Is Marriage Becoming ‘Obsolete’? Women, Children, Minorities Hardest Hit

Forty percent of respondents to a Pew Center survey say that marriage is “obsolete.” Coincidentally — or perhaps not so coincidentally — 40% of U.S. births are to unwed mothers, as Jennifer Marshall of the Heritage Foundation noted in May: Hardly anyone noticed this month when new data showed 40 percent of all births are […]

Emergency! Democrats Trying to Shove DREAM Amnesty Through Lame-Duck

Forget the TSA gropers at the airport. Forget Dancing With the Stars. Forget everything and focus on this: During his re-election campaign in Nevada, [Harry] Reid said he would try again to pass the legislation, known as the Dream Act. And in a Twitter message on Wednesday evening, his office said he would try to […]

Bristol and the Haters

From her Facebook page: Willow and I shouldn’t have reacted to negative comments about our family. We apologize.

He’s one of the vilest bigots on the web.” — Andrew Sullivan OK, post-election flame-wars being The New Black, I’m happy at last to have an antagonist who (a) hates all Republicans and […]
