Let’s knock off the silly political correctness, here, and admit what’s going in Wisconsin. The teachers are trying collapse the system. The National Education Association is a radical, political organization whose primary purpose is not education but control. Threatened with sensible legislation that protects the people of Wisconsin from unsustainable and unjustified retirement benefits, these… [Read more…]

Did you enjoy President Obama’s gooey nostalgia for the Happy Days of Eisenhower and Howdy Doody as much I did? Saul Alinsky warned radicals to “never go outside the expertise of your people.” But desperate times call for desperate measures, so Obama jumped the shark to the time of Potsy and Fonzie and Joannie Loves… [Read more…]

Many of the people who support eliminating state oversight of the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners are not conservatives. Decidedly not. There are some good conservatives who disagree over the Board of Police Commissioners for the City of St. Louis.

Democrats—from Jane Fonda to Senator Bob Brady of Pennsylvania—are pushing to ban words, phrases, and images they don’t like, as P/Od Patriot points out. Yes, we are living in very dangerous times. And the danger comes almost exclusively from the left. Democrat McCaskill calls for Americans to take up arms if Democrat tax increase fails. … [Read more…]

How many new voters has the tea party movement created? There’s reason to hope that first time voters will begin shifting to the right in 2010. There’s also reason for us on the right to worry. About 8 million people turned 18 since the 2008 election. While the left undoubtedly brainwashed many of them before… [Read more…]

Dana Loesch invited Dick Morris onto her radio show today. Dana expected to discuss START with Mr. Morris. But Dick has a mind of his own. Morris decided, about a minute and a half into a five-minute segment, that he wanted to talk about the 2012 US Senate race in Missouri instead. Specifically, he wanted… [Read more…]

It’s easy to wonder whether humanity has simply grown weary of life. Yesterday I noted the inhumanity of Christmas shoppers on Black Friday. For the past 24 hours, the world has watched the slow release of hundreds of thousands of classified US diplomatic cables. As I write, a gunman holds hostages at a rural Wisconsin… [Read more…]

Exit polling tells the story. About 60 percent of voters agree with the tea party core principles of government constrained by a constitution and government transparency. Well over half of voters agree with specific measures advanced in the Contract From America, including: 1. Balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. 2.

For 100 years in America, government, business, and the education establishment built schools and laws about education. The purpose of these government schools and education laws was to produce compliant, unimaginative, order-taking automatons. Don’t believe me? Here’s Woodrow Wilson, educator and president, speaking on the American plan for education: We want one class of persons… [Read more…]

For (at least) the past two nights, Glenn Beck’s program has been spell-bindingly depressing and eye-gougingly infuriating. He’s chronicled the Obama administration’s anti-Constitutional transfer of power and wealth from private Americans to other countries. He’s shown that the administration has no concern over the 2010 election because it has no intention of obeying the laws… [Read more…]

I approached the Rennick Park Pavilion with a heavy heart for three reasons. At least three. First, it was yet another night that I would not be home. And tomorrow’s first day of school.
