Alarming Gov't Programs Threaten to Confiscate Citizen Savings

The American Left Hates Americans More Than They Hate ISIS There are a number of compelling arguments to continue to allow Syrian refugees into the United States. A number of prominent evangelical leaders are making those arguments. But the American left is not. Though they favor bringing Syrian refugees into the country, they have decided that Americans are just a bunch of racists who cannot bear debate. The President of the United States has taken the tacit of claiming it is all political. To the left, everything is political so they cannot fathom that some Americans might have looked at the events of Paris and decided we might want to be more cautious. Nope. To the political left, it is polling, politics, and racism. Remember, this is a President of the United States who has claimed authority for actions based on polling. Willfully ignoring American opposition to Obamacare in polls, more than once the President has cited polling for other initiatives, including immigration. But on this issue of immigration of refugees, the public has decidedly turned against the President. The public, therefore, is racist. Read More

About that Backlash Violence Against Muslims Whenever there is a terror attack in which Muslims kill a bunch of non-Muslims, it seems that there is a cottage industry of university professors, journalists and other habitual leftists who go on television and wring their hands about the possibility of anti-Muslim backlash. The theory, I suppose, is that the thing we need to be concerned about is not the regular, ongoing violent attacks against Muslims towards non-Muslims, but rather that non-Muslims might say a mean thing against the Muslims.

New Poll Indicates Colorado Not High Enough to Choose Clinton A new Quinnipiac poll released today shows the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, could be in trouble in the swing state of Colorado. Clinton trails in the latest poll conducted in the state with a double digit deficit against all the top Republican candidates. Read More

Did ISIS Just Destroy the EU? As an idea, the EU has always depended for its survival on the internationalism of Europeans – western Europeans especially. Generally speaking, especially since the fall of the Soviet Union, that's an idea you could safely bank on – that most French/Spaniards/Germans would consider pride in their national identity to be a rather gauche consideration, especially in comparison to the promise of shared European prosperity.

The Syrian refugee crisis has raised a very real concern about the nature of the refugees that will be admitted under Obama's resettlement plan. While America has historically been open to refugees, it has also drawn the line at admitting people who are inimical with our institutions. For instance, we have banned anarchists and communists from coming to the United States at various times in our past. The refugees we will be accepting come from an area that is infused with terrorism and there is no meaningful way to verify much of anything about there refugees. Sure, the procedures look nice on paper but when it is impossible to verify virtually any part of a person's life story, the procedures become a joke. Read More

The Era of the Senator The esteemed Dan McLaughlin among others has promoted the idea that Governors are better choices for President than legislators are. And for years, the parties and the electorate seemed to agree. But with cable news and the Internet creating a perpetual conversation about national political issues, we're now seeing the rise of the Senator as Presidential candidate. I'm not saying Governors are finished, but the era of the Senator is upon us. Read More

Semi-Retired President Plays Internet Troll on Syrian Refugees President Obama has decided that he would like to allow more Syran refugees into the country. Generally speaking, I don't disagree with this policy and I think that an administration with even basic competency could make sure that they aren't, you know, bringing automatic weapons or grenades with them or anything. This is one of the benefits of not being connected to the Middle East via land. Read More

Trump: "I Had Never Even Heard of Club for Growth" Fact Check: False Politicians need to have thick skin in order to be able to be successful. We have been witness to President Obama for the last eight years. He behaves more like a tantrum throwing three year old than the leader of the free world whenever he is criticized. The current front runner for the GOP nomination (based only on polls as not a single vote has been cast) is even worse than Obama. There is nobody with thinner skin than Donald Trump.
