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? ...

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...

Received this note and photo from reader Tom in Colorado: I saw this morning's post of the "Annoy a Liberal" bumper sticker spotted by Linda in Tennessee. She beat me to it! I saw this one (attached) on the way home just yesterday. It's a variant...

Will not be "live blogging" it, but will have some observations. Feel free to comment. At the 8:30 break:  Great line by Newt, Obama scares seniors every day.  He made a strong substantive point, which is that why should be have to live in a system where...

None of my friends or relatives were directly affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001. I was just starting the fourth grade in North Carolina and, while I knew my parents were clearly worried about something, I didn't really understand what they were talking...

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...

This strikes me as more significant than Pawlenty for Romney, because it represents the future of the Republican Party coming out for Perry, whereas Pawlenty in many ways represented the past.  Via CNN: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is backing Rick Perry for president, a major endorsement...

I've been spitting into the wind on this issue since days before the 2008 election. Rather than strengthening social security as a pay-in retirement protection program, Obama consistently has sought to destroy social security as we know it by treating FICA payments as just another tax...

In a post at NRO, praising Romney without bashing other Republican candidates: But he’s not only a family man, he is a man of principle. He believes in the bedrock conservative ideals of limited government and free enterprise. He will stand up for America’s allies when they...

You could work hard and be happy. I'm certainly not against that. But if you really want to accomplish the goal of this bumper sticker, just keep commemorating 9/11. That annoys Paul Krugman and his many friends in the left-blogosphere more than anything. And if you weren't happy before,...
