As this President and his party preside over the decline of our economy, the country’s ability to influence events which impact its vital interests and national security continues to wane. The utter pointlessness of the nuclear weapons talks between the five permanent powers of the UN Security Council and Iran and the relentless slaughter in [...]
"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. It's wrong." — President Obama. With Diane Feinstein, the long-standing Democrat Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, decrying the “avalanche of leaks” which is compromising our allies, our intelligence operations and warriors, and our “assets” in the field, it is [...]
While everyone in the US outside of the Democrat core constituencies celebrated Scott Walker’s win in the Wisconsin recall election, there was a disturbing aspect to it. Despite the fact that Walkers reforms reversed his state’s slide into insolvency, reversing a 3 billion dollar annual deficit into a break-even revenue stream without firing any government [...]
While most of us in the conservative commentariat have found much to appall us, as it pertains to this president’s management of national security and the war on terrorists, in order to maintain our collective credibility, it’s imperative that we give him credit when it is due.

Continuation of original article Trivia question: What do the American Left and the rioters in Greece have in common? Answer: Both are in arithmetic denial.

Sadly, few of us are celebrating last week’s coup pulled off by our spy agencies precisely because we have again narrowly avoided having to watch American carnage on TV. And this allows us to get back to watching American Idol. But we should celebrate the fact that a fearless double agent, directed by both the [...]
As we watch the continuing economic implosion of socialist Europe, I would offer this thought experiment especially to those who continue to vote Democrat: Consider the fact that at his inaugural address in 1960, at the most desperate point in the nuclear standoff of the cold war, Kennedy famously challenged the nation by stating, “So [...]
The late, great William F. Buckley famously quipped: I’d rather be governed by 50 people randomly selected from the Boston phone book than 50 of the Yale faculty. Translation: no matter how pedigreed you may be, if you view the world through a collectivist, capitulationist prism, your judgment is fatally flawed. So too is the [...]
A recent national poll showed that 7 out of 10 Americans feel this country is in decline. In a California survey this month, it was 10 out of 10. Most of those that were surveyed felt if things continue in the economy and do not turn around, we are facing our own fallen civilization and [...]
