To some, 1983 may as well have been the dark ages in the United States.  At that time, America had a conservative president in the White House, who, in addition to being responsible for the worldwide outbreak of AIDS and the nation’s homelessness problem, also thought to “intercept nuclear weapons and destroy them as they... »

By Vincent Fiore As happens with most anything even remotely political these days, the mainstream media gets it and decides to present a picture that does not represent the actual importance–meaning news–of the event. In essence, it might be viewed as the liberal “imprimatur.” Let’s take Sunday’s NFL playoff championship games between the Chicago Bears... »

By Vincent Fiore        You would almost have to be of Helen Keller stock not to have noticed the oohs and aahs regarding the freshman senator from Illinois, Barack Obama. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama)        Ever since his “coming-out party” in 2004 as the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, Obama has garnered much fawning praise,... »

 By Vincent Fiore        While the political power brokers “ooh and aah” over the damage “Foleygate” has done to the GOP’s chances of retaining control of Congress this election, hardly a glance is spared for the Senate minority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)        “Foleygate,” of course, refers to the troubles of former Congressman Mark Foley, (R-Fla.),... »

 By Vincent Fiore        While most of us who call ourselves conservatives struggle for an answer to that question, a look back as to why the question is posed at all might be helpful.        In 1994, the electorate sees a motivated and impassioned GOP come out of the political wilderness and take control of the... »

Among the left, there seems to be a great deal of consternation when discussing the current situation of the world and the issues that populate it. Much of the discussion centers on two-term president George W. Bush. Even now, as Bush approaches official “lame duck” status in the White House, the hardcore and bombastic... »

By Vincent Fiore        Shouting atop the rooftops of news-drunk America, the liberal press has done a sensational job of bamboozling Mr. and Mrs. headline-scanner with the most fictitious and leading above-the-fold “news” stories.  Usually within the first two or three lines, these reports unfailingly paint George W. Bush and the United States military as... »

   By Vincent Fiore       As the war progresses in the Middle East and wave upon wave of rockets fired by Hezbollah kill Israeli civilians and military personal, the world hears from one of liberalism’s premiere statesmen, opinion writer Richard Cohen:        “The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself... »

By now, most people around politics know that former New York Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani would be seeking the nomination for president of the United States. A recent column by Washington’s premiere political pundit, Robert Novak, only underlines the obvious: The question is not If Giuliani runs, but When he openly declares that he... »

By Vincent Fiore        It seems like only yesterday when Americans were hearing how the obvious coexistence of terrorism and Islam is only the chosen coexistence of a very few.  After all, one gazes about the world and sees the billion or so Muslims in it, and realize that not all of them are trying... »

By Vincent Fiore   Dear Mom and Dad:        What a difference a few weeks make!  If someone had said to me last month that we would have bagged Zarqawi in Iraq, I would have replied that there was a better chance of me sprouting another head.  It takes a little good luck, as well as all... »

By Vincent Fiore        Today, many GOP supporters talk of the 1994 sweep by Republicans as a moment in time.  The newly elected Republican majority has sealed its “Contract with America” by the very votes it received from the electorate.         As dozens of freshman House members assumed their elected offices, they happened to also assume... »

From out the mouths of babes, it is said, come the most wondrous things. But from the mouth of Blue Star Mother Debbie Katsounakis, the word “wondrous” need not apply. If one were to ask Debbie how to best support the men and women of the Armed forces, she would simply say: America,... »

By Vincent Fiore        On May 1, immigrants, both legal and illegal, will purportedly take to the streets to:        *Call for–which is just the politically correct way of saying “demand”–amnesty for the unknown millions within the United States, and…      *Demand that the U.S. government pass no legislation that even hints at real law and order... »

By Vincent Fiore The setting is a common room in Maspeth, Queens, an old and history-laden area within the sprawling metropolis that is New York. In the common room, about 15 to 20 tradesmen await the time-clock’s imminent arrival of 3:00 p.m., and quitting time. Always abuzz with the day’s doings–job-related tales and technical... »

By Vincent Fiore Unquestionably, the Republican Party as a whole has grown over the last twenty-five years. Along with the self-proclaimed “independent” or “moderate” voter, the GOP has seen its rolls swell at the expense of the Democratic Party. What has led to the expansion of the party, and therefore a fair amount of dominance... »

By Vincent FioreOne has only to reference the showing by some 500,000-plus legal and illegal Mexican aliens in Los Angeles last weekend to realize that the discussion regarding Immigration and its legality and security concerns is now “The” topic of discussion across America. But perhaps “showing” is too kind a word to describe what took... »

by Vincent Fiore        You have to laugh when you see once-upon-a-time UPI reporter Helen Thomas.  A creviced stump of a woman, she nevertheless goes toe to toe with anyone in the White House that happens to bare the initials “GOP.”        So, in keeping with the natural order of things–for it is rumored that Thomas... »

By Vincent Fiore        Regarding the recent misadventures of the Bush administration in relation to the running of several U.S. ports by a United Arab Emirates (UAE) company, here is a scenario that some on the left have breathlessly chattered on about:        While Cindy Sheehan and the Washington press pool were camped out on the... »

By Vincent Fiore It is almost impossible these days to open a newspaper or watch any of the alphabet-media empires without hearing President Bush or his administration cast in negative terms. On the cable outlets, the media castigation of Bush and the GOP only worsens, as the viewer... »
