If Joe the Plumber were Jawad the Suspected Terrorist, civil-liberties activists would stampede the halls of Congress on his behalf. Liberal columnists would hyperventilate over the outrageous invasions of his privacy by Ohio state and local employees.   The ACLU would demand the Big Brother snoopers’ heads. And Democratic leaders would convene immediate hearings and parade him around the... 

After a long and careful consideration of all the implications and possible consequences of my actions today, I have decided to go through with this in the hope that our country can indeed be guided into the right direction. First, a little personal background… I am a female grad student in my 20’s, and a registered Democrat. During the primaries, I was a campaign worker for the Clinton candidacy.... 

If Barack Obama is not a socialist, he does the best imitation of one I’ve ever seen. Under his tax plan, the top 5 percent of wage-earners have their income tax rates raised from 35 percent to 40 percent, while the bottom 40 percent of all wage-earners, who pay no income tax, are sent federal checks. If this is not the socialist redistribution of wealth, what is it? A steeply graduated income... 

Dishing from the McCain campaign trail with Judy Black, national co-chair of Women for McCain. Judy is traveling with her husband, McCain’s top advisor Charlie Black. We talked behind the scenes on the trail in the battleground states. Connie Hair: Tell me about the reaction you’re getting from women around the country. Judy Black: The women are so fired up. We’ve been going into the battleground... 

If he’s elected next week, Barack Obama won’t be our first black president: Toni Morrison labeled Bill Clinton our “first black president” in October 1998.  (We have seen no reports that she retracted that label as a result of the South Carolina primary campaign). And never mind all the nonsense floating around the internet.  Barack Obama wasn’t born in Indonesia, or Kenya or wherever. ... 

In the early months after the September 11 attacks, Democrats began to complain that the Bush administration was muzzling them. They whined about not being able to criticize the administration’s policies or risk being called “unpatriotic” or “undermining the war effort.” Of course, the Bush administration did no such thing. There was legitimate concern that newspapers... 

Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism. But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers,... 

WFTV-Channel 9’s Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it’s some of the best entertainment he’s seen recently. What do you think? West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama’s comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn’t being a Marxist with the “spreading... 

Republican John McCain, kicking off a cross-state bus tour aimed at keeping vote-rich Florida from swinging to the Democrats, on Thursday accused rival Barack Obama of saying “anything to get elected.”   The Arizona senator noted that Obama had added a work requirement to his proposal to grant a 10 percent universal mortgage credit. Obama aides said the campaign added the requirement two... 

    The world is strife with ideological experimentation  in socialism.  Certainly East and West Germany,  North and South Korea, Mainland China and Hong Kong serve as  stark realities as to the perils of trying to “spread the wealth”.  The first American settlers flirted with the Utopian idea of “fairness” only to see it promote slothfulness and deter motivation for productivity. ...
