Yesterday I wrote about 16 GOP Senators voting to begin debate on gun rights in the Senate. I noted that, in doing so, they had done nothing to violate the 2nd Amendment or any earlier statements of 2A support they had made. The vote was procedural and merely allowed debate. Some people understood the distinction. [...]
Yesterday 16 Republican Senators, including both Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker from Tennessee, joined Democrats in voting to begin debate on legislation expanding background checks on gun purchases.

Harry Reid’s gun-control legislation [...]
It is the kind of thing that can make a late-night talk-show host feel giddy.

Rand Paul excited conservatives, libertarians, and even some liberals with his filibuster performance on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday.

Due to the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama, the United States is officially a failed experiment. In fact, his election in the first place in 2008 signaled the end. Because so few of you people out there know anything about history any more, I’ll have to explain that opening line above. You see, the founders [...]

A website owned by the Washington Post, one that caters to African Americans, has a question about the upcoming debates. In yet another outrageous use of the race card, The Root wants to know if GOP nominee Mitt Romney will “reach out to racists” in the debates. Keli Goff ‘s Root piece is exactly as [...]
It might appear odd, but Huffington Post seems to be scolding the Democrats for having “caved in” to pro-religion and pro-Israel forces in the Democrat Party for succeeding in having God and Jerusalem put back into the Democrat Party platform after they were removed earlier today. Clearly proving that there is a great division in [...]

The law of averages is going to pretty much guarantee that while I might agree with what the core of a group says, [...]
One of the things that a vice presidential candidate has to be able to do and do well is be an attack dog for the ticket. The best VP candidates have both the credibility and the capability to severely criticize the other team. Even before being picked as his running mate by Mitt Romney, Paul [...]

On Monday former Arkansas Governor and former GOP candidate for President Mike Huckabee started his new nationally syndicated radio talk show. Unfortunately, his first “caller” hit quite a sour note starting the show off with a less than auspicious beginning.

By now, most all of us who follow politics have heard the collective barking over Mitt Romney and his dog, Seamus. Seems in 1983, Mitt saw fit to attach Seamus’ kennel to the top of his car while driving to a family vacation. I adore animals, including our clunky, slobbering, faithful doggies. And while I [...]
First it was then-Governor Mark Sanford. Now it is this: South Carolina Lt. Gov. Ken Ard resigned Friday amid a criminal investigation into whether he spent campaign money on personal items.
