Flashback: President Lincoln Establishes Thanksgiving as a National Holiday
26 Nov 2009 
6:12 pm
It seems like more and more often, the true meaning of our national holidays are lost in an increasingly secularized liberal society. As my co-blogger, Gina Diorio, points out here, even our President doesn’t really “get” what Thanksgiving is about.
As a reminder, perhaps we should all take a moment to recall an event that occurred on October 3, 1863 that established Thanksgiving as a national holiday in the United States – President Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of Thanksgiving:
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.
The year that is …

Fidel and Obama: Perfect Together
25 Sep 2009 9:01 pm
You know you’re on the side of political wisdom and integrity when you’ve got Fidel Castro’s approval. This week’s latest words-of-Obama-adulation-by-infamous-America-haters came after the president’s speech on climate change during Tuesday’s United Nations summit:
The president of the United States admitted that the developed nations have caused much of the damage and must assume responsibility for that. It was doubtless a brave gesture.
It would also be just to recognize that no other president of the United States would have had the courage to say what he said.
I suppose we should …

The Obama Administration Did What?
20 Sep 2009 8:22 pm
I’m not quite sure what to think of it, but this might just be the least radical, leftist-agenda-pushing action I’ve seen thus far from the Obama posse.
The Obama administration on Friday urged a U.S. court to dismiss a lawsuit by gay married couples from Massachusetts who say they were unlawfully denied federal marriage benefits.
President Barack Obama won strong support from gays during his presidential campaign and has pressed for repealing the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that bars the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.
But the gay community …

Ann Coulter on Joe Wilson, “The Greatest Living Statesman”
11 Sep 2009 11:59 am
More on Congressman Joe Wilson: This is a must-watch. Ann Coulter is right on point about healthcare, while Bill O’Reilly beats around the bush defending big government. Ann defends Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for being one of the few Republicans will the boldness to stand up to the Democrats and their “chosen one.”

(Sorry, I can’t seem to properly embed this!)
Meanwhile, the Democrats are using this ridiculous incident to line the pockets of Wilson’s current opponent for Congress, raising $750,000 in emotional outrage. Republicans, on the …

Don’t Hate Him Because He’s Right
10 Sep 2009 1:17 pm
Just leave it to the self-righteous liberals to feign moral indignance, AS IF they were ever actually concerned about congressional decorum. Do I need to bring up the last eight years under President George Bush?

Rep. Bill Pascrell: I Don’t Know About Tort Reform
4 Sep 2009 4:52 pm
If New Jersey politics isn’t bad enough, try getting a feel for one of the most liberal Congressional Disctricts in the state. I was quite surprised when I learned that Rep. Bill Pascrell, Congressman of my very blue hometown, would be holding a town hall meeting on the Democrats’ contentious health care bill, as if to portray that a) he actually cared to address the concerns of his constituents, and b) he was ready and willing to defend the bill against its opponents. As it turns out, neither …

“Compassion” to Illegal Immigrants: Immorality in Disguise
18 Aug 2009 11:11 pm
It’s a controversial issue because it involves a debate over what is moral and immoral, but the argument for government-ruled compassion toward illegal immigrants is one that is dangerously deceptive (as just about all liberal arguments tend to be), unbeknownst to even some bleeding-heart liberals themselves. I know it’s nothing new, but I’m particularly peeved when liberals claim (false) moral superiority in their positions, which never amount to any more than a dangerously skewed perspective on right and wrong. And now, with the discussion of whether or not …

Joe the Plumber Endorses Steve Lonegan for NJ Governor
8 May 2009 12:19 pm
The event was scheduled for 7 o’clock in Clark, NJ this Tuesday. By 6 o’clock, I admit I was a bit nervous. The sun hadn’t come up all day, it was now starting to rain. Surely, this would put a damper on an outdoor cookout, even one that was featuring Joe Wurzelbacher (“Joe the Plumber”) and conservative rabble-rouser Steve Lonegan. Several hundred supporters were expected, but would they prove loyal even under these dreary conditions?
For once, I was truly impressed (and proven wrong) by the heart and …

Ann Coulter Leaves Joy Behar Speechless
6 May 2009 10:19 pm
I’m pretty sure this is the perfect retort to any liberal who dares to challenge the humanity of water-boarding. Joy Behar thinks she’s awfully clever trying to get conservatives to admit they wouldn’t want to be water-boarded themselves. Come to think of it, given our latest labeling as “right-wing extremists”, we may indeed need to prepare ourselves for the worst against the current administration.
But Ann Coulter would think differently:
Joy Behar: I want to know if you want to be water-boarded because Sean Hannity has volunteered …

