If you thought that the “phony scandal” strategy was over, then you were dead wrong. Kicking off his move to pivot to the economy at Knox College – which has to be the tenth pivot now – President Obama cited those pesky abuses of power as the main reason why he cannot get his agenda through Congress. He’ll travel to Tennessee Tuesday to continue trying to frame this fall’s fiscal fights (Read the 4 Biggest Lies During Obama’s Speech At Knox College).

Americans Favor Late-Term Abortion Ban, But Liberal Judges Keep Opposing

July 25, 2013

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing the support for abortion, and Americans have favored a late-term abortion ban for years. In the wake of individual states pushing the 20 week ban the issue has once again reached nationwide notoriety. Now pollsters are starting to come to the result I have: liberals are way out of the mainstream on the abortion issue.

The latest Obama speech was more of the same, except for one little nuance. Now, he is still going to lie openly to supporters who could watch Obama murder a child and still think he is the best thing since sliced bread, but he is going to do it for a really long time. That’s called a “cult of personality” and it’s almost as pathetic as it is dangerous.

If You Side With Neocons Against Rand Paul, Then You Are Not Conservative

July 24, 2013

The fight has been there all along, brewing underneath the surface just destined to boil over during the 2016 presidential primary, or sooner yet in the inevitable instance that the Liberty Movement stood in the way of the neoconservative agenda.

Poll: Obama’s Job Approval Plummets to 41%, But Congress, especially GOP, Very Unpopular

July 23, 2013

Obama’s job approval has plummeted to the lowest level – 41% – in two years, according to the latest McClatchy-Marist.

How Secular Progressivism Manufactured The Detroit Bankruptcy

July 22, 2013

detroit bankruptcy

Contrary to the endless columns blaming the “model cities” initiative for the Detroit bankruptcy, in reality, secular progressives manufactured the conditions that could only have led to this bankruptcy long before the idea was ever conceived. To be sure, the “model cities” initiative accelerated and exacerbated the failures of progressivism in Detroit, and is a real-life manifestation of the failures of theoretical progressivism, but something much more fundamental and sinister has been at play for over a hundred years.

How Conservatives Should Lead On Education Reform

July 20, 2013

If conservatives want to appeal to more minority voters, while offering education reform to the current apparatus for the benefit of our children, then they need to do better than the incoherence they have exhibited in the past. The Republican Party, as a matter of policy, has praised top-down standardization, while placing an even greater emphasis on school choice.

Detroit Bankruptcy Was The Unsurprising Inevitable Byproduct Of Liberalism

July 19, 2013

The Detroit bankruptcy is the inevitable byproduct of liberalism and, if the GOP had half a brain, they would be plastering this message all over national television. Detroit filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history Thursday after steep population and tax base declines sent it plummeting toward insolvency.
