Focus on the Family CEO Jim Daly: "The Susan G. Komen foundation succumbed [Friday] to a relentless barrage of political bullying, a fact that is not only sad news for those who cherish the sanctity and dignity of all life, but also for all of us who believe that a private philanthropic organization shouldn't be subjected to such harassment. That the Komen foundation apologized for its decision to halt contributions to Planned Parenthood is another illustration that political correctness is running amok."

Open Thread: Ronald Reagan

Monday, February 6, 2012

February 6th marks the anniversary of President Ronald Wilson Reagan's birthday, a fitting occasion to honor the greatest president of the 20th century. The observance of this day provides a vital bond with our national heritage of Liberty, and those who have devoted their lives and fortunes to advance it. Long live the Reagan Revolution!

The Komen Kure?

Friday, February 3, 2012

In Friday's Digest under the Faith and Family section, our editors ran an item about the Susan Komen Foundation, the largest breast cancer fundraising organization in the world. Komen announced Tuesday that it was cutting off grants to abortion Clinics. Friday afternoon, after 22 pro-abortion Democrat senators issued a letter of protest, Komen announced they were reversing their reversal, and restoring funding to abortion clinics.

Read our analysis on the reversed reversal and give us your opinion.

On Tuesday, Mitt Romney was flying high after trouncing the other Republican presidential candidates in the Florida primary. By Wednesday morning, he was making remarks so boneheaded that Barack Obama's campaign staff could rejoice over ready-made campaign ads. The rest of us were wondering, "Did he really just say that?"

Defeating Obama's Socialist Propaganda

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, February 2, 2012

Barack Hussein Obama centered his recent State of Disunion campaign speech on the worn socialist refrain of "fairness."

Let's briefly review our nation's history in regard to Liberty, taxation and "fairness."

Political analyst Rich Galen: "Last week Mitt Romney got skunked in South Carolina by Newt Gingrich. Over the course of five days and two debates Gingrich returned a punt, a fumble, and an interception, scored on a safety and pinned Obama deep in his own territory -- everything an opposing candidate could have done within the football metaphors of Superbowl week. Then came Florida. Big. Diverse. Expensive. Romney and his campaign righted the ship and put the big hurt on Gingrich."

Economist Thomas Sowell: "'The politics of personal destruction' -- as Bill Clinton called it, and as he himself practiced it -- is not the way to solve the nation's problems. ... Poisoning the well of political discourse may be one of the reasons why we see such unsatisfactory sets of candidates for political office in both parties, not only this year but in previous election years as well. ... The time is long overdue to get serious."

In Honor of the Challenger Crew

Saturday, January 28, 2012

In honor of the crew and their families: "Today is a day for mourning ... a national loss. ... The members of the Challenger crew were pioneers. ... The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future." --Ronald Reagan

As the week wore on, we couldn't help noticing a common theme: Mitt Romney's taxes, Warren Buffett's taxes, Warren Buffett's secretary's taxes. In fact, Barack Obama built his entire State of the Union address around envy, virtually declaring it the long-lost, ultimate American value and pointing to the aforementioned supposed tax disparity as proof. The tax code is indeed a glaringly obvious problem. It pits every constituency against the rest, and Leftists are especially adept at exploiting that to wage class warfare.

Obama's State of Disunion

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, January 26, 2012

On Tuesday, Barack Hussein Obama recited what I hope will be his last tele-prompted State of the Union address. There was not one solitary free market economic remedy mentioned in his entire diatribe. Every "solution" was predicated on government engineering via intervention, regulation or redistribution -- consistent with his dogmatic Democratic Socialist ideology.

Obama's State of the Union: Then & Now

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

You may have been watching last night's State of the Union address by president Barack Obama, asking yourself, "Haven't I heard this before?" That's because it was awfully similar to his past SOTU rhetoric. The Republican National Committee compiled a video comparing Obama's 2012 SOTU speech with past years. Check it out.

Mark Alexander: There was not ONE SINGLE free-market economic remedy mentioned in Obama's entire teleprompted rhetoric last night -- every "solution" was government engineering by way of intervention, regulation or redistribution. Obama ended his recitation asserting, "We should all want a smarter more effective government." Indeed, on this we should all agree, and to that end, work tirelessly to defeat Obama and his socialist regime.

Jay Carney: Obama's Community Organizer Experience Contributed to Who He Is Today

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked by a reporter to elaborate on GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's accusation that Barack Obama shares the same vision as Saul Alinsky, the Chicago native community organizer.

Political analyst Rich Galen: "Newt Gingrich won South Carolina. Big. If you had bet me Monday morning you would own my house, my car and my cat. I thought Romney had a lock on South Carolina. But, this last week was the best political week for a major candidate I have ever seen. It was all Newt."
