Dirty Harry Norquist, president of Americans For Tax Reform (atr.org), has never seen a tax increase he supports, which should immediately put him at the head of the line for a Presidential Medal of Freedom once Mitt Romney is elected. If there was a Hall of Fame of Common Sense, a huge statue of Grover Norquist would at be the front door. Read More

Yogi Berra said that when you come to a fork in the road, take it. When supposed-conservative Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. came to a judicial conservative-liberal fork in the road, he veered left Read More

In a sea of soulless, sheeplike dependency, it’s easy to spot the fiercely independent people who continue to declare our independence. We are the producers, the people who make the country work. We are business owners and hardworking employees. We are fiercely American; we believe in self-reliance and rugged individualism. Read More

There is so much good news that goes largely unreported that it makes me want to scream. As I write this, just a couple of days ago, a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix who was watching his three siblings at home shot a punk who busted through a door and pointed a gun at the young man. Read More

The one thing you will never have to remind me of is how fortunate and blessed I am, or I should say, how fortunate all of us are to live in the greatest nation the world has ever witnessed. Read More

Due to ever-shifting demographics, Americans of Latin descent are being courted by both the Republican and Democratic parties. The party that wins their support will be in the political driver’s seat come November. The Democrats currently own that seat. Read More

I recently had a nice conversation with my friend, ultra-left-wing comedian Bill Maher. He wants me back on his television program to explain why I am so angry with the Obama administration’s policies. Read More

Freedom isn’t free. Never has been, never will be. Very special warriors have provided freedom at supreme sacrifice since time immemorial. Read More

Tens of thousands of young people will soon toss their graduation caps into the air and begin their pursuit of their own unique American Dream. That’s cause for grand celebration. Read More

Will the last American left in California please turn out the lights? And don’t let the door slam you in the behind. California isn’t going broke. It’s already broke and is $16 billion in the hole. Read More

Not a day goes by when an American outdoorsman doesn’t confide in me that because of the increasingly complex, illogical hunting and fishing regulations across the nation, it would not surprise him if he had unintentionally violated a game law at some point. Read More

Here’s a painful yet inescapable statement of the obvious to people with common sense and a lick of reality: Poor people are poor because they make poor decisions. That’s the root cause of poverty. Read More

If all of America were just like the great families at the National Rifle Association’s 141st annual members meeting in St. Louis last weekend, our country would be flawless. Surrounded by my family, friends, patriots, law enforcement and military heroes, veterans who have sacrificed dearly for freedom and the U.S. Constitution, the good will and positive energy in the air was cleansing, to say the least. We set another attendance record for the NRA and for St. Louis. It was downright perfect. Read More

With an election on the horizon, President Obama and his administration are employing age-old political diversionary tactics to keep the American public from focusing on the dismal condition of our economy. Call in a four-alarm fire on the south side while they rob the bank on the north side. Al Capone lives. Read More

When names are kicked around as to who would make a good running mate for former Gov. Mitt Romney, I can think of many great Americans for the job. Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, John Thune, Paul Ryan, Mike Rogers, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Darrell Issa, Louie Gomert and others come to mind. Read More

Oftentimes, a 500-mile auto race is decided in the last couple of miles, sometimes the last lap. The first 495 miles are a survival-of-the-fittest endurance test of mechanical genius, unbelievable driver skill and concentration, masterful pit crew logistics that are measured in seconds, and luck - lots of luck.

After much soul-searching and due diligent research, I endorse Gov. Mitt Romney to be the GOP nominee for president because I believe he is the best man to chart a course for renewed American prosperity. Read More

Just as the homosexual community has co-opted the word “gay,” various leftists, socialists and Marxists have co-opted the word “progressive.” Words mean things. If you read the definition of “progressive,” conservatives and the Tea Party are the real progressive force in America, as we are the ones advocating substantive upgrade, improvement and reforms in the stinky, status-quo swamps of Washington.

Gather around, boys and girls, for another quick lesson in real-world Nugenomics 101. Not “if” but “when”gas prices soar to four bucks a gallon this summer, the impact to our economy will be thunderous. Read More

The Internet is full of health-related studies and articles. Most of them provide similar, age-old wisdom: Eat right, exercise and don’t smoke. There are no guarantees, but following this timeless advice generally leads to a longer, healthier life.

Another great talent has been silenced, probably because of abusing dope or booze and the criminal, irresponsible lifestyle that goes with that insane behavior. What a waste.

