Political Blog Archive
 
In May, 2006, I was asked to write some political articles by The Huffington Post. Many of my articles also run in RealClearPolitics.com (RCP), National Review Online (NRO), PoliticalMavens.com and other sites. They are all archived here.

This section is for my political articles (though I throw a “culture” piece in occasionally). Feel free to comment. Whether you agree or disagree, I’ll put your comment up – Just try and keep it somewhat civil.

The article of mine that has been most read is "Why I Left The Left".
After it came out, I got an invitation to The White House.

I write my thoughts and ideas in the Personal section. My favorite quotes from over the years (plus a few I’ve written myself) are in the Quotes section.

It's No Wonder that the People Are Angry!
In response to the outrage at the Leftist Congress that has been voiced by ordinary Americans in Town Hall events around the country, the Democrats have opted - typically - not to address the peoples' concerns, but rather to demonize those who get in their way.

Well, now, Dana Milbank, a liberal writer for the liberal Washington Post, even admits that most of the anger in the U.S. comes from the Left.

The Anti-Free Speech Left is Becoming More Fascistic

It Doesn't Get Better Than Ann Coulter

I know she ruffles all the feathers on the Left but she does it so exquisitely --love her! Her takedown of that true twerp Olbermann is so well executed. I had an experience with him: he's a bad guy. He doesn't deserve any space on my blog, but this is really about how good Ann is:

Us vs. Them

What most in the western world -- certainly not liberals -- do not understand is that Israel, the United States, France, Great Britain and now Iraq and Afghanistan are all part of the same, important idea: that all men are created equally and born to live freely.

Why Should Obama's Poor Choices Surprise Anyone?

Candidate Obama chose to be friends with William Ayres, the unrepentant terrorist. Yet, the Leftist media thought it was more important to "vet" Bristol Palin's boyfriend's family.

It's Official: Obama is Jimmy Carter, II

Obama showed us, with the early lines of his Inaugural address, that he is Jimmy Carter:

"Less measurable, but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights."

"CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE" anyone?

Her ability to drive the Left into apoplectic fits is just one reason to delight in Ann Coulter. Her ability stems from the willfully blind Left's belief that the 'truth' according the Right is "divisive." Enjoy Ann's latest little bit of truth:

Israel Must Resist the Coming Obama-Clinton Onslaught

Upon taking office, President Obama will push hard for the ridiculous (for Israel) "Saudi Peace Initiative," which asks for Israel to give up the land that it won in the 1967 war, in return for peace with the Palestinians and other Arab neighbors who have yet to make peace with Israel.

Iraq is Succeeding

This from the eminent military historian, Victor Davis Hanson:

Iraq and the General War on Terror [Victor Davis Hanson]
How odd (or to be expected) that suddenly intelligence agencies, analysts, journalists, and terrorists themselves are attesting that al-Qaeda is in near ruins, that ideologically radical Islam is losing its appeal, and that terrorist incidents against Americans at home and abroad outside the war zones are at an all-time low--and yet few associate the radical change in fortune in Iraq as a contributory cause to our success.

On Obama

Obama is a creature of the far left -- I actually think that he has strong Marxist leanings. Mainstream Democrats are convincing themselves that he stands for "non-divisiveness" -- a "new" kind of politics. In reality, he's the same-old, same-old. The "game" hasn't changed. The way in which he played the Pastor Wright affair was PURE politics.
