Daily Caller By Ken Blackwell Ken Klukowski 12/30/2011 Eric Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an all-out war on voter-ID laws and other measures designed to safeguard the electoral process. Although Holder’s actions are purportedly to prevent African-Americans from being disenfranchised, the reality is that they serve the crass political purpose of ensuring that Holder’s boss gets re-elected next year. In the past several years states have increasingly focused on measures to…

For President Barack Obama, 2011 began with a bang — a bold pronouncement that his green dream for America would bring forth a jobs explosion and a new economy fueled by alternative energy, a vision he likened to President John F. Kennedy’s “moon shot” in the 1960s. Much to Obama’s chagrin, the year has ended in a whimper with his green energy “sun shot” sputtering to the ground before it…

In a great piece yesterday at Townhall, John Hawkins debunked the “Romney is the electable candidate” myth being pushed by Multiple Choice Mitt’s apologists in the media and GOP establishment. Mitt Romney was a moderate governor in Massachusetts with an unimpressive record of governance. He left office with an approval rating in the thirties and his signature achievement, Romneycare, was a Hurricane Katrina style disaster for the state. Since that’s the case,…

The last three years have been an “E” ticket ride (a sop for you older readers), watching her continually swing for the fences, and usually connecting for extra bases. This October, she…

We examine the options and choose one more attractive than the other, but still the lesser of two evils. The statement itself describes the “best” one of the options as less than desirable.    This philosophy undergirds…