President Obama’s decision to put a bullet in the back of the head of the Keystone XL pipeline is all the proof you need to know that his modus operandi is to sidle up to environmental green-energy crackpots instead of creating thousands of American jobs and honestly pursuing energy independence for America.

Here is how I see the GOP primary race shaping up: This is by no means an endorsement of any of the four GOP candidates. I am impressed with each of them for a variety of reasons and adamantly believe that any one of them would be monstrously superior to President Obama, who has charted a course for the destruction of America as we know it.

By the time you read this, Mitt Romney may have released his tax returns. Let’s hope not. So long as Mr. Romney or any other prospective or elected public official has not made his money illegally, no person’s financial status is any of my business or yours.

The United States of America has turned into bizarro land. Think of this: Our very own Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under the direct guidance of the attorney general of the United States - America’s top cop, mind you - not only allowed, but encouraged American gun dealers to sell about 2,000 guns to known punks involved in the drug trade in order to trace the guns to Mexican drug cartels.

When the truth comes out, and if Mr. Romney becomes the GOP nominee, the reality of which candidate has caused the most damage to jobs and the economy will be a no-brainer. Read More

Big business, especially big oil, rarely gets a public acknowledgment of thanks or nod of approval for its corporate stewardship, conservation efforts and vision. BP deserves our thanks for what it has done in the Gulf so far and what it already has pledged to do in the future. Read More

Diversity is an intentional left-wing disaster and destructive platform. The result of the left’s efforts to force this cultural rot on America is that there is more cultural rot, more social and racial division and less economic activity. Read More

Constitutionally, we are required to pay congressmen something, but the Constitution doesn’t say how much. Insanely, Congress itself determines how much ilts members get paid. The mob could take lessons from Congress. Read More

As I do every year, I’m going to make 2012 a bold, wonderful year. Let all Americans who care commit to being like the majestic American bison that turns and faces the howling storm. Read More

What Mr. Ortiz did, then what Mr. Schulmeister did and others are doing is proof positive that the Christmas spirit is alive and well in America. Even in Detroit. Read More

Corzine the Corrupt didn’t miss a beat. Losing investor cash because of risky ventures is one thing, but not being able to account for $1.2 billion is quite another. Read More

America’s current economic model is analogous to Captain Smith of the Titanic being told the ship will, not might, hit an iceberg, but ordering the Titanic full speed ahead anyway. Shuffling the deck chairs won’t stop the coming collision. Read More

Let’s be clear: “Black Friday” is an amazing, soulful Steely Dan song, not the day after Thanksgiving to stand in line at 4 a.m., waiting for a store to open. Read More

If we cared, truly cared, any and all priests and other church officials who for decades swept this vile abuse under the rug would be in prison, as they are all complicit and should have been charged with numerous felonies. Read More

America has embraced big government for decades. Embracing Fedzilla’s anti-free-market principles has been and will continue to be a job killer. It is the uneducated and unskilled who are feeling the most pain. Read More

The United Nations pays lip service to basic human rights at best. They are worthless, probably because voodoo extremists and human rights violators are given credence by the United Nations. Read More

He wouldn’t even have had to do that. A quick review of the GOP contenders for president would have enabled him to see that Herman Cain, a black contender, enjoys substantial support by the very Tea Party that Mr. Freeman claims is racist. Mr. Cain just recently won a straw poll in Florida. Read More

National Hunting and Fishing Day should be a day celebrated every year by all Americans. In order to celebrate something, however, you need to know that it exists. The outdoor community has failed miserably at informing you of this good-news story. What a shame. Read More

Adopting this simple idea would slowly phase out the Social Security slush fund and incentivize younger Americans to save for their retirement. Do I smell a declaration of independence and personal accountability? Read More

The president claims to have launched an initiative to cut Fedzilla red-tape regulations. The result of this initiative will be zilch. In fact, the illogical, counterproductive regulations that stifle growth in the free market are on the rise under the Obama administration. Read More

Should we fail to study our history and remain vigilant, we will be emboldening terrorist vermin to plan and implement another attack similar to Sept. 11. That is a risk we cannot afford. Read More

Extinct among these goons is any sense of what once made America great. Gone are the independent, strong-willed, pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps people who thought the basic role of the federal government was simply to protect them from invasion by another country. Read More

The history of mankind is one of warfare, not peace. You don’t have to like that, but you do have to admit it. Knowing that it is true, it is fundamentally devious to weaken our military as is proposed in the new Con Job Debt Reduction Agreement. Read More

