Increase the Minimum Wage?

In his 2013 Inaugural address, President Barack Obama proposed raising the federal minimum wage a whopping 25% to $9/hour.

Does a certain law make sense and what […]

You know you’re no longer living in a free country when…

SIMON BLACKSovereignman.com You know you’re no longer living in a free country when the government tells you what you can and cannot put in your body. Or when an unelected board of bureaucrats and corporate insiders can confiscate the assets of hardworking small business owners. Yet these have become par for the course in the Land […]

Michelle Malkin: Amnesty Gang Throws Law-Abiders Under the Bus

President Obama and the bipartisan Gang of Eight in Washington who want to create a “pathway to citizenship” for millions of illegal aliens have sent a message loud and clear to those who follow the rules: You’re chumps! Have you patiently waited for months and years for the State Department and Department of Homeland Security […]

Obama Is Not King

Watching President Obama’s inaugural, I was confused. It looked like a new king was being crowned. Thousands cheered, like subjects worshipping nobility. At a time when America faces unsustainable debt and terrible economic troubles, why such pomp? Maybe it’s because so many people tell themselves presidents can solve any problem, like fairy-tale kings — or […]

Obama Lie – Social Security checks must be delayed if the debt ceiling is not raised

Let’s expose presidential prevarication. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama warned that Social Security checks will be delayed if Congress fails to increase the government‘s borrowing authority by raising the debt ceiling.

Why There Won’t Be Gun Confiscation in America

by Gary DeMar When some loudmouth spouted off about how he was going to do so-and-so to this guy or that guy, a guy who was really tough would often say, “You and who else?” or “You and what army?” An opposing force is only as effective as its ability to win battles. “In the […]

Al Sharpton: “People Do Not Have The Right To Unregulated Rights In This Country”

by da Tagliare If I had to make a list of the most dishonest, bigoted and despised people I know of, Al Sharpton would be very close to the top. He has made a career of creating racial hatred rather than trying to end it. He speaks from a very black biased and bigoted view […]

Do Gun Bans Curb Violent Crime? (Part 2 of 3 on Reducing Violent Crime in the US)

Who isn’t sickened by the moral decay and heinous acts of violence across our country? My heart and prayers continue to go out to victims everywhere. But do gun bans — such as the one proposed this past week by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., which would outlaw 120 specific firearms — curb violent crime? Not […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jobless Americans are paying millions in unnecessary fees to collect unemployment benefits because of state policies encouraging them to get the money through bank-issued payment cards, according to a new report from a consumer group. People are using the fee-heavy cards instead of getting their payments deposited directly to their bank accounts. […]

GOP: R.I.P.? – the Grave of the Republican Party

Cal Thomas: Some political commentators are dancing on what they believe to be the grave of the Republican Party, claiming that the only way the GOP can have a viable future is for them to behave like Democrats. Last weekend, National Review magazine sponsored a “conservative summit” in Washington. They should have held it elsewhere. […]

Not to Call Names, But… Rev. Obama ?

Paul Greenberg Somewhere in our president’s short inaugural address last week (it only seemed long), our newly re-elected chief executive paused to deliver a pious little sermon on the evils of name-calling — and for good measure, the evils of delay, spectacle and absolutism, too. The Rev. Obama crammed all those sins into a couple […]
