Obama’s Support for the UN Arms Treaty is Back On

by Bob Adelmann | 12:46 pm, November 12, 2012

At least Obama is consistent. Adolph Hitler wrote: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms.”

Keeping Election Day in Perspective

by Bob Adelmann | 9:28 am, October 30, 2012

Lawrence Reed, the President of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), has written an excellent piece about having the proper perspective about the upcoming election. His quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley‘s sonnet, “Ozymandias” reminds me of the same thing we tried to do with young people attending Birch camps many years ago: giving them a longer [...]

George McGovern: The Liberal Who Got Mugged

by Bob Adelmann | 6:32 am, October 24, 2012

There’s no way this guy was a libertarian, despite some people who suggested he was. He was a statist through and through. Anyone who served as a “fellow” at the Institute for Policy Studies knows its agenda: destroy the capitalist system and replace it with a totalitarian one. But he was right on the Vietnam War.

The Battle for the Senate is Not Going Well

by Bob Adelmann | 9:04 am, October 23, 2012

In Scott Rasmussen’s “Political Commentary” on Friday, he expressed his opinion, based on his own polls, that the GOP would not gain control of the Senate. Earlier this looked very do-able, with so many vulnerable Democrat seats available for the taking. But now? Not so much: When 2012 began, the presidential race looked too close [...]

Welfare Tops $1 Trillion for the First Time

by Bob Adelmann | 6:11 am, October 23, 2012

The government is spending itself into bankruptcy by trying to be all things to all people, using other peoples’ money. Until the money runs out, that is…

Call 911 But Carry a 1911

by Bob Adelmann | 3:04 pm, October 22, 2012

Here is another example, exasperatingly but predictably missing from the nightly news, of how the Second Amendment saves lives. Imagine what went through this 12-year-old girl’s mind when a thug entered her home after kicking in the back door. Imagine what would go through yours if one entered yours. Here is what happened: Frantically, she [...]

What’s Missing from the Debates?

by Bob Adelmann | 1:04 pm, October 22, 2012

Once you get through his sarcasm and occasionally funny caricatures of Romney and Obama as Alpha Males in a Cage, Jerry Bowyer makes some very good points. But let’s start with this: Setting aside the nostrum that this election is unique in modern times and probably the most important of our lifetimes, a trope which [...]

Senator Coburn’s 2012 Wastebook Names Biggest Waste: Congress

by Bob Adelmann | 6:04 am, October 22, 2012

Behind this story is another more unsettling one: Congress is unwilling to grow a backbone and confront Obama and/or the issues of the day. That means that it is becoming more and more irrelevant as the Executive assumes more and more influence and control.

Libya Coverup Pours Gasoline on Obama’s Funeral Pyre

by Bob Adelmann | 7:04 pm, October 21, 2012

Judge Andrew Napolitano has, bless his soul, added to our understanding of what happened in Libya on September 11th. And it adds considerably to the evidence that Obama is corrupt, and that he has surrounded himself with similar types. Initially Obama (his state department, intelligence network, etc.) blamed the attack on our ambassador and the other [...]

The Budget Battle: Entitlements Staying, Taxes Going Up

by Bob Adelmann | 12:31 am, April 12, 2012

The game is rigged. If you can control the conversation, then the results can be predicted. Statist A (Obama) is debating with Statist B (Paul Ryan—sorry!) about just how much we want government to grow. Yup, that’s the question. No shrinking, no cutting, no limiting, no eliminating. That’s how the game is played.
