Duke Over America

Greek rioters demand that other people be forced — in the alleged name of “compassion” — to pay for their lifestyles… or else those rioters will destroy their property and bash their faces in? If that’s “compassion,” count me out. “Atlas Shrugged” author Ayn Rand was right: “Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether [...]

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently suggested that the failed Times Square bombing might have been caused by “someone against the health care bill” — in other words, folks who oppose the Democratic Party’s recent hostile takeover of our nation’s healthcare industry. Ah yes, those dastardly tea partiers, with their — gasp! — peaceful [...]

Although I give one cheer to those states that are taking Washington D.C. to court regarding the unconstitutional mandate that all individuals be forced to buy health insurance, these states largely miss the point. Even if these lawsuits succeed, all states’ most economically-productive citizens will still be punished for what socialists view as the “crime” [...]

I encourage all individuals who value their unalienable moral right to speak freely to participate in Everybody Draw Mohammed Day on May 20th. I am not a Muslim, and as such, should not be expected by anyone to follow the tenets of Islam, including but not limited to Islam’s prohibition against artistic portrayals of Mohammed. [...]

As expected, Obama has announced yet another horrible nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. This time, it’s Elena Kagan, who admits that “Where I grew up — on Manhattan’s Upper West Side — nobody ever admitted to voting for Republicans.” Tellingly, the sheltered Kagan lacked the intellectual fortitude to shrug off her Moscow-on-the-Hudson leftist indoctrination.

Meddling bureaucrats in Santa Clara County, California have voted to pass a law preventing restaurants from giving away free toys as part of kids’ meals. No, I am not making this up: this is really happening in America, today. At its best, America stands for freedom — or, as it was memorably put in our [...]

During 0bama’s presidential campaign, he pledged — countless times — that he would not raise taxes on families making less than $250,000 per year. For example, on September 12, 2008, 0bama promised “I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax [...]

Following the passage of Washington D.C.’s hostile takeover of our nation’s healthcare industry — Cheryl Bachelder — the CEO of AFC Enterprises, which owns the Popeyes quick-service restaurant chain — commented that Popeyes’ franchisees would suffer a “bone-crushing” impact on their businesses due to the new law, and that “This is the worst time for [...]

Tiger Woods recently chose to resume his professional golf career on a private golf course (Augusta National, home of The Masters golf tournament), and this upsets leftist Martha Burk: “Inside the grounds at the Masters, I don’t think there will be any heckling or protests… if the media pursues the issue… it’s such a dictatorship, [...]

Republican U.S. Senator Tom Coburn recently opined that Speaker of the House — and key architect of the Democratic Party’s recent hostile takeover of our nation’s healthcare industry — is “a nice person.” Pelosi’s unending thirst to violate the unalienable rights of doctors, nurses, and their patients (and Americans in general) is nothing short of [...]
