Horsemen, or Musketeers?

Four Horsemen are going to ride into Washington on April 21st to appear before a congressional committee at the behest of Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. These Horseman go by four names: Righteousness, Conquest, Famine and Death. Or, in other words: Caterpillar, AT&T, John Deere, and Verizon. Just [...]

Disavowing the GOP Arugula Gap

At a rural Iowa campaign stop in 2007, then Illinois Sen. Barack Obama asked a crowd a simple question: “Anybody gone into a Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?”  From that point on, in the months leading up to the 2008 presidential election, Republicans used Obama’s affinity for the fancy-schmancy green [...]

Rove and Miers — A Different Perspective

Former Bush administration senior adviser and political pundit extraordinaire Karl Rove has made it very clear in both his new book, Courage and Consequence, and in radio interviews that he believed that former White House Counsel Harriet Miers was an excellent choice as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Looking at her outstanding career [...]

Why Progressives Consistently Miss the Mark

Those of us who have been lucky enough to be able to clearly see the world and how it operates have difficulty understanding the Progressive mind and how Progressives can attempt the same thing time and time again. If you go by Albert Einstein’s definition, “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different [...]

Toyota’s Ludicrous Liabilities

While I agree that it is very difficult for loved ones whenever anyone dies in an automobile accident, and while I understand why those left behind want very badly to find out what went wrong and who was at fault, there’s a fine line between constructive inquiry and political show. Without the help of either, [...]

It Isn’t All Obama’s Fault

As President Barack Obama juggled faux accountability with the stubbornness of an ideologue last week, it’s important to understand that it isn’t all Barack Obama’s fault.  It isn’t — the Democrats have to take their share of the blame, too. I wouldn’t expect someone like Barack Obama to understand this; his education is woefully inadequate [...]

Get Illegal Immigration Solved — Now

It is unacceptable and dangerous that we have anywhere between an estimated 12 and 20 million illegal immigrants living and working in the United States with no idea as who they are or why they are here. This problem must be solved, and solved now.  That the problem has not been solved, however, speaks directly [...]

The Two Fronts of Terrorism

More than a fortnight ago, Brad Fregger’s inaugural piece at America’s Right was an interesting one in that it was half-article, half-interview.  Regardless, “The Promise of the Electric Vehicle” sparked a bit of controversy (which will be more apparent once the 34 comments finally import from the old site), and I was thrilled yesterday when [...]

‘The Promise of the Electric Vehicle’

Carbonhagen. That’s the best description of the location and nature of the international climate change summit currently taking place overseas in Denmark, where the “something is rotten” includes but is certainly not limited to the overt hypocrisy of those involved, as well as an underlying motivation behind environmental policy arising from anything but concern for [...]
