How to finally destroy Communism
On at 7:26 am
Despite being the world’s foremost Marxist superpower, the People’s Republic of China has only one labor union: the All-China Federation of Trade.

Satire is the comedian’s Fifth Amendment. Using it as an all-purpose excuse, they can get away with a slew of jokes bordering on offensive. But when death wishes come into play or you go about your “comedy” like you mean every word of it, chances are that line will be crossed. Unless you’re Bill Maher; [...]

On at 8:19 am
Let’s look at the Kagan nomination for Supreme Court Justice to get an idea of how unsuccessful we are in opposing pro-abortion Democrats. Elena Kagan is a hard-core pro-abortion Jewish Democrat. It’s incredibly obvious how she’s going to legislate if she were to take that coveted seat for the next 40+ years.

On June 30, 2010 at 7:25 amLast week, the House Committee on Appropriations revealed the 2011 Homeland Security Appropriations bill, the first of 12 appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2011.

A Call To Action
On June 29, 2010 at 5:56 pm
There is no question that times are tough. The national unemployment rate is around 10%—probably higher when you count the under-employed, those whose unemployment benefits have run out and those who have given up looking—and in many states the unemployment rate is even higher that the national average. While the Democrats didn’t start the out-of-control [...]

Palin, Haley and the Palmetto State Primary
On at 8:43 amWhen it comes to Sarah Palin, one thing’s for certain: her critics on both the left and right are incapable of constructive criticism. To the everlasting shame of the current state of our cultural and political landscape, we’ve become tragically accustomed to the depraved, illogical and relentless attacks on her from the Obama-worshipping crowd hell-bent [...]

On at 8:29 amOr more accurately, according to the latest Gallup poll, 42% of us self-identify as conservatives now, a full seven percentage points ahead of moderate (35%) and a whopping 22 percentage points ahead of liberal (20%). I am picking on Newsweek for an obvious reason — their egregious cover story on February 7, 2009 in which [...]
