Governor Markell and the Democrat Governors were pushing the bipartisan jobs bill and decrying the partisanship in Washington. Markell said to Foxnews, Republican lawmakers have effectively put Obama on his heels by blocking Democratic initiatives. “The challenge has been to get through the clutter of ‘No,”‘ he said.

The Democrats are divided, whether their house will stand is not just based upon unity, but whether or not they unify based upon freedom or government power. The American people want their nation back. Washington is struggling against the grain. The blustery admonition from Rep. Anthony Weiner, one of the House’s leading liberal voices, underscores [...]

The Democrat Party seems almost lockstep in socializing America at the national level. What may trip them up is an implosion over a radical cultural agenda. The reason I brought up cultural issues today is that they are what is being voted upon this week. Conservatives are not the ones trying to change the successful [...]

The tea party movement is more popular than the GOP. Tim, Frank, and I have been making a point for months that the GOP needs to get back to Constitutional, common sense conservatism or it may be in jeopardy. This poll proves the point. It should also be a warning to third party movement that [...]

“Hillary is a Rock Star”, this and other assessments graced Vogue.

Republicans side with terrorists. No wonder National Democrats are losing credibility and poll way behind the gracious President Obama. The DNC lost it. The DNC forgot people like Lech Walesa and many others. The President can’t even bring the new civility and peace to his own party. I hope he is more successful with rouge [...]

I am a strong supporter of FISA and the recent arrest in NY illustrates why we need it. This nation is at war by the choice of others, but it will only win it by our choice. There is a warped mentality in a segment of the Democrat Party which believes that liberty can only [...]

There are dark clouds on the horizon if you are concerned about freedom of expression. We all know about the now defunct flag.whitehouse.gov.

Blue Dog Democrats are brain dead according to California Firebrand and House Ways and Means subcommittee chair man Pete Stark (D) CA.

Senator Ted Kennedy represented a lot of bad ideas during his life, we don’t need to suffer because of his death. If Democrats want to honor a legend in American politics, build the man a museum, but don’t ruin our health care system. I sympathize with the supporters and family of Senator Kennedy. They have [...]

The White House is appointing itself “The Interrogation Czar” in yet another move that makes me wonder if Congress is ever going to step in and do some of the stuff we elected them to do: President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White [...]

New lows have been achieved in support for Democrats health care reform. Voters now trust Republicans more on that issue as well.

Some in the administration and the Senate would put America behind a wall of taxation is the new isolationism. The excuse is trying to prevent people from being able to hide income off shore.

According to Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer, healthcare opponents are “un-American”. These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades. Comments?
