The Legacy of Busing
In the 2012 presidential nomination season, it is worth reflecting on that process forty years ago. In 1972, the Republican nomination was pretty much a slam dunk for RINO Richard Nixon. Contrary to what leftists would have us believe today, conservatives did not want Nixon to be president. Conservative Republicans supported Congressman John Ashbrook for the Republican nomination against incumbent President Nixon, and in the general election, another Republican Congressman, John Schmidt, ran as a third party conservative and more than one million conservatives voted for him in the general election.

President Obama and his administration's misplaced concern
President Obama and his administration are concerned that Israelis may launch a unilateral attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in order to destroy them and thus prevent the Iranians from attacking Israel with nuclear weapons in an attempt to obliterate the country and remove it from the face of the earth, as they have pledged to do many many times. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel will attack within the next six months, possibly as early as April, because after that a successful unilateral attack will be much more problematic due to increased Iranian fortifications.

Admission: Journalists are Liberals Not Interested in Facts and Truth
Polk Award-Winning Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings made a startling set of admissions on CSPAN, recently. Not only did he admit that most "journalists" are liberals, but he implied that they really aren't interested in just reporting the facts of stories. Instead, he said, they are filled with a liberal "moralistic righteousness" and their goal is to "afflict" those they disagree with.

IER Statement on Administration's New Fracturing, Oil Shale Regulations
WASHINGTON D.C. -- The Obama administration released today a draft of new Interior Department regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing that are designed to impose yet another layer of bureaucratic obstruction to full-scale development of America's oil and natural gas resources. Additionally, the administration released a plan to close public lands in Western states to oil shale development, effectively limiting access to a region that contain more than 1.5 trillion barrels of recoverable oil.

A Beating and Racial Slurs - but No Hate-crime Charges
Ah, the left-wing capacity for rationalization knows no bounds. While we're told that even substantive criticism of Barack Obama is driven by the hatefulness the left has dubbed "racism," a racial attack by three black teenagers on two white men in Philadelphia this past Monday is, somehow, not.

A Southern Black History Month Moment
The following story should be included during Black History Month.
A magazine article in 1989 caught my eye about a black child, a Confederate President's First Lady and the Southern Presidential Family. The story was written by Gulfport, Mississippi freelance writer Mrs. Peggy Robbins and is entitled, "Jim Limber Davis."

UK elderly are "wasting too many bedrooms"
London, England-In yet another outrageous piece of social engineering from our coalition government, pensioners will be encouraged to downsize to smaller properties allowing local councils to rent their homes out as council houses and manage the tenancy.
Local authorities will 'help' older people move from their homes into 'more suitable accommodation'. Grant Schapps, the Housing Minister, who is a conservative member of parliament claims the scheme will solve a so called 'housing crisis' as well as creating a system that will 'permit access to various sources of wealth' that are currently not being used to pay for care. Read that as the elderly will have to raid their pension pots and hand over the equity in their homes - which they have spent a lifetime paying for - in order to put themselves into a care system which is notoriously unfit for purpose.

U.S. intelligence chief warns of cyber "Cold War"
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate should pass legislation to increase cyber security--in both public and private sectors--since the country is involved in a "type of cyber Cold War," stated the U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Thursday during a congressional presentation.

A Free Market Solution
In her article, Three Cheers for Romneycare, Ann Coulter insists that Romneycare and its mandate was a Free Market Solution. Of course a government mandate to buy a product is not a "free market" solution, it is a slave market solution. Using a government mandate may be a market based solution but there is nothing free about it. The purchaser isn't free not to buy. The seller is only able to move the product through coercion and has to qualify with the government to be able to force-sell the product.

EPA, IG and EPA confirm need for increased transparency in permitting process
Link to EPA OIG Report
Link to Press Release
Washington, DC - Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, welcomed a follow-up report released today from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG). This report, "EPA Should Strengthen Records Management on Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit Notification Reviews for Surface Coal Mining," delved more deeply into findings from the initial November 2011 OIG report requested by Senator Inhofe that confirmed that EPA, through its own actions, systematically slows the pace of permit evaluations in Appalachia. These findings were concerning enough to warrant the Inspector General to instigate this follow-up review.

