Neo-Confederate Judges? Who Knew?

Why did Scott Lemieux reach for the “neo-Confederate” epithet (he clearly means it as such) to describe the three federal judges who ruled against President Obama’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board? I’m old enough to remember when liberals claimed to oppose the “imperial presidency,” but I suppose that was because Nixon was […]

When the Good Guys Win

FEEL-GOOD STORY OF THE YEAR! pjmedia.com/instapundit/16… — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 20, 2013 “She was very brave, she stayed on the phone with the dispatcher the whole time — talked all the way through it and was still on the phone with dispatch when we got into the house.” — Ken Golden, Bryan County […]

Gun-Grabbers Now Hunting Blue Dogs, Target Georgia Democrat John Barrow

Rep. John Barrow (D-Georgia) may well be the most hated man in Congress. Liberals hate him — and he has faced challenges in Democrat primaries — because among other things, he was one of 39 House Democrats who voted against ObamaCare.

Dear Texas: Please Secede Now

When Your Gun Is Not Your Gun

Not just close the gun show loophole but total, universal background checks, including […]

A Soldier and Two Marines: Sworn to ‘Support and Defend the Constitution’

Sixty-one shipped out of Fort Meade today. Only one of them was 18 X-Ray. You’re welcome, America. — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 9, 2013 My son is now in training, but we got a lecture about “operational security” during our visit to the MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) and after discussion with my wife, […]
