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

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -0800

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

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

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 ...

Good News About 2012 Political Prospects for 01/04/2012

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

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 ...

The Debt Limit: I Told You so for 12/28/2011

The panic stories haven't yet begun, but they're coming. Soon you will hear the familiar shrieks from Federal Reserve officials bullying against any opposition to raising the debt limit one more time.

The media, too, will be telling you there is no other option. To stop borrowing endlessly will result in death, chaos and an end to life in America as we know it.

Ron Paul Losing Me, Again for 12/21/2011

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

I was just beginning to soften up to Ron Paul. I'd even gone so far as telling interviewers I could enthusiastically support him if he got the nomination, despite the fact that he has no understanding of the single greatest long-term and short-term national security threat to the U.S. posed by radical Islam.

Even his inane answers in the most recent debate about how Iran poses no threat ...

Breitbart Learns the Hard Way About GOProud for 12/14/2011

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

I hate to say, "I told you so." Andrew Breitbart is learning the hard way what it means to be a conservative.

And it doesn't mean promoting a political organization that seeks to redefine a 6,000-year-old moral code or one that defines itself by its members' own peculiar sexual practices. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the long and the short of it.

Now that Richard Mellon Scaife is making a grand entrance into the GOP presidential nominating process by enlisting Donald Trump as a moderator for the last major debate prior to the Iowa caucuses, it's a good time to revisit the Newsmax owner's bona fides as a "Republican" and as a "conservative."

Co-dependent Republicans enable Obama for 11/30/2011

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800

I had high hopes the 2010 midterm election would really result in the kind of change Tea Party activists envisioned and worked so hard to secure.

It's time to admit the system is still broken. It's time to admit representative government is just plain malfunctioning. It's time to admit the Democrats are only a part of the problem and Republicans are not necessarily the solution.

I should have known better. Despite all I have witnessed watching Newt Gingrich during the many years he has led a public life, I started softening to him — largely on the basis of his debate performances.

I began to think I could live with this guy as president, which is almost understandable given the current squatter in the White House. I even said in a recent television appear ...

It's Time to Dump Grover Norquist for 11/16/2011

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800

To the shrill left, he's a pariah because his famous anti-tax pledge prevents new revenues from flooding into the U.S. Treasury. To most on the right, he's a hero for fighting for smaller government.

The truth about Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, is that he is neither of these things. And there's a growing awareness among real conservatives who would like to see N ...

Obama Audits Me. Who Will Audit Him? for 11/09/2011

As I predicted would be the case early on in Barack Obama's administration, I got my audit notice from the Internal Revenue Service last week. That's just the way it works in recent Democratic Party administrations — the IRS is used as a political attack dog against its "enemies."

During Bill Clinton's administration, my news organization was singled out for a nine-month ...

You may have missed it. It wasn't a big story. But recently, Mexico began a move to amend its constitution to declare adequate food as a natural right.

Last year, Brazil made a similar move. The United Nations is applauding this great breakthrough for mankind. "This is a great step forward for Mexico," said Olivier De Schutter, the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food. ...

Ron Paul's Got It Just About Right for 10/26/2011

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Rep. Ron Paul has offered up one of the boldest plans for returning the nation to a constitutionally limited government I have seen in my lifetime.

It's better even than what Ronald Reagan proposed in the 1980s.

Paul notes correctly that the U.S. government is spending in excess $1 trillion more than the revenues it takes in from income taxes, gasoline taxes, Social Security tax ...

I'm encouraged by the way the Republican presidential nominating process is shaping up. Yes, the guy who wrote "None of the Above: Why 2008 Is the Year to Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote" thinks there might be an actual choice in 2012.

In fact, I would say I could eagerly pull the lever for all but two of the candidates contending for the Republican nomination at this point. Bu ...
