Although this may be the last time I write anything in support of our soon-to-be-President, it is both traditional and a matter of grace to wish a new President, regardless of party affiliation or political persuasion, success as he takes office. The time will come, soon, when partisan matters will ...

The link above is to a story quoting President-Elect Obama's Press Secretary as explicitly stating that the gays-in-the-military "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy will be repealed. His one-word reply to a questioner: "Yes." The Culture Wars are officially back, thanks to this ill-considered and ham-fisted announcement. We're already short troops, ...

Rarely does the wall street journal have anything intelligent to say. (I prefer Investor's Business Daily, BTW.) The link above is to a telling piece - a former Cato Institute member writes on the eerie way that Ayn Rand's magnum opus, "Atlas Shrugged," is morphing from fiction to fact before ...

Dear Congressman:
Congratulations on your election and best wishes for a happy new year. I'm writing about proposed 'card check' legislation for union elections. I am a member of OPEIU Local 2002, by choice, as we do not have a contract for collective bargaining with my employer, and have been ...

We cannot count on our government to tell us the truth, to protect us, or to advance our national interest. Indeed, it is obvious that many of our rulers are philosophically internationalist, secularist, and embarrassed by the Christian roots of America, as they are of the West in general. It ...

Not much needs to be added to the obvious: The new votes nearly all went to Franken, nearly all of the uncounted votes came from three precincts, and the absentee ballot recounting procedures were suspect, to be charitable about it.

The above link is to a Touchstone Magazine article by Dr. Stephen Baskerville on the origins and rotten fruits of our 'no-fault' divorce culture. I never met Osama bin Laden while I was in uniform; had I done so, one of us would be dead. I have met domestic terrorists, ...

Israel is apparently locked in a death struggle with Hamas. If the Palestinian Authority was governed my reasonable people, Israel would still have the right of self-defense in time of war. Hamas is not reasonable, and they will not be missed.

Nothing. He'a a profane, disgusting pol who may be guilty of selling a Senate seat, but he's not been charged, tried, or convicted. He has a right to fill that Senate seat, and, as Pat Buchanan points out, it's really telling to have a 100% white Democrat Senate caucus threaten ...
