What a difference a year makes….
The president said, “Let’s send some more troops over there, and that will give the Iraqis the time to take care of themselves.” We sent other troops over there, and there are a lot of reasons the surge certainly hasn’t hurt. It’s helped. I recognize that.

Since 1927, TIME Magazine has chosen a man, woman, or idea that “for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.”
General Petraeus has influenced events this year (for better) more than Time’s preferred homage to a communist tyrant-in-the-making.

I’ve been writing columns for a few years now, so I’ve had the opportunity to see patterns when they look me square in the face and, based on my recent encounters with Ron Paul supporters, patterns have begun to emerge.
When looking at pictures of Paul supporters you see young and old alike, but you also [...]

After this recent encounter with Ron Paul supporters, I now realize I’ve been looking at this the wrong way. Mr. Paul, whether he realizes it or not, is providing a real public service. He is giving America a lesson on entitlements.

I was in error.

America is an evil nation with evil people. That is, except for our leftists, right?
Whether it be another lawsuit alleging the mistreatment of enemy combatants, who wear no official uniform, or any number of documentaries produced that make America the mother of all evil empires, I’m beyond tired of seeing the ungrateful protected by [...]

I had the honor of interviewing John Stossel a few weeks ago and believe he’s one of the best in the business.
Stossel is a Libertarian, thus takes no side in our presidential squabbles. He asked Mr. Paul some very fair questions. His answers solidified my decision on whether or not to support him, [...]

His supporters are rude enough to pass for MoveOn.org types….
“Did I request that you send me snotty emails bitching about Ron Paul supporters? My only reply to this email would be kiss my ass you arogant bastard! It’s no wonder ‘the media’ get’s ignored by ‘real’ people you snobish bastard.”
But when listening to [...]
