Texas Insider: AUSTIN, Texas – The media love to portray any person who freaks out as a rightwing extremist.  If someone goes on a shooting rampage or takes a hostage or sends a threatening letter, the media seem to be less interested in if that person were simply mentally unstable than what conservatives organizations he or she belongs too.

They don’t focus on the incident; they focus on what drove the “rightwing extremist” to do harm. Now, we have a case where a leftwing radical went psycho.     Continue Reading.

A dangerous world needs stronger U.S. leadership.

Texas Insider: AUSTIN, Texas – At times Tuesday night, it sounded as if President Barack Obama didn’t know what kind of speech he wanted to give. Was it a foreign policy address aimed at assuring a world-wide audience of America’s resolve in the war against militant Islam?

Or was it an election stump speech to confirm to voters that the economy is job No. 1 for this president and his party? Continue Reading.

How does one discredit the massive back-to-the-values-that-made-this-country-great rally in Washington at the National Mall?

Easy. Call Glenn Beck, the leader and organizer of the rally, a “racist” — as does former Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean.   Continue Reading.

An indignant President Obama complained last week, “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.” Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” — not international law or global diktats.

Case in point: Last week, Obama’s State Department handed in America’s first-ever report to the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights in conjunction with something called the “Universal Periodic Review.” In short, the 29-page document is a self-aggrandizing report card touting the administration’s far-left domestic and foreign policy initiatives for the world’s approval.

SAN DIEGO — Just in time for Labor Day, a reader critical of my views on immigration sends along some career advice.

“You really need to find another line of work,” he wrote. “You are not worth a (expletive) at what you are doing now. I hear they need strawberry pickers.” Continue Reading.

Barack Obama and the Democrats are doing all they can to hand the November elections to the Republicans. They continue to push big-government, socialist programs down the throats of Americans, and then they wonder why they are sinking in the polls.

It’s as if all that anger and frustration building up around the country is just background noise to them. For over a year, that frustration and sense that America needs to be put back in the right direction has manifested itself in the Tea Party movement. Continue Reading.

Honey, I Shrunk My Approval Ratings

By Karl Rove

In what will rank as one of the all-time presidential PR disasters, we’re now well over half way through what the White House called “the summer of recovery.” 

And what a recovery it’s been.  All of this has helped shatter public confidence in the president.     Continue Reading.

Among the dangers lurking in Congress’s fall session and lame duck session will be Obama’s demand that the Senate rush to ratify the treaty called New START, which he signed with the Russians in Prague last April. This treaty is not only a bad idea, it’s downright dangerous to U.S. national security.

For the first time in the long record of U.S.-Russian treaties, New START links offensive and defensive weapons. Obama’s advocates of ratification say that doesn’t matter because the link is only in the preamble and that doesn’t bind us. Continue Reading.

Thanks for the Reminder, Glenn

By Michael Reagan

Glenn Beck’s remarkable rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Saturday was a wake-up call for his beloved America.

This nation, he reminded us, is and has been since its founding a nation under God. Failure to recognize our absolute dependence upon God, he said, has put this nation in peril.     Continue Reading.

Don’t confuse the dramatic swell of the Republican tide that is becoming increasingly evident to the pundits of the country with party trend. Right before Election Day, the numbers will get even better and presage an even larger Republican victory.

Party trend usually indicates itself in the ten days before an election when voters who do not typically follow politics closely tune in and decide for whom to vote. Until this window, they usually describe themselves to pollsters as “undecided.” There will be a huge Republican party trend this year, but it hasn’t happened yet. Continue Reading.
