The Forgotten Man by Jon McNaughton The Forgotten Man by Jon McNaughton is one of the most thought-provoking works of art I’ve seen in a long time. In it, President Barack Obama is stepping on the Constitution while a dejected American sits nearby. I first heard of Jon McNaughton when The Forgotten Man was mentioned on The Drudge Report . I visited his website to view more of his work, but wasn’t able to see much. Evidently, Mr. McNaughton’s site is getting so much traffic that pages are... Read Full Story

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has said and done some stupid things over the years, but their latest stunt may have topped them all. The organization filed a lawsuit against Sea World , charging that the park is violating the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by “enslaving” whales. “It’s a new frontier in civil rights,” said Jeff Kerr, PETA general counsel, who described the hearing as a “historic day.” “Slavery does not depend on the species of the slave any...

Should people be allowed to by cupcakes with food stamps? A Florida legislator is sponsoring a bill which would prevent individuals from purchasing junk food with food stamps . As you can imagine, liberals and the poverty pimps are up in arms. Not surprisingly, food stamps are one of the few things Democrats don’t want to regulate. I’m against government interference in the personal lives of its citizens, but I strongly favor this legislation. Why? Because the government pays for the food... Read Full Story

The obverse of the Eisenhower Dollar, which was minted from 1971 to 1978. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about making changes to U.S. coinage. Some think making changes to the standard line-up of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters is unfathomable, but I think it’s long over-due, and certainly not without precedence. Let’s not forget that at one time, we had 3 cent and 20 cent coins. I’ve heard several proposals, so I figured I would throw out my own. First, I would get rid of the... Read Full Story

I saw a headline concerning an uproar over a controversial movie poster (pictured above). The movie poster for Les Infideles , shows a man standing between a woman’s legs, while her feet are near his head. Not only wasn’t I offended, but I couldn’t see why anyone would be bothered by it. Stephane Martin of the ARPP, France’s advertising regulator, asked that the posters be removed because they, “present a degrading image of women, because in both cases you do not see the woman’s face...

Donald Trump with his wife, Melania Knauss Trump Today, Donald Trump announced that he will be endorsing Mitt Romney for President. Some were surprised that Trump didn’t choose Gingrich, and right up until the announcement, there was suspense over what he would announce. For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone would care who Trump endorsed. Donald Trump is little more than a reality star. Does anyone care what the cast members of Survivor , Big Brother , or American Idol think... Read Full Story

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney “I’m in this race because I care about Americans. I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich, they’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling, and I’ll continue to take that message across the nation.” I’m not a Mitt Romney supporter, but I can’t believe anyone...

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich Debate Mitt Romney has won the Florida Primary by a wide margin over Newt Gingrich, but the race for the Republican nomination is far from over. The media has been portraying each win or loss as a make or break moment, but the truth is that four states have voted, and 46 remain. Florida Senator Marco Rubio seems to think that the winner of Florida will win the nomination, but I’m not so sure. If Newt Gingrich can pick up some wins, along with some strong... Read Full Story

Nancy Pelosi keeps hinting that she knows something that will derail Newt Gingrich’s Presidential run. I doubt she knows anything of any substance, but if she does, I’d expect it to become known in October. That would be the worst possible timing if Gingrich were to become the nominee. As for Newt, a picture says a thousand words. This one speaks volumes. Read Full Story

Over the last few years, we’ve seen more and more candidates invoke the memory of President Ronald Reagan. I don’t blame them for admiring Reagan’s accomplishments, but I do often question their sincerity. Are these candidates simply sharing thoughts about their fondness for Reagan, or is it solely a transparent method of trying to ride the coattails of a man they may not really identify with? This has been going on a while, but it has been Newt Gingrich’s frequent mentions of Reagan during... Read Full Story
