Liberty, Where Have You Gone?
A sagacious Bible scholar told me how important it was for the Israelites to look back and remember what God had done for them in the past because it gave them the strength to persevere through difficult times. Sometimes we need to look back, too, and remember what we have to be grateful for in… Read more »
Obama Is Tired of Fighting Terrorism?
“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…” These were words Obama never used during his speech at the National Defense University yesterday. Rather, he said anything but anything that… Read more »
When Did We Vote to Become Mexico?
At first I thought the IRS scandal was leaked to distract from the Benghazi scandal. But that didn’t make sense because the IRS scandal is a more obvious abuse of power than the White House lying about the murder of four Americans in Libya. Before I had resolved which scandal was distracting from which, we… Read more »
Undoing the Brainwashing

The Spectator President
No, this is not Watergate or Iran-Contra. Nor is it a sex scandal. The AP, IRS and Benghazi matters represent a scandal not of presidential wrongdoing, but of presidential indolence, indifference and incompetence in discharging the duties of chief executive.

A Bumper Crop of Food Stamps

The food stamps sweeten the farm deal for lawmakers, who admit that the combination works for their political purposes. As Heritage… Read more »
Canary in the Coal Mine or Baitfish?
Environmentalists say they believe the Delta Smelt is the canary in the coal mine, a link in the ecological chain of life that must be saved. Or, is it just a fish they can use to promote their agenda? We, of course, believe the latter. Wayne Lusvardi, in a recent CalWatchdog article made the point that… Read more »
Guns, God and Family: Hitting Pop Culture
American comedians are making a pile of cash with clean humor centered on guns, God and family. As scandals from Benghazigate to the IRS-targeting of conservative groups shake our country.

The president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press on Sunday called the government’s secret seizure of two months of reporters’ phone records “unconstitutional” and said the news cooperative had not ruled out legal action against the Justice Department.

The end of ‘hope and change’? Obama promised a new age but it feels a lot like 1973
In then-Sen. Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, he ran to the left of Hillary Clinton as a moral reformer. Obama promised to transcend the old politics and bring a new era of hope-and-change transparency to Washington. Five years later, those vows are in shambles. True, the killing of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, has become… Read more »