Obama's Attempt to Reshape Capitalism
In People of Plenty: Economic Abundance and the American Character, published in 1954, David Potter made a compelling case for the proposition that the United States is a nation whose national character has been shaped by the perception that there is limitless economic abundance. He argued that Americans believed that wealth could be created while Europeans believed it could only be redistributed. Americans and Europeans would both answer "I do!" to the question "Who wants to be a millionaire?" The difference was that Americans believed it was possible, with the right combination of intelligence, hard work, a little luck and good timing, to become a millionaire. Europeans held no such illusions.

Group stirs up Superbowl fever to support troops overseas
Sacramento, Calif. - For the second consecutive year, the nation's largest grassroots pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, is raising money for US Troops overseas with a special "FANTASY SUPERBOWL" drive to send care packages to troops in need serving in Afghanistan.

A Short Review of Obama's Agenda
What word describes a President who knowingly and deliberately decreases the nation's access to energy by stopping an oil pipeline that will not cost the taxpayers a penny and will generate 20,000 jobs?

Another Black History Month: the left's favorite time of the year
Alas, another Black History Month, or as the left likes to view it, their annual "Opportunity To Exploit Race Month." It is the month in which liberals attempt to convince us that race relations in America have progressed very little since the days of police unleashing dogs on civil rights activists.

Reclaiming Robin Hood
Maybe it's just a personal idiosyncrasy, but one thing that annoys me greatly is when people draw misleading or overblown historical analogies to try to support some argument they want to make. For instance, the way some writers try to fit American history into the mold of the Roman Empire - now we're in the Imperial Era, with George Bush as our Claudius, and Obama as our Nero, mourning the lost days of the old Republic.

Trump's Paper Tiger Rebellion Against Conservatives
In the spring of 2011, Donald Trump threatened to start a revolution within the Republican Party, appealing to the naive among Tea Partiers by promising to take on President Obama as no one else could. All too many members of the conservative media, including even some highly reputable ones, took his nonsense seriously.

Agenda-driven "science" at EPA
In December 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency released new Clean Air Act "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants." Once again, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson touted the supposedly huge benefits of controlling emissions of mercury (Hg) and other air toxics from U.S. coal- and oil-fired power plants (or electric generating units, EGUs).

Job Growth Should Be Stronger
The Obama Administration and the nation have cause to breathe a sign of relief as today's monthly jobs report shows 243,000 jobs were created in January. Those numbers are of course good news, another positive sign of recovery, and another clear indication of the enduring strength of the American economy and American economic system. But, really, so long after recession's end, we should be doing much better -- and would be but for President Barack Obama's debilitating anti-growth policies. In reality, the economy is recovering despite -- not because of -- Obama's policies. Make no mistake: 243,000 jobs is good, but we should be seeing numbers upwards of 350,000. America can and should do better.

Fool me twice
Former US congressman Robert Wexler is a man worth listening to. Wexler served as then-senator Barack Obama's chief booster in the American Jewish community during the 2008 presidential campaign. He appeared everywhere and said anything to convince the American Jewish community that the same man who sat in the church pews listening to Rev. Jeremiah Wright's anti-Semitic vitriol for two decades, and listed among his closest friends and associates a host of Israel-haters as well as former terrorists, was the greatest friend Israel could ever have.

If We Don't Win We Lose
America's slide from the forefront of freedom to the swamp of collectivist social engineering didn't start with the current manager of our decline and his Cavalcade of Czars. It didn't start with President Obama's favorite foil and arch-nemesis the man the Corporations-Once-Known-as-the Mainstream-Media love to hate, George Bush, the Younger. It didn't start with the Bush-Clinton decade + 2 of continuous government growth, its thousand points of light or its thousand points of light or its Hillarycare.
