I came across this Margaret Thatcher (RIP) quote and thought how quaint it seems in the pick-your-gender era: Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t. Forget quaint. This could be construed as hateful under the emerging orthodoxy, which doesn’t permit natural or accidental constraints on … Continue reading
This is a post I received from a friend of mine on Facebook. It should be shared with all Americans. Barack Obama during his Cairo speech, said: “I know too that Islam has always been a part of America’s history…” AN AMERICAN CITIZEN’S RESPONSE Dear Mr. Obama; Were those Muslims that were in America … Continue reading
In a column earlier this month on May 5th, Milan Simonich vehemently attacked Governor Susana Martinez as an inadequate leader and self-serving person without many accomplishments. His attacks went from claims about lack of job creation to Martinez statement that she had balanced the state budget, which he brushed aside as unimportant because ‘the state … Continue reading
Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in his grave. Same can be said for George Washington who warned against the growth of political parties in his Farewell Address to America upon completing his second term.

The New Mexico Democratic Party supports Occupy I have been acquainted with Occupy New Mexico for some time.

“Being on the Left means never having to say you’re sorry.” –Dennis Prager Remember when Susan Rice’s name was being floated for the position of Secretary of State last November?

-by Geoff Caldwell Did White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, use his brother David’s position as president of CBS News to push the false “it was the video” excuse within hours of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi? It would certainly explain how barely six hours after the … Continue reading
-by Geoff Caldwell The lie put forth by President Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Benghazi terrorism of 9/11/2012 was the result of an anti-Islam YouTube video was used in a CBS/AP story posted within hours of the attack.

-by Geoff Caldwell If the content of character of the elected leaders who occupy the offices at the highest levels of our government remains but even a scintilla of importance, than not only does the Benghazi debacle matter, it matters a lot. In the eight months since Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and … Continue reading
The day after the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks president Obama said: “Make no mistake. We will work with the Libyan government to bring justice to the killers who attacked our people.” But, more than seven months later, there are no indictments and no arrests. According to a House Republican Conference report on the Benghazi … Continue reading

Sometimes the best you can do is let others speak for you. Yuval Levin, via National Review: We are all dependent on others. The question is whether we are dependent on people we know, and they on us—in ways that foster family and community, build habits of restraint and dignity, and instill in us responsibility … Continue reading
The deadliest arrow in the secularist quiver is a religious man or Bible scholar who muddies the Bible’s moral teachings. He is like the capitalists Lenin praised for selling him the rope from which they will hang. One such man is religion professor Timothy Beal, author of The Rise and Fall of the Bible. In … Continue reading
America 2013, a country on life support. A nation formed by a most beautiful document The Declaration of Independence has willingly strayed from the principles that made our nation great. Where once we believed our rights come from God, we now believe they come from government. Were once we believed in self-reliance and personal responsibility we now … Continue reading
While the U.S. was still reeling from the devastation caused by the Boston bombing and before it was known who was responsible for the act, there were those on the left who assumed, even hoped, that it was an act of right-wing terrorism. When their hopes were dashed, they took a detour from grieving for … Continue reading
The world turns, another ESPN commentator gets sent to the doghouse. This time it’s Chris Broussard for his on-air commentary describing Jason Collins’ homosexuality as “open rebellion against God.” Broussard should know better. To paraphrase the president, America is no less a homosexual nation than a Christian nation. We distinguish righteousness from sin at the … Continue reading

While gun-toting conservatives and libertarians are often portrayed as fanatical this guy is a leftist doing what conservatives are often accused of being– a nuisance and an abuser of free speech.

Free speech is one of the most powerful things that makes our nation great– it is guaranteed by our Constitution’s Bill of Rights specifically in the first amendment which reads as follows: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or … Continue reading

This is a fascinating news item. Jeff Bauman, who had both his lower legs blown off in the Boston Marathon bombings, came face to face with one of the perpetrators moments before the attack. At the time, Bauman didn’t know who the man was or what he was up to. Just before 3 p.m. on … Continue reading
A baby swims in a toilet, another whines, another retracts its arms and legs after being placed in a shoebox, all right before these babies are killed. Today the prosecution brought their 36th and final witness to the stand, Women’s Medical Society employee Kareema Cross. Ms. Cross was perhaps the most damaging witness for Gosnell … Continue reading

