Political Correctness Doesn’t Only Threaten Speech

Many, including me, have lamented that political correctness, especially on university campuses, is undermining free speech. That’s true, but I’m not sure that political correctness is the only culprit or that free speech is the only casualty. Most of us have heard about “white privilege,” “trigger warnings,” “microaggressions” and “safe spaces.” Let me provide rough […]

 



Karma for the Clintons at Last?

Hold on; we may finally be getting some fireworks in this lackluster presidential campaign — as the Clinton Foundation scandal seems to be gathering steam. Could the Clintons finally have to face the music for their adult-lifetime of corruption? Is it possible that Hillary Clinton’s lifelong scheme to be America’s first female president could be […]

 

Obama, the Worst President Ever, Except Maybe for Hillary

It’s one thing for “Never Trump” Republicans to criticize Donald Trump, but Democrats, the liberal media and pedestal-perched professors who have enabled President Obama and now support Hillary Clinton have no standing to do so. President Obama set out to fundamentally transform America (read: systematically destroy America as founded). Measured in terms of accomplishing this […]

 


Censorial DePaul Bans Conservative Ben Shapiro

The discerning have long recognized that the true enemies of free speech are certain leftist progressives who believe their ideas are so superior and their opponents so toxic that protection for the latter isn’t warranted. The left is practiced at painting conservatives as oppressive and intolerant, but their behavior repeatedly undermines their claims and exposes […]

 

Bernie Is a Mainstream Democrat

People often make fun of Bernie Sanders and his supporters, but with all this levity, we may be underestimating the seriousness of this political movement and what it signifies concerning our ongoing struggle for liberty. At first, no one took Sanders’ candidacy seriously. After all, he’s an unapologetic, card-carrying socialist who would have been laughed […]

 

OK, Hillary, Have Fun Defending Obama’s Record

Some Republicans are disillusioned with their party’s nominee, but imagine how rank-and-file Democrats must feel. Their presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton, not only is exceedingly unappealing in her own right but also seeks to fulfill Barack Obama’s third term and must defend — even champion — his disastrous record. Apart from Clinton’s own baggage — her […]

 

Encouraged by the Pence Pick

I believe that Donald Trump was smart to pick Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to be his running mate. All things considered, it’s an encouraging development, whether Trump picked him because he truly wanted him or he did so at the strong urging of his advisers. If he was Trump’s first choice among finalists, it’s encouraging […]

 

Obama, Clinton And Race Exploitation

Hillary Clinton, exploiting the venue of her appearance in Springfield, Illinois — where Abraham Lincoln warned against “a house divided” — told America that Donald Trump is not fit to lead in times of racial tension. This is rich, considering that she served under the most racially divisive president in American history. On the very […]

 

Obama’s Divisive Double Standards

President Obama’s knee-jerk reaction to the Dallas shootings brings into clear relief his biases and double standards on racially or religiously motivated violence. Have we ever had a president as blinded by his ideology and as oblivious or dismissive about his own biases and the double standards he invokes? If blacks or Muslims commit acts […]

 

Hillary: Guilty As Not Charged

It’s no mere academic question: Do we believe in the rule of law anymore? Are we a nation of laws or of men? The cherished idea of the rule of law in our system is about everyone’s being subject to the law in equal measure. The law, including criminal law, applies even to our political […]

 

No, Hillary, It Is Not Time To Move On

Am I fantasizing even to hope that Hillary Clinton will finally be held accountable for her lies and corruption — to say nothing of her actions in her role as bimbo-slayer for her libidinous husband? Perhaps so, but to borrow an underused cliche, hope springs eternal. Hillary has operated above the law for so many […]

 

Can We Harness The Worldwide Populist Movement?

It is hard to deny that there is a worldwide impulse against elitism, globalism, unaccountable regulatory bureaucracies and illegal immigration that is powerfully present in the United States and transcends the Donald Trump candidacy. The vote to leave the European Union won decisively in Britain, which doubtlessly shocked the elites and political forecasters. Populist forces […]

 

Free Condoms — What Could Go Wrong?

Remember when the left passionately insisted that public schools distribute free condoms to students on the bizarre theory that they were going to have sex anyway and we might as well make it safe? Well, the results are in, and the left isn’t looking too great. When this nation was first experiencing the AIDS scare, […]

 


Petulant, Partisan President Obama Needs a Reality Check

In my most recent column, I discussed President Obama’s disgraceful reaction to the Islamic terrorist massacre of innocents in Orlando. Not to be outdone by his own wrongheadedness, he one-upped himself Tuesday with another doozy. People often criticize Donald Trump’s personalization of political issues, especially through his tweets, such as when he tweeted, “Appreciate the […]

 

No, President Obama, Americans Don’t Need to Examine Themselves

President Obama’s predictable reaction to the latest heinous, unprovoked terrorist massacre of innocent citizens on American soil would be embarrassing if it weren’t so disgraceful. This man’s term can’t end quickly enough. There is just no excuse for Obama’s warped moral compass — the way he excuses the culpable. And his judgments are not happening […]

 




At This Point, It Should Make All the Difference

Hillary Clinton has been groping around for a campaign slogan. She’s just unveiled her seventh meaningless catchphrase. How about “Still lying and breaking all the rules”? That one probably wouldn’t help her campaign much — though with leftist voters these days, you have to wonder — but it has the virtue of being more accurate […]

 

If Everything’s Negotiable, Let’s Negotiate

At this point, I am not going to announce support for Donald Trump, though I am not #NeverTrump and am emphatically #NeverHillary. To restate my position without social media lingo, I would never vote for Hillary Clinton and, though I am right now uncomfortable with endorsing Trump, I anticipate — but don’t guarantee — that […]

 

What Would Our Grandparents Think?

Please join me on a whirlwind tour around the zany world of modern leftism. Many stops are available, so the following ones were just the first ones I saw. Seeing as President Obama and his fellow leftist ideologues can’t permit themselves to stimulate the economy by getting the government off people’s backs, they continue to […]

 


Trump Might Want to Rethink Snubbing the Base

Another week has passed and I’m still unenthusiastic about Donald Trump’s presumptive GOP presidential nomination. Instead of allaying our fears, he’s intensifying them — as if on purpose. Throughout the primaries I’ve expressed doubt that Trump is a reliable conservative, and my skepticism has already been vindicated. Yes, I’ve held my nose and supported RINO […]

 

The Jury Is Still Out

Where am I with the #NeverTrump movement? Well, I almost never say “never.” Notice I qualified that “never” with “almost.” I have said consistently throughout this campaign that I would support the Republican Party’s nominee. As the campaign has progressed, I’ve also said it would be increasingly difficult to honor that pledge. This has nothing […]
