In last night’s CNN debate, Herman Cain once again defined himself as a businessman, not a politician, declaring in his introduction that “I solve problems for a living.” Cain has continued to rise significantly in the polls. Monday’s Rasmussen Reports survey showed him with a 43-41 percent lead over President Obama and a Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll [...]

Why is it so hard for the Obama administration to comprehend the word “illegal”? If the Campaigner-in-Chief can handle a great big word like “redistribution,” what is it about “illegal” that he just can’t get? As reported by the Heritage Foundation blog The Foundry, last week’s announcement by the Department of Homeland Security would essentially “halt [...]

As President Downgrade proceeds with his fundraising, fiestas and blame game, GOP presidential candidates will take the stage tonight at the Fox News Iowa debate. At this critical point in our country’s history, it’s time to toss out the platitudes and talking points. GOP contenders, here is what Americans need to see and hear from [...]

I spend quite a bit of time calling out some on the left. I detest big-government policies that simultaneously snatch our liberty and rob us blind. I find class warfare to be profoundly un-American. I have no patience for leftists who demand civility while spewing hateful rhetoric, or those who insist that feminism, diversity, and [...]

Is Obama serious with this budget? – Greg A. What’s the matter, Greg? You’re not excited about adding roughly $13 trillion to our debt and at least $1.5 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years? You’re not psyched about a spending freeze that would lock in the President’s heightened spending levels from the [...]

I had a blast watching the State of the Union address, but that’s only because I spent most of it dancing around my apartment to the tune of “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.” The speech was no different from nearly every other oratorical endeavor by our Campaigner-in-Chief. It was a bundle of [...]

It’s almost 2011. In some ways, the “hope,” “change,” and “yes we can” shenanigans of the 2008 presidential election seem like they were born just yesterday. But the actions of a President who has added more to our national debt than George Washington through Ronald Reagan combined have been in progress for far too long. [...]

Have you ever sat on your living room sofa watching an Obama press conference or television interview, hoping for him to say something that would make you leap up with a big smile and applaud? I certainly have. That’s right, a girl can dream. On that note, I bring you my “Top Ten Things I [...]

Governor Chris Christie—who has commendably been a defender of fiscal responsibility in New Jersey—recently declared, “I think Delaware was a missed opportunity to have a really good U.S. Senator,” affirming that he was proud to have endorsed Mike Castle. Former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson wrote in The Washington Post that unlike Christine O’Donnell [...]

In a recent radio interview with Univision’s Eddie “Piolín” Sotelo, President Obama was quick to call out those “from the other side” for their “divisive and damaging” rhetoric. The only problem? His own rhetoric was a prototype of division at its best, right down to the labeling and stereotyping he appears to love so much, [...]