The financial lookouts are warning us that we are headed for Greece-like doom with our berserk addiction to borrowing and spending. Higher interest rates and inflation are coming first. Read More

It’s not that our children are dumb, but rather that they are tossed into a dumb, antiquated system that is controlled by one of the largest and most powerful unions in the nation, the National Education Association (NEA). Read More

Unions continue to demand more compensation for less productivity or quality control. The list of jobs Americans are not willing to do gets longer by the day as soylent-green foreigners continue to kick our butts because they don’t allow such a list. Are you kidding me? Read More

“Saving the Bill of Rights” is not just the title of a great book. It should be the battle cry of America. Read More

At its core, the U.N. is not about promoting freedom and liberating people by killing bad guys. It is about controlling people by limiting their ability to defend themselves against tyranny and slavery imposed by evil and maniacal regimes. Read More

Economic train wrecks are caused by politicians who either intentionally implement kamikaze economic policies to gain more power or believe Fedzilla should have even more control over our lives, or a combination of the two. Either way, an economic train wreck is sure to occur. And so it has. Read More

The Tea Partyers have it right. They understand that our republic can only be saved by advocating the very principles, vision and ideals of those men and women who risked their lives, sacred honor and fortunes to give birth to America. Read More

Many young college graduates are moving back in with their parents because of limited job opportunities. That should send a clear warning to them that all is not well - not well at all. They would be wise to spend some time researching why this is so. Read More

We need to make prison painful, ugly and supremely uncomfortable. We need to make it so that anyone who has spent any time in the slammer never wants to return. That’s real rehabilitation. Read More

Either the Obama administration does not know its history or it intentionally wants to kill off the nation’s private sector. It might be a little of both. Read More

With Rick at the helm, Texas is business-friendly, resulting in a booming economy compared with most other states. Texas has created more jobs over the past couple of years than any other state. If you want a job, come to Texas. Read More

Bin Laden was a terror figurehead, but he was hardly in control of the decentralized international terrorist cells and lone jihadist wolves who are busy planning more death and destruction in the name of Allah. Read More

The media despise anything that smells of conservatism. Such is the reasoning they have insinuated the Tea Party is full of ignorant racists, conservatives don’t care about the elderly and that energy companies rape the environment for profit. The list goes on and on. Read More

-
The president knows nothing about what it takes to start and operate a successful business, yet he has the presidential audacity to spit in the face of the very people who create and provide jobs for Americans and who already pay more than 90 percent of all federal income taxes. Read More

-
The billions that will be spent on the upcoming political campaign are not targeted at me. The money will be spent trying to convince so-called moderates to cast their vote a certain way. Read More

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if Mr. Bryant threatened to resign from the NBA over this? The amount of money the NBA would lose without Kobe Bryant helping to pack the stands would be staggering compared with the politically correct $100,000 fine levied on him. Read More

We don’t need to ween ourselves off oil. What we need to do is purge ourselves of Mideast oil that is controlled by robe-wearing, voodoo-entranced OPEC mobsters. Read More

-
Mr. Gohmert is dead-on accurate that Fedzillacare is a disaster and everyone knows this except Fedzillacrats and bloodsucker Obama supporters who want something for nothing. Read More
|
-
The Obama administration is backing all of the Mideast rebellions. From Egypt to Libya, there’s not a word of caution from the Obama administration about these rebellions; not a word of caution about what the new political environment will be if the rebellions succeed. The president’s radical America-hating chums obviously continue to influence their community organizer. Read More

The evil Col. Moammar Gadhafi, the vicious dictator of Libya, is killing Libyans who want to string him up and replace him. Read More

Before long, the question “Can you tie your shoes?” will bedeemed racially insensitive. Read More

It boggles the mind to try to comprehend someone showing up with a nonlethal beanbag gun when it is widely known that human traffickers and drug smugglers and other assorted subhuman debris are often heavily armed. Common sense reels in disbelief. Word has it that logic is now on the endangered species list. Read More

We have the most expensive, bureaucratic health care nightmare in the history of the world. Medicare and its twin, Medicaid, are dying because they are on an unsustainable financial-suicide path. Even a third-grade kid flunking math can see this. Read More

-
Instead of respecting the voters’ desire for frugal fiscal policies that make abundant sense, Democrats in Wisconsin and Indiana have run away and tried to take their political ball with them. They are emboldened by teachers who call in sick and various other loudmouthed, pro-union hacks and stooges. Read More
|
-
In case you haven’t been paying attention, the National Education Association (NEA) isn’t about what’s good for children, it is all about how much teachers can get away with. Read More

-
The president is finally saying many of the right things - there is too much government regulation, business taxes are too high, it’s important to let the free market grow the economy. His problem is that he doesn’t do anything about it except talk and periodically tour a handpicked company. That dog won’t hunt.

