A Lighter Look at Predictions for 2010

A few days ago I wrote a rather serious, foreboding look at the economy for 2010, which I am sure didn’t generate too much enthusiasm at what is supposed to be an uplifting part of the year. Frankly, because 2009 was such a downer for so many people, I reserved the lighter side of life [...]

The Left’s Surprising Response to Rush Limbaugh’s Hospitalization

It’s about an hour and a half into New Year’s Eve here on the east coast, which means that it is just after 8:30 p.m. in Hawaii, where about six hours ago radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital with chest pains.  Various reports have Limbaugh in varying conditions.  Some Twitter [...]

Justice Janet Napolitano?!?

NewsBusters: ‘Chuck Todd on Ingraham Show: Napolitano Would Step Down — When Obama Nominates Her to Supreme Court’ It was a discussion between NBC’s Chuck Todd and radio host Laura Ingraham about which cabinet members would likely leave next.  Napolitano was on the list, but not for the reasons you and I might think.  Here’s [...]

On This, Ron Paul is Wrong

It’s a shame, because on so many things recently Ron Paul has been absolutely, positively right. As much as I share his perspective on our nation’s and government’s departure from its constitutional roots, and as much as I see the value inherent in his isolationist tendencies, when Dr. Paul comes out and makes the Carteresque [...]

Napolitano Must Go

Some might call it “unbelievable.”  Others might say it reeks of utter incompetence. Either assessment would be far too charitable with regard to the sorry commentary vomited forth this morning by current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano in a USA Today op-ed piece. In the large, steaming pile of stupidity she conjured up after [...]

The Interpol Order

RedState: ‘The Obama Administration Gives INTERPOL More Favorable Immunities Than American Law Enforcement Agencies’ I’m in the same position as RedState’s Erick Erickson on this one — for the past week I’ve been receiving e-mails and, largely because of the Christmas holiday and the America’s Right redesign (not to mention my natural tendencies as a [...]

The Power and Pitfalls of Profiling

Those of you who have been around here at America’s Right for a while, long before even last year’s redesign nonetheless this one, know that I used to be an uninformed liberal Democrat. My awakening happened during the course of a single afternoon back in 2001 when I purchased and read, cover to cover, Bernie [...]

For Ben Nelson, Reelection Turns On His Health Vote

A few interesting notes this morning from pollster Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports, all pertaining to the Senate health care reform bill, the special Medicaid deal procured by Sen. Ben Nelson in exchange for his vote, and Nelson’s own re-election prospects as tied to the health bill. On the bill itself, here are the facts [...]

The Party of ‘Know’

Ah, do you not love the smell of the Democrats’ blossoming liberal hypocrisy in the morning? And in the afternoon? And at sundown? And midnight? And at 1:30 AM, when they call for the votes on their scheme to nationalize one-sixth of the nation’s economy? But I digress.  Yes, already. The clarion call of the [...]

Economy 2010: Buzzards Gotta Eat, Same As Worms

This is the time of year when everyone feels compelled to predict what will happen in the following year. I will follow this in spirit, but violate it in fact since I will give three different views of America’s economic future in 2010. In The Outlaw Josey Wales, Clint Eastwood–who plays Josey Wales–kills a man. [...]
