Ace reports: You know what Jews really don't like? Jews for Jesus. I have a lot of Jewish friends, and they almost all go banana-sandwich over this. They don't like the invitation to conversion. They do react as if what is being discussed is nearly a hate-crime...

Wisconsin unions start feeding on each other

If you want a good measure of how deeply the collective bargaining bill in Wisconsin has disrupted public sector unions, there is no better example than the Wisconsins Education Association Council (WEAC). Last month WEAC announced that it was laying off 40% of its staff. With...

Newt Gingrich has found his voice in the recent two debates. He has been the most forceful and articulate voice lancing Obama and everything Obama stands for. Sure, Newt has the "baggage" but he is rising? ...

Let’s Get Real On Constitutional Amendments – And Stop Promising Them

Posted by Matthew Knee on September 13, 2011 11 Comments

Constitutional amendments are oddly popular these days in Republican circles: A Federal Marriage Amendment, a Balanced Budget Amendment, and a constitutional amendment banning abortion have all been part of either congressional proposals or presidential candidate promises.

It seems the rest of the Generation Y crew has weighed in on this, so I figured I'd put in my two cents. My experience is more like Michael's than Kathleen's. Islamist terrorism was a real issue in the world grew up in. It was something...

Call him, incorrigible

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 12, 2011 14 Comments

The Great Jobs Plan of 2011 is nothing more that The Great Tax Increase of 2011. He's completely incorrigible, the Rain Man of class warfare and tax increases on job creators: White House Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew outlined President Barack Obama's plan to...
