Michael Steele: Republicans at a crossroads
One of the hardest things to do in politics, believe it or not, is to standout. Sure you can go off and say something crazy; or even do something inherently stupid that will generate attention. But most politicians and political parties don’t want that kind of attention. I’m talking about truly standing out: to be [...]
Dear Glenn Beck: NRA gun, confederate lore has nothing in common with King
The National Rifle Association’s annual convention was quite the event this year. The NRA, which has been in the spotlight since the brutal murders in Newtown, Connecticut, seems to be redoubling efforts to resist any legislation regulating the use or sale of firearms. Reportedly having grown in membership since the tragedy, the NRA, which was [...]
Why we celebrate Cinco de Mayo
The Mexican holiday known as “Cinco de Mayo” is widely misconstrued in this country, even by people of Mexican descent. Other people do not seem to care about the origin and cultural significance of Cinco de Mayo, they simply see it as an opportunity to go out and get drunk on Mexican beer at reduced [...]
Our American Economy
By Glenn Mollette We can have a stronger economy by creating jobs in America instead of sending them to Mexico, China, India and other parts of the world. It’s time to bring jobs back to America. Business owners should be rewarded with a corporate tax rate of only 15% if they bring most of their [...]
Lateral Hazard: Tiger Woods still on track to catch Jack Nicklaus
It’s long been my thought that Tiger Woods is so comfortable at Augusta National Golf Club, that his game and his competitive soul were so bred to win green jackets, that he will pass Jack Nicklaus on the all-time majors list because he will stockpile two, maybe even three more green jackets en route to [...]
Leave Jay Z. and Beyonce alone
By Alice Krammer I never thought I’d mention Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and geopolitics in the same sentence. But the superstar couple is causing quite a stir by celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana, Cuba — a country that has been completely off-limits to American vacationers for more than fifty years due to that Cold War [...]
Taxes! Enough Is Enough
By Glenn Mollette I wish we could abolish the Internal Revenue Service and eliminate all taxes for every American. It’s a nice dream. I think we are stuck with taxes but we should not give up the dream of cutting taxes and continuing to be creative in looking for taxes that we can eliminate. As [...]
Don’t Blame Romney
By Ann Coulter We spent billions of dollars and billions of words on an election to switch from President Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House to President Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House. Every election predictor was wrong, except one: Incumbents usually win. Republicans have taken out a [...]
Obama Re-elected — 9-Year-Old Black Kid Can Breathe Easy
Brandon, a 9-year-old black kid, attended a campaign rally hosted by Michelle Obama. A cameraman interviewed Brandon, who was there with his dad. “Why does (Obama) need to win?” he was asked. “Because if Mitt Romney wins,” he replied, “we’ll be going back to the crop fields. We’ll be picking crops.” Off-screen, his father could [...]
Debating same-sex marriage
This week, the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to hear any more arguments on gay marriage. Appellate Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain’s dissent was scathing: “Based on a two-judge majority’s gross misapplication of Romer v. Evans, we have now declared that animus must have been the only conceivable motivation for a sovereign state to [...]
