Here’s Mark Steyn on Obama’s “brilliant” plan and American fear: It’s a good thing he’s the smartest president of all time and the greatest orator since Socrates because otherwise one might easily confuse him with some birdbrained Bush type. But, if we take him at his word, then a trillion-dollar
Continue readingThe Washington Post has an excellent op-ed regarding the fact that, this time regarding health care, the Obama administration is once again trampling blithely over the Constitution. After you’ve read the op-ed, you might also want to read Ed Morrissey’s further comments. I particularly like Morrissey’s point about the reason
Continue readingWhen I was living in England, all of my friends carried perpetual “overdrafts.” If they wanted more money than their account had, they’d go to the bank and basically arrange an informal, short-term loan by which the bank allowed them to draw on money that wasn’t really (or, as my

That does not mean that people in politics cannot be religious or that their values cannot be informed by religion.
Continue readingYou all know about the Scottish government’s insane decision to free the mass murdering Lockerbie bomber on “compassion” grounds. You also all know about the government-sponsored rapturous, hero’s welcome this same mass murderer received upon his arrival in Libya. That’s yesterday’s news. Steve Schippert, who blogs at ThreatsWatch, finds the
