Given the very fragile economy currently existing, who believes there would be much expedite freight to haul if gas/diesel hits $7.00 per gallon? We have tens of millions of US citizens and businesses teetering on collapse at this very moment. Which entities would be purchasing our expensive...

Yes, the neocon label is a particularly vicious term used to denigrate the broader conservative movement generally, and certain conservatives specifically. It isn't a great leap to make word associations such as NeoCon/Neo Nazi. Of course, such connections are linguistic fantasy, but the...

Obama's arrogance will lead him and his team into political and legal quicksand.

Can any US citizen be so twisted as to attempt establishing moral equivalency between a madman such as Saddam Hussein and a US president? Saddam Hussein had live human beings fed into a wood chipper feet first. Saddam Hussein had dissidents thrown off the roofs of tall buildings. Saddam...

Today we hear the Obama administration has decided it will no longer defend the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) signed into law approximately 15 years ago. The federal law known as DOMA defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. Moral confusion has its home in the Democrat Party...

The standards for military service aren't the problem. The problem is 75% not being able to meet minimum standards.

Politico.com has a headline article today on what our national defense leaders call the "disconnect" between our civilian population and US military personnel. It's a pretty good summary and hits the obvious points to be made. One statistic that jumped out was 75% of today's youth who are...

Instability and uncertainty feed the oil speculators. The current turmoil in the Middle East could last a long time. It's going to be tough for the world economy to absorb another price shock for fuel. Let's hope things improve rapidly.

"Mo" is a mad man. President Reagan bombed Gaddfi's residence some 25 years ago as retaliation for bad acts. Since that narrow miss (Gaddafi's infant daughter was killed) Gaddafi has kept a lower profile. Still, he is widely believed to be irrational. The Libyan people most likely know Mo...

Reality has caught up with the entitlement crowd. Outrageous demands by public sector unions have put a spotlight on organized labor and their ever increasing drain on scarce resources. Obama has paid lip service to the union whiners. Jesse Jackson made an appearance. Democratic state...

Breitbart.com has a brief story concerning the American Taliban, John Walker Lindh. According to his father, JWL has adjusted well to prison life. Most will remember Lindh was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan as he was portrayed to be fighting against his country, the United States...

Yes, unfortunately, Ron Paul does come across as a drab, uninspiring isolationist. He has some interesting economic ideas. By all accounts Paul is known to be a good and decent man. 76 years old, perhaps a little tired and cranky. Nice guy, yes. Leader, no.

So many divergent viewpoints and agendas find voice in the United States. What really holds this nation together? What would really tear our nation apart?

By menace I meant libertarians are a threat to the larger conservative movement. Libertarians, generally speaking, do not share traditional conservative viewpoints on social issues such as abortion, homosexual marriage, etc. If the GOP is prepared to concede important social and cultural...

Congrats on the new van!

Many who call themselves libertarians are actually libertines and have no business disrupting the conservative movement. I, along with other social conservatives, am beginning to see "libertarians" for the menace they represent.

CPAC is in crisis mode right now. The spectacle of inviting GoProud has driven many reliable stalwarts away. GoProud will not be invited to future CPAC conferences. GoProud's advocacy of homosexuality stands in direct conflict with traditional conservative principles. New leadership is...

Egypt is primarily a Muslim nation. This is not news. Given a free and fair election, it would be logical to conclude candidates espousing traditional Islamic values would fare well.

We shouldn't be surprised if Mubarak eventually finds himself on trial in Egypt. Corruption, possible theft from the national treasury, putting political dissidents in prison, civil rights violations, human rights violations, state sponsored terror against his own people... ??? Who knows...

To follow up on Pilgrim's point, we can now expect Obama to step forward and try to absorb praise and credit for the revolution in Egypt. Of course, Obama and his crew were woefully clueless (one moment standing by Mubarak, the next moment loudly proclaiming Mubarak must go). Rather than take...