Mr. Obama‘s most fundamental mistake was believing his own hype and press - that America had given him a mandate to swing the country far to the left. That rookie mistake has been tremendously costly. Claiming to study Reagan is putting a Band-Aid on a gaping political wound. Read More

-
We must have the guts and national resolve to remove the crushing tax burden of this Ponzi scheme from the backs of future Americans. Only Fedzilla and Bernard Madoff think robbing Peter to pay Paul is good business. Read More

-
All good things come from effort. This is why any able-bodied person receiving welfare, unemployment or other financial assistance from Fedzilla, a state or county should do something to earn it. Read More
|
-
Mr. Obama spoke about new investment in clean-energy technology and other sectors. When you hear politicians speak of “new investments,” watch your wallet. New investment are code words for more borrowing and spending, which is exactly what is burying our economy and killing our future.

There are many of us who want Fedzilla completely out of our health care, but we are being forced to adopt Fedzillacare rather than abort it. Those of us who want to abort Fedzillacare will get our day in the Supreme Court, too. Read More

We can dream that just as he challenged us to rise above bigotry, King would lead marches on public schools and condemn them for caring more about teacher tenure and teacher unions than student graduation rates. Read More

Regardless of political stripes, all Americans should refuse to allow the actions of a psychotic mad dog to dictate how we conduct ourselves in the political arena, where political debate has always been spirited, hot and sometimes nasty. Read More

Rugged individualism, that glorious, animal can-do spirit, perseverance and self-reliance are anachronisms for today's dependent, weak, wuss Americans. Read More

In my own way, I will tell them that Americans donate millions and millions of dollars to various charities and organizations in hopes of providing a better life for someone else. I will tell them that it is because of the spirit of Santa Claus that they donate their money even when some can't really afford to give any money. Read More

Jefferson didn't stop with his fortune-telling of Fedzilla, as he wrote: "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."

I can't think of a singular real achievement of the DOE. Not one. Same goes for the Department of Education, Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor.

The destruction feral cats have wrought on songbirds, other mammals and critters is catastrophic, no pun intended. Feral cats prey not only on songbirds but also on game birds, rabbits, squirrels, gophers, mice, shrews, voles and other critters that are food sources for wild predators such as foxes, birds of prey, coyotes and bobcats.

No doubt that the Oracle of Omaha is an investment guru, but instead of penning an Op-Ed thanking Fedzilla for saving itself from itself, it would have been much more enlightening if he had shared his thoughts on how Americans should and could dig ourselves out of our ever-deepening financial hole.

I spoke with U.S. Marine Sgt. John Blank yesterday at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, where this American military hero is recovering from the loss of both of his legs and near-loss of his left arm. He is my hunting buddy, but he also is my hero. Read More

First, some obviously bad news: Someday, we are all going to assume room temperature. Now even more bad news: Medicare pays and pays and pays to keep people alive as long as possible. I'm a big supporter of life, but not on the taxpayer's dime. Read More

Spearheaded by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, radio talk-show host Glenn Beck and others, ordinary Americans flocked to the Tea Party armed with a healthy disgust and deep suspicion of all things Washington-status-quo. The election of 2010 will go down in history as the Great Tea Party Massacre. The Founding Fathers would smile with pride at Sarah, Glenn and many other patriots. Read More

Growing the economy requires slashing taxes even in times of high deficits and debt. This has worked any number of times in our nation's history, and it would work today if the Obama administration types truly cared about growing our economy and putting America back to work. But they don't care.

This timeless tradition is an enormous part of our lives and brings us much positive energy and happiness. Not everybody gets a deer, but everybody gets it. Read More

The air of excitement fueled by the golden-tongued orator is gone. Reality has set in among many of those who were swept up with Mr. Obama's "hope and change" smoke and mirrors. Read More

Both the Democrats and the Republicans have been slow and resistant to accept that politics as usual isn't cutting it anymore with the bedrock producers of America. The status quo has always sucked, but it has reached a terminal vacuum. Read More
|
-
Compared to the bloated, ineffective, wasteful, expensive, irresponsible and downright enslaving Fedzilla programs the Democrats recently have rammed down our throats and will continue to force on us if re-elected, the Republican pledge surely would move America in a new, positive direction. Read More

