National Review, that bastion of strong conservative intellectualism, has a race problem: It therefore strengthens the anti-white racism it is meant to satirize which, as it happens, is a growing problem in the U.S. — not in the suburbs or backwoods but in the corporate executive suites, the media elites, the courts, the bureaucracy, and [...]

This is helpful. This is a cartoon recently published by the Rome News-Tribune in Rome, Georgia. It contextually hits on a plethora of offensive and stereotypical imagery, but its inherent message in light of the Sandra Fluke fiasco is even more insidious: this campaign season will be the most heinous, well-funded exhibition of negativity ever. [...]

Priceless: “This week, President Obama will release a budget that won’t take any meaningful steps toward solving our entitlement crisis. The president has failed to offer a single serious idea to save Social Security and is the only president in modern history to cut Medicare benefits for seniors.” Not only is Romney proving to be [...]

Rick Santorum has grabbed the President Obama’s war on religion narrative and has choked the life from it. Santorum may prove to be more adept at scoring points from this talking point than Mitt Romney. It’s his strength as the principled religious conservative in the race. But this play will only work with conservative evangelicals, [...]

This speaks for itself: Even needing to ask the question provides the answer. It matters not where he was born; this man is deeply and fiercely alien to the American tradition. He thinks ordinary Americans “cling” to Gods and guns because we are “bitter.” He believes we should “redistribute the wealth.” He thinks cops are [...]

There may be a price to pay for intransigence. Because of a deliberate attempt at self-sabotage by congressional republicans, an inability of Speaker Boehner to reign in tea party freshmen, and the likelihood of a substantial tax increase on more than 160 million Americans–something conservatives would normally consider anathema–they find themselves on the wrong end [...]

With the hyper partisan climate choking the life out of Washington elected officials, Congress’ approval ratings have shrunk to unprecedented depths. Their ability to conduct the people’s business as diminished significantly as their approval hovers around the nine percent range. With many American citizens wary of the anemic efforts coming from the Capital No Labels, a bipartisan [...]

It’s one thing to disagree on a particularly divisive issue–it’s entirely something different to engage in haughty, disreputable politics. Mitt Romney’s shameful display not only reinforced his strained attempts at humanizing his candidacy–it showcased an utter lack of political savvy and genuine compassion. At an event that was meant to highlight the endorsement of Romney [...]

This video leaves little doubt as to what type of campaign President Obama would wage against republican nominee Newt Gingrich. It’s brutal tone is only matched by its reality. No matter how much Newt professes to be the outsider with a spine of steel, his actions and words always belie that. The president isn’t [...]
