With President Obama demanding an “up or down” vote on sweeping health care reform, it’s worth reminding people of what government has done where involved with medical care and “bringing down costs.” The leadership in Washington will push for virtually any reform bill no matter how bad or unconstitutional, and when things eventually get worse, [...]

Here is an interesting compilation that is not new for many, but will be an eye-opener for many others.
The Media Research Center has assembled a new resource called Media Bias 101, which summarizes more than 25 years of research showing how journalists vote, what journalists think, what the public thinks about the media, and what [...]

While Starbucks does “not have a corporate policy regarding customers and weapons,” according to a spokesman, it is (for now) allowing customers to carry firearms into most stores. That is, unless it caves in to pressure from anti-gun groups such as the Brady Campaign.
What’s the big deal you ask?
According to an article over at AlterNet [...]

President Obama, Justice Alito, and Citizens United Free Speech Case

President Obama, an expert at condemning partisanship before practicing it himself, thought it proper to lambast the Supreme Court’s recent First Amendment decision in front of the country and the Justices sitting not ten feet away.
Liberal media pundits immediately ran to Obama’s defense, criticizing Justice Alito for shaking his head and apparently mouthing the response [...]

The nation’s leading ‘newspaper’ called the Supreme Court ruling expanding free speech in political campaigns as “disastrous,” and that it “strikes at the heart of democracy.” They claim that allowing corporate money to “flood” the political marketplace would “corrupt democracy.”
The establishment media is outraged for the simple fact that they were exempt from using their [...]

Democrats Have Done A Lot For the Black Community

Not long after the racial remarks made by Harry Reid, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman appeared on Keith Olbermann’s Countdown and claimed that, in addition to blacks, “everybody else in the society pretty much” would view Democrats more favorably on racial issues. Fineman, trying to downplay the incident, said that “fair-minded” people would side with Democrats for [...]

President Obama’s ability for deception is quite stunning after reading an article simply titled The Lies of Obama. Readers should keep in mind that this list was compiled in just the first year of Obama’s presidency.
When politicians are caught out in lies, their supporters often resort to the old cliché: all politicians lie. But that [...]

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll suggests fewer people today see president Obama as closing racial divides.
But why would he? Obama and the Democratic Party benefit greatly by fostering a sense of grievance and division within this country. The political left specializes in breaking people apart by race, gender, and class warfare in order to [...]

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had described Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
It’s strange how the left side of the political aisle constantly makes the racial faux pas, yet they like to play the race card against the right.
If it’s not Harry Reid, it’s:
