The proper role of government was defined clearly in the original Articles of Confederation. The U.S. was to be a states’ rights Federal Republic with a weak central government with few explicit duties beyond maintaining a proper militia to defend the states. Congress would meet for only part of the year. And the one-term president […]
Obamacare is a Lemon
The Obamacare debacle should wipe out Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections. Obamacare is a lemon, pure and simple. Karl Rove writes that as time goes by, Americans like Obamacare even less. Political considerations have frequently dictated the administration’s actions on ObamaCare. For example, a week after Democrats were shellacked in the 2010 midterm elections, […]
House Members Needn’t Be Bullied on Immigration
A bad bill makes no sense, especially if it has not been carefully read by all who might vote on the bill. What does make sense today is to pass those common sense elements of the immigration bill that will allow talented foreign workers to remain in the U.S. in legal fashion. Just such measures […]
According to the Obama Administration, the Employer Mandate Is Suddenly No Big Deal
I must have missed the transition to irrelevancy. For my money, the mandate was all we heard of for months. What’s going on? The Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner lays it all out for you here. The Obama administration and its various apologists in the media have long since elevated excuse making to something of an […]
Isn’t President Obama on Unconstitutional Ground?
I recently heard the president brazenly proclaim that Obamacare is the law of the land. Well, the Constitution is clear on the law of the land, as the President calls it. Article. II. Section. 3. of the Constitution says, “he [the president] shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” I do not see […]
The Most Important Person You May Never Have Heard of Strikes Again
Few Republicans or Democrats are ever on the right track when it comes to foreign policy and the actual defense of America as intended by the original Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. Nope, politicians think in terms of offense (unwelcome, expensive, often unconstitutional, and rarely productive). The military is treated as a jobs program. […]
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi Has Been Ousted in a Military Coup
Writing in The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan outlines the historical track of American foreign policy. It’s hard to see where many lessons have been learned. U.S. foreign policy once seemed to make sense. We put vital interests ahead of democratist ideology. We stood by those who stood by us. We did not spend time inspecting […]
The Generals Are in Charge in Egypt
Muslim Brotherhood TV stations are being taken off the air in Egypt. Writing in the International Herald Tribune (reprinted in The New York Times), Tim Sebastian explains the stark lack of viable options for voters in Egypt. The generals’ plan is to bring Egypt’s politicians together, write yet another constitution and hold elections. Don’t hold […]

Foreign Aid to Egypt Should be Cut. There Has Been a Coup.
The Obama Administration sits on the sidelines dumbfounded, showing not a shred of leadership. Writing in The American Conservative, W. James Antle III outlines with clarity the action that needs to be taken. Existing federal law may force the U.S. government to do something previously proposed by Rand Paul: cut off foreign aid to Egypt. […]
