“If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” -President Barack Obama, NBC, February 2009. I’m going to make this very simple. As of December 2008 (That is, the last month of the Bush Presidency) -Unemployment: 7.1 % -Workforce Participation Rate: 65.8% -Number of Individuals Below the…
Last night, my family and I went to see Dinesh D’Souza’s “2016,” a movie that I believe portrays better than anything else has the enigma that is Barack Obama. As the author of “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” aptly notes, no one definition that has been thrown around has succeeded in explaining the oddly different approach that…
(The original shortened version was published by the Daily Caller on August 24th, 2012. Any additional opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of TheDC. This is an elongated account written to include my personal observations and opinions.) In March of 2012, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano infamously assured the nation that our border…
Everyone knows that the closer we get to Election Day, the more ridiculous the political mudslinging gets. Whether it’s a front page splash about how Mitt Romney supposedly “bullied” a classmate in high school (though conveniently forgotten was Barack Obama’s autobiography confession of drug use in high school) or how the Romney family dog rode…
What does a chicken sandwich and a moral controversy have in common? Under typical circumstances, not much. Leave it up to the mainstream media and the liberal left, however, to find a way to bring the two together. For those who are unaware, the southern chicken sandwich chain “stepped in it” by daring to express…
Let’s take a break for a moment from the left-wing knee-jerk reaction to this weekend’s horrific act of violence and concentrate on something that flew somewhat under the radar as a result of the same. On July 19th, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano spoke before the House Judiciary Committee on the topic of prosecutorial discretion…
As a nation, we are known to collectively grieve when one part of our great land is faced with a terrible atrocity, as was the case on Friday when a madman rampaged a theater full of innocent people in Aurora, Colorado. Friday’s killing spree was not only a tragedy, but an outrage. One would think…
Her efforts have been called “McCarthyism” by fellow Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison. And, just like Senator McCarthy, time will likely prove her to be correct. . . sadly. Just slightly over a decade after 9/11, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann had the “nerve” to suggest the there might be a problem with radical Islamic infiltration in the United…
We’ve been in hard times before. We’ve seen our share of tough spots. And generally, we’ve been able to come out of them. This inexcusable excuse for fiscal management, however, is arguably the worst this nation has ever experienced. Never before have we seen such debt, such deficit, and as if all that weren’t enough- such an…
Just as I require myself to watch the Passion of the Christ every Easter week so that I’m reminded of exactly what it took for Jesus to earn my eternal salvation, I require myself to stop amidst the fireworks, carnivals, parades, grill-outs, and think about exactly what it took to earn my EARTHLY freedom. Our…
