The Islands of Lost Boys

For there is a large segment of our population who live their lives — and insist that the rest of us live ours — in a kind of fairytale land where wishing will make it so.

This question will become even more vital the nearer we get to November; do we want representatives of the real world, or those who dwell in fantasy land?

Obama Winks at Law to Allow Backdoor Amnesty

President Obama lets people break laws that he doesn’t like. The latest example is his backdoor amnesty for thousands of illegal immigrants, as a still-fuzzy but insidious picture is emerging.

Good intentions gone bad

The ADA was supposed to help more disabled people find jobs. But did it?

Strangely, no. An MIT study found that employment of disabled men ages 21 to 58 declined after the ADA went into effect. Same for women ages 21 to 39.

So typical of feel good legislation and knee jerk reactions to incidents

Something for nothing? Think again

The vision of getting something for nothing, or getting something that someone else has to pay for, explains why so many Americans are duped by politicians.

The bottom-line lesson is that if you think you’re getting something for nothing, or somebody else is paying for something you receive, you’d better give it another look.

Time to START Standing Up for America

The New START treaty is based on Obama’s foolish notion that the United States can create "a world without nuclear weapons." We have power only to create a world without American nuclear weapons, a condition that would make us a sitting duck for countries that have evil nuclear objectives.

A 13-story middle finger

What may surprise some people is that the American taxpayer is currently financing a trip to the Middle East by the imam who is pushing this project, so that he can raise the money to build it. The State Department is subsidizing his travel.

Our betters are telling us that we need to be more "tolerant" and more "sensitive" to the feelings of Muslims. But if we are supposed to be sensitive to Muslims, why are Muslims not supposed to be sensitive to the feelings of millions of Americans, for whom 9/11 was the biggest national trauma since Pearl Harbor?

Barack Obama is No Failure

By his own reckoning, Barack Obama is no failure. Even if he is a one term president, he has done damage that may never be repaired.

Cheapskating to Victory

Walker is one of the most compelling candidates running this election cycle. The son of a minister, he was elected Milwaukee County executive in the spring of 2002, in what the local newspaper called β€œthe grand finale of a taxpayer uprising.”

The Last Refuge of the Liberal

Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing.

The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama overread his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them.

Target: Redneck whites

The reality today is that if you’re a liberal – or Democrat or progressive or socialist or, dare I say it, communist – then you can call the opposition any name you choose, no matter how vile and without regard to truth.

That’s what we’ve come to, but the ultimate danger is that it goes far beyond a black/white division. Those who object to pandering to Islam and Muslims on the basis of the clear threat of militant Islam are called racist. Those against illegal immigration are called racist.
