Duke Over America

Recently, government school employee Rita Wilson complained to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie that she isn’t being paid enough given her “education and experience” — she demands $83,000 per year. Governor Christie’s response was excellent: “Well, you know then that you don’t have to do it [teach]“. Bravo for Christie’s willingness to stand up for [...]

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” [...]

Now I’m not going to pretend that I know a whole helluva lot about Wisconsin politics. I know I HATE the Green Bay Packers, but I’m a Lions fan and I hate the Pack because they have been successful and the Lions have sucked . I can admit that and I’m kinda ok with my [...]

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. [...]

Now I might get in trouble for saying this among my conservative brethren, but I think it needs to be said. I have a sneaking suspicion that Keith Olbermann would be a great guy to go to a ballgame with. I do, I really do. The only problem is his night time job turns him [...]

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 [...]
