I guess we should declare Rick Santorum now on suicide watch: While addressing America’s entitlement crisis at his first New Hampshire event since his stunning near-victory in the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, Santorum said Reagan contributed to the entitlement crisis by pushing Social Security’s sustainability issues down the road instead of dealing with them head-on […]
There has been a lot of talk over a new poll that shows Americans would pick Ronald Reagan to fix the economy over FDR. The poll is really interesting: Ronald Reagan beat out Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the former president Americans would like to see in the White House during these trying economic times, a […]
Republicans have been lobbing that “class warfare” meme at President Obama ever since he said that the wealthiest should pay their fair share in taxes. It’s pretty funny, considering the idol of the GOP, one Ronald Reagan, also thought the same way. We’re going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that allow some of the […]
Bob Cesca has posted the following chart, showing how the share of income labor sees is at a historic low: What’s interesting is how much the share dipped during the Bush years. During Clinton’s term, the rate was on the rise, after a substantial fall during the Reagan and Bush 41 years. So what does […]
From ABC: Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to “light his shoes on fire” on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News.

Once this bill gets out of Congress and President Obama signs it, then I really hope he is ready for a sell job for the rest of his time in office. Let’s examine the facts. The current polling shows the public very turned off by this bill: That alone gives the Republicans an excellent platform […]
Image via Wikipedia What a way to really shrink the size of the RNC tent: First Read has obtained a resoultion being e-mailed around to Republican National Committee members for comments that proposes a conservative litmus test of sorts. This comes on the heels of a rift in the party that was exposed in the […]
Yesterday there was a pro-secession rally in Texas, or as I like to call it “the Rick Perry fan club”. One of the chants they were yelling – “we hate the United States”. Could you imagine that being yelled by people on the left during the Bush years? Welcome to the no-fly list, being intercepted […]
Remember when Joe Biden said someone would really test Obama early in his presidency? Well I would consider the pirates capturing U.S. ships and crew as a test, and after yesterday’s news of the Hollywood style rescue of captain Richard Phillips, it looks like he passed his first big military test. For President Obama, last […]
