Yes, Astorino Can Win New York for the GOP

By Peter Roff Most of the pundits who follow national politics have already made up their minds about what’s going on in New York.   They see the possibility of a GOP pickup of two or even three seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, especially if President Barack Obama’s job approval number is, as it appears to be, headed south of 40 percent. Aside from that, however, they expect bad news for the GOP. New York’s Republican Party has yet to recover from the thumping it received eight years ago at the hands of the now-disgraced Elliot Spitzer,...

The Left’s War on Civility

Remember when Democrats admonished conservatives against uncivil behavior just for speaking up? Good times.   In personal life, civility is politeness, and courtesy in speech and behavior, a sign of respect. In public life, civility is respect for the rights and responsibilities of others, the foundation of our Federalist Republic. Civility, itself, is under assault by Barack Obama, the Democratic Party, and Leftists in general. They believe that their ends are civil and justify their uncivil means; their ends being the reformation of America into a socialist utopia under their control. Just compare George W. Bush to Barack Obama.   President...

Leftists are piling on and calling for the deaths of actual women in what is the ignored Democrat war on women. Case #1: Holly Fisher, the wife of a military vet, is a vocal conservative. In the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision to uphold the right of Hobby Lobby and other loosely-held companies to be exempted from the Obamacare contraception mandate...

A Case for America the Movie

Last week I went to see Dinesh D’Souza’s America: Imagine the World Without Her and I am right now advising everyone to take the time to see it.   In it, D’Souza takes on the Left’s baseless and one-sided claims about America: to hear the Left’s version of history, America is a nation built on racism, sexism, classism, and imperialism. In less than two hours, D’Souza lays waste to these absolute absurd charges leveled against the United States. It’s worth noting that D’Souza actually lets the Left lay out their case against America in their own words. This is a...
