaker, understand that Barack Obama is not just attempting to “fundamentally transform” the country from a capitalist country to a welfare-state where the left never loses elections. He is also attempting to destroy the Republican brand. So perish the thought that he has any intention of negotiating with you in good faith. He expects [...]
Despite American objections, 138 countries including many of our supposedly closest European allies, voted in the UN to recognize the Palestinian territories as a “non-member observer state,” the same status accorded the Vatican. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded by saying: "Israel is prepared to live in peace with a Palestinian state, but [...]
Obama’s infantile pronouncements on our economy and the oncoming “fiscal cliff” would be laughable if they were not so terrifying. Tuesday, November 27, in the Wall Street Journal, Chris Cox and Bill Archer reported that the official national debt of $16 trillion only hints at the size of our problem. The net present value of [...]
Just in case you were laboring under the delusion that the Democrat Party will be a legitimate partner in these negotiations aimed at avoiding national bankruptcy, consider that Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat from Illinois actually said: “Social Security is off the table because it doesn’t contribute a dime to the debt.” Are we to believe [...]
Despite the announcement of a cease fire, an indisputable outcome of our recent presidential election is that a slim majority of Americans have effectively told Israel, “You’re on your own.” The Obama voters issued knowingly or unknowingly a repudiation of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu who made the unusual decision to refrain from neutrality and endorse [...]
With four Americans including a US ambassador killed by a motley band of terrorists, our consulate burned down, a highly decorated general and CIA Director dissembling before Congress, a Secretary of Defense, a UN Ambassador and a President publicly contradicting themselves, we are witnessing malfeasance on a spectacular scale. Ask yourself this: If we can’t [...]
Ominously, Tuesday night we found that an electoral majority can be assembled from among of the ultra rich, minorities, cultural liberals, unionized workers, the easily duped young idealists, and women, and that they can be mustered by an eloquent advocate of the compulsory society. Given this president’s dismal record over his first term, this election [...]
It is widely understood that our current entitlements, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the vast welfare beurocracies have already put this country on course toward insolvency and a fate similar to what Greece faces today. But the daunting thing to consider is nearly one half of American voters will vote to reelect a president which [...]
If it were not so infuriating the Obama campaign’s accusation that it is Romney who is conducting a war on women, it would be laughable for its abject hypocrisy. It recently came to light that the women on the Obama White House staff were being paid far less than their male counterparts holding comparable positions. [...]
