“Save us, Amish peoples!” Americans for Limited Government President Nathan Mehrens today issued the following statement urging members of the House of Representatives to adopt an amendment offered by Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash to the 2014 Defense Appropriations Act that would defund FBI and NSA domestic surveillance to collect communications data “if such things do not pertain to a person who is the subject of an investigation”: “The amendment

For the fairness!  And the enforced “diversity”.  For our own post-racial good!  CNS News: To ensure that “every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of,” HUD has published a new fair-housing regulation intended to give people access to better neighborhoods than the ones they currently live in. The goal is to help communities understand “fair housing barriers” and “establish clear goals” for “improving

A 60′ long scroll with the signatures of 1000 Special Ops veterans sounds, on the surface at least, as if it would provide a bold, in-your-face objective correlative to the GOP leadership’s foot dragging and timidity on the Benghazi travesty, which has, in addition to keeping the American people largely in the dark over any findings, continued to benefit the absent, AWOL President and our former Secretary of State, who

Great. So the wannabe cop is now a wannabe emergency rescue worker?  I’m just a bit sickened by his presumptuousness, I must say.  I mean, what if he’d used the fire extinguisher incorrectly — like, filled it with gasoline rather than that foamy shit that puts out fires — as non-accredited people are wont to do, and the family burned up like blacks in southern churches back in the days

In fact, we’re up to even more of

I had a long, angry response prepared — John McCain being a needy pander looking for strokes from the liberal media, it was a target rich environment; and that’s before I got into what a bald, craven, opportunistic statist moron with an insatiable lust for power and attention he is — but instead of wasting any more time on this blazing example of the worst of professional politics, I just

I love Andrew Malcolm, but without even reading his IBD piece, I’m going to offer an answer, since the question was posed up front. Ready? Because Obama, like Holder, is a cynical, polished, race-baiting huckster — the more refined version of a Sharpton or even a rhyming, buffoonish Jesse Jackson — and he’s built his entire career on calculating white guilt, the fear people have of being labeled racist (and

Naturally, American Thinker editor Rick Moran is against the idea — he believes recall elections are costly, and besides, they should only be attempted in the event of gross misconduct by lawmakers, not over “policy differences,” an assault on our second amendment that disallows government the power to infringe on a natural right evidently not evidence of such a violation of their oath, but instead just one more minor partisan

Mark Steyn on Detroit By the time Detroit declared bankruptcy, Americans were so inured to the throbbing dirge of Motown’s Greatest Hits — 40 percent of its streetlamps don’t work; 210 of its 317 public parks have been permanently closed; it takes an hour for police to respond to a 9-1-1 call; only a third of its ambulances are driveable; one-third of the city has been abandoned; the local realtor
