The late Republican political strategist, Lee Atwater, a brilliant Machiavellian, used to invoke what he called “The Napoleonic Maxim:†Never interfere with the enemy when he’s in the process of destroying himself. If Atwater were alive today, how would he advise conservative Republicans in responding to the “healthcare reform†being pushed by President Obama...

Allegation has become the fiat currency of social and legal power over men, and it is working in spades. Corporations cave in, shrinking from the bad press of lawsuits that go to trial. Prosecutors that cannot politically afford to be seen as soft on crime, or hard on women, run innocent people through with...

The healthcare reform bill pending in Congress is called “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act.” It is supposed to provide “affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending.” Unfortunately, rather than reducing the growth of healthcare spending, it is likely to increase it. And if the plan leads...

By Dr. Warren Throckmorton & Dr. Paul Kengor As Sonia Sotomayor was readying for her confirmation hearings, The New York Times Magazine cast a loving gaze toward the lone female Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In so doing, the Times inadvertently shed light on some remarkable thinking by Justice Ginsburg. Those thoughts are...

Desperate States and Decaying Federalism By Dr. Mark W.

A recent Rasmussen poll shows that Americans still overwhelmingly consider themselves conservative. Sarah Palin can connect with that segment of the population, motivate and inspire it to action. In such a political climate, no excuses suffice for a party that professes to be conservative, yet is devastated at the ballot box as badly as...

Government intervention in medicine is wrecking American health care. Nearly half of all spending on health care in America is already government spending. Yet President Obama’s “reforms†will only expand that intervention. Prior to the government’s entrance into medicine, health care was regarded as a product to be traded voluntarily on a free market–no...

The last thing we need in the midst of our current recession is what happened last Friday: the third increase in the minimum wage in only two years.

Over time Obama’s vision for America has materialized. It is an ugly picture. Fantastic promises of lavish government provisions for every citizen (and non citizen) eventually reveal themselves to be a well-crafted veneer overlaying bureaucratic nightmares from which no law-abiding citizen can hope to escape.

Quick, what’s the capital of Honduras? Probably fewer than 10 percent of Americans could answer that question prior to the recent news that Honduran President Mel Zelaya was sent packing to Costa Rica by the Honduran military.
