Good for Franklin Graham! for 05/23/2012

Wed, 23 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700

Franklin Graham got it exactly right in his reaction to Barack Obama's official proclamation of support for the oxymoronic abomination known as "same-sex marriage."

He has "shaken his fist" at God, said Graham. And that's not something someone even pretending to be the president of the United States should do.

"It grieves me that our president would now a ...

Who Was the First Leftist? for 05/09/2012

Wed, 09 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700

Rush Limbaugh asked a question last week — and it got me to thinking. "Who was the first leftist?"

Rush suggested we ought to find him and string him up, but it's probably far too late for that — or is it? So who was the first leftist?

We could look at the question strictly historically and come up with answers: When was the term "left" as a politic ...

The Election Fraud Lobby for 05/02/2012

Wed, 02 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700

I'll bet you never thought about it this way before, but in America, we have an election fraud lobby.

"What do you mean by that, Farah?" you might ask. "Election fraud is illegal. How can you have a lobby to promote illegality?"

And that's really the point of this column. It's true that we have an election fraud lobby. It's a big one. It's a heavily funded one. ...

Live Like George Zimmerman for 04/25/2012

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700

I know that's a provocative headline — especially when all the facts on the Trayvon Martin case are not yet in.

However, as we learn more about this case, it is becoming clearer every day that George Zimmerman was not only defending himself against a vicious attack when he shot Martin, he was doing so while attempting to be a good citizen, a good Samaritan, watching out for his fam ...

What if the Prostitutes Were Male? for 04/18/2012

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700

I'm confused about this scandal developing over Secret Service and U.S. military personnel paying for sex in a country where prostitution is legal.

Would it be all right with U.S. authorities and the media if the same personnel had noncommercial consensual sex with women in their hotel rooms?

What if the prostitutes were male?

Exactly what is the current ethos for sexual im ...

Why Obamacare Is Clearly Unconstitutional for 04/11/2012

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700

You've got to hand it to Barack Obama. One of his two autobiographies was titled, "The Audacity of Hope." It's not as imaginative or as well written as his first — the one supposedly ghostwritten by Bill Ayers. But there's something to learn from it — even from the title. (You can pick it up very cheap at the World Net Daily Superstore.)

The first lesson of the book ...

To Boycott or Not To Boycott? for 04/04/2012

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700

With a stranglehold on America's cultural institutions, the political left is going in for the kill — trying to squelch the few websites, TV shows and radio programs that offer a different point of view.

What the left could not accomplish through legislative bullying — the misnamed "Fairness Doctrine" — it is accomplishing through its organizational and media ...

When Racism Doesn't Make News for 03/28/2012

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700

Like most people, when I read the trial-by-media reports of how Trayvon Martin was killed, it sounded terribly unjust, wrong and a tragedy of epic proportions.

It also sure sounded as if law enforcement may have blown it by not making an arrest. But when the race hustlers such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and race hustler-in-chief Barack Obama started exploiting the incident, I began to ...

Better off Than You Were 4 Years Ago? for 03/21/2012

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700

Do you know what a gallon of gasoline cost on the day Barack Obama was sworn into office Jan. 20, 2009? $1.84.

That's the last time we saw gasoline prices that low. They've been skyrocketing ever since — exceeding $4 in many locales and averaging $3.83 nationwide yesterday.

Food prices are up. Heating and cooling expenses are up. Unemployment is up. The number of food stamp ...

Why Only 50 Percent Reject Obama for 03/14/2012

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0700

There's some alarm and frustration among conservatives that only 50 percent of Americans polled in a Washington Post-ABC News survey disapprove of Barack Obama's performance in office.

To conservatives, the devastation Obama has wrought on the economy, on the Constitution and on the principles on which America has always stood is self-evident. They can't figure out why 60 percent or 70 p ...

How I Reunited the Beach Boys for 03/07/2012

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0800

One of the advantages of growing old is the chance to reflect on moments in your life that impact others.

This is especially true for journalists. I was thinking about this recently when I heard a radio ad promoting the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary reunion national tour.

I was always a Beach Boys fan; I guess from the very moment they had their first hit. Even though I grew up jus ...

Who's Really Obsessed With 'Social Issues'? for 02/29/2012

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

If you believe what you read in The New York Times or hear debated on CNN and the rest of the big media, the following is probably your reality of the dynamics of the 2012 election cycle: Republicans are having a problem connecting with voters because some conservatives are obsessed with "social issues" such as abortion and same-sex marriage and even something as widely accepted as co ...

Modern Israel: Greatest Miracle Ever? for 02/22/2012

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

If you believe the Bible, as I do, the return of Israel as a nation after 2,000 years is a greater miracle than all that occurred during the Exodus.

That's what God says in Jeremiah 16:14-15: "Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, that br ...

Obama's Divide-and-Conquer Strategy for 02/15/2012

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Barack Obama is a not only an abortion zealot, he's also a fascist control freak — determined to make government the ultimate arbiter of morality on all matters political and economic.

That's the only conclusion one can reach from his efforts to force individuals like me, institutions like the Catholic Church and insurance companies and employers nationwide to provide "free&qu ...

Vice President Rubio? Not So Fast for 02/08/2012

It's no secret that I was once a popular guest on television news shows and was virtually blacklisted after challenging Barack Obama's eligibility.

Networks and programs that once extended invitations to me stopped cold shortly after Obama was sworn into office.

If you want to fully understand the issue of constitutional eligibility, get Jerome Corsi's bestselling book "Where ...

What if Obama Wins, Again? for 01/25/2012

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

Many a pundit, not to mention Republican presidential candidate, have suggested the 2012 election is the most important in American history.

I believe that, too.

Defeating Barack Obama is a very important and challenging goal. I agree with those who suggest we won't even recognize America after four more years with him occupying the White House. Every American who truly loves the ...

Meeting the Ron Paul Challenge for 01/18/2012

HOUSTON — Following the inspiring meeting of conservative Christian activists last weekend, my biggest question about the 2012 election is whether Republicans are ready to meet what I call "the Ron Paul challenge."

By the Ron Paul challenge, I'm not talking about the threat of Paul actually winning the nomination. I'm referring instead to the impressive movement he has bu ...

Obama's Militarization of the Homefront for 01/11/2012

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

In July 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama vowed to create a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the U.S. military.

Apparently, no one else in the national press found that promise newsworthy, because I was the first to call it to the attention of the public days later. Interestingly, the pledge had been stri ...

I know there are many who are disappointed about the way the Republican presidential nominating process is going.

It's true that none of the top-polling contenders are "perfect candidates." It's also true that, as of right now, there is little certainty the Republican nominee will defeat Barack Obama. That's not what I had hoped to see at this stage of the presidential electio ...
