Conservatism
Palin, Conservatism, And The Disconnected GOP
A close examination of the subtleties of the McCain political debacle reveals the truth of what heartland America was expressing during the past two major elections, and what the GOP needs to acknowledge if it is to turn the political tide back on the left. So far however, it does not seem to be... »
Who Was Nels Konnerup?
America honors its deceased presidents, its fallen troops, its late senators, and even its musicians and movie stars. But what about its veterinarians? Well, there’s one veterinarian who deserves pause for recognition. His name was Nels Konnerup. He recently passed away at age 92. Born in Everett, Washington on December 4, 1916, Konnerup was shaped by... »
George Schroeder, M.D.: Witness to the Wall and to Socialized Medicine
Dr. Paul Kengor interviews Dr. George Schroeder, a physician working in America and a brand new American citizen who was born and raised not far from the Berlin Wall. Today, Dr. Schroeder fights the fight for freedom, including a free-market healthcare system in America. He is eager to share his unique experiences as a... »
Lessons Learned From New York District 23
The American people overwhelmingly identify with conservatism, but no longer with Republicans, who all too often disavow any loyalty to it. Having vainly attempted to ingratiate themselves with the political “center,” GOP “moderates” lost touch with the conservative base. »
Can Republicans Pander Their Way Into Leadership?
Is this the great Republican strategy to turn the country back from its current downfall? Do Republican “leaders” really believe that the outrage from middle America over the thuggish nationalization of industry, banking, and possibly the healthcare field by Obama and his minions can be channeled into a boost for the candidacy of a... »
Liberalism Concocts “Bogeymen” While Ignoring Real Dangers
An epic battle is shaping up between the leftist federal government, and those peasants out in the American heartland who doggedly cling to the notion that the country belongs to them and their posterity. This contest promises to evolve into liberalism’s “Tet Offensive,” the outcome of which, they hope, will be a decisive victory... »
America Needs Democracy, Including Open Government
What America needs today is a democratic movement. It’s obvious that the Democratic movement for “Hope and Change” has failed. What’s so controversial about posting proposed legislation on the Internet for 72 hours to allow people to review it before a vote? Democrats oppose it. In my opinion, the major fault of the proposal is... »
“America’s Sheriff” Joe Arpaio vs. Obama Administration
Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff Joe Arpaio — hailed by many as America’s Sheriff — is under attack for cracking down on illegal aliens. The liberal-left politicians, activists and members of the news media are vilifying Sheriff Arpaio for his department’s immigration and crime sweeps in and around Phoenix. On Friday, government officials with the Homeland... »
Cyber Attack? Glenn Beck Exposes Obama’s Internet Takeover
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” – Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff. On Monday, October 19, top talk show host Glenn Beck will expose President Barack Obama’s latest power grab: control of the Internet. The show (aired on Fox News Channel at 5:00 PM EST) is a must-see... »
2010: Not The Time For “Faux Conservatism”
In truth, conservatism must be solidly based in traditional Judeo-Christian morality if it is to be conservatism in any sense. So-called “fiscal conservatives” merely profess the ludicrous notion that they can confront liberalism’s resultant social rot at a far lower cost than that expended by the Democrats. »
Obama Administration Investigates Hero Cop
Secretary Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security reportedly stripped Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio — also known as “America’s Sheriff” by many admirers who hail him as a hero — of his federal authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants based solely on their immigration status. The federal authorities under President Barack Obama wish... »
Democrats Are Bad For Our Health
Alan Grayson (D-FL) has become the class clown of Congress, beating out some very heavy competition. How can anyone take a political party seriously that doesn’t do as much for itself? Grayson ruffled feathers and spread glee among the partisan flock a couple of weeks ago when he made this claim: “If you get sick,... »
Europe Prefers A Presidency That Fails America
Surely, America could only succeed if Obama succeeds. This is the heart and soul of liberalism. But, like the rest of the liberal philosophy, it is fundamentally wrong. From the welfare state to the public school system to the various “family service” agencies that consistently peddle their poisonous anti-family agenda, it is liberalism itself... »
Conspiracy: Global Tax Next on Obama Agenda?
While the national battle over government-controlled health care is in its final stages, participation in a United Nations-run Global Poverty Tax is expected to come up for a vote in the US Congress any time soon, according to conservatives who fear it is a giant step towards handing over US sovereignty to the United... »
The Dollar at the Precipice
If you’ve seen the movie “Thelma and Louise,” you’ll never forget the ending: In the last scene, the two main characters head down a dirt road in their top-down convertible. The road dead-ends at a very high cliff. The last picture of the movie shows the car in a dramatic free-fall off the cliff. That ending... »
A Teachable Moment on Communist China
When I first heard it, I didn’t believe it. Alas, it’s true. Last week, New York City’s Empire State Building was aglow in red and yellow. Why? To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the victorious revolution of the People’s Republic of China—i.e., the establishment of Mao’s Red China. (Click here for photo.) I’m not kidding. This... »
“Got Hope?” The Theological Virtue of Obama
As someone who teaches and writes about international politics, I can confidently say that last week was one of the strangest in memory, from the G-20 circus in my backyard (Pittsburgh) to the political zoo at the United Nations. President Obama, of course, was front and center, including with a major speech at the... »
Case of Jailed Deadbeat non-dad Shows Need for Overhaul of Child Support Laws
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently ran articles on a case that should outrage any fair-minded person. Georgia man Frank Hatley was in a Cook County jail for over a year for failure to pay child support. However, DNA tests proved that the child in question was not biologically his. He had never been married to or... »
Rethinking Barack Obama
I once thought of Barack Obama as an evil man. Barack Obama dismisses his critics with the enthusiasm of a child leaving school for summer vacation. Perhaps we are not completely right about everything we say. Reading someone on the inside, especially someone who plays us with carefully practiced external behavior is a tricky business.... »
Ammo Shortage Linked to Fear of Obama and Democrats, Say Gun Owners
While the dismal economic picture in America hasn’t caused “bank runs” wherein customers demand to withdraw their savings from banks across the country — a frequent occurrence during the Great Depression — gun owners are causing a run of their own: a national “gun shop run” for ammunition. Ammunition manufacturers report their factories are producing... »
