I heard part of the Dennis Prager show today in which he questioned a caller about why the left acts despicably but the right acts honorably. The caller did not have a good answer. You may have covered this in another part of your show, but here is the simple answer: The left has a […]

It seems that nowadays you no longer have the presumption of innocence in the body politic. Instead the presumption of innocence depends on how much we “like” the person.

“Make government smaller?” – I don’t believe you

When you say “make government smaller” — I say “I don’t believe you” — unless you say exactly how small. Better put our money where your mouth is and make it real. “Smaller” to me is just a euphemism for “business as usual.” Unless you say exactly how small you want it to be. Management […]

“Occupy” members are breaking the law

Without exception, the “Occupy” demonstrators have not obtained permits for a demonstration. Virtually all Tea Party gatherings were required to do so. Plus obtain liability insurance. This is not equal protection of the law. The thugs and hooligans are permitted to operate outside the law, but law-abiding average Americans are not. Yet another double standard. […]
