Dancing Around Race Gets Us Nowhere

On a few occasions now, I’ve been critical of both John McCain and Hillary Clinton for backing down in the face of accusations of racial intolerance from the Barack Obama camp. Until we face the topic of race in America head on, until we have a no-holds-barred, honest and Festivus-like airing of grievances, we will [...]

City of Brotherly Love?

What is the answer for Philadelphia? With extraordinary museums, nearly unparalleled cuisine, a bottomless wealth of history and a perfect location of just a few hours’ drive from both the Big Apple and Washington, D.C., Philadelphia could very well be a world-class city. Instead, Philadelphia is working overtime to develop a different reputation. More than [...]

More From the "Blame America First" Crowd

What did you know and when did you know it? Always the question in question. Always asked by some bloated fat-cat politician during some sort of hearing on steriods, on securities, on security. When we are attacked again on U.S. soil, it’ll be the very first question asked of a sitting Republican by the ranking [...]

Blindfolded by Political Correctness, We March to Our Own Destruction

Steven Emerson’s excellent article at HumanEvents.com today sheds some light on the goals, presence and affiliations of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), exposing internal memos and even federal investigation results showing not only the intentions of the group’s founders to further Islamic Jihad from within our own borders, structure and culture, but also the [...]

Chuck Norris: "Guns, God and Gays"

Sifting through columns and commentaries, I stumbled upon a name that seemed out of place among the other pundits and personalities. Chuck Norris. As soon as I read his piece, I knew that I had to include it here. Sure, it’s Chuck Norris, and that in itself is pretty darned cool, but it’s a good [...]

Predictions, Old and New

The Return of Al Gore By the time I started this Web site in January, I was already reneging on a prediction I boldly had been making for the better part of 2007. For months and months and months, I had thought that Al Gore was going to swoop in as savior of the Democratic [...]

"Just Like Any Other Easter Service"

On my way into work this morning, I caught a few minutes of a local radio interview with Barack Obama, during which he briefly addressed the media frenzy surrounding the Trinity United Church of Christ and his own self-proclaimed “spiritual mentor,” Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In the interview, Obama dismissed criticism of Trinity United, saying that [...]

I Wish I Had Thought of This Sooner

A friend of mine called me today with some interesting news. “Jeff,” he said, “I know we’re like family, and I almost didn’t want to tell you this … I’m kind of worried that you won’t think the same of me…” I could hear the grin over the telephone. Did he get engaged? Holy crap, [...]

Four Thousand

“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.” – Herman Melville Over the course of two months in early 1945, more than 26,000 of our bravest sons, brothers and fathers were either killed or wounded or went missing as American forces clashed against the Japanese on Iwo Jima, [...]

Obama is Right and Wright is Wrong

While on vacation, I missed a few things. The first, and biggest (in terms of media coverage), issue included the lovely musings of Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Barack Obama’s subsequent “landmark” speech on race, America and politics. Barack Obama’s speech on race and politics in America, given on Tuesday at the National Constitution [...]