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” –Exodus 20:17 Robin Hood-style redistribution accounts for but a fraction of the Left’s agenda. We focus on it because we live in a materialistic age, … Continue reading

Martin was in attendance in order to watch his father race; he was waiting at the finish line so that he could give his father a hug. Martin was accompanied by his mother, brother and sisters. After the … Continue reading
Today, I attended the Gosnell trial. It was exciting to see Kimberly Guilfoyle of Fox News’ The Five in the courtroom. It is a sign that, at last, national attention is being brought to this case. For whatever reason, the trial had a late start. It began well after 11am. Gosnell walked in smiling, seemed … Continue reading
I’m struck by the unwitting irony in this Bloomberg article: Baby boomers, like Burzichelli, a former education manager at Rutgers University, are at the forefront of a new movement. They brought on the sexual revolution, demanded natural childbirth, fought for legalized abortion and turned the mid-life crisis into a force for self-improvement. Now they’re engaged … Continue reading

While it’s not the government’s official position smoking doesn’t adversely affect your health, government policy isn’t any different than if it was. It’s a long-running joke that cigarette manufacturers refuse to acknowledge the link between cigarettes and cancer for liability reasons. Everyone knows smoking is bad for your health. Why, then, can’t health insurers charge … Continue reading

That means that approximately .0077 percent of the … Continue reading
The real outrage resulting from the Ben Carson/Johns Hopkins University imbroglio is Carson’s abandonment of a perfectly rational argument in the face of typical mischaracterizations. The Leftist crusaders’ exceptionally stupid conclusion is that Carson equated homosexuality to bestiality when speaking against same-sex marriage. Two points: 1. Carson used man-animal to illustrate a category of sexual … Continue reading

(h/t The Weekly Standard) “As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they’re worth taking” Absurdity of the weepy emotional appeal that we all must save just one life aside. Really? Are we as a nation collectively concerned about saving just one life? Do 100 percent of our actions, words, … Continue reading
I’m not sure what to make of Josh Hamilton. On the one hand, he’s fallen into the deepest of hells—drug addiction—and emerged clean, dedicated, and unabashedly redeemed by the blood of Christ. On the other hand, he has been dismissive and put-offish towards the Rangers organization and his former fan base. During contract negotiations a … Continue reading
“Socialism works in Sweden” is one liberal refrain I’ve found difficult to rebut. At the American Conservative, Samuel Goldman writes: Even after significant cuts, Nordic governments still spend about half of their GDP, just a bit less than the U.S. spent at the peak of the Second World War. It’s true that the Scandinavians have … Continue reading
School districts and universities in Michigan rushed to sign last-minute contract extensions that effectively bypass the new right-to-work law.

Jim Boyd. … Continue reading

I know I’m not the only person who noticed. Twitchy.com picked up on many others on Twitter who have wondered, why are we not talking about jobs? The left has … Continue reading
In Pakistan, Obama’s drone policy is responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians. The Obama administration has been using drones which lack the precision needed to be able to decipher the difference between a terrorist and a civilian. Hence, 10% of those killed by these drones are civilians. The Obama administration defends its actions by … Continue reading
Tuesday night Ryan T. Anderson, editor of Public Discourse, did the Lord’s work by going onto Piers Morgan’s show to “debate” same-sex marriage. Watch the whole segment: It’s telling that Morgan’s rebuttal to Anderson begins, “You understand why I feel…” Notice how he tees up Suze Orman’s response: “What are you really feeling right now?” … Continue reading
After this week’s blogposts about the Santa Fe New Mexican censoring me out of their article on social media and New Mexico’s 2013 legislative session. I finally have received answers which are half-satisfactory! Yesterday I explained here how the Occupy movement pestered Julie Ann Grimm after it was not included in the article, which likely … Continue reading
A video which was created by the IRS to be part of their 2010 training conference illustrates well the government spending problem. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent on the following video which seems to accomplish nothing in the form of training: “The IRS recognizes and takes seriously our obligation to be good stewards … Continue reading
Conservative infighting would be OK if it ended on election day and the other side wasn’t so good at using it against us. Aw look, Hillary is evolving again.

Gender-ambivalent marriage may be the law of the land in 9 states and the District of Columbia, but that doesn’t mean the other 41 states have to abide it. Or do they? That’s up to the Supreme Court—unfortunately—which will decide this summer whether Proposition 8, the traditional marriage law in California, is constitutional. Arguments begin … Continue reading
