The Have-Littles and the Have-Nots

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
But just because the First World is in financial trouble doesn't mean it can't still pay everyone's bar tab! Heck, no! Don't even think of taking out your wallet!2012-06-19T16:05:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZRachel Marsden

Presidential Overreach

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
President Barack Obama has demonstrated, once again, that he is an amateur who has no problem battering and bruising the U. S. Constitution in order to win four more years for his “Dismantle America” tour. He is singlehandedly making a mockery of our foundational document. Question is: Will he get away with it? 2012-06-19T12:18:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZBill Bunkley

Father in Chief - Or Just Another Politician

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
I have always appreciated President Obama as a family man. He and first lady Michelle have popularized several healthy family practices. For example, his practice of date night is something that thousands of congregations have taught for several decades. In some ways, he is the nation’s father in chief!2012-06-19T11:12:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZHarry R. Jackson, Jr.

Party of No?

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
Among the epithets that liberals so often turn to when rational argument and discussion have not gone as they would wish (and they never do), “the party of no” has become a popular one since the 2010 landslide midterm election victories by Republicans. I’d like to explain why this is outrageous.2012-06-19T10:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZArmstrong Williams

Two Books Everyone Must Read Before November

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
If you’re a conservative, you must read The Great Destroyer: Barack Obama’s War on the Republic by David Limbaugh and What the (Bleep) Just Happened: A Happy Warrior's Guide to the Great American Comeback by Monica Crowley. Then, pass them along to your “undecided” voter friends. 2012-06-19T00:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZKatie Pavlich

All Hail Emperor Obama

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
President Obama is no longer president in the constitutional sense. He appears to have elevated himself to the role of emperor, deciding unilaterally what should be the law and what should not, bypassing Congress and placing himself in the role of Julius Caesar.2012-06-19T00:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZCal Thomas

Now Korea Is Cleaning Our Clock

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
"The entry into force of the U.S.-Korea trade agreement on March 15, 2012, means countless new opportunities for U.S. exporters to sell more made-in-America goods, services and agricultural products to Korean customers -- and to support more good jobs here at home." Thus did the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative rhapsodize about the potential of our new trade treaty with South Korea. And how has it worked out for Uncle Sam? 2012-06-19T00:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZPat Buchanan

Nice Try Shrum, but Obama Ain't Truman, and this Ain't 1948

Obama’s Power Grabs Create an Imperial Presidency

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
In 2010 we published a book arguing that Barack Obama was creating an imperial presidency. The past few months prove that prediction was correct. First President Obama’s EPA claimed power to create cap-and-trade through new regulations, rather than Congress passing a law. Then Obama’s FCC claimed the power to regulate the Internet, despite a federal appeals court ruling that only Congress could authorize such control through legislation. More recently, Obama’s Department of HHS issued regulations requiring Catholic and Evangelical organizations to violate their religious conscience regarding birth control and abortion-related services.2012-06-19T00:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZKen Blackwell

Obama's Backdoor Amnesty Overreach Just Par for His Course

Tue, 2024-11-26 13:36
As disturbing as was President Obama's lawless usurpation of constitutional authority in circumventing the DREAM Act to grant backdoor amnesty, this type of overreach is nothing new for him. He has frequently complained about how democracy and the Constitution are "messy" and do not permit him to exercise the authority of a Chinese president. But he nevertheless warned us that he would be pushing forward with his agenda through executive orders and administrative actions "on a wide range of fronts."2012-06-19T00:01:00-04:002012-06-20T00:10:02ZDavid Limbaugh
