by Rachel Hoff
A new poll of America’s 18-29 year-olds released yesterday by Harvard’s Institute of Politics gives the Republican Party serious hope for change in 2010.
The poll reveals a significant enthusiasm gap among young voters, with young Republicans expressing greater eagerness to vote in November’s midterm elections than their young Democrat counterparts. Among young Republicans, [...]

A Health Care Scare for the Dems

Filed under Commentary

By Ericka Andersen
It’s clear that the Pelosi and crew are hurting to gather all the votes necessary to pass their government takeover of health care. Michael Barone broke it down today and it seems unlikely that they will without pulling out every backdoor, corrupted stop they’ve got. Every day, we read more reports of another [...]

If you’re like most Americans and too busy to read whiny feminist blogs, note that March is Women’s History Month. Christina Hoff Sommers has an article in the current Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute’s Policy Express on taking back the feminist movement and highlighting women’s history. It’s an absolute must read. She writes: 

But today the [...]

Missing Children

The unimaginable wrecking anguish that grips a family when a child goes missing can not be adequately expressed by mere words. In the past few weeks I have received two specific emails from friends who in some way have experienced this in their own lives or in the lives of  close relatives. The pain that [...]

Filed under Commentary

Epic Fail -A mistake of such monumental proportions that it requires its own term in order to successfully point out the unfathomable shortcomings of an individual or group.
Epic Fail, a term used by many high schoolers today, may be a useful term to describe the Senate Health Care plan. Epic: “of unusually great size or [...]

Pro-Life America is Bipartisan, Mr. President

March 9, 2010 by Ericka Andersen  
Filed under Commentary

By Ericka Andersen
Since Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak made abortion a defining issue in the health care debate, we’ve seen a landslide of human interest stories surrounding the topic. It has put the emotion-laden argument on a pedestal, but has ultimately been a winner for the pro-life community. Stats show that more Americans are pro-life than [...]

By Rachel Hoff | 3.8.2010
International Women’s Day has a checkered history. It was first observed in 1909 by the Socialist Party of America. Over the years, the day has been used to rally for causes from workers’ rights to peace movements to feminism.
Today International Women’s Day has a different tone around the world. In some [...]

Foreign-Acting Obama Good for Foreign Relations

March 9, 2010 by Anthony Bialy  
Filed under Commentary

Remember to be thankful when President Barack Obama forgets who he is.   He’s occasionally neglected to be himself on terror matters, which proves much more than how personal sincerity can be so overrated.
He remains lamentably committed to being a professor of a community organizer on economic issues, preferring to take money from anyone who’s marginally [...]

All Things Being Equal, Many Aren’t Moderates

March 8, 2010 by Anthony Bialy  
Filed under Commentary

Swinging up and down completely differs from remaining level.  A boat bouncing severely while riding stormy waves isn’t enjoying what averages out to a smooth journey.  While that’s true in the real world, it’s not so in the rather perverse confines of Washington, D.C., where even physics lessons are commonly ignored.  Within that ignoble swamp, [...]

By: Julianne Thompson

February 27, 2009 was a very cold and rainy day in Atlanta as nearly one thousand gathered at the Georgia State Capitol to protest government bailouts and spending spiraling out of control.  Americans from all walks of life, socio-economic levels, races, and political backgrounds gathered together that day all around the country, inspired [...]