-
For the GOP to support liberal RINOs (Republicans in name only) over truly conservative Tea Party candidates shows just how out of touch the party is with conservatives. Establishment status-quo politics on both sides has been the problem, not the solution. Read More

Americans must choose because the systems can't coexist.
We've been told there are so-called moderate Muslims who deplore terrorism and that Islam has been hijacked by extremists. Read More

I joyfully bring you a glowing report as I wrap up my tour across America 2010, where nightly, all summer long, I have been privileged to meet with great, hardworking and hard-playing American families from every imaginable walk of life in 68 cities. I share with you a powerful, united message of unstoppable good will, decency, indefatigable, positive spirit and a herculean work ethic that is absolutely dedicated to bringing America back from this embarrassing brink of unaccountable upside-down government gone mad.

There are a few dangerous things we can all agree on. For example, we surely can agree it's not wise to pet rabid dogs, commune with grizzly bears, swim in piranha-infested rivers or, of course, take a ride with me in a rental car. Read More

With more deer, elk, cougar, black bear, wild turkey, geese and other game than ever in recorded history, astonishingly, these are the ultimate good old days of hunting in North America. Read More

I still want to know how much it costs taxpayers for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to fly back and forth across the country in a military aircraft. Surely flying brooms are cheaper. Read More

Proposing to build a mosque so close to Ground Zero is an additional and intentional stick in the eye to the United States and, most egregiously, to the families of those who were murdered at the hands of Islamic killers. If the Muslims who want to build the mosque can't see and admit that, then they are truly blind to tolerance, understanding and decency - or they have another agenda that warrants increased surveillance by law enforcement.

Thank God for the First Amendment, for the freedom to express oneself is the freedom to know where they stand, and the clear and present platform of the left is contrary to everything that made this country great. Read More

Arizona should go about its business of implementing its new law and ignore Judge Bolton's activist, legally dumb and meritless decision. Other states should follow Arizona's lead and pass similar legislation. Read More

Major League Baseball has tougher ethics standards than Congress. All-time hit leader Pete Rose is banned from MLB for gambling on baseball games. Congressrats found guilty of ethics charges are often simply censured. Some consequence, huh? Scary stuff, huh? Read More

-
Mr. Obama can squawk all he wants and blame everyone from President George W. Bush to Tea Partiers to Fox News, but our anemic economy is the result of his willingness to allow Fedzilla to gorge mindlessly on more and more grotesque spending and borrowing and to sign more blubber-infested bills that no one has read or knows how to implement or what the impact will be on the economy. Read More

-
Rest assured, just as the Democrats lie to Americans, they also will lie to you. They will claim on one hand that they are your liberators. They will say anything, make any promise to get your support. Yet on the other hand, what they won't tell you is that once they have garnered your support, they ultimately will work to enslave you and ruin your families with Fedzilla programs and dollars that will destroy you and your families, much like the corrupt, abusive Mexican government you risked your lives to escape. Read More

With each passing day, common sense and the free market take a beating by big-government Marxists and the Mao Zedong fan club in the District of Clowns who believe feeding the bloated, ineffective Fedzilla is the right course for America. If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he surely would call for an armed revolution. Read More

Other than the Georgia peanut farmer turned governor and now a Chicago community rabble rouser turned senator, there is little substantive political difference between President Barack Obama and President Jimmy Carter. Read More

After watching Gen. McChrystal in a "60 Minutes" interview a year or so ago, I had no doubt that he believed then that the Afghanistan war was a total klusterphunk in progress because of the community-organizer-in-chief, Mr. Obama, and the Mao Zedong fan club with whom he had surrounded himself.

Come November, I'd highly recommend that America does like Uncle Ted: Trample the weak, hurdle the dead. Read More

We must stand in defiance of those Fedzillacrats who seek to reshape Wall Street without first cleaning up the root cause of the economic meltdown - Fedzilla's very own Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the gaggle of power abusers run amok. We know who they are, and they need to be brought to justice. Read More

My politics are about personal policymaking. Pragmatism drives my every day, and I vote for smart choices, logic, self-evident truth, accountability and simply doing the right thing. It used to be called "the American Way," and I will be damned if political correctness or the sheeping of America is going to knock me off my game. The throttling defiance of the original Americans is pounding through my veins 24/7/365, and it feels really good. Plus, it makes for some brutal rock 'n' roll, and real music lovers crave it like I do. Read More