Bill O’Reilly: 1; Keith Olbermann: 0
1 May 2009 6:04 pm
Eat your heart out, liberal media. Your hand-picked creation, Barack Obama, is America’s leader, Democrats just about have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress – and mainstreaming media is tanking like never before. According to Newsmax.com:
MSNBC and CNN’s primetime news programs have suffered an incredible nosedive in ratings since Barack Obama was elected president, Newsmax has learned.
Ratings for “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” on MSNBC at 8 p.m. have plunged a dizzying 42 percent since October, shortly before the election. CNN’s 8 p.m. show, now being hosted by Roland …

Reckless Flight
28 Apr 2009 4:07 pm
Of all the reckless, insensitive, brazenly wasteful and dangerous things to do, the Obama Administration is now responsible for “traumatizing” residents and workers in the New York- New Jersey metropolitan area.
Embedded video from CNN Video
The best part? That Obama’s Director of the White House Military Office did not even take the precaution of notifying New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg or the president himself that this “photo shoot” would be taking place.
Barely 100 days in office, and already I can’t keep track of how many times …

Tax Day Tea Party, New York City
23 Apr 2009 12:30 pm
I hope there’s such a thing as better late than never, because I thought I’d recap last Wednesday’s Tax Day Tea Party held in New York City’s City Hall. A week later, anyone who cared enough to attend a “tea party” should stay involved in order to ensure that the day’s events are not quickly forgotten.
All in all, I’d say the nation-wide event lived up to the hype. Over a million Americans gathered in cities to protest the recent string of enormous “stimulus” packages passed since …

The Democrats’ Best Kept Secret
19 Mar 2009 12:07 pm
In light of race having become such a highly discussed issue in recent politics because of Barack Obama and Michael Steele, I think it’s appropriate to point out a very overlooked fact that seems to be completely distorted by the average liberal: that Martin Luther King, Jr., ever invoked by the guilt-laden Democrat, was a Republican – registered and all.
It shouldn’t even be a question, considering the values he championed, the beliefs he preached, and the way he lived his life. And yet we constantly …

Norm Coleman Fights to Defend the Democratic Process
23 Feb 2009 4:44 pm
I know I’ve expressed this before, but I really don’t believe that the current election contest between Norm Coleman and Al Franken is being given its due attention. With the very principles of our democracy at stake, the only reason I can see for this lack of exposure is that the left wing conspiracy within the media is determined to help Al Franken steal a seat to the United States Senate.
Thankfully, Coleman and a few other loyal defenders of democracy are fighting to overturn this crime, but …

Bush Administration Foresaw Fannie and Freddie Crisis
4 Feb 2009 10:49 pm
I will never understand why Republicans didn’t fight harder – or at all, really – over the Fannie and Freddie Mac housing crisis before and after its ramifications turned our economy upside down. It’s not as if it was hard to see disaster approaching. And apparently many in the Bush Administration did. Unsurprisingly, their warnings were brushed aside by liberal legislators with either no understanding of or no care for our country’s economy.
Once again, Republicans have the opportunity to scream a loud “I told you so” to …

Ex-President Rivalry?
22 Jan 2009 10:42 pm
I can’t really explain why I keep watching this over and over, but I’m just fascinated by the unabashed pettiness and rudeness of former President Jimmy Carter (who, by the way, makes Bill Clinton look almost Reagan-esque) to fellow former president Bill and wife Hillary. Once again, it’s just another example of a bitter liberal revealing his true character. I guess we shouldn’t really be surprised.
How comforting that a man who once led the most powerful country in the world can so easily reduce himself to …

“Change” in Our Democracy: Keep Counting Until the Democrat Wins
9 Jan 2009 10:32 am
It’s been days now, but I keep hoping that if I wait long enough, someone will wake me up and tell me that this was just a joke. I mean, Al Franken couldn’t have won Norm Coleman’s Senate seat in real life – at least not in any rational, just world. And not in America, where democracy rules.
Either way, it looks like the joke’s on us. Welcome to “change” in America, where voter fraud is acceptable when it helps a Democrat steal an election; democracy …

Happy Hanukkah from the President
30 Dec 2008 11:18 pm
With a very long and rather painstaking two terms of the Bush Administration nearing its end, it’s nice to hear a few positive words about our country’s president being told. From a perspective that we seldom, if ever, see from the media, columnist Jay D. Homnick offers a few insights into President Bush’s character with a few stories from the White House. There’s nothing extraordinary or spectacular, but Homnick’s point is that Bush’s honorable, respectful treatment of the Jewish religion and people reveals that whatever the President’s …
