Counting Chickens Before November
For quite some time, it's been "common knowledge" on the Right that Obama and the Democrats are fated to lose big in 2012. So why does confidence seem to be increasing among Democrats? Well, I believe I know why Democrats think they have a shot at retaining -- even increasing -- their power in November, and I'm sorry to say that they may have a point.
As the Obama administration's policies continue to wreck our economy and ruin our future, more and more people are becoming dependent on government handouts for basic sustenance -- an increase of 23% over the last two years. This is being made...
Not Yet, Newt
A friend of mine wrote to tell me that he was going to support Newt Gingrich for President, because he's a great debater and a smart man who knows history. Those things are true, and Newt does have a shot at the Republican nomination... but he hasn't gotten that title yet.

Obama Goes Cowboy on Osama
So Obama used information that was obtained from Gitmo detainees who have never been brought to trial, including men who were waterboarded like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to send American forces into a sovereign nation without even notifying its leaders and without seeking the approval of the United Nations, in order to assassinate -- not arrest -- Osama bin Laden, killing him outright regardless of his rights and without even giving him a military tribunal, much less a trial.
